A sista has had a hell of a week.
The 9-5 had a sista getting my Kizzy Kinte on. We’re launching a major, highly publicized campaign so the pressure is on. Still I swear – if it wasn’t for the free top-notch healthcare, weekly paycheck and other excellent benefits, they would have received the side eye of the week week week!
A couple of people in my life are cutting a plum fool. I had to fire one of them, but they won’t take the hint. How many ways can you say – in these exact words- “Remove my number from your phone. I don’t ever ever ever want to hear from your black ass again in this life or the next?” The whole situation would actually be humorous if I were watching it happen to someone else.
So after a week like this, there are only really three things that can make me feel better. Me and a friend indulged in several potent peach martinis at happy hour on Friday. *check* Since we keep it PG-13 (for the most part) on this blog, I’ll just talk about the third thing.
I hit the spot again and did some damage, but not as much as last time. Lately, I’ve been focused on restocking the crates. Over the years, most of my older albums have been lost or stolen. As I’ve been adding to my top songs list, I’ve been reminded of a ton of music I need to own again – particularly a lot of 90s music.
Even though all but one of these albums was under $10, I’ll still be eating PBJ and Ramen Noodles all next week for real.
So worth it!
Have you added any new or new-old music to your collection lately?
SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE 
i’ve personally added alot of al green and erro to my collection. that black spade lp is getting regular rotation and that algebra lp is helping me through shit. music, like you, is my therapy and safe-haven.

@ Joshua – You can’t go wrong with adding those two. I have every Erro album – some of them are signed. I love him! I can’t wait to listen to Purpose and see how it speaks to me. Thx for stopping by an commenting.
Hold up! Did you go to CD Depot? Cause I came home with those same two Heavies joints from there last Sunday and picked up the Syleena but put it back. We are truly kindred music spirits. My girl!
@ Butta – You know it! And yes we are! We TRULY have to have that “listening party”
I’m about to ACK A FOOL on Surrday
As if I don’t already have:
– 2 full old school green milk crates of records that have never come out of their jackets or touched a turntable in my home.
– a 2 foot high pile of cd’s I haven’t listened to yet.
– 17 GB of mp3’s I haven’t listened to yet.
CDepot is da debil.
DustyGroove is my pusherman.
And now that Amazon got those DRM-free mp3’s? It’s just a DanceTracksDigital, Traxsource, Amazon round robin of excess.
What am I banging now? The new Reel People joint. Non-stop. End to end sweetness. DJ Sake One’s Fania joint. And a gang of promos from WMC.
@stylus – *drooling at the thought of what is probably in them crates* You missed my first post where I acked a plum fool on Dusty Groove. They got some hotness over there. I got both of Amp’s albums via those Amazon MP3. I had to stop myself. I gotta check out what you’re listening to. I know it’s the hotness. Thanks for coming through.
Can’t believe I forgot Erik Rico‘s joint. Last.fm tells the tale.
I’ve been buying from Dusty Groove for so many years. I’m trying to get out to Chicago to experience the store in person. It’ll probably be like when I spent 6 hours in Amoeba and was pretty much catatonic afterwards.
