Lightening Bolt

Ok, I have to be honest and admit that I don't know exactly what these guys are talking about, but what I got is that there is now a new dance called the "Lightening Bolt" that's modeled after Usain Bolt's post-race antics. I think.

Running Mates

"As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn't want his daughters or any children exposed to," campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in an e-mail statement Wednesday. "This song is not only outrageously offensive to Sen. Clinton, Rev. Jackson, Sen. McCain and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics."

Um, whoa.

Ludacris - Politics as Usual

Just Text Me When You Ready

Seattle artists, Stretch and Eclipse, (AKA Parker Brothaz) put out one of the funniest song I've heard lately! Tons of texting acronyms. And it's star-studded too, Big Pooh and Talib Kweli chime in on their texting habits. "Love is free, but my phone bill not." Tell me about it.

Ani Difranco - Shameless (live in Philadelphia, May 2008)

Hot!

If you are wondering why there haven't been more posts on Detonate lately, well, it's because it has been way to f-ing hot in Portland. 102 degrees hot. Too hot to do anything, especially blog.

Brandon's Knee

I just about lost my shit when I found out that Brandon Roy was undergoing knee surgery today, but the surgery was successful and Kevin Pritchard says B.Roy is going to be OK. Close one. Feel better soon, Brandon.

No Detonate Tonight

Boo for Beavers. Deanne Rhymes is going to see the Portland Beavers tonight and so there will be no Detonate. I know, I know. Calm down - I'll be back next week.

Until then, check out some new shit:

Blu

All I know is that this artist Blu's wall painting animation is one of the most amazing things you will see on the internet.

Paris For President!

You Either With It Or You Not

I was driving in my car today and this Mystic song came on that I hadn't heard in a minute. This was my jam back in the day (and btw its a total feminist anthem). If you haven't heard it, you might be amazed. This one is for all my independent women out there. Word.

Mystic - Once A Week



And Part II - I came across this DJ Chela remix of Mary J. Blige's "Work That" Ft. Mystic.
