Jerkin

Theirs this new dance craze slowly makin its way to the mainstream via Fairfax, California known as "Jerkin." It was originated by this high school gang who call themselves the Power Rangerz. I saw a couple of their YouTube videos, and being the young southern gentlemen I am I can always appreciate and commend swagger when I see it. And these high schoolers definitely have some swagger, plus I find the dance they do to be pretty cool, abstract and innovative. Ths dance, known as Jerkin, roots from this backward running-man like motion. And from this motion the "jerker" starts to express his style and way of which he "jerks." But now, Chris Brown is getting in on the action and has uploaded a video of him and Smiff(of the Power Rangers) jeking to this cool song. I think that Chris Brown will give this dance craze the exposure it needs to blossom into a certified movement and launch the Power Rangers into fame.

craWford - The Documentary

-Very interesting and insightful documentary I watched last night. A camera crew interviews several native citizens of Crawford, Texas leading up to George W. Bush's arrival in the small town and keep up with those same citizens throughout his presidency living there. This documentary conveys a credible portrayal of small town country life. And how an image, that is not authentic, can be constructed and projected to the masses. This documentary, to me, encapsulates the essence of Post-Modernism.

Throwback Radiohead Live

This is a throwback performance of their song "Climbing up the Walls" from the OK Computer album @ The Glastonbury Festival in 2003. OK Computer is one of my top 5 albums of all time.
