		<title>Don&#8217;t sleep on &#8220;gas 0095&#8243;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My morning listening groove: Gas 0095 by Mat Jarvis.

		<description><![CDATA[ 
This is a &#8216;tumar,&#8217; a gift from a dear, sweet friend from Kyrgyzstan. One should write a prayer on a slip of paper, place it inside the tumar and wear it around your neck.
