First of all, I'm new to the list so hello everybody.
A minute ago I was doing a search on Google for Digable Planets, my interest
in the group having been rekindled after finding a copy of the Where I'm
From Maxi CD Single on Ebay. Anyways, a lot of the links the search gave me
were from this mailing list's archives, so it looks like a number of the
people on this list are interested in the DP and their whereabouts.
I found something interesting on this page:
http://www.mtv.com/news/gallery/d/digable.html that says Ish and Mecca are
working on new albums. Now I've heard _nothing_ of this before, and I've had
a habit of searching for DP news every once in a while to see if anything
was happening (and as some of you may know, the Digable Planets seem to be
one of the only things that you can _never_ find decent info about on the
web, and nothing _ever_ seems to be happening with the former members)
So can anybody add anything to/corraborate what these articles say? I was so
surprised/excited I didn't know what to think. I've been hoping for _years_
that they'd turn up again, whenever I listen to their music I get depressed
thinking about the fact that there won't be anymore.
According to the articles they were both supposed to have their albums out
by Summer 1999, and AFAIK they aren't. I'm always a little behind in music
and popular culture, but I can't imagine missing anything from a former DP.
If anybody has _anything_ to add, I'm all ears.
