Here's what Rock the Earth sent me, they're good guys...Rock the Earth kicked off Summer Tour 2009 with RtE playing a very active role at the Memorial Day Weekend music festival Summer Camp in Chillicothe, Illinois. We presented Green Screens (environmental documentaries) each night in the Change of Atmosphere tent, and provided concert-goers with an outlet for recycling their old mobile phones...

Check out the c [...]

The Associated Press’ top 10 albums list does contain some of the usual suspects such as Kanye, Taylor, Lil Wayne, but it also features artists who have yet to realize platinum status and others who are firmly entrenched in alternative scene. All of the artists have one thing in common - they created the best CDs of year. Here’s a rundown of music’s elite.1. Erykah Badu, “New Amerykah, Part One...

To me, Erykah Badu has always been slept on. Maybe it's my age but, you never hear too much about what this great woman is up to. This album New Amerykah is the only Eryka Badu album I own. I know she has many but I'm working my way backwards. I was drawn to it because it is produced by Madlib, one of my favorite creators to listen to. Few can put together sounds as eliquent and soulful as he e...

It's no secret that Dallas native Erykah Badu is a fixture at just about every respectable hip-hop show that rolls through town. I've seen her join in on performances by Outkast, Digable Planets, Common, the Roots , and others over the last 10 years or so. But if I would've known that Ms. Badu was going to show up at the Palladium last night to help out on My Morning Jacket 's cover of her live...

As the opener to her fourth studio album New Amerykah, Pt. 1 (4th World War), “Amerykahn Promise” encompasses the full flavor that Erykah Badu has to offer this time around. Without much singing from Badu, the song brings us a 1970s funk vibe, complete with wailing police sirens and an announcer’s voice promising “more action, more excitement, more everything.” Just as the music dies down, we h...

--- - |- Erykah Badu is back and better than ever. I missed her big afro and funky voice. Her album oozes soul, beautiful rifts, societal protest and marijuana (mm). I would best describe her new album as lauryn hill meets radiohead. Besides a jazzy, hip hop, sultry vibe this album still screams Badu circa 1990s, which is a always good. I recommend sitting (high or not) and listening... you ...

So after all the live fun with watching Erykah in concert, we had meet & greet passes to see her up close & personal. We had to wait a bit but it was oh so worth it. As the general manager of the facility guided us down into the depths underneath The Warfield's concert hall we were ushered into a long narrow room. Erykah was just informing everyone there that she was in the process of filming a...

Well it finally happened. I got to meet the woman of my adoration! It was quite the experience too. But first, the preshow deets. We(Annieander, her friend Sherri & I) arrived early to make sure the tix/passes were at will call. They were not, so fortunately I had Paul's number and I called him and he made things happen. So thanks to him we got in but it wouldn't have happened w/o his phone nu...
