Yohimbe Sister

So this is really just a small aside: Latasha Nevada Diggs has a blog. I first had heard of LND with Yohimbe Bros (she is on both their Front End Lifter and The Tao of Yo! releases), and later picked up Open Rhythm Society by the Beat Kids (a Guillermo K. Brown joint or high quality) and even a brief spot on a Ryuichi Sakamoto album, Sweet Revenge.

I have seen her live with Yohimbe, and she is a wild ride indeed. Singing, slamming poetic, whooping, hollering, digitally-on-the-fly-processing and generally running a wide gamut of taking the voice from its most standard to abstracted into an experiement in disconnected sound. Her blog is not anything too off the beaten track, but it is a personal narative without being self-absorbed, so it makes for an interesting distraction from time to time.

Basically I just wanted an excuse to play up how cool I think she is.
