Another one by request.

(BTW I'm trying out the blip.tv player, which may sometimes run an ad after the video ends.)

My appearance (as the opening act for zefrank!) on Jesse Thorn's excellent radio show The Sound of Young America. Man I hate looking at myself. If I had it to do over again I would like to be more funnier and less pseudo-intellectual. Jesse's show is really dope though, I highly recommend going through the archives. Some of my favorite interviews are the ones with Bubs and Bunk from The Wire, Ira Glass, Betty Davis(!), and the founders or Reno 911.

Time to get my mixtape DJ voice on:
EXCLUSIVE! EXCLUSIVE!! EXCLUSIVE!!!

A peek behind the scenes as the legendary Rik Cordero shoots a new video for Nas (which, rumor has it, will feature an appearance by certain bloggers).

***MINOR SPOILER ALERT***

Uncovering the secret code hidden inside the year's best movie.

For real though Wall-E was a great film, and I don't expect this type of movie (or any movie) to comprehensively cover every sociopolitical issue.. but I did find it interesting how it approached environmental issues, in a way that basically left class -and race- off the table.. especially since race and class are so often left off the table when the environment is discussed..

For the great one. One of the biggest influences on my understanding of everything, and his legendary "7 dirty words" court case happened at the radio station where I've spent half my life. One of the people I most most most wanted to meet/interview. You could always count on him to be on top of the now for however long he was here, and I know that he was a devoted blog reader, so I always fantasized about him visiting my site or seeing one of my vids.

this video contains adult language (like, duh!)

Here's a new version of an old video, for the good people at current.tv.

And for those who are in NY, you are welcome to observe my nerdiness in person, on Saturday at the UCB theater. Details are below.

I may be cynical about the politics but no matter what happens from here on in, our kids will never again have to wonder if they can really do it. That's something.
