(I think?) at the Temple Bar. Meshell fans are gonna freak. This new stuff is amazing.    
Yup, we were the first audience for the new material. The songs were slammin then and they are slammin still. Article 3, but fleshed out. This is a tight ass album and I'm glad she aint doin average shit. This is stellar and I will have my nice beautiful copy when it comes out later this month  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

But I really disliked "Comfort Woman" because the songs all sounded like extended leftovers from songs released on some of her earlier albums but were just too long to make on to the cd's in full form. I own both of those albums. I thought Infidel was worth the POA for "Heaven," but everyone's mmv. Comfort Woman was a nice, bedtime album for me. All the "Love Song[s]" were quality. | |

My friend surprised me by hooking me up with a ticket to her show later this month @ Hiro. This will be my third time seeing her since the Hot Night tour @ St. Andrews Hall in Detroit wayyy back in Fall 2002.
Looking forward to this and the studio LP. | |

This one's already pre-ordered 
& I find Comfort Woman to be her most enjoyable album - not her best (that belongs to Bitter), but track for track it just makes me feel good when I hear it. Just relaxing enough yet still manages to get me hyped on some. Love the shit outta that album, she just doesn't miss imo...    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I listen to "Come Smoke My Herb," "Fellowship" and "Andromeda & the Milky Way" probably every day, as they're both on my ipod "zen" playlist. I love the fact the she was inspired by Carl Sagan's Comos for Comfort Woman. Hey Dickie boy? Do you know who she' referring to on "Epellitic" when she sings "I received a message from god, in the form of a rainbow. Instructions from Captain Gerrard." Does anyone know the reference? If that is infact what she's singing.

I'm a fan of BSG and I cannot recall anyone name Gerard. I'm losing it. Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of comic short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity - he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, accomplished horseman and gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady. Conan Doyle, in making his hero a vain, and often rather uncomprehending Frenchman, was able to satirise both the stereotypical English view of the French, and - by presenting them from Gerard's baffled point of view - English manners and attitudes. You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

I'm totally impressed in your fanhood of her! I dimissed the edited version on Article 3 but the extended version is like something out of "Bitches Brew" from Miles Davis. The trumpet (I think that's the horn that's playing) is amazing.

LOL. I never thought about it that way before, but you're right. Comfort Woman does make me feel like I should be totally stoned in order to get into it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll play it first and tell you what it is later. -Miles Davis- | |

I love the marketing pitch to splurge on the ltd. edition. "It's been done before, so..."
I dig M, but I passed on the $41 Infidel pre-order, too. | |
