Pete Seeger turned 90 yesterday. I posted a slew of YouTube favorites on my tumblr last night in tribute to him. I capped them all off with this one.
I hope you had a great party, Pete. Sure looks like you did.

I recently discovered Jewish African-America hiphop artist Y-Love. I started taking to him on twitter, and he pointed me towards this awesome “Nat’l Jewish Population Survey-inspired hiphop.”
If you’ve been catching some of the buzz around Songs in the Key of Chanukah, then you’ve seen Y-Love before, over here:
I also recommend checking out Y-Love’s blog.
Happy Chanukah (and Merry Christmas to my Christian friends)!
This video short about the Old Negro Space Program provides yet another vantage point from which to consider the recent US election. It was a different time. More info available here.
Folks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and
keep on cryin'
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world
clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
