playing catch up with media and stuff

[cali]

First off some music:

Artist: MIA Album: Arular Genre: Hip/Hop, with heavy electro, and international leanings Recommended Song: Hombre Download: full album

Some things you might want to know about M.I.A.: She was born in Sri Lanka and raised in London. Her dad was a Tamil Freedom fighter and her songs are heavily influenced by both her political background and ethnic identity. She's innovative and her sound is really hard to compare to anyone else's. Um. Lots of hipsters love her. But since I'd probably call myself a hipster if pressed, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Now: some other media:

[ Lance talking about a charity auction for hurrcane relief ] -- mpg, 30mb from pacific_gravity

[ The Brokeback Mountain trailer as aired on CNN ] -- wmv, 6.5mb from hackthis? I think?

Enjoy!

I'd totally be down for that. I'm living in the Sunset disctrict right by SF State, over in park merced. those pictures are here. I had no idea you were in the bay area too, how funny.

Sweet! Typically I'm off Thursdays and Fridays, but have a 12-5 class on Fridays. We could also get together when I'm in Colma for training - supposedly in the next couple of weeks. Call me and we'll figure something out.

Do you have plans for Serenty, yet?
