I love Lauryn Hill

Brooklyn Vegan posted this video of her interview, you can hear that she's having some trouble with her voice. Call me a dogmatist, I'm still convinced Lauryn Hill is still one of hip-hop's most thoughtful voices out there today, concerned with the importance money has taken in music she says was once a "voice for the voiceless." She says in the interview that she's about to record another solo album, I can't wait to hear it. Though the severe lack of a Fugees reunion does make me sad.

Lauryn Hill - I Get Out

Labels:

Scary People doing Scary Things

John Edwards: Just when you were starting to think the $400 haircut had blown over, the $1,250 haircut came to knock you over from behind. Forget YouTube, you're screwed.

Speaking of hair - forget the bad hair, Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) has gone nuts.

Mitt Romney and his micro-managing pollster scare me. If he wins the Republican nomination I'm donating as much money as I can to some 527 group that'll run a great negative ad campaign against him. Remember "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"? I dream of the day that you, Mitt "flip-flopper" Romney, will be as irrelevant as John Kerry.

Al Gore's not going to run for President and here's why.

What? Lauryn Hill, your comeback isn't going to be the best thing that ever happened to R&B?!?! NOOOOOOO... I don't think I can handle this...

Dangerdoom - Perfect Hair
The White Stripes - Effect and Cause (download or die)

Saturday is overrated

I'm kidding. However, I do have one admission, which is that lately my obsession with politics has been skewing my writing about music (this is what happens when you don't have co-bloggers, if you're interested send me an e-mail - I'm serious). Needless to say, I'm attempting to correct this.

News-wise: We have the Easy Tiger tracklist! (Source)

Now, some of you folks out there may think Ryan Adams is a bit pretentious, but you can't deny that as far as songwriters go, he's got an astounding work ethic. The album will be released on June 26th.
Ryan Adams - Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. (live)

After some time off from recording, serious touring, it likes like Lauryn Hill is getting back on track with some UK tour dates...maybe this means a new Fugees album? In the meantime, if you love The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, there's some potential that you might love her MTV Unplugged Recordings, which I'm a huge fan of.
Lauryn Hill - Adam Lives In Theory
Buy the album, seriously.

Meanwhile, Shameless Complacency has a nice collection of White Stripes b-sides posted.

BONUS: Voxtrot - Stephen
