Looting & Uk Riots – the World is changing

picture via – photoshoplooters

Nothing can be said about a tragedy that will do it just – but what is the tragedy? Is it the violence imposed upon the ones who are now spreading violence. The world as we know it is changing and thats a fact. We are in a privileged position to be witnessing the downfall of those in power. And it will be more radical than we can imagine yet but the times they are a changing. That goes for anyplace in the world these days, the difference is the colour of the leash that you are tied to and the imaginary shackles you started to believe in.

No one in power has anything smart to say about the Uk Riots but british comedian Russel Brand (via the Guardian)

Bob Marley – Burnin’ & Lootin’

ps if you want to know more read this here – seems like the only legit news

Since the the Uk has sown the same fruits as any western country (or any country in general) they are reaping the same fruits. And thats why is think this song fits.

Beirut – the Rip Tide Album

Beiruts new album “Rip Tide” came out last week and while i never mentioned “East Harlem”on this site, the single that came out 2 months prior to the album release, i kept on playing it as one of the nights ends tunes, and have been deeply & cosmologically in sync with the song and its levitating feel, and thats how i pretty much feel about the entire album. Here is another pick from “Rip Tide”. Enjoy the album and its really worth it, one of my absolute faves right now!

Side note: this summer they have toured a few festivals in Europe but never even touched down anywhere remotely close to germany. i wanna see them live and i want to see the entire crowd go “Whoa” when “East Harlem” is dropped in prime time. Deserves it!

Otis Redding – Try a little Tenderness (the original to Jigga & Kanyes Otis single)

While everyone is still knocking Jay-z & Kanye for how bad their, this weeks released, album “The Throne” is for a list of various reasons – here is one that Chuck D brought fwd – i still cant get over how awesome their sample for their lead single “Otis” is. Not a song to dance to, even though people go mental when you play it, doesnt look anything like dancing though, i think its brave enough and in the vein of the old fashioned hip hop to use a sample as soulful as this for a heavily promoted hiphop track, thats meant to go chartland and – no i dont care what they are saying and how much they are bragging about stuff. i stopped paying attention to hip hop vocals a long time ago. I picked better Mantras for me, no but THE SAMPLE is AWESOME. uhmm… i mean this SONG is AWESOME!
