Today winsomecowboy and I are joined by Mykola Bilokonsky, kymlee, Ryan Stolte-Sawa, and even Walt D and rwarner for a bit, by phone.
I went from living in my mother's house with a nuclear family of 10 to living with my boyfriend, to living with a roommate, to being married.
I spoke with Newsvine user Kymlee, also known as Kimberlee Morrison, on Sunday morning.
My mother named me Kimberlee Because she wanted to call me Kim So short and simple and pretty For her little girl She thought My mother named me Kimberlee A fortress, royalty, beautiful, Powerful, bright light All attributes I like So I became Kimberlee
The 27th annual Long Beach Ragga Muffins Festival in is this weekend, one of the largest reggae festivals in the US and quite possibly one of my favorite events of the year. For nearly 10 years I have been a festival regular, and this year will be no different…
For many hip-hop purists, there is a particular sound they have grown accustomed to hearing. Outside of this small box they will not consider anything hip-hop. However, like all other forms of art, hip-hop is about expression.
Killed at the height of his fame, Tupac Shakur's most popular works were recorded once he was signed to Death Row Records, and later, others which were released after his death. What many do not know is that Tupac was very much a revolutionary at heart.
Every year Long Beach hosts one of (if not the) the largest reggae festivals in the country and every year I attend. Last year Walt left a comment on my show wrap-up that sounded like he wished he was there.
Alicia Keys took the music world by storm in 2001 when she was discovered by music legend Clive Davis and released her first single Fallen.
I was so excited when I saw Stolte-Sawa's invitation to participate in a Newsvine Gift Swap; I love gift exchanges, especially those of the white elephant variety.
Many would say that the best art is borne out of angst and pain, and out of the emotional necessity to cathartically express and release anger and hurt. When Mary J.
Hip hop is one of the most controversial genres in music since the early ages of Rock 'Roll. In fact it would seem that mainstream rap is the new purveyor of the image of sex, drugs and…misogyny.
Amel Larrieux has spent most of her recording career being an underrated artist. In the mid '90s she debuted as part of the Hip-Hop/R&B duo Groove Theory whose sound was simple, melodious, edgy and incorporated a positive message.
The new CD by Ghostface Killah The Big Doe Rehab is a prime example of factory-made rap music. While the Wu Tang Clan is not usually considered mainstream because of explicit content that makes its music unplayable on airwaves, the members are definitely not underground.
M.I.A. first appeared on the US radar in 2005 with her debut LP Arular. Many critics commended her for the exhibition of political undertones and genre ambiguity. With her obvious hip-hop influences, M.I.A. could arguably be a leading hip-hop artist in overseas markets.
It took me a while to buy the 2006 release from the Arctic Monkeys "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not." I loved the first single, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor" but was convinced the fun of this hit couldn't last and that the rest of the LP wou …
Okay, I know I'm going to catch some flack for even watching the show...but I don't watch TV for intellectual stimulation, that's what I come to Newsvine for. For me television is like brain junk food.
Last week I attended the BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas, supposed the the first major trade show for bloggers and other new media industries.
Friday was the first time I had heard about Louise Ogborn's case against McDonalds, and when I saw the coverage on 20/20 I had some choice observations.
Vinemeet West: Why Newsvine is Not Just About Social Bookmarking and Networking (Part II)Imagine traveling across the country to meet people youd never met in real life to find that they would become some of your favorite people in the world. Imagine a virtual friendship, extended to the real world and a bond that most social networkers will never know.
One thing that stuck me as interesting, is that Cash informed me on the way back that the other Vinemeet attendees were quite nervous to meet each other. Kymlee's recent post confirms this, where she writes,
Vinemeet West: Why Newsvine is Not Just About Social Bookmarking and Networking (Part I)No matter what anyone says, Newsvine is not your typical social book-marking or networking site. As I discovered this weekend it is so much more.
In an idealistic world long ago, Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers had a dream of one day opening a school filled with teachers trained in the Freedom Writers (FW) Method, who would understand how to connect with their students and provide light to otherwise "hopeless" cases.
