SHE'S BACK!

After 7 years, ESTHERO is reminding us how cool "POP" COULD be...

Esthero is coming to town! I swear to god, I don't understand how mainstream music misses someone as talented as Esthero. I mean, this is as POP as you get, so I don't know how someone like this gets overlooked, except that her only crime is,.. ummm, she is actually talented and can sing?

I alway seem to gravitate toward these artists who end up being the primary influence and inspiration for all of the mainstream stuff, but these root inspirations are just not as marketable, I guess. Cocteau Twins, MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE BAND EVER, for instance, was voted as the most influential band of the decade in late 90's. And who's heard of them?

Well, you may not have heard these artists I love so much, but you sure hear their inspirations and influences.

If you get a chance, take a leap over the TRUEGROOVE LOUNGE and scroll through the playlist, find ESTHERO and enjoy the nice sampling I've added to my radio stream. Play WIKKED LIL GRRRLS . It is SO FUN! And, as I've said recently, I am totally on this political music kick, so you might also enjoy the song, WE R IN NEED OF A MUSICAL REVOLUTION .

I mean, this will probably NEVER make it to the airwaves!

Here are the lyrics:

We R in Need of a Musical Revolution!

I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio
and MTV, they only play the same thing
no matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want something more

We are in need of a musical ReVoLuTioN!
We are in need of....

How can you make your way through the world today
when everybody is so angry?
And what we HEAR affects our HEARTS...
there's got to be a better way to communicate
so show your LOVE not hate

We are in need of a musical ReVoLuTioN!
(we're so tired of the same old)
We are in need of some spiritual evolution
(we're so tired of the same old, same old)
We are in need of love
We are in need of love

I'm calling, calling, I'm calling out
calling you
Doesn't anybody wanna do something new?
I'm calling all creators in the movement
It's time to offer a solution to the dilution of what we love
And the greats would be so disappointed
'Cause we've sold our souls for what we don't own anymore...

We are in need of LOVE
Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN!
(we're so tired of the same old)
We are in need of some lyrical evolution
(we're so tired of the same old, same old)

I'm so sick and tired of the SHIT on the radio
and MTV they only play the same thing
No matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want something
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the shit on the radio
and MTV they only play the same thing
no matter where I go
I see Britney on my video screen
I WANT SOMETHING MORE

Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN!
I want something more
Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN

Tell me why....
A grown man can RAPE a little girl
but we STILL hear his SHIT on the radio
A grown-ass man can videotape a little girl
but we still see his mug up on our video screens?

I want something more......
I want... something

AMEN, SISSTA FREN!
