Göran Hugo Olsson’s The Black Power Mixtape examines the evolution of the Black Power Movement in the black community and Diaspora from 1967 to 1975. The film combines music, startling 16mm footage (lying undiscovered in the cellar of Swedish Television for 30 years), and contemporary audio interviews from leading African-American artists, activists, musicians and scholars.

It’s on in London this weekend at Curzon Soho on Shaftesbury Avenue. Interested? You can see the trailer here.

It’s a Friday. Back on the Monkey Hustle, with it’s bass-riff heavier than a Geoff Capes, Giant Haystacks, John Candy monk cluster.

Don’t know what a monk cluster is? Seems Google doesn’t either. Use your imagination…

I’d have cast someone much more evil-looking to play the pope, but it’s a nice ad nonetheless.

Who would argue with the suggestion that everything is better with a gorilla?

Fantastic video footage of London from 1927. 1927! Bloody hell, that’s older than my nan (well she doesn’t have a birth certificate, but we reckon she was born in 1930).

Flake with that?

The99

The 99 are Muslim cartoon superheroes, each possessing one of Allah’s 99 attributes.

Religion and cartoons – not my cup of rosy, but the characters and illustration are intriguing.

Ribery

The Ribéry Pink Panther ad – a wonderful idea featuring a wonderful player (trust me, Bayern are pretty dicey without him). They’ll have a job on their hands convincing the average Sunday league player that he should wear pink footwear, but hey, full credit to them for trying.
