Great night. Some pretty amazing art. This is the guy we were barracking for. You can see him here, obscured by someone else’s art. Check out the rest of the photos on facebook
Champion Sound
The first collaboration between J Dilla and Madlib. How could you possibly go wrong? Simply put this is required listening. Here’s some proof.
Quietube
I’ve been using Quietube a lot lately, and it is great. It strips all the noise from the YouTube video wesbite, including comments and whatnot, until you’re left with just the video itself.
Steve Spacek 'Dollar (Let the Dollar Circulate)'
If you don’t want a song stuck in your head than don’t check out this song that J. Dilla produced for Steve Spacek, i’ve been humming it since the middle of last week everywhere I go, in alleys and by the river or in my bedroom, “let the dollar circulateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”
nevver links to a set of “Informative Prints” by Francisco Seiz. I love these - if you want to make pretty shapes using the aesthetic of data visualization, do it! Just don’t harm any actual data in the process.
Gorgeous.
Turn by Margaret Roberts at Factory 49. God she is good.
A Day in the life of Barack Obama

Richard Pryor on the N-Word
Richard Pryor:
I was sitting in the hotel and a voice said to me, “Look around, what do you see?” And I said, “I see all colours of people doing everything, you know.” And the voice said, “Do you see any niggers?” And I said “No.” And he said, “You know why? Because there aren’t any.”
So true, but tell that to the Wu Tang Clan.
