† FROM DJ PAUL V.Last night here in LA, we got treated to a dazzling live performance by London's Little Boots, and we were all ready to dance! Aside from a seriously mind-blowing laser show, Miss Boots gave us everything we adore in cosmic, electro-pop: Gorgeous voice, big beats, bigger melodies, and sing-along choruses. Not to mention an epic, piano/voice version of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill as an encore, that had us mesmerized! Why Little Boots is not up there on the pop charts with tarts like Ke$ha is a crime. ...

What kind of comments can one find on the National Organization For Marriage's Facebook page? Well, mixed in with the standard talking points are things like.... The direct approach: The denial of gay people's moral compasses: The anti-American idea that takes the concept of a Federal Marriage Amendment to a whole new level: The obedience to NOM's strict instruction to not refer to marriage bans as what they truly are: The belief that we equality activists are just too dense to understand their <sarcasm> thoroughly intellectual and oh so highly nuanced </sarcasm> "protect marriage" stances: The familiar "gays = child molesters" meme: And ...

This 8-year-old girl performing Bad Romance and Paparazzi in a Brazilian talent show will give you a pretty good idea. I know I posted the video on Made In Brazil's facebook page last night, but it is just too freaking brilliant for me to not post it here.Clip via Katylene. ...

Fuck I'm glad I there was no Facebook when I was in high school. If I was mad at my sister I just threw things at her. And everything worked out great! (via Nerve) ...

Lately I have been reconnecting with many friends I have lost touch with. It was a random flood of friends who tracked me down in different ways. I have lived in the same city my whole life, in the same house for over 10 years and I have had the same cell number since the 90’s. And the same name if you are looking on Facebook! Not that it is hard to find me. I am everywhere but it is the fact they reached out to me. I believe people may come and go in our lives but they have changed our lives ...

When power lawyer and power philanthropist Becky Beaver invites you to her “cottage” for the first time, you smile indulgently. Surely she means the term ironically. But no. Beaver and husband John Duncan moved into a modest, bungalow-like house on busy Bull Creek Road, just north of 45th Street, back in 1980, when the neighborhood was a bit dicier and she had just started her firm and her family. Lynn Yeldell and Becky Beaver They never left. The former dairy included a creamery and well house, once part of an 100-acre farm. It really is a cottage, though. Additions to ...

Our reactionary, know-the-price-of-everything-and-the-value-of-nothing-Government has non-commercial, publicly owned service in its sights for destruction. Having a Minister in overall charge who made his loot in commercial radio, it's not surprising he's puppeteering the Broadcasting Minister (a medical doctor, go figure) to redirect the large market share public radio enjoys (no wonder given the aural crap on our airwaves) to his commercial mates.A Facebook campaign has been set up to counteract these retrograde moves, so unfortunately you need to be a member to join the campaign. Which I did temporarily until it is has been saved. ...

Sports blogger, author, and UMass professor emerita Pat Griffin reports that the NCAA's website is running ads (current ad pictured here) for anti-gay, anti-choice evangelical organization Focus on the Family, and has approved airtime for them on CBS during the upcoming tournament. Writes Griffin:  "Ok, we endured the Focus on the Family...Tebow anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl (along with a lot of other ads demeaning women). But now, NCAA.com, is also carrying a banner ad for Focus on the Family. I hear that CBS, the network that brought us the Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad, ...

by Bambi Weavil BW: It’s a pleasure to meet you Mark! We are excited about what you are doing with Liberation 2010 (Facebook, Twitter), this is the very first LGBTQ spiritual conference…..can you tell us how this vision of yours came about? Mark Anthony Lord: Great to meet you also. I will try to make the story short. When I was graduating from ministerial school back in 2003 I was holding two ideas for my ministry in my heart. The first idea was to found a spiritual center in the heart of Chicago that fulfilled my vision ...

"So how was your evening?" asks the black taxi driver, once I've told him where I want to go. His accent is immediately recognisable. He's Chinese."I just had supper with an old school friend who I hadn't seen for more than 25 years!" I reply."Amazing," says the cabbie, "did you just meet him again in the street?""It was through facebook actually! I suddenly got a friend invite from this guy who I used to be friends with when I was 11 years old :-). I wouldn't have recognised him if I'd just seen him in the street." Seeing ...

A friend of mine recently posted a story on Facebook. She’d heard it on NPR. A man was traveling for work in India and had to take anti-malaria medication. In in a rare side effect, he lost most of his long term memory. Everyone was a stranger to him- friends, family, all of his long term relationships ceased to exist. He was engaged to be married. During his recovery, when introduced to his fiancee, not only did he not love her- he could not conceive of loving her. All of this generated discussion about the impermanence of things. My Buddhist friend Gene ...

There are hundreds and hundreds of people out on the web giving advice on how to brand yourself. Pick your niche, create your brand and be clear. We all know the rules. Part of the rules and not to limit yourself. I have been told over and over again that I shouldn’t tell people I am gay. Why not just keep it quiet or it is something they will find out on their own. You do not need to tell people upfront. I am gay. I just did it again and why I did it, is because it is part of brand. It is ...

† FROM DJ PAUL V.If you come here to grab the new mashups, you probably noticed I don't feature many tracks with rap or hip-hop vocals. It's not because I don't like either, it's because many of them don't offer much artistry or push the mashup genre to another level. It doesn't mean they're bad, but I want y'all to hear the mashes that I think offer something a little bit extra. Now having said all that, this week's mashup features Yung Joc's It's Goin' Down rap set to Fireflies, the twee and sparkly breakout smash by ...
