All was good at the Shoreline Amphitheater this past Saturday: the Bells were Rocked, although a little softer than last year, the Low End Theory was there, they wrecked shop, Pharcyde proved they are still the niggas in charge, Meth got his crowd surf on, Nas got a bit of rock star swagger and Naeem Juwan has earned a spot on my coveted Freaky Black People I Fuck Wit list. Overall, the people were pleased. Check the pics below and more over on the Oakbook website.
So in my previous post I wondered about the death of Cult. Crit. as posed in this piece from the SA Times.
It’s an interesting article but the more I think about it, and with the help of some smart journo friends, I really have to wonder just which medium the author is most well versed in-probably print. He dismisses blogging in just a few sentences, the same way old school print journo’s did until print started to going to shit. Then they started dissin’. But let’s be honest, there’s some great analysis going on in the blogosphere, right along with all the BS.
The thing I’m wondering is are there any other examples of criticism happening in other aspects of the web 2.0 world. Is there someone on Twitter dissecting the fuck out of life in 100 words or less? Are there myspace commenters who provide a deeper insight into the way we live? Is there some camera phone activist out there who’s vlogging the most amazing 3 minute analysis of the last night’s Jay Z/Bloc Party/Dragons of Zynth show all over Vimeo? (more…)
