Bitches by Nicholas Payton is finally available for pre-order on wax. It’s been out for a while on mp3, but who wants that?
Anyway, a few weeks ago, I scared the hell out of this white lady at the record store when I asked about Bitches. She thought I meant something else, and acted like I was propositioning her. I had to take a deep breath and explain that I was asking her if she knew when the album Bitches by trumpeter Nicholas Payton was coming out, and that I was not in fact asking her for bitches. I was wearing a hoodie, so lesson learned. If you’re a black man with a shaved head wearing a hoodie, make sure you explain yourself properly, lest it be assumed you’re perving at the record store. Besides, are dudes asking for “bitches” at record stores these days?
