YouTube - Air – La Femme D’Argent.

An amazing video exposed to me by my friend Lora. Air’s “Moon Safari” set to footage from a streetcar Traveling down San Francisco’s Market Street in 1905. Very cool to see how that small piece of the world looked back then, before earthquakes and fires… and the soundtrack works great.

Tonight!

RATT POISON! w/ Thee Cormans & Chango Rey at The Tower Bar

Ok, don’t get me wrong, Beyonce is a beautiful and classy woman as well as an extremely talented singer. That being said, “All the Single Ladies” is not a good song. The lyrics are awful, contradictory and the opposite of an “independent woman” song. Plus having a woman married to one of the richest, most influential men in music be the performer of this song is kind of ironic.

This is not a song about independence. It’s a song about dependence and jealousy. And it’s shallow and materialistic. It doesn’t speak a word of, “Hey, you can make it on your own a single lady.” It says “You’ll find a guy that will own you and give you a ring eventually.” And it doesn’t even deliver that backwards, messed up message well.

I had the pleasure of once again seeing the incredible one man band, Chango Rey and His Broken Heart Beat, perform at a birthday Party for Carlos. The event was held at Two Roses, an excellent Tattoo Shop, Barber Shop, and Coffee Shop. You should check both out. Here’s some video I took…

So, every once in a while you hear a song that actually makes you think and might even shift your perspective.  K’naan, a Somalian emcee, makes some great points about perspective here.  What we as a culture consider to be “hardcore”  begins to feel more like a game after listening to this.  I have already felt that, what some consider “hardcore” hip hop or gangster rap, had lost it’s point and was pretty irrelevant. However, it wasn’t very easy to explain why, even to myself.  Well, here you go.  I couldn’t have said it better my self, because honestly, I’m just not that hardcore…
