I have finally finished watching all episodes of the Taiwanese drama Rolling Love (Go! Fried Rice). Subtitled, silly; my Mandarin is terrible. (Taiwanese shows are serialized like telanovelas, which is smart and allows neat little stories that aren’t drawn out long enough to use their viewership.) As you may recall, I was watching it because […]

RIP to two American greats, and a Palestinian one too. Never forget Macaroni and Black Moses. You should read this English translation of a poem Mahmoud Darwish wrote for Edward Said. I particuarly like the part where he is describing Said as he knew him: New York. Edward wakes up to a lazy dawn. He […]

Even though the Olympics are boring and the announcers keep making borderline bigoted remarks about other countries, Esan and I watched part of the gymnastics trials tonight, because we decided if the American teams win it might be good for the depressed economy. Or at least will provide a moment of jingoistic respite from our […]

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 was a contractual agreement made before the collective successes of the stars. FABU outfit Blake!

That Nicole Wray is the best young R&B singer alive right now. Mariah Carey doesn’t count because she has transcended into a vision at Medjugorje. Nicole got dropped from Def Jam in ’04 after her Jem-themed video for “If I Was Yr Girlfriend” was stashed in the “consider airing if she joins the cast of […]

He has a song called “My President is Black” about Barack Obama. And last night at his listening party gave a speech about registering to vote etc. Dudes. We must take this!

This Good magazine feature is one of my favorites (not only because it features my song “Them What Do” from the Consious LP!) but also because I’ve been into bees forever, whatever reason. The end is scary, considering that bees are one of the creatures that haven’t evolved at all since before dinosaur times, being […]
