I left facebook today and it was really liberating. I left because:

• It wasted a lot of my time – I excel at procrastinating.
• I got bored of being poked online and bought virtual drinks.
• I wrongly thought it would serve as a professional tool.
• I only seemed to use it for promoting and I can do that on my personal web space/twitter.

Has anyone heard the new Erykah Badu album? New Amerykah, Pt. One (4th World War)? Glossy Madlib production and quasi socio political lyrics about the struggle for African-Americans. As a drum and bass head back at uni I like how it’s beat heavy and has fat, head nodding bass lines. The album is not as a mind blowing as Baduizm and Mama’s Gun but its good to have her back. Favourite tracks are the hypnotic “My people” and “Master Teacher”.
