I haven’t posted music videos in a long time…but these two are really worthwhile…!
Coldplay just released the video to their latest single from the Viva La Vida album – “Lovers in Japan” (actually my favorite song of the album).

In addition, last night Coldplay posted a video to the recently released “LOST” single, which features a version featuring Jay-Z. Pretty cool!

I was over in the U.S. a few weeks back and saw this really interesting and impressive documentary on HBO.
In “The Black List” 22 prominet Afro-Americans tell their own story and reveal insights into the struggles, triumphs and joys of black life in the United States. Each of them speaks for approx. 4-5 minutes and is filmed in front of a simple grey screen.

The documentary also is the hub of the “The Black List Project“:
“The project celebrates the diverse experiences of being black in America and maximizes the power of these stories through a range of activities, including: a traveling museum exhibition of photographic portraits, organized by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; an upcoming book of photographs and interviews, published by Atria, a division of Simon & Schuster, New York; and a national interactive, curriculum-based educational program. “The Black List Project” is produced by Freemind Ventures, a New York-based media collective, and is the pilot program to the larger Freemind initiative “One Million Stories.”
I really like this documentary as it covers members of the Afro-American community from so many different lines of work. From what I understand HBO is working on a Volume two that will have more political and also social leaders in it. Looking forward to that!
