Last night I  attended the album release for Janelle Monae-The ArchAndroid at the Highland Ballroom-

Despite the nearly 90 minute wait in line-the high energy cinematic accompanied performance was worth it-

I used the Iphone app HIPSTAMATIC for these pics-an application that brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past.

It comes with the John S Lens, the Jimmy Lens, the Kaimal Mark II Lens, the Standard Flash, the Dreampop Flash, Ina’s 1969 Film, and Kodot Verichrome Film.

The ArchAndroid is an “Emotion Picture” brought to you by ground-breaking, genre-blurring singer, songwriter, producer and performer Janelle Monáe and the Mad Minds of the Wondaland Arts Society. The star-studded featured cast includes the legendary Big Boi of OutKast, renowned poet Saul Williams, psychedelic dance-punk troupe Of Montreal, punk prophets Deep Cotton, and the Wondaland Arch Orchestra.

The ArchAndroid was inspired by such revolutionary musicians and artistic visionaries as Salvador Dalí, Walt Disney, OutKast, Stevie Wonder, Octavia Butler, David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and John Williams. It was Executive Produced by Nate Wonder, Chuck Lightning, Janelle Monáe, and Sean “Diddy” Combs, with Co-Executive Production from Big Boi of OutKast.

One of the best albums released this year-your MP3 player will thank you for it
