R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron
Gil Scott Heron "Winter In America" (1974) (Via.) YouTube Description: "Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949 - May 27, 2011) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer and his collaborative work with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". On his influence, a music writer later noted that "Scott-Heron's unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists"."

Supernova Sonata - Music of the (Exploding) Spheres
"The video shows each [supernova Type Ia] blast in chronological order, with each second of video corresponding to roughly two weeks of real time." - Alasdair Wilkins
Supernova Sonata - Music of the (Exploding) Spheres (Via.)
Each supernova is assigned a note to be played:(Via.)
Volume = Distance: The volume of the note is determined by the distance to the supernova, with more distant supernova being quieter and fainter.
Pitch = "Stretch:" The pitch of the note was determined by the supernova's "stretch," a property of how the supernova brightens and fades. Higher stretch values played higher notes. The pitches were drawn from a Phrygian dominant scale.
Instrument = Mass of Host Galaxy: The instrument the note was played on was determined by the properties of the galaxy which hosted each supernova. Supernovae hosted by massive galaxies are played with a stand-up bass, while supernovae hosted by less massive galaxies are played with a grand piano.
Note that the brightness of the supernovae as shown in the animation are not to scale. Because they are so distant, even these extremely powerful explosions appear very faint upon reaching us here on Earth.

Kendrick Lamar 'HiiiPOWER' *OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO* New Music 2011 #Section80
Dope.
Kendrick Lamar Feat. Alori Joh 'HiiiPOWER' (Prod. by J. Cole) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO].
The People's Verdict: A powerful video for a powerful song. Imagery of struggles against injustice from around the world and from different eras form a complex tapestry in this visual barrage-montage.
The key to understanding this video, I believe, is Mohamed Bouazizi (click here), the man who set himself on fire and inaugurated the unrest in Tunisia - the man whose desperation ignited the Middle East, creating what is being called the "Arab Spring." Footage of chaos in the Middle East with a caption reading "MAN'S SELF-IMMOLATION LAUNCHED PROTESTS" opens the video proper and Lamar ends it by pouring gasoline on his head and holding a lit match towards the camera.
When Kendrick Lamar says, "Who said a black man in the Illuminati? / last time I checked that was the biggest racist party / [...]" the video takes the viewer from a still image of Jay-Z throwing up the Roc diamond sign to a short clip of Sean Hannity on Fox News (the astute observer may notice that the topic of "discussion" is the "controversial" invitation of Common to the White House by Michelle Obama for a poetry reading - click here for coverage of this issue on The Daily Show). When he returns to the same lines a second time later on there is a quick shot (a theme throughout the video) of a sign that has "OBAMA HALF-BREED MUSLIN" written on it, followed by a shot of Bill O'Reilly.
To take it a step further and break the line down some for you in case you weren't aware, the Internet is rife with conspiracy theories. In one such theory the "Illuminati" control the world. This explains the success of affluent African Americans like Jay-Z and Oprah Winfrey for envious Internet idiots. Lamar's point is more specifically (I think) that the Freemasons, which are the group from which the Illuminati supposedly derives its ranks, is in some places, to this day, still segregated and thus the absurdity of these anonymous e-accusations becomes apparent.
Do the knowledge: Malcolm X (click here), Huey Newton (click here), Martin Luther King, Jr. (click here), Bobby Seale (click here), Marcus Garvey (click here), and Fred Hampton (click here).
I wrote #Section80
because I was ordered to do so. You'll never understand my life and my world. Have you ever seen a new born baby kill a man? Kendrick Lamar. The very next scene is a visual of me with the eyes of a 6 year old. My mother told me to keep this outtake because it said who I was. An infant looking for answers. Will you forgive m? I don't give a fuck about too much nowadays because of the world. Heart. Honor. Respect. Family. I'll die for that though. Will you forgive me, twice? Probly not. I watch this video and reminis[c]e on that krazy am hour of september 13, 2010. I got a visit from Lesane Parish Crooks. Rese[a]rch this name. I remember being asleep. His image said "Don't let me die." I was paranoid. I said "why"? He said "because you the....."

First of all, props go to my brother for putting me onto this video.
As the numbers count down before the video starts there appears the hieroglyph for the eye of Horus ("Cause we've been off slave ships / got our own pyramids, write our own hieroglyphs / [...]") with an arrow pointing upwards crossed by two parallel lines, which could represent an equals sign (the significance of which I must profess ignorance).

You can check out the bandcamp here. Head over to the SoundCloud (click here) and you can hear a "soundalike" of Karma Police by Radiohead (a soundalike is what might be used in a movie since the original recording costs double due to laws requiring paying for both rights to the song and it's performance/a particular recording, whereas if you use a soundalike you only pay for the rights to the song - plus whatever you pay the people who perform it for you. . . probably less than Radiohead).

Also, I failed to mention that Quentin Tarantino has finished the script for his latest movie ("Django Unchained" click here for the IMBd), which will be a spaghetti western continuation of the Django Saga...
Reputedly the most violent film ever made up until that time, the graphic violent content of Django (1966) was responsible for its being banned in several countries (it was rejected by the UK until 1993 and not rated in the US). Click here for some of the related titles.
The movie also spawned hundreds of unofficial sequels and was so popular in Germany that nearly every subsequent western of Django star Franco Nero has Django in the title (Via.) If you're unfamiliar with the first two installments (most critical to understanding Tarantino's) watch the trailers below.

Banksy x Danger Mouse
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Two Against One - starring Jack White.
Rome (2011) from Danger Mouse + Daniele Luppi "starring" Jack White and Norah Jones is coming out next week. Click here to check out two instances of pretty cool promotions going on for the project, one of which is an HTML5 interactive film ("3 Dreams Of Black) from Chris Milk, who did a similarly Google Chrome-optimized project for Arcade Fire. Take a gander below for the Banksy x Danger Mouse Paris Hilton take-down...
(Via.)
Over the weekend, British papers discovered that Banksy, the artist who notoriously sneaked fake versions of famous paintings into art galleries last year, replaced as many as 500 retail store copies of Paris Hilton's debut CD with a retouched and remixed version. Now, it has been revealed that Danger Mouse -- the producer behind Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, and the famous Grey Album -- is behind the remix portion of the disc. Along with completely reworked liner notes that included topless photos of Paris slathered with slogans like "Every CD you buy puts me even further out of your league," the CD featured remixes of Hilton songs by someone credited as "DM," letters that stand for Danger Mouse. The song titles were also changed to names like "Why Am I Famous," "What Have I Done," and "What Am I For." According to an email from his management company obtained by SPIN.com, Danger Mouse met Banksy in London while shopping for disguises. The two had one singular statement about the project: "It's hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try." (Via.)
