black music

I've spent the morning scoring and looking for music on amazon that's not white people singing. I was investigating Madlib and enjoyed some but was not entirely sold. I'm missing a world of context.... I drifted through some other hiphop very creative, surprising, something else but not something I feel I could hear a lot of.

And then fell into Arcade Fire who I had heard of but not heard, and The Decemberists, and that famous Sufjan Stevens--sounds lovely. So I broke down and returned to the white side. But my dear reader, I request you point me to some black or brown voices. I loved Diggable Planets' Reachin' as a teenager but didn't like Blowout Comb as much. I still have that and perhaps should give it an adult listen.

Kitty's whiney and cranky. So am I. It's supposed to hit 107 on Thursday!!! I'm hungry and ate all the fruit in the house yesterday. I think I eat comparatively a lot of fruit. We need to go to the store. I grubbed half a cucumber for half my breakfast. Deperate times call for desperate measures....
