Music I wish I'd heard about sooner # 1 Janelle Monáe

This is the first in a series of musical pieces that will highlight music we think is cool and somehow have not caught onto yet. We will let you know how we heard it and why we think it's cool. We hope this leads to some new cuts in everyone's collections. If you have an idea about someone we should listen to, please email us at wellthatscool(at)gmail(dot)com. With that being said, our first installment is Janelle Monáe. We learned about Janelle via our twitter feed from one of our favorite blogs, EDSBS.COM( Ed. note. this is one of the funniest football blogs ever. Any time you can make a project runway joke and tie it in with SEC football you're a stone cold badass). EDSBS's twitter feed had this to say, "This is last week, but if you didn't see it, Janelle Monae's Letterman performance was pure fucking fire" and posted a link to this video:

If that's not the funkiest thing that has come across our desk since this, then we don't know what is.She sounds like James Brown and Andre' 3000 spliced genes and created some sort of super space funk baby hell bent on out dancing any person on the planet. This is just once again proof that when you turn 30 evrything passes you by. Don't say I did'nt warn you kids.
