I was watching TV and noticed that for as long as I have lived in the Northeast, Subaru commercials are always awful and low budget. I decided to surf around and see if there were any exceptions to the rule; that weren't dubbed to cheesy music showing a station wagon tearing through a mud puddle.
I found one:
Ha ha this is exponentially better than watching Paris Hilton "eat" a hamburger whilst washing a car. I'm not saying it's not immature but it's better than the rest.
I hope to actually see this on TV and not just the web. What do you think?

The Hebrew Mamita
There's this film I'm obsessed about right now, The Tribe, and it features this ill slam poetry by a Miss Vanessa Hidary. The Tribe traces the history of Barbi and
So after some quick Google research I uncovered a gem of her work PhD in Him:
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a fan of spoken word or slam poetry. But, THIS piece conveys something EVERY woman can appreciate. I'm going to try something new and check out one of her upcoming performances.

Stuff I'm Not Supposed To Be Celebrating
Although this is a period of mourning for many of my Heeb brethren here's what I'm celebrating:
1) Starting my internship at MKG Productions tomorrow.
2) The new Al Green album- Lay It Down that I downloaded for $8.99 from Amazon.
3) My friend Missy Goldstein relocating to NYC this Friday.
4) Last night's Flash Dance Skate Party at the Dreamland Roller Rink in Coney Island. Click here for pictures which should be up by Monday at the latest (I hope).
5) Finishing the dark and hilarious When You Are Engulfed By Flames by David Sedaris.

remix culture = artistic growth
I've been meaning to blog this for a while Good Copy Bad Copy is a documentary about copy right law and remix culture. This video is a perfect education tool, and contains interviews from both the suite-types and the "offenders" themselves. Great commentary from Danger Mouse, Girl Talk, and the Pirate Bay guys.
"Freedom actually drives a more vibrant economy than restriction and control."

Camel Jockey
I can't stop thinking about it. On the quest for more information I found this summary on Wikipedia:
"Camel racing is a popular sport in the Arab States and Australia. Professional camel racing, like horse racing, is an event for betting and tourist attraction. Camels can run at speeds up to 65 km in short sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40km for an hour.
Camels are often controlled by child jockeys, but allegations of human rights abuses have led to nationwide bans on underage labor in the UAE and Qatar. Recent controversy over the enslavement of children has led to increased use of robot-controlled camels.."
Ok so robot jockeys sounds like a good solution right? WRONG! Further research reveled this on Wired.com:
"...Islam forbids representations of the human form: The robots could be considered graven images, inducements to idolatry."
Now none of this makes any sense. I'm pretty sure the Koran forbids gambling. Isn't that a more serious infringment than making a robot look semi human? Thoughts?

New GZA download hurr!
Paper Plate Dub
Get it while you can!
You know why I love hip hop? Because in an age of political correctness rappers get to be as un-PC as they wanna be and it only IMPROVES their sales. The game of hip hop is one of capitalism, and in an age where corporations spend millions of dollars on advertising campaigns re-branding themselves, or on PR tactics to serve as damage control rappers just keep the controversy coming.
Another fine example of this, dare I say marketing tactic, is Kelis & Nas's fashion statement at the Grammys.
In conclusion, props to GZA for putting 50 on blast. Fuh-Fuh-Fuh-Fuh-Fuh-Fuh FLEA UNIT!

Camel Jockeys
If this wasn't such a gross human rights violation I would be tempted to think this was funny.
The trafficking and exploitation of South Asian and African children as camel jockeys has burgeoned in the Gulf states, which, with the discovery of oil and the associated surge in wealth, transformed camel racing from a traditional Bedouin sports pastime to a multi-million dollar activity.

Most Esthetically Pleasing DJ Set-Up Ever
From Berlin Germany, Metrofarm Studio has produced a number of stunning, custom built DJ Desks. Having released a concrete DJ table a couple of years back, the new desks, in folded stainless steel and wood painted black and neon orange demand attention. But they're not just for finely tuned vinyl slingers looking for the perfect ergonomic ratios to heighten their musical flow. They're for anybody with a musical mind and an eye for detail, looking to add spark to a lounge room, club or gallery. It's art for the DJ's sake.
