iTunes Decoded: Track 16


Alright. So a while back, we'll say 2009-ish, my desktop crashed. I ended up getting a new laptop, but at the time, I was not technical disaster ready, so I never backed up my hard drive. That's right, all my pictures, documents, and music were just lost. Through a YouTube tutorial, I discovered that I did have back up for my music in the form of my iPod.

I followed the step-by-step directions, and voila! I was able to recover all 10,000 plus of my songs and put them on my laptop. One hiccup, 25% of the tracks lost all their descriptive info (title, artist, album, etc.). They were either re-named a track number (ex: track 12) or a non-descriptive 4 letter code (ex: BVTH). Nonetheless, I was happy to have my music back, so I dealt with the missing info. In other words, I was too lazy to manually enter in all the info myself. 25% of 10,000 is a lot of damn songs.

So here I am 5 years later and I have finally grown tired of playing the guessing game. I haven't been able to find Erykah Badu's I Want You in forever, and that's one of my all-time jams. I will now update all of my unknown track info, one track at a time and document it for your reading pleasure. This is the first installment.

Daily Throwback: Erykah Badu - Bag Lady


The Shuffle God seems to subliminally still be on his New Year's kick with this classic from Mrs. 3000, Mrs. Sense, Mrs. Electronica, Mrs. Badu. Leave that 2013 baggage behind, and create new 2014 fresh baggage. Just playing...you're welcome.

New Music: Janelle Monae ft. Erykah Badu - Q.U.E.E.N.


Damn.  Wow.  The title says it all. I don't think these two paid attention to Beyonce with her Bow Down sentiments.  Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu on the same track, if that doesn't draw you in, I don't know what will.  From the first chord, this song just exudes power.  You can keep your Bieber and will.i.am mash-ups, the game definitely needs more creative collaborations like this.  You're welcome.
