Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ6t1_tYH4M

what is with her and the number 33? I mean, I know what I think it means, but what does she think it means?

she's obsessed with 333, not 33

okay...what about 333?

I'm just gonna do a little BRAGGIN 2010, and say I got to sit in the icy cold Studio 6B and watch Erykah and band rehearse that jam yesterday morning.

Agreed, as long as backup singer to her left is also in the top 3.

im on the 8 minute mark for the 4th time. damn damn damn damn!!!! i want a recount! why i get window seat?! i want the last 10 min song!!

"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.

kinda geeky making-of tech interview

did not know whiney was producing this, congrats!

NO CHEESE ON THIS SONG PLEASE, ERYKAH

- Whiney G Weingarten

looool

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

madlib submitted his song as a streamable 32kbps .rm file to stay away from the whole digital vibe

YSI?

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

just had interview with her confirmed for tomorrow :D

!!

it's a politics-slanted i/view, not an arts one

can't remember when i was last really nervous about meeting an artist! prob mjb

are you going to the playback, alex? see you there, if so!

yes!!! so excited

"madlib submitted his track as a single mp3, holy shit"

great. :(

hate all of you going to the playback

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

well alright then xp

how are you listening to it?

rough shot of the cover art:

WHOA

somehow that cover is not that surprising

Surprising, no. Overwhelmingly awesome, yes, definitely.

it looks like a bad rave poster from 1995

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.

eh no, she's not disinterested she's disillusioned imo

how are you listening to it?

badu came to london today to play the record to reviewers.

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.

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?"

lol

:D
