Little Dragon – “Twice” (Marco Polo Remix)
January 29, 2015
My favorite Little Dragon song re-interpreted just for sh*ts & giggles…Enjoy.
– Marco
Polo! You probably know a producer or two who does stuff just because. But, in large part because they are not Marco Polo, the result actually sounds like it was sh*ts & giggles. No disrespect. Just saying.
Such will never be the case for Marco. The “Twice” track by Little Dragon was fully explored by Marco Polo, who laid claim and made it his own… with this tight remix!

Snoop & Son: A Dad’s Dream (Episode One) [Video]
January 27, 2015
Remember that trailer for that ‘Snoop & Son’ series we posted here? If you need to review, please do. But more important, be sure to watch Episode One above. That’s right. It’s here.
Calvin and Cordell Broadus – Snoop and his second-born son – have their own series. Not like that; but a real ‘reality show’… a mini-documentary on what it’s like for Cordell living in the shadow of one of the most well-known in the music game; and following his attempts to step out of that shadow and into his own lane… on the football field!

Easton LaChappelle’s Brain-Powered Prosthetics Could Change The World (Video)
January 27, 2015
It’s cutting edge robotics meets 3D printing meets whatever cool sci-fi they’ll work in. Definitely incredible. And young inventor Easton LaChappelle, definitely a kid genius! What were you doing at 19? Designing and developing miraculous brain-powered prosthetics? Probably not. But watch Easton in the clip above and be amazed. But note what is most amazing: not just prosthetics for, say, soldiers rendered limbless in service to their country; but that dude can produce them for around $500 each (e.g. for the cheap)!

Kids With Guns: The UK’s Army Cadet Force (Documentary)
January 27, 2015
Damn. Talk about the Boy Scouts on steroids… Check out this episode of VICE’s Rule Britannia. It covers the UK’s Army Cadet Force, exploring what the unique youth club might do for the nation’s at-risk youth.
The Army Cadet Force has over 46,000 cadets from the ages of 12 to 18, training in 1,700 detachments all over the country. The super low-cost club evenings and training camps equip teenagers with discipline and skills in everything from orienteering and military knowledge to weaponry, first aid, and sports.
The theory that cadet activities – all with Queen and Country in mind – could keep youth on the right track has drawn lots of interest and funding from the government. The growing investment should grow the program by leaps and bounds next year.
