Random Picture Entry: Erykah Badu
According to my Netflix queue, I've had Dave Chappelle's Block Party at home for 29 days now. That's mostly so I can turn on the "Jesus Walks" marching band scene whenever I want to get insanely excited about life, but I've also rewatched Erykah Badu's performance a whole bunch of times. For some reason I missed the Erykah Badu boat when it first sailed into town, probably because my college-attending self was far more preoccupied with stuff like pretending to love Girls Against Boys. But Block Party's sold me hard on Erykah Badu, and I'm not ashamed to admit I was first reeled in by how staggeringly great she looks in the movie. She's got that huge-ass wig and mustard-and-gold-ish plaid blazer, both ripped off fast so she's left with some really hot distressed jeans, a sleeveless black tee with CORONER written in big block letters across the chest, and a pair of crazy white fingerless gloves going halfway up her forearms. And then she stage-dives and crowd-surfs! Oh my god! It's a dirty shame you can't watch her scenes - or the aforementioned Kanye bit - anywhere online, but that's just all the more incentive to go out and get your hands on Block Party RIGHT NOW if you haven't seen it already.
And I just bought Erykah's latest record (New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)) from Amazon's mp3 store and so far it's purrrfect - here's a few blogs where you can download mp3s:
+ "Me" at Sixeyes
+ "The Healer" & "Soldier" at Passion of the Weiss
+ "Twinkle" at Fluxblog
+ "The Cell" at indiemuse.com

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
She is BEAUTIFUL. And ridiculously talented.
