Mar. 3: Dave Chappelle's Block Party hits theaters. This is a documentary of Chappelle's secret party held in November of 2004, made by Michel Gondry and featuring the Roots, Erykah, Jill, Kanye, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, and the Fugees. This was the first time in eight years the Fugees had been together. If you know me then you know that's reason enough for me to be in line at the ticket booth, even if the film didn't feature seven other favorite artists of mine, plus Dave Chappelle, who's a funny guy.
Mar. 14: Soundtrack to above hits stores.
Sometime this year: The Fugees, who have just finished their European reunion tour and have been performing together for Verizon- and Grammys- and Superbowl-related shows, will put out a new album, a decade after The Score. Hopefully sooner than later.
Oh, and I guess I'm also excited about starting school again in September (assuming I get accepted somewhere) and the birth of my second child in June or something.
The Fugees!
ReplyDeleteActually, to tell the truth, the only Fugees song I've heard is their cover (is that the correct musical term?) of Killing Me Softly which one of my roommates one summer played endlessly and I have loved it ever since. I should listen to some of their other music sometime.
Michel Gondry huh? The movie sounds interesting at the very least.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, when link-searching for my Grammy post, I heard clips from a host of John Legend songs and I liked them very much.
You know, when I see other people's lists of things to be excited for, I always read them with this glimmer of hope that they'll give me things to be excited about, too.
ReplyDeleteNope.
Michel Gondry! He's in my top 3 fave directors!
