Bought my first CDs in probably a year or more today .. well, three of them actually, though they were with vouchers that were given to me for my birthday last October !! I'd been thinking what to buy for ages when I watched a film last night called Dave Chappelle's Block Party (click here for web site ). Now, I'm not usually overly keen on rap/hip hop/r'n'b .. not because it's bad .. I usually find it either too sickly sweet or too overly violent and I guess as a 47 year old white guy, it's not designed to speak to me, but this film was basically about getting a small party (block) with some of the big names and it was good to hear them in a loose friendly atmosphere .. so that was that .. out I went to buy especially Erykah Badu's CD and how damn sexy is she !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also bought one by a band called the Roots .. sounds ok on a first play but not in the same league of Badu and just in case I was dissapointed I also bought some classic Jazz 'straight no chaser' by Thelonious Monk.
Had to go into town today and despite it being a bit grey, itreally feels like spring's round the corner .. soon be time to re-visit Jas cafe to sit outside and watch the world go by.
Anyway .. back to the CD's now .. certainly like the Badu one kind of lilting ... bit Fugee stylee without the rapping guys .. bit of a jazzy feel too ...

That's Erykah Badu? Without her headress? Damn, she's a fine woman.
