E-40: The King of Slang

07-Apr-06

While reading The News Tribune today (I have to keep up on my local Tacoma news), I noticed a rather nicely done writeup about the infamous Bay Area rap icon E-40. Naturally it is offering some free advertisement for his upcoming concert, but aside from the blatant plugs, the article is rather good and gives [...]

BBC: Echoes Of Africa

27-Feb-06

From the BBC website:
Dance music, pop, jazz, rock, rap, blues - there aren’t many genres which don’t carry an element of African ‘DNA’ somewhere in their make up. The music we love has its foundation in a blend of African and European sounds. We look at the influence of the continent known as the “birthplace [...]

For starters, I had to go to the Post Office [...]

So today while browsing the net I came across a little video of a house with Christmas lights. I know it does not ’sound’ that interesting, but let me tell you, this has to be the best damn Christmas light show I have ever seen. I would tell you more about it, but you are [...]
