On Point: How to make it in America (HBO)

HBO's latest and probably best new show about the young and the reckless delivers on all counts.  You don't even need cable to watch it. Plus, it's got an amazing opening theme song (see below).  Which, oh by the way, is a Stones Throw Records track. What's not to love.

"Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style." - John Fairchild

Style. Some of us think we have it.  Some of us wish we had it.  Some of us have no clue.  Fortunately, a few are blessed with it. Style is James Dean in 'Rebel without a Cause'.  Fashion is the American kids still jocking his style today.  Got style questions? Wily Wiley has got answers.  Ms. Wiley's insight on all things style, plus tips on apparel, fashion, flats vs heels, darks vs pastels, etc., are essential reading for the stylish and non-stylish alike.

Silent Storm Sound System hits Boston with Silent Disco!

We are proud to be a part of TOGETHER - The New England Electronic Music Festival!

We are excited to present RECESS at the MILKY WAY in JP!

'Silent Disco' is a unique music/dance party experience where you hear the music only if you are wearing our special wireless headphones (provided at entry). Once you have them on, a quiet atmosphere instantly transforms into a raging dance party.

Silent Storm Sound System brings a totally different and dynamic way to experience music at a party which allows conversation while encouraging dance.

Be careful when following the herd,
or you could end up being another sheep led to slaughter.

The Tao of Bruce Lee: Cha-Cha, Ping Pong, and Pierre Berton

By Afolabi
bruce lee

Despite being one of the baddest martial artists to ever walk the face of the planet, i bet you didn't know that Bruce Lee was also the 1958 Cha-Cha dancing champion of Hong Kong before coming to the United States.  Here's a 17 year old Bruce in the 1957 Hong Kong film Darling Girl, plus some unbelieable ping pong ridiculousness, and one of his few interviews given in English.  Live life unlimited.

"...water can flow, water can crash..."

On Imagination

By Afolabi
stars

IMAGINATION who can sing thy force?
Or who can describe the swiftness of thy course?
Soaring through air to find the bright abode,
Th'empyreal palace of the thund'ring God,
We on thy pinions can surpass the wind,
And leave the rolling universe behind:
From star to star the mental optics rove,
Measure the skies, and range the realms above.
There in one view we grasp the mighty whole,
Or with new worlds amaze th'unbounded soul.

-Phillis Wheatley


-Bibio
