Sigur Rós - Varúð

Sigur Rós 'Valtari' Mystery Film Experiment: Varúð by Ryan McGinley
Taken from the "valtari mystery film experiment" - more details: sigur-ros.co.uk/valtari/videos/

Muhammad Ali

The night before the London Opening Ceremonies, Team USA hosted a gala to honor Muhammad Ali. This tribute video was created for the occasion by remix master Steve Porter.

New quiet bits from Thomas Koner, Atom TM, Frank Brettschneider, Mats Lindstrom, and Eleh; older quiet bits from Eliane Radigue, Suum Cuique, Ultraphonist, Pan Sonic, and Carsten Nicolai; quiet collaborations between Giuseppe Ielasi & Domenico Scianjo, and Sten Hanson & Henri Chopin; and some other quiet bits from Desmond Leslie, eRikm, and Joseph Nechvatal. It's all rather quiet...

Sage Francis on Snoop Lion

During Snoop Dogg's recent trip to Jamaica he decided:
1) He is Bob Marley reincarnated.
2) Hip-hop doesn't challenge him enough
3) He is changing his name to "Snoop Lion."
MY COUNTER-POINTS:
1) Not only can you not be Bob Marley reincarnated as you were born before he died, but please don't ever align yourself with a true musician, lyricist and/or revolutionary. Ever.
2) If hip-hop doesn't challenge you, you're clearly not challenging yourself. But, yeah, reggae is most definitely the most challenging of genres. :-/
3) In hip-hop, this is what we call "jumping the lion."
Lastly, and most sincerely, I wish you the best in your transformation. Everybody deserves redemption, enlightenment and growth. But if you think that reggae is your escape from all the lazy, violent & misogynistic b.s. you have pumped into this world, you must be smoking something. And it's not just ganja.
