Whoa. I’m sorry I’m late but I am loving this video for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.’s “We Almost Lost Detroit.” Great cameos, great imagery for the new Detroit.

“IT’S EITHER YOU’RE READY TO BE THE CHEETAH, OR STAND STILL.”
New music video from Toronto’s MAGNOLIUS - ‘Selaron’
Shot in Aveiro, Portugal, the video’s director is the very talented Nuno Barbosa out of Dreamlab and writes that he was inspired by “the Gaudi-like style” that Jorge Selaron used in creating the famed mosaic tiled staircase, Escadaria Selaron, in Rio de Janeiro. “I looked for places that were grey or dismal so that I could bring them to life.”
Beauty in the blight.
The video is a prelude to MAG’s upcoming album “The Chosen Ones” and a looming US tour this summer. Don’t sleep!

2012 ain’t nothin bust a gangsta paarty.
Tupac/Tupac’s Ghost/Tupac’s image appeared as a hologram at this year’s Coachella. This is SUPER RAD for those of us that never had the chance to see him perform live. It’s a beautiful combo of nostalgia and new: technology can truly take audiences to new realms! I love watching how the hologrammed emcee moves on stage, and love even more how the audience reacts.
The danger here lies in the future of how we remember legends and icons. While it cost over $100K to produce, the concept behind it calls into question memorial traditions of yore. Tupac’s technologically-induced resurrection undeniably connects him to other ‘prophets’ who’ve passed, who to this day only exist in literary — better yet, imagined — reference.
Who’s next? MJ? And then what inner heart-wrenching turmoil will his fans endure? I suppose this kind of entertainment can only be enjoyed by suspending our disbelief…
And there we are. Yet again, allowing ourselves to believe it’s real for just a moment. Is it right?
