a pop culture lifeline
1.
When the Spice Girls announced that they were ending their tour early, I can say that I half-expected it. This sets the context for point #2.
2.
When Dru Hill got back together for 5 minutes, I should have been more apprehensive to buy those tickets since the show got cancelled and all. My shot at listening to live 90s R&B has been delayed. Now, I'm definitely looking forward to DJ Mark Marcelo's ScRuNcHiEs & hEaDbAnDs 90s R&B Mix (that shit took me 5 minutes to type). It's like he stole my iTunes and mixed it.
3.
The new iPhone is coming out and I'm gradually deciding to give in to the bittersweet irony of purchasing electronic products that I know are manufactured by immigrant labor workers, like my mom. Can't fuck with that.
4.
I'm definitely not uber impressed by Season 2 of America's Best Dance Crew. Give SoCal due credit, as emphasized by Jon Yang here (his commentary about ABDC is on point). Let me remind yall bout something:
JabbaWockeeZ set the standard. WTF is going on now. Because I trust Dandiggity, I gotta give it up to Supreme Soul.
5.
The 2nd fundraising event, Volume Control 2, for the Asian/Pacific Islander American (APIA) Spoken Word Summit for bay0nine is on Father's Day, June 15 in Oakland, CA. Support, if you can. Volume Control 1 was dope! Artists are everyday people, too.
6.
Same-sex marriages can be banned again in California. I've read about the economic benefits to allowing same-sex marriage, but foreal, this is not about financial prosperity and the jobs that could be created. This is about respect and human rights. The struggle for sexuality- and gender-based movements is just as important as race-based social movements. Who are we decide freedom to love and the right to dedicate that love? Please vote NO on the California Gay Marriage Ban on November 4th.
7.
Not all is wrong with the world. Barack Obama as the 2008 Democratic Party Nominee proves good karma. And MTV decided to play music videos, recently.
Stay tuned.
