Jay-Z, Where I’m From, 1997

An interesting internet project concieved for all of the right reasons, to prove a friend wrong. Norwegian Ola Helland is setting out to collect 1 Million human-created giraffes (no computers) because his friend Jørgen doesn’t believe he can do it by 2011. That’s a lot of giraffes. All he really needs to do is tap into elementary schools across the globe. Submit your own and support the fight to prove a friend wrong!

Do The Right Thing turns 20, it also means Public Enemy’s Fight The Power, is also 20 years old. The film and the song brought attention to the racial divide that in America. If you never seen the film please do, it’s Spike Lee’s masterpiece, and it still holds up and asks the same powerful question.
Spike Lee and the movie’s cast – Danny Aiello, Joie Lee and Rosie Perez – as well as Common, DMC, Branford Marsalis, Gloria Reuben and others will be on hand Monday night at the DGA Theater in Manhattan for a special screening of the movie. Via

Stoned Wallabies made crop circles (waiting. for. video.)
