Singles? Album? Videos? I also haven't looked into anything that new.
One is called "Fix Up," and is pretty straight. The other I can't remember the name of, but it's a track off their upcoming album which is (apparently, seriously) a tribute to Aretha Franklin. Google is your friend, they're both great songs.
What I read was the Aretha Franklin project was more of a mixtape and the new LP will come after.
I'm with Kev-Bot on this one... I'm beginning to really like this lineup. Kurt Vile took a little while for me to get into, but Black Star was instant. Maybe my favorite rap duo since A Tribe Called Quest--certainly since WTT

This will be a fantastic set. When they played at Rock the Bells in NYC back in 07 they traded tracks from solo albums and of course off the Black Star release.
Questlove will somehow be involved in this set or they in the Roots set. They're too tight for that not to happen.

Have not seen that, but I could definitely see that happening. Galactic could be a surprise/silent addition like the year they backed Chali 2na or whatever. That would be pretty awesome actually.

Damnit I was so glad that I saw Black Star a few months back so that I could skip them at Roo without worrying but if Galactic is backing them I have to see that
Always bummed I missed Chali2na with Galactic back in 2008; their part on the '08 DVD is one of my favorites! So if they got together with Black Star...OMFG...

I'm super stoked to see these guys live. I listened to their album so much back in the day. Between these guys, dispatch and RHCP, this is a pure high school nostalgia Bonnaroo

I can't find a past set list... but I am hoping for something like this (off the top of my head):
Astronomy Brown Skin Lady Thieves in the Night Fix Up Yo Yeah Mathematics Oh No Umi Says Respiration B Boy will B Boys K.O.S Children's Story Beastie Boys Cover Ms. Fat Booty Get By The Blast Definition

When I saw them in the fall they did the Black Star album all the way through, plus 3-4 solo tracks from both Mos and Kweli. It was a great setlist. The only two solo tracks I remember them for sure doing was Mos doing 'Close Edge' and 'Auditorium', which was great because those are my 2 favorite tracks of his

Yup, it was the same for me when I saw them in the fall. Add Kweli's The Blast and Get By to the list. Pretty sure Mos did Twilight Speedball and Ms. Fat Booty too.
Also, I know it's been discussed before, but why only an hour for this show? Will they be joining ?uest for the Superjam and this was used as justification for only giving them an hour? Because they can easily hold down 90 minutes or more and they're pretty high up on the billing.

Yup actually now that you say that I remember Twilight Speedball and Ms. Fat Booty. 2 more great picks. I don't listen to much Kweli solo so I can't really comment on those. And I think they played for about 75 minutes when I saw them so an hour isn't too bad

Thanks for posting that video. Lots of Reflection Eternal in there! I hope we hear most of those... The Blast, Move Somethin, This Means You, Down For the Count...
