“This fascinating 20-minute video [well, let’s say audio documentary, since there’s hardly any visuals to it] narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.”

Emma the Dog has some problems understanduing how the hell the cat can fit into the computer screen. At one point she actually goes over to see the cat in her box to make sure she is really there. I just love the head tilts!

A few months ago, I posted Playing For Change: Stand By Me, which features artists from all over the world singing different parts of the same song, which are then expertly edited together to make a beautiful international collaboration. Here is another song from this series, this time covering Bob Marley’s classic reggae song “One Love.”
Below it is a similar video — same concept, same song — but it’s not with artists around the world…it’s artists from around Los Angeles. But considering how multicultural LA is, it’s actually quite diverse.

What do you get when you suspend nanoparticles of iron in a colloidal solution of water, oil and a surfactant? Ferrofluids, a liquid that reacts to magnetic fields in trippy ways that make you think that science is both magical and potentially evil.

I think they should update the MLB official rules and make this the required method of batting.

Very enlightening (and funny) interview from a reformed Klansman, about how “one old black man defeated the entire Ku Klux Klan….by using his brain.” It’s interesting to see KKK members come across more as “bumbling ignorant rednecks” than the “dangerous terrorist hatemongers” we typically think of them as.

So many twists and turns you’ll forget they’ve been using the same formula for five seasons.

This is a memorable scene from the phenomenal 1967 documentary Dont Look Back about Bob Dylan’s 1965 UK Tour…up-and-coming singer-songwriter Donovan meets Bob Dylan for the first time, and they have a play-off. The general consensus is that Dylan schools Donovan with “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” but I actually like Donovan’s song “To Sing For You” better. What do you guys think?
