January 27, 2012
The soulful voice behind classic albums Brown Sugar and Voodoo seems to be finally back after an 11 year hiatus. Even though D’Angelo’s absence had much more to do with personal troubles than lack of musical inspiration,it looks like the good brother is back on the right track. He was spotted at Filadelfiakyrkan in Stockholm, Sweden performing new joints along with classic joints like “Chicken Grease” and “Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” to a lively crowd, with the energy and passion that we grown accustomed to from D’Angelo. I also see the homie Kendra Foster doing her thing signing background!! No word on an album just yet, but things are looking up. We need you D!!!

Somali Pirate Movie: “Fishing Without Nets” (Video)
January 25, 2012
Check out this trailer to the short film that’s currently being screened at the Sundance Film Festival based on the lives of the pirates of Somalia. “Fishing Without Nets” has just won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at the Sundance Film Festival & the timing of the film’s win couldn’t be any more coincindental with the recent news coming out of Washington. The U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six, that killed Osama Bin Laden, just successfully completed a successful rescue mission of a kidnapped American under the orders of President Barack Obama. The timing of this film directed by 25-year-old Cutter Hodierne couldn’t be better as the movie, unlike major news outlets reporting of these events, is coming based on the perspective of the Somali pirates themselves. From a production standpoint the director only wanted to shoot in East Africa for 3 weeks with his team, but their stint there grew into 5 months in which their own lives were at risk among other hardships.

NFL’s Troy Vincent’s Travel Tips (Video)
January 20, 2012
I’m happy to see my former teammate doing well working for the NFL these days. Although he’s a few years older than me, former Philadelphia Eagle cornerback Troy Vincent & I were teammates in high school. Although my dreams of playing in the NFL were cut short in college, I’ve always routed for Troy because he was one of us who made it to the big leagues. One of the key reasons why Troy had such a great career in the NFL & continues to do so in a management capacity is because he’s very organized. That’s where we differ because if you looked at my desk in my home office is NOWHERE near as neat. I’m straight up living the life of a world traveling bachelor with smaller pocket change, but he’s traveling the world successful & settled down into family life. Good job Troy! I bet you he owns some stock in Zip Fizz too. Clever choice to include it in the interview if that’s the case. Troy’s inspiring me to be more organized….(looks around at my office) Ahhh well…maybe not. Hahaa!

The Colbert Report on SOPA (Video)
January 18, 2012
Check out Stephen Colbert’s satiric take on SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation which, in all seriousness, we don’t support here either. We went offline like many other websites around the world to draw attention to the problem with SOPA & the PROTECT IP act. On Tuesday January 24th the U.S. Senate will vote, but you need to make your voices heard to avoid any chance that the PROTECT IP act or SOPA gets ANY chance of passing. The legislation threatens to violate the First Amendment, would censor the internet, and could threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech actions. For more information on PROTECT IP & SOPA & how you can help to make your voice heard, watch the video under the hood or click on the link below…
