June 04, 2002
the day we've all been waiting for...(and yes, i ended that in a preposition on purpose...) after months and months of excruciating anticipation, cookie: the anthropological mixtape has finally dropped! i received my 2 pre-ordered copies from amazon.com today, and am checking out the bonus material now...available only to folks who actually purchase the cd (vs. getting a burned copy from their friends...what a great way to get people to buy the cd!). i've already heard the whole cd, but i'm still excited to actually have a real, live, commercial copy in my hot little hands. i don't know...maybe it's the hope that, this time around, meshell will actually get the props she's been earning since '93. it seems that the folks at maverick really have stepped up their promotional efforts, with a hot remix and video of "pocketbook" (check them out at matthew's site)...and i know i've been working hard on my own. sherri and i hit the streets of the short north on saturday, putting up posters, leaving posters and sampler cds with a coupla record stores, a gay bookstore, bars, art galleries, and other such establishments (and of course, sherri was using the cds to flirt with cute women *lol*)...and then i hit main campus yesterday, doing the same thing. my dogs are barkin', but i feel like i've done a little something to support the cause.
as incredibly corny as it sounds, meshell and her music have had a major impact on my life over the years...in ways i can't even fully articulate. i see things i didn't used to see...think about things i didn't used to think about, because i didn't have to. of course, it's also helped that i've spent most of the last 8 years living with people (first, my ex...now, my boobala) who have taught me the same kinds of things. *grin* but ms. bashir shakur has played a part in my growth, as well.
but even if you don't care about all'a that...BUY THE CD ANYWAY (not that most people reading this haven't already!). if you don't like it, e-mail me...and i'll buy it from you. *grin*
