today's at-work listening:
filtered; the best of filtered dance, mixed by robbie rivera. one of my top 10 albums from 2001, a sparkling collection of filtered-disco anthems, including stardust, spiller, mousse t, and pete heller. creamy house-y goodness.
45 rpm: the singles of the the, the the. see this entry from my first day of blog.
divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood, soundtrack. not quite on par with o brother, where art thou, but still a nice job by t-bone burnett, trying to do for cajun music what o brother did for americana. the best stuff is un-cajun, the new tracks from l-boogie, dylan, and alison krauss.
experience: jill scott 826+, jill scott. when an artist's second record is a live album, it's generally cause for worry. not here. 826+ expands and improves upon who is jill scott? in much the same way that badu's live album did; scott's band fatback taffy pulls and sweetens the originals like so much sticky candy. the "+" is for the second disc of the set, 10 new compositions which are pert near up to the standard of her debut. "gotta get up," featuring 4hero, and the hidden track (an "illegal mix" of "he loves me") are marvelous. believe gilles peterson when he tells you how amazing her talent is - and she's just getting started.
