Back From Mini-Break (With Some Quick Music)

So I've been gone for a while after mostly keeping up with my "post every weekday" pledge, due to a combination of being busy, being lazy, and being slightly ill.

I hope to do some more in-depth stuff later, but for now I'll just post a link to this performance from Janelle Monae that blew me away. It's really just phenomenal, with a winning homage to James Brown thrown in for good measure. I have very little grounding in this type of music, as it usually is not my thing, but I think I will check out her new album ArchAndroid. It has a sci-fi concept, is getting great reviews, and is being compared favorably to Andre 3000's half of Outkast's Speakerboxx/Love Below album, which I loved.
