The Golden Institute
Sascha Pohflepp - The Golden Institute from Plugimi on Vimeo.
The Golden Institute by Sascha Pohflepp.
How do we decide which worlds come true and which worlds are discarded? While we are typically thinking in terms of novel possibilities or scenarios set in different futures, it is rare to attempt an imagined past that might have led to a different present. Positioned at the right spot in the past, such counterfactual histories might offer an understanding of the forces at work as well as a fresh perspective on our present challenges.
The Golden Institute for Energy in Colorado was the premier research and development facility for energy technologies in an alternate reality where Jimmy Carter had defeated Ronald Reagan in the US election of 1981. Equipped with virtually unlimited funding to make the United States the most energy-rich nation on the planet, its scientific and technical advancements were rapid and often groundbreaking.
Its scope ranged from planetary engineering to the enabling of individual participation and profit from the creation of electricity. Notable projects include the development of the state of Nevada into a weather experimentation zone and the new gold rush in the form of lightning-harvesters that followed, or major modifications made to the national infrastructure in an attempt to use freeways as a power plants. The institute’s vision continues to inform the American consciousness to this day. In relation to energy preservation and harnessing, but also in terms of man’s relationship to the forces of nature.

Young Con Anthem "conservatives "
Yeah. These dudes are serious.
Stiltz & Serious C are the two founders of the thriving Young Conservative Facebook group. With a knack for conservative views and hip-hop, the mic naturally called their names to duty. In a day where conservatives are seen as close-minded and archaic, these fresh new rappers bring an enlightened perspective to a long-standing philosophy. The mile-high beats of Josh Riddle collide with the eastern flow of David Rufful to produce a dynamic fusion of hip-hop with a real, profound conservative message. They stand as a bastion of progress in the liberal stronghold of an Ivy League school, standing by their message amidst constant adversity. Instead of sinking into the assemblage of the self satisfied, Serious C & Stiltz energize our hearts and minds with lyrics that challenge our ideas of the current evolution of the American society.

They Trans-forced my hand!
...smh
After reading all these horrible reviews for this movie, hearing about these fucking illiterate shuck and jive ass sambo-bots, I've decided not to spend $10 on this movie. And, I'll do my part to see that this movie doesn't take your hard earned pay either. (see Save Your 10 bucks below.)
TRANSFORMERS' LITTLE BLACK SAMBOTS?
Save Your 10 Bucks!!!
go buy that Mos Def!!!!
REVIEW Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
First off as a fan of the original series, I really loved most of this movie. It is bigger, louder, and more over the top than the first one. The writers do a great job of weaving the series' mythology into this film. The interaction between the main Transformers from the original series is excellent. On the technical end the movie is much better this time around because unlike the first film there are actually wide shots of the robots in action. There is a battle scene in the middle of the film between Prime and three Decepticons which is damn near worth the price of admission on it's own. It does clock in at almost two and half hours but there are never really any lulls in the action. The violence & profanity was also really ramped up which in my eyes is a good thing because explosions and curse words make things more exciting, but take that into consideration if you are going to take little kids with you. Now that that is out of the way I have to address the over the top racial stereotypes in the film. I know it is a Michael Bay film and I should not be thinking so hard but it was almost a theme in the movie. The writers seemed to have a problem giving many of the characters both robot and human, personality without turning them into racial/ethnic stereotypes. I have to give the witters credit they found a way to get in racial jabs on Italians, Germans, Chinese, Jewish and the Scottish people. Also, in their world the entire middle east is stuck in the year 1388 and none of the women weigh more than 115 pounds. The flat out worst was the depiction of the Autobot twins Skids and Mudflap or as I referred to them after I left the movie Step And Fetch It. It was like Tyler Perry took of his dress and dressed up as two robots. If the broken English and all of the verb splitting were not enough, one of the robots has a gold tooth and neither of them can read. I hated both of these characters so much I got excited when I thought they were going to get killed. These two clowns get more screen time combined than series favorites Sideswipe and Arcee and Soundwave. What is really sad is that these two characters will put a bad light what is a top notch summer popcorn flick, and instead of talking about Optimus Prime vs Megatron, it is going to be Mudflap & Skids vs. The NAACP.
What is really puzzling about the writers getting this so wrong is that the source material for this film is a cartoon from the early 80's when America still had more insensitivity about it's racial baggage. Sure in the original show Jazz & Blaster were clearly both black, Percepter was English, Wheeljack was Jewish and Sunstreaker was a homosexual (OK the last couple may be a stretch but bare with me). That said if you look back at the old show none of it comes close to being offensive.
As a fan of the original cartoon & comics I enjoyed the movie and would love to give it an A-, but as a thinking person who understands how irresponsible some of this imagery is I have to knock it down to a C+. The next time I see this movie it will be on DVD when I can use my remote control to leave these two mistakes on the ctting room floor. Jar Jar Binks you may go home now Skids and Mudflap are here to relieve you of your duty.

The Last Airbender
ok Mr. M.Night Shyamalan. If you mess this up, I going to open a can on you. Avatar is one of the top 5 cartoons ever made. They must do this justice or I will have lost my faith in movies again.
DJ JS-1 on Regis and Kelly...oh word!
This is great. Hip Hop on Regis and Kelly. DJ JS-1 does and dope routine and then drops some hip-hop jewels on the crowd. I'm so glad they gave the guy a chance to talk. Many times you don't get a chance to hear a DJ's perspective on things. Most of them are pretty interesting people. Well, a couple of them at least. Check this video out and go cop his new record in stores today!

Gossip
Honestly, I'd never listened to one of Gossip's songs until this one(except the little snips they had between shows on MTV for a while there). I can't really say much about the band except that the lead singer, Beth Ditto has a great voice and this song/video is pretty cool. This is the 1st single off their new album "Music For Men" which is scheduled for release 6/23/09 and was produced by RICK RUBIN.
Com.Dot feat.Nightriders - Pushin Dope (J.Brookinz Remix)
Here it is Gunners!!! The Pushin Dope remix. I told you it was going to be a hot summer! The song features Com.Dot (a Heavy Gun favorite), the NightRiders (a super dope group)and J.Brookinz (producer extraordinaire).So, don't waste any time and download this now!!! I promise this song won't disappoint. Just make sure your speakers can handle it.

Fuck Music!
Jonas Brothers and Common???
I was never one to hate on serato when it came out. But playing out on a regular basis I'm tired of hearing remix after remix with fat man scoop on the vocals.The vast majority of DJs I have met don't know what the fuck those little black disk are. I don't know maybe it just been where I have been playing? I hate to sound all uppity and nostalgic but damn.I just miss the other side of DJ...the aspect of not playing already heard popular music, and finding shit no one has and just kicking it in the brotherhood of DJs. Whoever came up with "mash-up" should be shot and dragged down a stone road. Everything is wanna be electro or bmore now days. what happened to when bmore was grimey under produced-ish. I'm sorry but you are not Girl Talk so stop trying. Music is so garbage right now.I have tried for years to not say that. When was the last time you could listen to a WHOLE album??? And what happen to when a remix was a remix not just sped up or just adding Lil Wayne and 50 other motherfuckers to the SAME SONG. If I hear one more grown ass person talk about "turning their swag on" I'm going to fucking shoot them. Who fucking nows maybe I just miss this days at IU when DJ Sleeper was my next door neighbor and I could hear him scratch weird ass sounds at 3 am while I was downloading videos of DJ qbert off bearshare. I kept the laptop at home last night and broke out 8 crates of nothing but the fast ghetto-tech Detroit shit...it felt nice. It felt liberating.
Makes me want to go back to the D-city and just see 2,000 folks get flippin freaky all damn night long

JAMS! JAMS!! JAMS!!!
JAMS a DeeJay/Producer has done remixes for Trash Yourself, Hollywood Holt, Flosstradamus & Toxic Avenger and has played most major cities in the US. parties played include: DANCE, MisShapes, Blow Up, Blow Up LA, Dark Wave Disco, TRASH, Electronic Music Festival '08, Frisco Disco, LIVE FOREVER, Lollapalooza parties, and many more. I (Grey Granite) recently got the chance rock the mic with him in The Natti and Had to ask in some questions for the GUNNERS!
HG: so why are you such a bad ass? I think it's all in your attitude, explain the Jesse Jamz attitude.JJ: i smoke a lot of rock and drink a lot of red bull... how else you think i keep this swag. but to be honest i'm not really sure. i guess you could say "i be myself" which probably sounds lame as fuck haha. i really just try to always have a good time and not give a fuck. i definitely am always making fun of as much shit as possible and trying to keep myself and others entertained and laughing. i mean we might as well party and be silly while we can... and i'll make this shit last for as long as i can.
HG: how would your brother describe what you do?
JJ: i'm not really sure... i guess he would say i'm just trying to pursue my dream to be a successful dj and producer. me and my brother definitely get along really well and it's always nice to have support from family and friends.
HG: what is your biggest pet peeve while dee jaying?
