Permanent Tag: Music Rating: Hits: 36 Comments: 1 DJ Krush - Sun is Shining DJ Krush - Sun is Shining What is the significance of your name, DJ Krush? How did you get that name? DJ Krush: I didn't choose this name. It was given to me. When I was starting out in my career there were these two black artists who I knew in Tokyo, at that time I was working with my brother, and these guys said "Uh, you guys are a little off..." Those guys gave me the name Krush and my younger brother was called Bang. So it was Krush-Bang. Sounds like a car wreck, but that's how I got my name. What first drew your attention to hip-hop? Krush: In 1985 there was an event held by Wildstyle in Japan. They came to Japan and took over an entire floor in a department store. I was just amazed by them. Who and what are your influences? Krush: I listen a lot of different types of music. You know, rock , jazz, in addition to hip-hop, but what seems to connect with me the most is his-hop. So primarily my influences are what people now call the old style or Old school of artists, like Kurtis Blow. Those were my first influences. In terms of DJs, there's Grandmaster Flash, and DST., I think those were my first impressions (of hip-hop) and my first influences. Also my father listened to a great deal of James Brown and Miles Davis, so I?d been exposed to them from a very early age, so there are those influences, too. How would you describe your sound? Krush: Well it's just that I've listened to a lot of music over the years and I was raised in Tokyo and combining all those elements is expressed in my sound. It's that simple. What is expressed in my music is a result of those various influences. And hopefully my personality is infused in it. You know, the whole thing is just a combination of a lot of different elements that are me. What images and emotions do you want your music to invoke in the listener? Krush: What you're asking is what the person is thinking as they listen to my music? Well I think some people might listen to it, like hear my music and think "Wow, it's really weird." But someplace in-between, in some aspect or another, I hope that people appreciate it and like it. Do you see your music as a universal language? Krush: Well I don't know if I would use the term 'universal language' but if people listen to my music and they like it and get good feelings from it that's all that matters.

Headline Tag: Politics Rating: Hits: 540 Comments: 11 How to Lose a Trillion Dollars How to Lose a Trillion Dollars Put simply, there have been those who for the last decade or so have been busy sewing the seeds of this disaster. Republicans have been busy working for less market regulations, and now we get the bill for it. 3000 dollars per American. 12 000 dollars for a family of four. The regulators are there to ensure this sort of thing doesnt happen. They are insurance. You can always save money by not having regulators, but then you really have noone else but yourself to blame when you find that the unregulated market has run amuck. Whoever wins the next election is financially screwed. However it really doesnt make much sense to vote for a man like McCain, after all, it is primarily the policies this man advocated that are responsible for the current financial crisis. This has just cost me about 3000 dollars if Im lucky, my job if Im not. Not unlike Iraq really? Remember McCain, the military man saying before the invasion how it was going to be easy, sunni n shia never fought, we will be greeted as liberators etc? You cannot question the grit of a man like McCain, however being tortured does not count as experience at military leadership. Indeed it appears that on most issues on which McCain has expressed a military opinion, he has been critically wrong. This video is copyright free for educational purposes.
