Bush. Letting the cables sleep. Remix.

From Cafe Del Mar Volumen Siete-original on Science of Things (1999). Sweet throwback jam.

Whitney Houston. Singer. Actress. American. 1963-2012.

How will I know, from the self-titled Whitney Houston (1995) album... a childhood fave... RIP.

Hold You Down. Alchemist. 2004.

Featuring Nina Sky + Mobb Deep.

I heart Chloe... she has a wicked laugh.

Manhattan. Film. Woody Allen. 1979.

Re-watched Manhattan last night and was inspired by the film's overall stylishness... Mariel Hemmingway and Meryl Streep are absolutely gorgeous in this flick.

White Men Can't Jump. A Tribute. 1992.

Written + directed by Ron Shelton this flick is a not so guilty pleasure of mine... awesome casing... wicked styling-from Rosie's badass outfits to Wesley Snipes' caps... the cheesy 90s lines and entertaining B-ball jams make for a real fun watch.

Tout va bien.

The recent looting/rioting in London reminded me of this scene in Jean-Luc Godard's Tout va bien (1972) which depicts the French riots of the 1960s-mostly by youth/students-in connection to class struggle...

The visual of this scene made me think of Manufactured Landscapes by Edward Burtynsky...

Pill VS. Suzanne Vega.

From the Album Pill and DJ Drama's ‘1140: The Overdose. 2011.


From the Pretty in Pink soundtrack (with pianist Joe Jackson). 1986.
...grinned wide when I first heard Pill's On Da Korner-love the unlikely collabo/mashup.

Daniel H. Pink. Author. Motivational Speaker. Original thinker. DC.

I'm ALL about Daniel Pink right now... saw his TED talk a while back but only recently got into his books... eye-opening and validating to realize that being SO right-brained is something to foster and not be ashamed of. For the most part our society values left-brain thinking more than creative right brain logic-but things WILL be changing with shifts in the economy/offshore outsourcing/globalization etc. "Lawyers. Accountants. Computer programmers. That’s what our parents encouraged us to become when we grew up. But Mom and Dad were wrong. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind. The era of “left brain” dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which “right brain” qualities-inventiveness, empathy, meaning-predominate." (A Whole New Mind) IT'S ABOUT TIME.
