Except you probably wouldn't know that since she's rolling around on the floor speaking in tongues. OR is she having a seizure? QUICK SOMEONE HOLD HER TONGUE DOWN SO SHE DOESN'T SWALLOW IT!!!Here's some video footage of the Church Sarah Palin belonged to up until 2002, the Wasilla Assembly of God. Although she's not in this particular video, it's safe to assume that this is the standard service...

Provocateurs at the RNC
I'm always frustrated when I hear stories of peaceful demonstrations gone awry. The rioting that ensued after "protesters" smashed windows at this years Republican National Convention flew me into a frenzy. Iron Giant and I were talking about it a couple days ago when she said, with confidence, that even though "99%" of the demonstrators were peaceful, people will only talk about those few rott...

URB ALTcast for 09/04/08 - It's a Grand Old Party
Guess what? The microphone El Keter and Emeyesi use to record the podcasts broke this week!They didn't know that while they were recording it. So they can't be held accountable for the fact that all the banter sounds like crapola.El Keter opened the mic up today, played with its guts and fixed it though. So next week it'll all sound better.Playlist --1. The Just Joans "Hey Boy... You're Oh S...

Thoroughly Magical
"Magic," a neo-Philadelphia International Soul jam from Robin Thicke, has been one of my guilty pleasure songs for a minute. But Imageyenation homie Scott Thorough (of Brooklyn-based Hip-Hop collective Nuclear Fam and The Boys and Girls Club) did something totally different with it!His Depeche Mode-esque (think 'Violator' era) remix contemporizes it a bit even as it hearkens back to some old-s...

The super '80s-influenced "downtown" Art-Punk meets Punk-Funk meets Post-Disco meets Dance-Pop vibe of "Move" made it my favorite tune off Brazilian Indie-Dance troupe Cansei De Ser Sexy's recent second LP. The video, with it's Polaroid photo gimmicks and road-trip shenanigans, gets the arty silliness of the retro Dencetaria track just right. Besides, Lovefoxxx looks as cute as ever jumping...

What are These "Amendments" You Speak of?
The US Constitution and Bill of Rights have been trampled in Saint Paul, Minnesota while the Twin Cities play host to the Republican National Convention. Local police have either ignored or subverted the I-Witness Video Collective's right to freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures and illegally detained affiliated journalists across the city. Of course, they caught some of it on tape....

Have you ever wished random Rap dudes were infatuated with Chromeo's talk-box Synth-Funk instead of T-Pain's lame auto-tune-enhanced croonery? Maybe you wondered what would happen if Pharrell and Chad's Star Trak signed some UK Grime dude? If so, you should listen to UK Rap guy G FrSH 's vocoderiffic new tune "Do It" and kill two birds with one stone! "Do It" is from G FrSH's debut album ...

Somehow El Keter and Emeyesi just plum forgot to get together and record an episode of Urban Alternatives in a timely fashion. But after a little prodding from our faithful listeners we came through with a slightly shorter, one hour edition, on some "better late than whatever" shit. Download it now, before next week's episode gets here! Playlist -- 1. Sigur Rós "Illgresi (Them Jeans Da..

If Your "Beanbag" is Neon-Colored You Might Want to See a Doctor
Speaking of 'Electric Circus,' one of Com's collaborators on that album, Ltitia Sadier of Stereolab, has a new record out. Well, her band does. They made a video for my favorite song off of it, "Neon Beanbag."The album, the band's 9th, is called 'Chemical Chords' and it's out now on their own Duophonic label, distributed by 4AD.

--- - |- The new single "Announcement" has almost single-handedly made me hate both Common and Pharrell Williams. Seriously, I hope all those motherfucker who badmouthed Com for his musical direction and fashion sense during the 'Electric Circus' (which, for the record, I liked ) era have something to say about this shit! I mean, really ? I'll take crocheted pants and nine-minu...
