If I were President Barack Obama (who just spammed me with an email subject: "We don't quit." I'd just outsource my state of the union address to Busta Rhymes and T.I.:
"Any situation where you might get FED UP
Gotta stay focused, homie keep your head up
It don't really matter what the next one is doin
Homie gotta handle your business and then you better STEP UP
Live to the fullest for the dream you're pursuin
Ain't nothin in the work gon' really stop what you're doin (OHH!)
Go hard no matter what they be sayin
Nigga don't quit cause you know we gotta keep it movin (OHH!)
Take a look and see yourself in me
Cause it's all about we (WE)
Me and you securin a win together
So we could be the best that we could ever be (OHH!)
Stay up on your grind, be the first one to - SET IT
People try to shut me down, I won't - LET IT
I'm so stubborn for the success
You know my motto - don't stop, get it, get it!

Tell 'em they're number one [repeat to fade]"

corporeality is a new blog by a good friend now located in buenos aires so please have a look.

I stumbled across an Icelandic singer named Heiða on myspace yesterday via Whale vs. Elephant who had applied to play at an art exhibit. Heiða only has two songs posted but there is just something really nice about the simplicity of the acoustic guitar and the sung Icelandic language...

YACHT tour diaries on SPIN earth TV.
I just like yacht. When Jonah (playing solo as "YACHT") opened the show in Berlin for Dave Shrigley's Worried Noodles he showed about 5,000 travel photos in a presentation in a matter of minutes during a sort of opening monologues, so more of that sort of tour documentation is very welcome. The BRAZIL video is very nice.
