Go get on board, sucka.
If just giggling at funny people for a few hours isn’t enough for you, here’s a show that promises to make you laugh and ease your liberal guilt at the same time.
After Ball Don’t Lie posted the follow up video, I realized that I never got around to posting the original. Anyone who likes basketball, hip-hop, video games or smiling will enjoy wasting a few minutes of their life on these.

This documentary film from Raymond Gayle examines “the struggles of the black rock musician and the stigma they face in the black community and the music industry.” It features tons of great performance footage and interviews with journalists and musicians like Angelo Moore of Fishbone, Vernon Reid of In Living Color, and Cody ChesnuTT. Although the film is a bit rough around the edges, it’s got a lot of heart and certainly tackles an interesting and timely subject. The success of bands like TV on the Radio (one white guy) and Bloc Party (fronted by a black guy) might signal a shift toward an acceptance of more rockers of color. Watch it here, or by all means go buy a copy.
And here’s the Saturday Night Live performance that first made me a Fishbone fan.

In addition to making kick-ass apparel and artwork, the folks at No Mas have apparently gotten into the kick-ass animated short business. Enjoy.
It’s a sad day for fans of basketball and hilarity. Bill Walton announced his retirement from broadcasting because of persistent back problems. I can’t believe that NBA fans will no longer be exposed to brilliant commentary like this anymore.
