This video, shot by Alex Browning in London and Manchester, is very damn cool. That was my reaction after watching it once. I liked ¡OYE!’s last video, which was also shot in London, but this really encompasses the feel of the city. What I’m trying to say is, this is a very frickin’ cool video. You should all watch it.

So, it’s been a couple weeks, but I finally put together the video that I shot from the Mifflin Street Block Party this year. The video was really just to test out my new editing software, but I uploaded it to Youtube. Why not, right? Especially since there is a movement to shut the annual party down before next year’s

Ahh, the early days of hip hop. Legends like Run-DMC, LL Cool J, and disasters like this kid on public access TV. It should be noted that I’m speculating on this being from the 80s, but the pants pretty much say it is. Check out the awesomely bad “Nu Thang” by Michael Clancy. No word on when the mixtape drops.

You’ve got to be kidding me. People hate her more than me? Someone did their homework, and decided that Rebecca Black’s hit “Friday” is actually about JFK’s assassination. The internet is weird.

If you haven’t seen this by now, expect it to be everywhere soon. This is Karmin, a pop group from Brookline, MA, covering Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Busta Rhymes.

The first track from the eagerly awaited new Beastie Boys album, “Hot Sauce Committee, Part Two”, appeared online this week. Since MCA, a.k.a. Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer, the original plans to release “Hot Sauce Commitee” were scrapped, and postponed until now. The only change seems to be the addition of “Part Two” to the name. The album comes

This was created in 2003, but I’m just learning about it now. It is the Audiopad, made by Patten Studio, a company that works with surface technology. I’m sure they’re expensive, but if someone wants to buy me one, that would be cool. How Patten describes the Audiopad: “Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks

I don’t read the Harry Potter books. I never have, and never will. I don’t watch the movies. Again, probably won’t get into them. One thing I do like, though, is the theme song. And this remix of it. Very cool. Check it out: http://soundcloud.com/fee_lipe/terabyte-frenzy-harry-potter Also, it sounds very cool on a carillon, say… at Marquette University…
