Cool Like Dat

(Disclaimer: The following post is not a huge homage to music site "Gorilla versus Bear" since I do not go to the site very often... it is more sort of an odd obligation).


Hello,
I feel obligated to do this post out of a mysterious love for Digable Planets. Way back when, "Cool Like Dat," was, ahem, played...over and over on a cassette tape by me in my room.
There was a large concert two weekends ago in Dallas, at the Granada Theatre, called the "Gorilla vs Bear festival." Some of the bands on the ticket were: White Denim, Shabazz Palaces, and Preteen Zenith (with a dude from Polyphonic Spree and Tripping Daisy). I am sorry for the tardiness of this post.

You cannot go to the concert, but you may still download the songs if you like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So back to: what the heck happened to Digable Planets??
Shabazz Palaces features a dude named Ishmael Butler, of Digable Planets. The site pitchfork.com calls Shabazz Palaces an "enigmatic Seattle avant-rap project." Whatever that is supposed to mean. (I do not know what happened to the girl with the cool voice from Digable Planets, so don't ask me). Here is ishmael.
as you can see he's STILL Cool Like Dat.

Yours in digable planets land,

Alice
