I love her Twitter feed. It's reorganizing my understanding of communication.

she's playing some festival in a few months. just saying, it might not be the whole year or whatever that people expect.

kudos to matt c for getting an erykah retweet though
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd rather she got off the Tweet and back on the spliff.
― neu hollywood (Eric H.), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 19:31 (fifteen years ago) link
i heard pt 2 was december. but getting a release date might be more like july/august?
also this thread/board way undervalues WORLDWIDE UNDERGROUND, particularly as a stepping stone between mama's gun and the last one.

eh. WWU isn't that bearable as a whole, but I gotta make caveat that "I Want You" just might be the best jam she's done
― Styles Davis (The Reverend), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 19:40 (fifteen years ago) link
yea i don't remember liking WWU that much. i worked in a record store in college and a co-worker played it all the time. part of the reason why i barely noticed when NA pt 1 came out and didn't get around to hearing it until a couple months ago. but i should give it another listen
― mark cl, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 19:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Everything up through "I Want You" is great.
― neu hollywood (Eric H.), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 19:44 (fifteen years ago) link
'danger' is def one of my favourite erykah trax ever. and yeah 'i want you' is great too.

my post was meant to liberate you all from your hazy recollection that it isn't that good: it turns out that it is instead pretty good. i want you's something else completely.

she sounded good at jazzfest btw, band is tight. she had them breaking every four bars more or less.

is it her and the laptop guys?

Not interested in seeing her tour, really. 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.

I understand when she's on, tho, she's really on.
She remains one of the few artists I'd travel out of my way (say, to Chicago) to see in concert.

it probably won't be like that though? i don't know. (also hadn't she just got like stalked at her home) i am doing that thing of transferring quiet solitary communion with records -> live acoustical experience but i am gonna spend money i don't have on going.

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
― mark cl, Thursday, 25 June 2009 12:48 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, you're right and I'd probably go see her again...
