Up here in manhattan on (im on columbia univerity's campus) i dont see that many people wearing all black. I made sure to wear mine tho and i know down in bed stuy they are doing it. Some people may argue the validity of doing that as opposed to something more tangible, im of the mind that a show of solidarity is a show of solidarity. I'm sure that if alot of these people observing 'the blackout' (as i liek to call it) could donate more than their spirit they would, self included.
But from the people who are in the know rocking their black today i have recieved several nods of 'thats whats up' and that is whats up people. waking up with an egocentric purpose is a great thing but waking up with a broader sense of changing the your surroundings and focusing your actions is powerful.
So rounding out another week you have the VPND show. I would like to dedicate this show to the Jena 6 and Bobby Byrd. While we did mention the untimely passing of Mr. Byrd we failed to mention the injustice that is going on right under our noses. Roll over to lessondaryradio and check it out or you can click the cassette to go to our podcast home page. Feel free to drop us a line at vpndshow@gmail.com to let us know how you feel and send music or nudie pictures. Regarding the music we may play it, we may not but we will look at all nudie pictures (men need not apply LOL).

well the clean version that is, i havent heard it yet but the blogosphere is going CRAZY out there. Its actually not even that hard to find and i dont even have any piracy software on my computer. which leads me to my theory: kanye west understands online marketing on a level that not alot of other artsits do. i will flesh this theory out later if you want because i gotta run right fast but for those of you that get your hands on it feel free to discuss it in here..
***I TOLD YOU SO. READ THE COMMENTS. THIS IS THE BIG RELEASE DATE YALL BEEN ARGUIN ABOUT. GET YOUR JOLLIES NIGGAS. YOUR RECORD STORES ARE DINOSAURS

Oh yeah and here is the podcast. this week we did what we normally do, drink beer and play music lol. aint broke dont fix it right? i mean i got a few ppl requesting that we interview our rapper friends but we havent figured out how to take the show on the road just yet, besides us interviewing them would be less of an interview and more of just us sittin around laughing. that may be interesting tho.
