The Greatest

i know this is a little late, but this cat power article in the ny times is pretty interesting. it basically describes her path from sobriety to making her best album to date. the first time i heard the greatest, i remember it was different than her previous albums. not as moody or melancholic, but not necessarily entirely bright or optimistic either. i thought the progression was natural and a relief frankly. for a person with such great hair and bangs, this was a far cry from her notorious stage fits and temperamental sets.

by the way, is the new tv on the radio album, not amazing?
yeah, thats what i thought. what's even better? the remix of "hours" by el p.
i got the chance to see them live in prospect park, brooklyn this summer. that was pretty great, aside from the broken glass bottle that i was sitting next to.

im also patiently awaiting el p's new album. i think hes a great mc and producer, but if i had to pick where his talents truely lie, it would definately be as a producer. he has a blog up, if you're interested. complete with mustache theory, cigarettes and well, stuff.
