The election of Vancouver’s first Gen-X mayor comes at an auspicious moment, as the luxury condos that have come to define our skyline are now knee-deep in a great tide of misery that’s spilling in through the peace arch. While Hawaii’n-punch profiteers like Gordon Campbell seek to reassure us that we’re all snowflakes, the creeping proliferation of for-sale signs and the deserted holes of aborted mega-developments are harder to ignore than a pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Ice Cube: A Bird In The Hand

Classic pre-riots Cube with production from Boogiemen, samples courtesy of BB-King, James Brown, Parliament and The Five Stairsteps.

Documentary about men who have made life partners out of sex dolls. Amazing collection of ultimate weirdos.

This is a classic Ice Cube track. Glad to see it on the Publics. Before the “Are We There Yet?” films, Ice Cube was a rapper who perfectly walked the line between anger and acutely tackling the issues that were affecting Black America in the late 80’s/early 90’s. This song exemplifies his genius.
