Good morning world o' bloggers. I'm just chillaxin w/ my cup of vanilla cream tea (I'm trying to give up coffee and reap the benefits of the high amounts of anti-oxidants that tea has). So, about last night. Silk & I bought tix to see Maceo Parker (the great sax player from the JB's/James Brown/Parliament/RHCP/the list can go on for miles). We had to talk Salexis into going to the show, she was thinking of spending the evening w/ Mama Carol watching The Incredibles, but I have a feeling she had a good time.
Nobody can stand still at a funk show, including the interpretive dancer that took it upon herself to get on stage and jam. Her first act was good, but when Maceo decided to do a slow Ray Charles classic, it was a bit too much for the crowd as well as the band. She was pretty drunk and crashed into Salexis & Silk a few times throughout the show. At the end of the show she approached Silk and said, "I'm a hotter lesbian than you are." Finally, someone else is the lesbian, and not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, she was so not hotter than Silk, I think her PBR gut did her in.
There was a very cute man jamming out the entire show, and I took it upon myself to strike up conversation with him towards the end of the show. Who would've known that him and his friend (more on that in a minute) would join us & Piddy at the Angle for some drinks and conversation. Totally cool hippie dude that, of course, lives in Columbus. But it was fun nonetheless, and have no fear, I got his digits and he got mine. His friend was one of those people that liked to talk just to hear himself talk, and poor Salexis was playing wing man for me. She just sat there nodding and occasionally saying "uh huh, okay, yeah" to make him feel like she was listening. We were trying to say goodbye and he just started rambling to me about I don't even know what, when Salexis abruptly stood up and cut him off.
So, that was our evening, and the start of my vacation. On with the R-10:
1. The Way You Move - Big Boi from Speakerboxxx. A great hip-hop album often overlooked by Andre's success on his part of the album.
2. Children Play With Earth - Arrested Development from 3 Years, 5 Months, & 2 Days In The Life Of. I dig this song and this group, great political messages throughout.
3. Breakfast At Volo's - Deep Banana Blackout from Rowdy Duty (Disc 1). My sis hipped me to this East Coast jam band, and let me tell you, they are funky.
4. Track 04 - Mark Farina from Mushroom Jazz 4. Classic chill track from the great DJ Mark Farina.
5. Rock Me Baby - Etta James from Platinum Services. Killer blues track that several artists have done.
6. Work It - Missy Elliot from Under Construction. Love me some Missy Misdemeanor.
7. More Peas - Fred Wesley & The JB's from Funky Good Time Anthology (Disc 1). Funk Yeah! This is where Maceo got his start and he gets a funky solo on this track.
8. Champion Requiem - Mos Def from The New Danger. This is my favorite track off this album, and you all know I love me some Mos Def.
9. Too Funky In Here - James Brown from a mixed funk disc I picked up along the way. I gotta dance to this, I'll be back.
10. Parasite - G. Love & Special Sauce from Electric Mile. A great track regarding all the SHIT the politicians feed us, fucking parasites.
That's it for now, I'm gonna enjoy my bowl of oatmeal.

Shiiittt! Christy I deleted your voicemail by accident while I was watching the Indians lose hardcore last night. What did you say?
And furthermore, I think you might owe Salexis a drink for playing wingman. That shit be hard to take.
