I finally stumbled onto the “Spacious Thoughts” video, thanks to Inept Architect, at the Soleone Board. This was easily my favorite song off N.A.S.A.’s 2009 record, “The Spirit of Apollo.” I’m not sure how I missed this video, the first time around, but I had to point out how incredible Florescent Hill is!

Digital Arts Feature on Florescent Hill, and the making of this video.
The planet lost one of its greatest thinkers today. I take comfort in the knowledge that Howard Zinn lives on, through his prolific body of work and the countless people, affected by his bold and compassionate teaching –a people, among which I proudly count myself.
“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people,
can transform the world.”–Howard Zinn 1922-2010
They grow up so fast.

At some point, the devastation and loss in the wake of the Haitian quake really becomes incalculable. The physical damage has been so pervasive, that we have yet to fully consider the massive cultural decimation, faced by a people with such a unique and compelling history. Nothing remains of the The Musee/Galerie D’Art Nader in Port-au-Prince, which housed the planet’s largest selection of Haitian Art. 12,000 artworks were lost, at and estimated financial value of $30 million to $100 million, but the cultural loss really is impossible to assess.

Attn: suburban hip-hop eulogists – B. Dolan and his cobelligerent, Alias are set to rain all over your funeral procession. Fallen House, Sunken City is the sophomore release from RI, rapper/artist/activist/impresario, Bernard Dolan. With the help of fellow New Englander and prodigious beatsmith, Alias, this duo is set to knock the dust off your boombox and slap you right out of your little sister’s pants. In the first single, ‘Fifty Ways to Bleed Your Customer’, Bernard and Brendon represent like the second coming of Chuck D and the Bomb Squad, respectively. I’m usually not one to make arbitrary predictions about an upcoming record (that’s a lie), but I’m going to go ahead and dub this the first great hop hop album of Twentyten. ‘Fallen House’ will also feature guest appearances by P.O.S., Cadence Weapon, Buddy Peace, and Providence’s What Cheer? Brigade. Just make sure there is plenty of water in your bomb shelter on March 2nd.*

Banksy’s new film, Exit Through the Gift Shop premiered last night, at the Sundance film festival. My sources say it is absolutely brilliant. As should be expected, there were no gracious speeches or publicity photos from the elusive artist, but there was clear evidence of his arrival in Park City, Utah. Viva, Banksy!

Wyclef continues to fight the important fight for Haiti, releasing a remix and video of his song “Hold On, with Jamaincan dancehall artist, Mavado. It’s difficult to downplay the impact that philanthropic artists and celebrities like Wyclef have had on the Haitian relief effort. Bigup Wyclef, Clooney, and my old drinking buddy Tobey Maguire for setting a new standard in relief giving.
