"window seat" is crushingly good

I guess you could say that songs are crafted the way Subway sandwiches are made. You start with the bread, then a little bit of lettuce, then we point to the pickles and so on, and the bass line was the oil and vinegar. That's how it happens.

wow, that is some good shit. most interesting:
-she records in the control room with no headphones, did not know that-the part about how the engineer doesn't even like to put the vocals recorded to tape back into pro tools, because it changes the sound, damn-madlib submitted his track as a single mp3, holy shit

i love how she hiccups "buh-by" -- also how she abruptly ends the sentence "if anyone speak to scotty, tell em beam me up"

on first listen, its a fucking awesome record. the closing epic is, in the best way, green eyes pt 2.

somehow that cover is not that surprising
― ogmor, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:09 (sixteen years ago)
Surprising, no. Overwhelmingly awesome, yes, definitely.

it looks like a bad rave poster from 1995
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:11 (sixteen years ago)
also, window seat isnt at all bad, but it does sound like she can barely be bothered with it. i get the impression she doesnt mind too much which seat she gets.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:12 (sixteen years ago)
eh no, she's not disinterested she's disillusioned imo
― TNTiger: we know sexy (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:14 (sixteen years ago)
badu came to london today to play the record to reviewers.
― aw beat de holy jasus.. (stevie), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:16 (sixteen years ago)
gotta second stevie. album is amazing, she is a genius &c &c. my notes for one song just say "couldn't write anything, song too gorgeous".
she wore some very strange baby blue capri pants, stiletto boots which looked like doc martens and a top hat, btw.
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:42 (sixteen years ago)
also, when asked when the thing would be released, she looked genuinely baffled and said something like, "i don't know, don't y'all have the internet now?"
