harder better faster stronger

i just found this while looking at kanye videos. please enjoy. its pretty awesome!! just wait for them to get started...

kanye flashing lights

'ye has done three versions of the video for his song flashing lights, personally i like this one



of the other two the i like this one the most (sorry for bad sound quality)



i am really feeling the stop motion action. but i am so not down with the third one (link). the last one i think might actually be the official one - but that would be a waste of the other two.

nice songs...

some rapper i never have heard of mixed with justices song d.a.n.c.e., i am definitely a fan of the mix. enjoy!

free music

as of late, i have been finding all kinds of cool dj sets/mixtapes online. there are som really nice mixes out there and the best part of it is that they are free. some i found through searching for podcasts on iTunes. the one i will link to, i have found through formatmag.com (an online magazine that looks at music, art and clothing).



i dont know much about the djs, but their names are dj vibe & max barbaria, they have a few mixtapes up, but so far my favorite is their newest "love your family" (link). its a good mixture of mashup, rap & hip-hop and electronic. generally pretty good.


another thing is the remake of jay-z american gangster. its pretty sweet with some nice smooth beats and the tight flows from american gangster. there has been added a few appearances to each song. the name of the cd is black caesar. you can download the whole album here (link)


in other news i am pretty hyped for the new n*e*r*d cd, they have a new single out "everyone nose". its not the best song, i do enjoy the video, but the remix is mad. the remix has lupe fiasco, pharell and kanye west spitting hot verses. you can find it on pharells blog (link). here is the video

update: bahais in iran

bbc and cnn has some news of condemnations of the arrests of bahais in iran. good to see the global media are picking this up fairly quick. next up denmark. (link) (link)


picture of the seat of the universal house of justice

Iran is at it again

I dont have much time to write it myself, but here is a quote from Bahai News Service.
"The six men and women, all members of the national-level group that helped see to the minimum needs of Bahá’ís in Iran, were in their homes Wednesday morning when government intelligence agents entered and spent up to five hours searching each home, before taking them away. The seventh member of the national coordinating group was arrested in early March in Mashhad after being summoned by the Ministry of Intelligence office there on an ostensibly trivial matter. " Here is the original source (link).


it is sad to hear such news, especially so few days after the joyous occasion of the election of the Universal House of Justice (link).

My prayers go out to the Bahai of Iran and not to forget the thousands suffering under the natural disasters in Myanmar and China.

gnarls barkley video

quite amazing music video by gnarls barkley from their new cd. i like.



i love the african dancers, its nice to see the use of that in pop culture. sorry for the link post alone. i have been very busy with my bachelors project the last couple of weeks. it is unfortunately not moving forward at the speed which i would prefer it to, but it is moving forward. i hope to be done with it in the beginning of june. after that all i have is one exam in a course about india and then i have summer break. thats going to be really nice. anyways enjoy the music...

"this is real and not for play, imma vote obama way!"

*throwin up tha "O"*

basketball and obama

here is an interesting video of obama talking about basketball. the interesting part is in the end when he talks about how basketball fits into the african american culture. but i also appreciate the the way he is described, not as a black man, but as a bi-racial person. the american media (as most of the world) focus on him being black. but really he is bi-racial. i dont fully agree with him on all his political stances (do i with anyone?), but he does have a pleasant demeanor. here is the video:
