    Today I Found Happy

Brooklyn, New York-based emcees and beatmakers August and Ugly Orwell make really dope Hip-Hop music together under the Bi-Polar Bear moniker.Besides having one of the awesomest group names I‘ve ever heard, they’re both extremely talented, both on the microphone and the production apparatus.No, I mean it, their big, dramatic beats, ear for eclectic samples, emotionally painstaking lyricism and

Is Christopher Nolan “The One?”

    Christopher Nolan

I‘ve made no secret about my hatred for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight.’ One of my main beefs is that Nolan just doesn't seem capable of choreographing, framing or shooting action. The brand new trailer for his next film ‘Inception’ makes it clear that's only the case when he's shooting action featuring Batman apparently.Nolan wrote and directed the film which stars Leonardo Di

Michael Moore Tells a Love Story

It's a crime story. But it's also a war story about class warfare. And a vampire movie, with the upper 1 percent feeding off the rest of us. And, of course, it's also a love story. Only it's about an abusive relationship.It's not about an individual, like Roger Smith, or a corporation, or even an issue, like health care. This is the big enchilada. This is about the thing that dominates all our ...

You might remember the Malm, Sweden-based Indietronica duo Valutan from Imageyenation's “Best of 2008” list, one of our podcasts, or even my now defunct Blogarhythms blog over on the Okayplayer website.Their ‘Blame the Voters’ LP, released by the Pitch9 netlabel, wasn't just one of the many free albums I dug last year, it was a triumph of intelligent songwriting and techno-organic rhythms

Queens, New York-born emcee Despot, affiliated with both the Lo-Lifes and the Definitive Jux label, is one of my favorite rappers who's never actually put out an album.He's also a helluva snappy dresser, and the originator of the notion that El Keter is “famous on the internet” when we bumped into each other at a live show a few years ago.That doesn't have much to do with my point though, whic
