At the Toubab Krewe show last night I had my vintage Jive Records promo EXTRA PROLIFIC shirt with the Heiro logo on the back, and a woman next to me kept glancing over with a furrowed brow.. then after a few more looks she cracked up and came over to explain "You really had us scared for a minute! We were thinking your shirt said EXTRA PRO-LIFE"
The show was great fun, that is except for whoever was DJing before the show started.. nothing warms up a crowd for some West African Funk Rock better than a set of club bangers like Cher's "I Got You Babe" and Rod Stewart "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," I always say. I'm thinking this was the same DJ behind the World's Sh*ttiest Mixtape Boombox Blast.
(Not to be confused with DJ Equal, whose midshow set was impeccable.)

I never paid much attention to Fiona apple until recently, but I'm discovering I like her, a lot. I prefer the Elizondo versions, for the record.
