• Erykah Badu's Out of the Black Forest, But the Theater's Owners Swear a Rebirth by Summer

  When I spoke to Erykah Badu in February 2008, shortly before the release of New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), she strongly suggested all was not well with the Black Forest Theater, from which Badu had hoped to save the soul of her native South Dallas. "Financially, it's a burden," she said. "It's hard. It is. I need the community's support as much as I can, and they do, but it's a big job to take on without having the correct kind of sponsorship and backing."Certainly, she held up her end o

• Tweet ... Push ... Tweet ... Push: Erkyah Badu Delivers Quite the Birth Announcement

  At last, someone's figured out how to properly use Twitter: by providing a push-by-push account of a baby's birth. And, how fortunate for us, that special someone's a high-profile local -- none other than Erykah Badu, who yesterday welcomed her third child, a daughter, at 1:30 p.m. on the dot. Publicist Paul Levatino sends Unfair Park the tweet-by-tweet transcript from Badu and boyfriend Jay Electronica, the baby's father; among the highlights, "My daughter is ready. Labor has begun.

  I just received the following e-mail from Erykah Badu's main marketing man Paul Levatino:Erykah announced on her twitter that the baby's name is MARS MERKABA.Oh, right -- her Twitter. And by "merkaba," I assume Erykah means the Hebrew word for "throne-chariot of God." Speaking of, anyone ever read the book or see the movie? I did, like, once, in college I think. Saw it during my bong mitzvah. Blew. My. Mind. Grapes. But I digress: Mazel tov to Erykah and new pops Jay Electronica, who I see just

• Developing: Either Some Austinites Or Some Malaysians Are Going To Be Very Disappointed

  DC9 at Night contributor Jeff Liles passed along this interesting note: Erykah Badu is scheduled to perform in Malaysia tonight--Saturday, March 21--opening up for Korn alongside N.E.R.D. Or so Dallas native and Korn keyboardist Zac Baird (formerly of Billygoat, Edie Brickell and Liles' own Cottonmouth, Texas) claims--while passing along the above visual evidence from the venue's marquis. Trick is, she's also supposed to be in Austin tonight, performing alongside the Cannabinoids at

• On Saturday Night, Erykah Badu's SXSW Show Was Delayed in Dallas By an "Obsessed Fan"

  Saturday morning, from the South by Southwest shindig down in Austin, Pete wondered over on DC9 whether Erykah Badu would be playing Auditorium Shores, as expected, or Malaysia, as pictured. Turns out, she was heading to Austin after all -- but only after being delayed in Dallas, where police were detaining a stalker in front of her house. Badu's isn't exactly the most tucked-away home in town, which is how a "white woman mid to late 20's," as Badu described her on her Twitter account, found the

  Waco rapper/producer Symbolyc One of Strange Fruit Project is one of Texas's most under-appreciated hip-hop talents, flying largely under the radar despite working with Erykah Badu, Little Brother and others. Seems he's kinda embracing his place in life right now, though: Yesterday, S1 released a new mixtape, fittingly called Still Underrated, Vol. 1, and it features a some impressive remixes on familiar tracks (Beyonce's "Single Ladies," for instance, gets more of a breakbeat feel) and new trac
