Many Ripertons To Cross
Minnie Riperton - Perfect Angel (1974)
I first heard Minnie Riperton when the Orb used a sample of "Lovin' You" on that track from their first album. Her voice sounds really disembodied on that track, and I had no previous knowledge of "Lovin' You", so those piercing notes might just as well have been field recordings of some strange bird. Fast forward a few years and my friend told me I should hear some Rotary Connection records (as should everybody). I'll have to save that post for another day, but Minnie's voice on those Rotary Connection just kills - alongside the band's own Sly Stone-style funk, folk and some strange Zappa-style abstractions. At any rate, this track from Perfect Angel is pretty nice - a steel-string, country-folk slow-burner (with Sneaky Pete on the steel) where Minnie doesn't really go overboard, she just relaxes and shows everyone just what a serious talent she was. The whole record is pretty much top drawer, Stevie Wonder is all over it and it goes well with other records of the folk-funk variety by Syreeta and Linda Lewis.
It's So Nice

Dude, I just took some mini rippertons last night!
Make sure you hear her cover of Barnes' "Magical World." She kills it (in a good way).
As you are likely already aware, the internets exploded yesterday with what is apparently leaked details from the friends and family alpha of Wrath of the Lich King.wholesalechina wholesalediscountMP3 playerMP4 playermp4 watchesmp5psp accessoriesArguably the biggest part of this news was that we apparently have access to very early versions of the new talent trees for several of the existing classes. Being the responsible, conscientious Mage columnist that I am,I immediately pored over the Mage talent trees, devouring this very premature, more than likely never-to-see-the-light-of-day info like a starving man would tear into a steak.Of course,wedding dresseswedding dresswholesale digital cameraswholesale clothingwholesale furnitureMemory CardMemory Stickwholesale atvwholesale jewelrywholesale handbagsas we all know by now, information coming out this early is almost guaranteed to differ radically from what actually makes it live. Still, it serves a purpose.

You can find those on the WotLK information Wiki, so click away. When you're done, come on back and join me after the jump,where I'll give my take on what the expansion appears to have in store for Mages.
