POPSVideo: Joeski Love's "Pee Wee's Dance," 1986 I used to love this video. This is from back when hip-hop was about being crazy and having a good time, not guns and drugs. Watch it before it's pulled for DMCA violations or something. Check out Ice-T about 3/4 of the way through.

POPSMusic video: "Galang," by M.I.A. (a/k/a Maya Arulpragasam) London-born Sri Lankan painter, film and recording artist Maya Arulpragasam (nom de guerre M.I.A.) was Spin magazine's Artist of the Year in 2005. This single came out in 2003. Her music is controversial; her father was connected with the Tamil Tigers and she's expressed sympathy for the PLO. See http://answers.com/M.I.A.

POPSWelcome to the Substream summer concert series We're having a bunch of concerts on my roof this summer with some great acts! Each concert will feature acts from all kinds of genres- hiphop to drum n bass, jazz to punk, reggae to indie rock. The first of these concerts is SAT May 19th with two great indie glam bands (similar to that new stuff on the radio/MTV... sorry I'm not a big fan of rock but these bands are all the rage now in Philly) - Univox and Qwirk, a killer DJ (DIEFEX) and my two fave hiphop acts from Philly- The GreaseMonkeys and The Knowmadz! Click on the flyer image for more info and for Myspace links to the bands- they're GOOD- trust me, these are handpicked the best of the crop right now:
