Asking questions...

What's the council on foreign relations? what is AFRICOM and why isn't anyone talking about it? Why are there so many military installments of the US around the world? maybe we're in such a financial state because of so much military spending?

has obama spoken about any of the things on his agenda? what are those things? can he put dates on any of these key items? can we ask him questions about stuff? is he as accessible as his campaign made him to be?

what questions do you have?

Go 'Bama, but wtf happened to Prop 8?

Obama got elected! Terrific, great job getting the vote out. But what happened at the booths guys? i don't think everyone took a good look at the voting booth, because we slept on a few important propositions like Prop 8, a gay marriage ban that won 52 percent of votes yesterday in California and now threatens to nullify some 18,000 same-sex marriages. Another Prop that went the wrong way was Prop 5 (which would've allocated 460 million a year towards rehabilitation of non-violent drug offenders, freeing up prison resources, creating jobs, and giving people a chance to find their way out of a bad situation) voted no by 59.8%. 

take a look, leave a comment:

Hip Hop Halloween Photo Recap!

Special thanks to our photographers for the night, Joe and the ever-lovely Tina!

VIVA LA HOVA

Viva La Hova (or Coldjay) is a mixtape by Mick Boogie and Terry Urban that mashes up Coldplay songs with Jay favorites. Cookin' Soul has been known for their awesome mixtapes recently, and this is no exception. This tape is seriously well done. It definately tops the oJAYsis (Jay Z and Oasis, if you uh... didn't catch that) mixtape they dropped not long ago.Be sure to check out Never changing and a spy's prayer (tracks 4 and 9).

Grab the mixtape over at it's site- www.vivalahova.com

Another wonderfully joyous night of art and music...

Oh, man what a night! We had a blast and as the pictures come rolling in, i'll be editting and posting them. Really quick, i want to shout a few people out for comin thru...

• Big props go to Gully, Rabbi Darkside, Raquel Manuela and Jon Axelrod for doing their respective thing. There was a lot of talent in the room and everyone in attendance had their wigs blown back by the art and music.
• Of course big shouts to the Mercury Soapbox family (including but not limited to): Komon, E Money, DanSke, Kenneth, Tina & Tania! You guys make it work, and i thank you from the corazon.
• Big ups to Cathleen, who kept the drinks flowin and volume turned up, lol.
• oh yeah, A GIANT BOO! to the douches smoking in the bathroom. According to several sources a trio comprised of cops and soldiers swaddled into our spot, burned up some pot in the bathroom and then did the quick dip when Cath brought it to our attention. My peeps know when and where to burn, and we don't shit where we eat...

I'll be updating soon, so stay tuned.

oh yeah- danny, that mortician line killed 'em!

Peace Y'all!
