Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

Kings of the Court

I literally cannot recall the last time I cared about pro basketball (in fact, just half an hour ago did I learn that the Seattle Supersonics no longer exist), but this is an awesome – and appropriately titled – set of pictures.  And also immediately brought to mind a song from when I most definitely *did* care about what was going on in the NBA:

Midweek Makeover: Early Start Edition

Lady Gaga.  Paparazzi.  Everyone knows it, even if they don’t know it.  And of those who do know that they know it, about 99% are probably sick of it.  So I won’t even bother posting it here.  And yet I promise you will listen to this cover the whole way through:

And Billy Bragg will be voting Lib Dem.   What has become of you, Labour?

Friday Music: Mash’n’Move Edition

M.I.A.: Born Free

M.I.A. first hit the scene in 5 years ago, to much acclaim (most of it completely misdirected, but still, it was exposure).  I jumped that train then, and have enjoyed the ride ever since. This new video – Born Free – brings a departure from her musical style, but heads straight down the political path her music has been on. It’s NSFW, and the conceit of it may be a little disappointing at first, but I’d suggest sticking with it.

Did you know they were Dutch?  Not me.  Now on to Big Audio Dynamite (II)’s Rush:

I think I wore out at least two cassettes of the RHCP Mother’s Milk album:
