GREAT SOUL MUSIC MIGHT BE BACK…

THAT’S RIGHT. Q-Tip just dropped that very key info off via Twitter about the new D’Angelo happenings in TOKYO of all places. Honestly I wasn’t suprised. I’m just glad that we have confirmation from an active artist that D is back on the grind fully. If you remember about a year ago ?uestlove leaked the Really Love joint (shouts to AHotMess for the link), so let’s hope the man’s been in the studio trying to 1-up Voodoo (which is a multi-year task, I’m sure.) We’ll keep you tuned in…i$n’t technology great?

Blind I Tech Drop +2!!!

What up Blind I? I know I promised a post plus some extras a while ago (anyone care? No? OK then…) so here it is.

With only two days before the iPhone launch, lots of news about what the thing can and can’t do. I was kind of bummed about the lack of video recording, no Flash support for the browser, and no mp3 ring tones. What am I paying $600 for again…?

The White Stripes came out with a special edition USB drive version of their album a few weeks ago. It’s great that artists are trying different things with the distribution of their music. But until a Special Edition of Voodoo comes out, it will be a cold day in tech-geek hell before I spend $57.00 for stuff that Blind I gives me for free.

Ken Kutaragi officially stepped down as CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment last week. That guy deserves soooo much credit from gamers everywhere. This guy created the PlayStation when Nintendo didn’t believe a CD based system would work. Read up on the guy, he’s a legend.

Quick Hits:

Attention everyone! Stop putting LEDs in everything!

Is this really camping?

Coming to an afwul Honda near you soon.

OK, now that you’re finished reading my nothing, here is the +2…

The funniest movie of all time, Anchorman. And one of the greatest documentaries about Hip Hop culture ever, Scratch. These movies are perfect for your mobile device of choice.

GUESS WHO’S FINALLY BACK!

Yeah I know right? D’Angelo!! Where the fuck has doode been? Aside from getting in a fatal car accident, getting fat & getting further and further away from the radar. The last time he was seen was @ Dillas’ memorial. Could this be the sign of a full length to come? Stay Tuned.

Good looks to the homie ?uestlove for hooking this one up!!

ENJOY!
