Asking America, Getting Blank Stares.

October 26, 2010 Front Page No Comments

My friend Mike is traveling the country for Yahoo right now in the “Ask America” van, finding out what Americans think about politics. Or, in many cases, what they don’t think about it.

Be warned, the stares in this video can be pain inducing. Vice President? Do our young people really not know who the VP is?

I know we can do better than the young people in this video. Check it out, see how you score, and learn something along the way. Thanks for putting in the work, Mike!

Get informed. Get involved. And VOTE. November 2nd. Use that voice!

My wife sent me this clip this morning with the simple caption: UHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I happen to agree. Completely.

If you’ve read any of the Brooklyn crew’s previous posts, you know there’s a lot of indie rock love in these parts. But it’s not all indie all the time. I, for one, was raised on a straight diet of hip hop (A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang Clan, Black Star, etc.), and still listen to a sizable amount. Sometimes, I crave some indie rock with a harder edge, and others, some hip hop with a more indie vibe. But then there are time when  I don’t have to choose.

Much like The Notorious XX mash-up I posted recently, someone decided to throw some hip hop classics over the swoon of an indie rock icon. Sufjan Stevens, a Brooklyn singer songwriter, is the source on this mixtape, and a damn fine one at that. Find out for yourselves.

A Cry for Sanity!

Hey there! It’s election season, which means a few things. First, and most importantly, it means you need to register yourself to vote. Register your friends to vote. Family. Children. Pets. JK! (Unless you have a human pet. In which case, weird…and definitely illegal.)

Secondly, it means you best get used to some negativity on your TV screens. In times like these, the news LOVES to cover the looneys (broken up by negative campaign ads where candidates accuse one another of hating happiness, fearing ducks and eating too much sushi). Far, far left and far, far right get all the press during these months. Why’s that, you ask? Cause they’re more fun. Like a traffic accident between a clown car and “The Expendables”, it’s a bloodbath that has everyone tuning in.

You had me at Dolph Lundgren, after the JUMP!
