"I dream I move, I dream I groove, like Mike..."
Eureka!
There's this song on an Esperanza Spalding EPK I heard in early 2009...but it had no name. Let me describe it to you. It's jazzy. Jumps all around the scale. Reminds me of the visual of an ency weency spider, climbing up...you know. Short quick staccato pricks on the bass serve as an entry way to a flute like vocal. Soon, with the vocal flute, lower curt bass registers on the scale. Then....
Wait. That's it? And there's no name? What song was that? Let me look online... *searching every Esperanza Spalding song on her website, Youtube, MySpace, and second CD.* Nothing.
August 2010... Oh, she's coming out with a new album! Let me check the new EPK video (^).
@7:42...
Wait. I've heard that song before. Let me compare with her old EPK. *Checks, hears the same flute like vocal riffs....*
That's it!
The song is called "Really Very Small." It was nameless on Esperanza's first EPK in 2008. Now it's on her album with the Chamber Music Society, called Chamber Music Society, featuring Gil Goldstein (arranger), Gretchen Parlato (vocals), and Terri Lyne Carrington (drummer) to name a few. It comes out this Tuesday.
Sleep easy.
Shhhhh.....
If you suck something up, it will either unpleasantly go all the way down that end*, or come back up and spew all over the floor.

Go Ahead Mr. Wendal
Is Arrested Development back? Truth be told, they never actually went anywhere. For the last 18 years, Speech and his crew have been making everyone relive 1992's 3 Years, 5 Months, and 2 Days In The Life of.... While touring the world, they've picked up a few new members as well. Their primary members right now include Speech and 1 Love as the spoken artists, Eshe as the dancer, and Tasha as the vocalist. They have stamped their long road with a new album, called Strong, released this past April. Latter July, they performed at B.B. Kings in NYC. The video below shows that they've still got it.
"Mr. Wendal" is below. Speech sounds exactly the same as the original recording. 18 years...gotta love it. --GB

Arrested Development, "Mr. Wendal"
Complete k-os! UPDATE
Have fun with this one. k-os' latest mixtape, The Anchorman Mixtape; man always brings the heat. Girl Blue will be listening along with the entire world right now, probably with the same elements of suspense, awe, and zest that Girl Blue has had for every k-os release since "Superstarr Pt. Zero."
Thank you, goodnight, and God speed...
When I was a kid....
...I never could color inside the lines. I really tried to color inside the lines because I wanted the picture to be perfect. I just don't know how my kindergarten teacher did it. She was a beast with her coloring. I mean, I could only get it close to perfect. I'm not sure why I could never get it 100%, but maybe it's because I just didn't fit in those lines.--GB
This blog is about unique artists from all over the world who color outside the lines with their work. So when I profile one, I will call it, "The OTLC (The Out The Lines Crew)." If I feel so I will assign them a color :). Look for the first one in just a little while.

...do you ever think about me?
Diggy was up for MTV News' "Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010;" he was one of the top five finalists, but the trophy ended up in the hands of Wiz Khalifa.
Dag, wasn't Diggy's voice at a juvenile high before this mixtape? Everybody grows up, but being surprised at voice changes never gets old...
