Brendan here. The Interrupters is the latest documentary from Steve James, director of 19942s Hoop Dreams - the first documentary I remember having an emotional impact on me. The Interrupters is similarly affecting. The film follows CeaseFire Chicago, a group of social workers, activists, and educators fighting against the tide of gang violence in Chicago. [...]

Just when we thought we saw the last of Michael Woods for awhile after a string of new releases , the tech maestro comes right back with a brand new compilation!

I'm just going to jump right into this post, this song and band is doing something different from the norm. The music has this swag about it all while being completely original. The UK band, Left Step Band , is drawing influences of reggae, dub, ska, hip hop, with a slight electro touch. The four members are looking to turn some heads, and I think they are on the right path. They recently release their new 3 track EP called, Rebels of the Frontline . The title [...]

Sent in from London, this band has an incredibly complete and encompassing sound. Composed of four members with a love for reggae, dub, and old school hip hop, this quartet aims to shift away from the traditional norms of hip-hip with a variety of different sounds augmented by their full line-up. To be honest, we feel like we can rock any crowd'. A big claim, but Left Step Band are a quartet with big personalities, big ambitions and massive, massive songs. Beyond anything else, Left Step Band is about good time music for good time people, [...]

The ever-prolific Madlib has set a heavy work schedule for himself in 2010. Alongside a bunch of releases under the litany of aliases he rocks, there's also the Madlib Medecine Show series, which will see the multi-faceted producer release an album a month throughout the year. How's that for putting the 'one album every three years' gang to shame? The third and latest installment in the Medicine Show series for 2010 is entitled Beat Konducta in Africa, and sees Madlib (along with some assistance from Mr Beat Junkie, J.Rocc) embracing [...]
From Boing Boing : The above piece about the "infantry immersion trainer" looks at the integration of virtual simulations into military training, as well as for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder after tours of duty. The weird part for me - well, the two weird parts - were that this training was also developed, in part, to "desensitize" soldiers to certain aspects of war. They say it is to lessen the effects and reduce post-traumatic stress. But all of the psychologists I've spoken with since then say it doesn't work like that - that [...]
