Secret Yakuza

Stumbled Upon this and loved it: Secret Yakuza by Stasia Burrington

I love the Holly Hobby look contrasted with the hardcore yakuza tattoos. Although I would never go so far, I have a couple of tattoos and was attracted by the idea of hidden identity that they represent.

Public Enemy v. Anthrax

Not a mash up as much as a collaboration that kind of shocks me. You can’t see more differences between two bands or fan bases. I like this song, don’t love it, but would take it any day over that harmless crap pumped out by some groups today. Plus, it’s fun to see Flava, Chuck D, and Scott Ian thrashing around on stage. I swear I see Ice-T in there at some point too.

I don’t think this one gets an “inspiration” tag, but it’s worth sharing. remember people, “Free your mind, and your ass will follow.”

Virtual Jam Session 2.0

So I found this little audio/video clip via Schema Magazine (Your Daily Dose of Ethnic Cool). Why is this interesting at all?

‘Cause in January, 8 people with 5 different instruments originating from 4 different continents, speaking 3 different languages were connected over the world wide web for a jam session, sharing with the world a brief 5 minutes and 58 seconds of collaborative musical wonder. The goal was to create a message of peace.

It’s an amazing application of technology to music, and a real ground-breaker as far as I can tell. Listen and watch now:
