No, I have nothing clever to say, just two things:
The first being - This summer, The Brand New Heavies are back with a new album, called Get Used to It. Go and check it out - it's worth it. It's been a long time, and N'Dea Davenport is back in the mix after several years away - which is just a wonderful thing. Now, while we love Carleen Anderson (come on, sing along, 'Apparently Nothing, nothing apparently...' hmmm, is the GB officially Old Skool now?? Guess so...), and yes - their stint with Siedah Garrett on 1997's Shelter was pretty darned good too, things just seem a little better with The Heavies and N'Dea.
In other news, Spike Lee's latest documentary, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts premiered on HBO in the US tonight. It was powerful and sobering. If you can watch it, do. And you should check out the documentary film by Royce Osborn (he is also a New Orleans Native and Katrina survivor) called All on a Mardi Gras Day. The GB will be heading to New Orleans on Friday, August 25 for a few days. Look out for some reports from the area - as well and an interview with Royce Osborn on the September edition of My Lens.
