Steven Taylor — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:40:19 -0700

"I saw my dreams come true; I saw America changed by music." -- Harry Smith. [1]

Shamanic Hip-Hop

Propaganda Anonymous — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:41:33 -0700

LXOR's music immediately evokes the feeling of sitting in healing circles amongst a number of indigineous cultures simultaneously. But this circle is built from the cipher inherent within hip-hop. In other words, LXOR's songs cut right to the chase and provide the listener a glimpse of the essential rhythms found beneath powerful music.

Roger Ebert Speculates about End Times

Adam Elenbaas — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:53:22 -0700

The wave of 2012 films is slowly rising and M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening adds to the trend. His career has been controversial and Shyamalan tends to receive polarized responses from movie goers and critics alike (The Sixth Sense was immensely popular and hardly anybody remembers Unbreakable).
