Kitchen-recommended surfing...
There's a ton of things I wanna talk about on this site but I am stupid swamped right now working on some other stuff so it might be hard for me to post as much for the next few days. So don't get mad if upcoming posts have content that's a few days out date.
In the meantime though, check out some of these Kitchen-approved alternatives below as well as any of the suggested links in the sidebar at the left:
The Blue Lemur - Progressive Politics and Media News.
Caffeine Low
Cowboyz 'n' Poodles
No Frontin' Just Music mp3 Blog
On & On
Operation Truth
RUSI - the Iraqi information portal.
Seattle Bird
Street Dreams
And for those who missed it the last time they were posted, here's some links to the new Mos Def & Snoop Dogg singles:
Mos Def - “Sex, Love & Money” Audio: win | real
Snoop Dogg (ft. Pharrell) - "Drop It Like It's Hot" (w/ Snoop drop and w/o): real | win | real | win |
And the "ex"-mod in me has to mention this one: Paul Weller, "Modfather" & Britpop elder statesman, remakes Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star" from his new all-covers album Studio 150 which also includes versions of Sister Sledge's "Thinking of You" (a track that's maybe in my top 10 singles of all time), Gil Scott Heron's "The Bottle", Aaron Neville's beat-digger favorite "Hercules" and Hendrix/Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." Dude always was kind of a closet soul boy and rare(-ish) groove fanatic (cf. covering obscure Anita Baker songs in his Style Council days) so his impeccable track selection isn't that surprising (even if the results aren't always equally as impressive). But that's what being a real mod is all about, right? (video clip via Video-C)

Slight addendum and a question for everyone:
OK, so Enuff's been bangin' a joint on his afternoon drive mix show for about three weeks now with an MC who sounds (kind of) like Chubb Rock mixed with Biggie spittin' the following chorus over a bouncy, happy, chopped-up vaguely 60's ska/reagge beat:
