Coloured is better

Good morning,

Watch this.  It’s hilarious. Don’t think about it too much about it though. Just laugh, and continue with your day.

White people dance like this, black people dance like that

Yes, I shamelessly and unapologetically jacked the idea for this post from that TAN dude, but it’s a fuggin brilliant idea, so there. Imitation=flattery and all that…

So dig it: this little slice of minimal excellence is straight  from the Berlin based mind of  electro producer Squarespace. A little B-boy, a little modern, a little Fosse, a couple pencil skirts and some skinny ties.   So clean and sharp, with a controlled boogie and bubbly aftertaste.

Then we have this. Read the rest of this entry »

Video for the Strange: Buju, Parliament, Miles and the gang…

Buju Banton, Wanna Be Loved

Props to the wonderfully cute and big brained Etta Strange for the inspiration. We were talking the other day and she surprised me by playing this Buju vid, hands down one of my favorite songs of all time. So in her honor, here are a few vids that I love, that she loves and that you’ll love after viewing. Enjoy.

New Sharon Jones vid & old Betty, Fontella and Dinah

 

 

This is the new video from Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings song “100 Days, 100 Nights”. I’ve always been a fan and the way they shot this works perfectly with the song.

The video brings to mind a lot of old soul-that funky, moanin’,  good lovin’ that hurt so bad kinda soul, so I threw in a few Jones predecessors doing doing there thing.  A little Betty Davis, Fontella Bass and Dinah Washington.  Enjoy…

Sage Francis will b-boy all over your ass.


In keeping with the dance theme, I offer this gem. Apparently Sage was at the Epitath Records HQ, probably drinking bub and smackin bitches-like any proper hip hop star-when somebody challenged somebody else to a dance battle.

 

This hilarious mess is the result.

 

I dug Sage Francis a lot during the spoken word years when he running around as part of the Non Prophets. He dropped an album earlier this year and this vid makes me want to see what he’s been up to. Looks like he’s still being…creative.

Do your dance dude.  Do your muthafuckin’ dance:

Me in 140 characters

Welcome to the Boothism Blog-

A left coast, black futurist take on art, life, culture, and randomness.

Heavy on the randomness.

boothismprofilefanlarge


My name is Kwan and I write things.

Features, news and essays, fiction, poems and collateral, marketing strategies and bits of conversations, genius words of inspiration and dada nonsense couplets.


It's a bit of an addiction.


But it helps to put things in perspective

And so far it pays the bills.

But you're not here to pay the bills are you? If you were, you'd be over here. Where I write for the big bucks.


You're here to get some of those not so random words aren't you?

I can see it in your eyes-the deep longing, the searching, the need.


It's okay, really. That's why I'm here too:

-to toss sentences into the air and see what soars

-to chase ideas with butterfly nets

-to figure out the what's and why's

-to find out the who's and when's

-to grab all the little slices

-and wrap arms around the big questions.


I think you'll dig it
