Questlove On Bachmann Beef: “I Will Still Let The Snark Fly” [VIDEO]

Written by The Urban Daily on December 13, 2011 1:24 pm

During an interview with The Breakfast Club The Roots Questlove addressed the recent controversy over a song the band played on Jimmy Fallon to introduce GOP Presidential Candidate Michele Bachmann. After they performed Fishbone’s “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” as her intro music Bachmann demanded an apology from NBC, which the network and Fallon did.
Now NBC is asking to hear any songs The Roots plan to play before the shows air. But is this censorship of The Roots?

read more here from the Urban Daily



well Fishbone had their own take on the matter... a clip from their Chicago show
i think it's hilarious that Michele Bachmann doesn't expect anyone to hold her accountable for her racist and homophobic statements

Fishbone lampoons Michele Bachmann - praises the Roots

i love Fishbone! yes, when one make false statements about African-Americans and the LGBT community, expect a rebuttal.

John Taylor of Duran Duran presented with a copy of Mr. Peabody's Real Sound of Chicago and Beyond as thanks for support!

On Friday, October 21st, Duran Duran played Chicago on second leg of their North American tour. Paula Harris of Groove Parlor Tv presented bassist John Taylor with a copy of The Real Sound of Chicago + Beyond as a thank you for his kind words posted to his twitter & facebook accounts about Mr. Peabody Records' latest release. DJs Mark Grusane & Mike Cole felt it necessary to personally thank John for his support of their project, as he has 27,000+ twitter followers worldwide and posts regularly about his record shopping/digging experiences when on tour with Duran Duran. As a huge fan of the TK Disco label, Loft Classics and an avid indie record store supporter, he was quite impressed by the RSoC+Beyond listen links posted on BBE's page. Truly humbled by the love. 

from John Taylor - Duran Duran - October 21, 2011 Chicago:
"It's an absolute pleasure to support such an amazing project and to support independent record shops like Mr. Peabody Records."

Le Freak: @NileRodgers' autobiography excerpt from @NYTimes mag

i for one can't WAIT to read Nile Rodgers' autobiography. this ICON of modern music had a very colorful childhood to say  the least...here's a excerpt posted in the New York Times Magazine.


Excerpt from Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and Destiny

It took me a long time to realize that the things my parents did were not exactly normal. I was about 7 years old, and it was the tail end of the 1950s, when it started to dawn on me that they were . . . well, let’s just say they were different. For instance: my friends and I got shots when we went to the doctor and we hated them. But my parents stabbed themselves with needles almost every day, and seemed to enjoy it. Weird.

Most of my friends’ parents sounded like the adults in school or on TV when they talked. People understood them. My parents, on the other hand, had their own language, laced with a flowery slang that I picked up the same way the Puerto Rican kids could speak English at school and Spanish at home with their abuelas.

And then there was the matter of how they talked. My parents and their friends spoke this exotic language very slowly. There were other odd things. For instance, they often slept standing up, and this group narcolepsy could strike right in the middle of the most dynamic conversation. Someone would start a sentence: “Those ofay cats bopping out on the stoop are blowin’ like Birrr . . . ” and suddenly the words would begin to come out slower. And. Slower. Soon they wouldn’t be speaking at all. Eventually our living room would be filled with black and white hipsters suspended in time and space, while I ran through the petrified forest of their legs. My favorite game was waiting to see if the ashes from their cigarettes would ever drop. Somehow they almost never did.

I can still remember the day when I finally realized that there was a name for this unusual lifestyle. My parents were junkies! And their slow-motion thing was called nodding out. read more here

chocolate beauty @NaturiNaughton as Bunny Brenda - the Playboy Club NBC

score one for #teamdarkskin. finally a dark-skinned woman cast in a role as a 'beauty'

you know i have SERIOUS issues with black media outlets BET (BS Everyday Television) and non-black 'mainstream' media outlets NOT casting dark-skinned sisters in 'pretty-girl' roles. yep,  many 'liberal' white folk as well as the so-called industry blacks who run BET and occupy other power positions suffer from colorism + see us dark-skinned girls in one-dimensional roles - hello this is 2011! If u can't pass the paper bag test, you're relegated maid or domestic type 'mammy' & not  hot wife/girlfriend/beauty material. images are powerful. hopefully we can get to the day when black folks will eliminate the phrase "you're pretty for a dark-skinned girl" from our vocabulary and get over our colorstruck sickness. beauty does not automatically equal white/light-skin.

it's GREAT to see a dark-skinned woman with classical West African features cast in a 'pretty-girl' role + it's being filmed in Chicago. even though the Playboy Club is being marketed 'good fun/fluff tv', Playboy Enterprises really did change the culture and it'll be interesting to (hopefully) see that theme explored.
