An Intimate Tour Of Nina Simone’s Childhood Home (Video)
March 20, 2017
That’s what’s up! Four artists (Adam Pendleton, Rashid Johnson, Ellen Gallagher, Julie Mehretu) purchased the house where Nina Simone was born and spent her childhood.
It wasn’t long after the election that this all began to happen, and I was desperate like a lot of people to be engaged, and this felt like exactly the right way.

Go on a tour (with The New York Times) of Simone’s old home in Tryon, North Carolina, above.

Kendrick Lamar On Life, Living And The Pursuit Of God (Video)
March 16, 2017
You want a follow-up to to “To Pimp A Butterfly” don’t you? Well, you at least wish someone (like the NY Times) would ask about it, right? Wish granted. The above video is the NY Times On Set with the Compton emcee talking about content for that and a bit more. Peep.
Also some extra insights from his conversation with the T Magazine folks (from NY Times).
“I think now, how wayward things have gone within the past few months, my focus is ultimately going back to my community and the other communities around the world where they’re doing the groundwork. ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ was addressing the problem. I’m in a space now where I’m not addressing the problem anymore. We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.â€
Witness Account Of The Assassination Of Malcolm X (Video)
February 22, 2017
I heard Brother Malcolm say ‘salaam alaikum’ and next thing I heard were the shots.
– A. Peter Bailey
Powerful personal account, including moments just preceding and following the assassination of activist/icon Malcolm X. The audio alone is powerful, but the pictures and scene captures, overlaid with poignant touches of animation. You’ll feel this. And what you feel… that’s them trying to kill the Human Rights movement.
Damn.
Call It A Comeback: Music Has Gone Digital, But Many People Still Want Vinyl (Video)
October 12, 2015
In a world where everything is electronic, and media is going more and more digital, is it a surprise that there is a growing demand for music on vinyl records?
Well, yeah. Yeah it is. But growth could mean one record a week to two; so how big a growth trend are we talking (you ask)? Oh, just enough to keep the few remaining plants worldwide backed up to up to six months or so delivery turnaround on a vinyl order.
Interesting right? Watch the NY Times video clip on it above, and read the full write-up (linked below) for more.
