In 1979, a relatively-unknown Philip Glass wrote music for an animated segment on Sesame Street called “The Geometry of Circles.”  It’s totally awesome.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - “Hanuman”
A strange thing happened to me this morning. As I was sifting through my unplayed podcasts, something emerged from my speakers that I wasn’t sure I’d ever heard before. It sounded like it rocked, it felt like it rocked, but it was early and I hadn’t yet had a reasonable amount of coffee, so I wasn’t sure my brain could be trusted. I asked a few friends with good music taste if my uncaffeinated brain was playing tricks on me, and as it turns out, I was right; this music rocked.
The rocking music in question is Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Mexican guitar duo with a flair for metal-infused flamenco. Yes, you read that correctly, they basically play acoustic Mexican folk metal. And it rocks. “Hanuman”, the lead-off track to the band’s latest record, 11:11 (which is a collection of 11 songs, each dedicated to a specific artist), is dedicated to Carlos Santana and features some breakneck guitaring with a Santana-esque feel. How could that not rock?

i know i just blogged about this yesterday, but tuneage seems to have a little more grace with words.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - video of Diablo Rojo.
Rodrigo y Gabriela released a new album a few weeks ago titled, “11:11”.  Since today is 11/11, i thought i would encourage people to go check out their music.  They are truly truly amazing.  The song posted here is off their first album, but you’ll get the idea.

A wonderful profile of NYC’s Reverend Billy Talen.  He’s a intelligent man, an effective progressive activist and a very clever performance artist.  There’s nobody else quite like him.

Rep Barbara Lee, you’re singing my song:

I remember the days of back alley abortions, and this amendment takes us one stop closer to those dark days. This amendment … attempts to dictate to women how to spend their own money. It is outrageous. It further places the religious views of some into our public policy. We’re a democracy, we’re not a theocracy. The separation of church and state requires us as legislators to never cross that line. This amendment crosses that line.

This lady is a badass.

This is my favorite scene in the movie.  It works really well even if you haven’t seen the rest of the film.  I love their performance of the song.

Can the video live up to expectations? If you watch all the way to the the end, then yes. Yes it can.

Oh, Jay Smooth, how I do love thee. Fucking rock star, this guy.

“… which means, Larry Johnson, that when you call that guy a “Christopher Street Boy” and you think it’s a clever way to call him soft and wimpy, you’re actually talking about people who are famous for winning a bar fight against a gang of cops.
You’re talking about the people who started a movement by showing the world that “gay” doesn’t mean “weak”.
You’re talking about people, Larry Johnson, that are way tougher and more courageous than you will ever be in your life.
That is who Christopher Street Boys are.”
-jsmooth

I want Jay Smooth to talk about everything ever. I’m going to email him lectures on particle physics and ask him to record commentary. I want my Google Voice account to have a Jay Smooth setting where he transcribes my voicemail and reads them back to me with awesome background music - or even better, he could just read back the comically inaccurate transcriptions Google does on its own. I want him to provide a first-person narrative voiceover for my life, like an old hard-boiled detective film.
Jay Smooth, will you…will you be my Morgan Freeman?

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE
I listen to Jay Smooth before sales calls.  Not only to get fired up, but to remember what we’re all doing here.
