| Description: |
Prometheus Brown breaks the media down like only a radical second-generation Filipino in America who survived the Reagan-Bush dynasty and raps for a living can. This is his attempt to sift through the sensory overload of pop culture, hoping that you will accompany him on the never ending mission to find diamonds in the shitstorm. Maybe even debate the difference between a diamond and shit. Maybe there isn't a difference at all. He raps for Blue Scholars, reps for Bayan-USA and believes, like Godard, that everything is cinema. Except, of course, most cinema. |

When all else fails, listening to old records and watching garbage TV always somehow provides refuge from the songwriting rut. Here’s an example.One: I was bumping some old Sade in anticipation of ... |
Gomorrah (Matteo Garrone, 2008)
|
I tried watching Gomorrah (hailed by some as “our generation’s Scarface” – even getting a quick Criterion DVD treatment) one night and fell asleep not long after all those dudes get murked in the t... |
