This entry is a two-parter: 1. This piece is inspired by 2010 Nobel Peace laureate, Liu Xiao Bo for his fearless non-violent struggle for basic human rights in China. 2. A group of protesters “celebrated” Mr. Liu’s award of Nobel Peace Prize outside China’s Liaison Office in Hong Kong. One protestor spilled champagne onto the [ READ MORE ]
I recorded this video of a beatboxer with my phone at a recent CocoRosie gig in Austin. It demonstrates clearly that you don’t need an instrument to make beautiful sounds, or to grip a crowd completely[ READ MORE ]
