Makin’ it Work w/ Spirit Animal
Back in the days when I was a teenager, Before I had status and before I had a pager, you could find the BG, listening to Gray Kid… ok, it hasn’t been that long, but it’s been a minute that I’ve been mesermerized by the pure talent of Steve Cooper aka Gray Kid and his [...]
Beats Rhymes and Life: ATCQ Doc
Just came from a screening and q&a with the director, Michael Rapaport’s “Beats Rhymes and LIfe: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest.” If you’re a hip hop head, having grown up in the 90′s listening to the likes of Tribe, De La, Jungle Bros., then this is a a film for you. As [...]
A Monument In Time
I've never been as enthralled by a website as I am by "A Moment in Time," a virtual venture by The New York Times Lens that is equal parts photo series, interactive art gallery, and crowdsource experiment. Everyone will find something to love in this treasure trove [...]
5 Online Resources You NEED To Be Using
The following websites are a curated selection based on hours of web time spent in ways not quite as useful. In an evermore complicated internet landscape of blogs, vlogs, networks, and languages, these sites will actually simplify your life. Amen. Check them out for yourself: 5. FreshDV A nice cross-section of expert opinions, tutorials, tech [...]
LOOSWORLD Presents… Noseferocktu
It’s actually happening… believe it. Urgent Content famlay, Looseworld is putting on a pretty uniquely sick event in NYC. They asked filmmakers to submit their work, and paired them with musicians to score the films and perform live. Should be a fun event, with the Street Carnage dudes hosting, and apparently Das Racist performing? Hmmm. [...]
Everyone says Das Racist is the new Ninjasonik
But they’re wrong. They’re the new Beastie Boys. Fuck it, I said it. They make ultra-intelligent, meta-modern, post-colonial electro-rap, disguised as stupid party jams. The fact that Fake TV was talking up their new mixtape, Shut Up, Dude, which is available for free download here, says a lot, because she listens to, like, no rap. [...]
Pictures in Motion: 3D Video Without the Multiplex
While most people associate 3D video with Hollywood blockbusters and $17 ticket stubs, in New York City over the weekend I was lucky enough to catch “Ouroboros: The History of the Universe,”–for free!–at the ISE Cultural Foundation in SoHo. The installation is an awe-inspiring 3D video environment that showcases the more poetic side of the [...]
surveillance, GPS and free stuff
There are so many cool elements to this campaign for Blu Dot’s high end “Real Good” chairs, it’s hard to know where to start. The basic premise is simple, Blu Dot and ad agency Mono planted 25 “Real Good” chairs ($129 each) around NY, covered by video surveillance and GPS/Twitter tracking. The chairs were free [...]
Pasta, a brew, and some Chat Roulette
Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m obsessed with CR. Before we started Urgent Content, the Bonrz crew (@faketv, @henrygoldman, @bjstein, and yours truly @the_bg) were contemplating a potential dating site idea… We went so far as to review the thesis of and meet with the author of a major paper on online dating and then subject [...]
Le Blogotheque in Africa
We like it… Le Blogotheque has consistently brought good vids to the forefront. Peep there new colab in Africa. Really fresh.
Hyper Local YouTube Stars
As I stepped out of my home on Saturday to a beautiful day, I smiled at the USPS delivery lady who was approaching me with mail in hand. My smile was topped by her shit eating grin, which was confounding, mail delivery people hadn’t been this nice since the 60′s. “You’re laughing at me, aren’t [...]
2010's Rubick's Cube… New Journalism
We really like what Leonard (Len) Witt is doing in the space of “sustainable journalism” as the Robert D. Fowler Distinguished Chair in Communication at Kennesaw State University (phew!), he’s chief blogger at pjnet.org. His interviews with academics and influencers in the space are off the cuff and worth checking out if you’re interested in [...]
Henry's Favorite Hip Hop Albums of 2009
1. Ghostface Killah – The Wizard of Poetry (super-underated. if only Hov waited til ’10 to dead autotune) 2. JPeriod & NNeka - The Madness 3. Zion I – The Takeover 4. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II 5. BlakRoc (likely candidate to be 2010′s Gnarls Barkley crossover equivalent, so enjoy it now, [...]
Any Travel Channel Academy Alumns Out There? ≤crickets≥
I’m trying to decide how sarcastic I want to be about this. Part of me is like, cool Discovery Networks, get those New York Film Academy* dollars, running fantasy-journalist-camp, for every naive moron who thinks being a travel journalist is actually a feasibly to avenue to living out dreams of professional wanderlust. I mean, its [...]
Act Like You Know: Visual Blog Posts Are Next
This is a dope phenomenon. Mashable cites it as one the 10 trends to look for in new media in 2010. I can already see it happening on blogs large and small. In fact, I don’t think it’s a question of if, but when, the default for blog templating includes a variable, rich-media interface, leaving [...]
Bron Bron
Looks like plaid shirts haven’t missed any sort of hip enclave of culture… It’s ok, because the Clipse and Cam’ron could wear footie pj’s and still be the coolest dudes on the block. Nobody can really pull off the “we’re just on the block chillin’ and this video cost us only $7k” swagger like these [...]
