automatic slim!

she's been a+++++ mindblowing both times i've seen her live btw

I saw her at SXSW in March and she was over an hour late to her set, then played two half-assed songs and left.

isn't this a problem w/ festival shows in general tho? haven't been to one in a while but imo they're kind of the worst place to get excited about seeing a specific artist. lots of sets tend to be short and half-assed and u can never tell when the band u really want to see is going to bring it or not

Yeah, you're right and I'd probably go see her again...

agree with lex, she is mind-blowing live

we just dropped complete gov island beach lineup: Mos Def, B-52, Buckethead, Erykah, DSO, one or two others still in progress and a lot of midrange stuff

Erykah! Go on tour again! I'll travel as far as Dallas or DC to see you!

Indeed. And still no sight of Return of the Ankh *sigh*. Not that I should have expected her to follow through on it any time soon, but a boy can hope, right?

Latest word is it will be released next February, but I know better than to hope now. Lucky for me, the first volume has replay value unto eternity.

It does exist...

sweet thanks for the heads up!

wowowowowowow

haha love how casually this is slipped in at the end -

Badu finished by stating that the third album in the New Amerykah series would be titled Lowdown, Low Underground and would be sung in the persona of her alias Loretta Brown, a woman that’s “from the ’50s but acts like she’s from the ’40s - the 2040’s.”

janelle monáe i love you but you better get your album out quick smart if you don't want ms badu to render it completely irrelevant.

omgomgomg cannot wait!!!

The track ends with children screaming.

okay best album of 2010, I'm calling it right now

woohoooo

dayammmmm

it's gonna badu vs. maxwell for best 2010 r&b sequel

i want this now

so excited you guys!

I have no words to describe my excitement.

okay reading more of this, I really really REALLY wish people would learn and understand the difference between "atonal", "distorted" and "dissonant"

yessssssssssssss. pumped.

Not much to add here. 2010 is gonna be a strong year for music. But I feel like I've been saying this every year for the past few years.

Color me thrilled.
