Finally got around to listening to Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah: 4th World War. It’s great and all, but I’ll need more time to determine how much I like it.
Also today going to listen to Antony and the Johnsons’ The Crying Light and A.C. Newman’s Get Guilty. Two of my favorite artists; I’m hoping they match the quality of their previous work (I mean I Am a Bird Now and The Slow Wonder, not Hercules and Love Affair and the New Pornographers– though I do love both acts even though I found Challengers disappointing).
I owe three people mixtapes. I’ve got to get to work on that.
