In celebration of its 10th anniversary as an independent label and hip-hop collective, Hiero Imperium announced details for a massive North American tour that will span from mid-summer into fall, joining with Blue Scholars who have been lighting up the underground coming out of Seattle. As creators of classic music and trailblazers in the entertainment business and technology fields, the Hiero crew and label have grown to represent more than just hip-hop music. Since its inception in the late 70's, hip-hop culture has permeated mainstream consciousness and its influence has infiltrated fashion, sports, and entertainment on a global scale. Combining elements of fashion and music, The Freshly Dipped Tour is a nod to Hiero Imperium's prolific past ten years as indie hip-hop industry leaders a

Good afternoon! If you are a fan of DooWop and Rhythm & Blues Vocal Group Harmony (as I am), record collector, and/or musical scholar than I am sure you love to feast on knowledge such as discographies. The expert on this sort of thing is Robert Ferlingere. He has published 4 editions of his tome A Discography of Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll Vocal Groups: 1945-1965. The last edition was published in 2002 and was hardbound in two huge volumes. In the past five years there have been tons of additions and corrections made to Ferlingere's database and he does desire to publish a 5th edition which includes these. However before he will go to the printer he needs to have 100-125 prepaid orders. Each published product would cost between $100.00-$125.00 each. He wants to know

The Darul-Uloom Deoband in India, considered the most influential school for Islamic law in Asia, on Monday denounced terrorism as being against the teachings of Islam and said it was likely to impose a fatwa against it during a conference of clerics from India and abroad, media reports said. The head of the powerful seminary, Maulana Marghoobur Rahman, said terrorism was completely wrong and thoughtless, and contradicted Islam's concept of peace, the NDTV network reported, quoting from his address to 10,000 clerics from religious schools - known as madrassas - and foreign delegates.Speaking at the institution, some 150 kilometers north of New Delhi, Rahman also criticized the Indian government, saying that policing of madrassas and students was unjustified and went against the secular cha

AKI - Scholars who met in the Indonesian capital Jakarta to discuss Islam and the environment, have concluded that Muslim values support Indonesia's efforts to face its environmental challenges. The dialogue was held on Wednesday at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) in cooperation with the British Embassy in Jakarta.The director of the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES) in England, Fazlun M. Khalid, said that in contrast to common misperceptions, Islam was more than a ritualistic religion; Islam also provided universal values that underlined the importance of maintaining a balanced interaction with nature. He said Islamic teachings helped position human beings as the khalifah or administrative deputies of God on earth."Ulemas in Indonesia are way ahead ... in translating the sharia into fatwa (religious edicts)," he said. Khalid also said Indonesian ulemas issued many Islamic edicts that affirmed various environmental problems, including

I was exposed to hiphop in high school and since then I couldn't ever listen to the radio garbage gangster rap ever again. The "it has a good beat" just does not cut it for me. We listened to the likes of Planet Asia, High & Mighty, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Heiroglyphics, Tribe, Beat Junkies, De La Soul, Pete Rock, Company Flow, MF Doom, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, J5, Dilated Peoples, etc. etc. It's struggling now as the big shows don't give much room for new artists; Just a bunch of struggling acts with much much talent. One such talent is Seattle's Blue Scholars who've been up since '02. Through a thriving underground hiphop scene in Seattle and nearby Portland to a much talked about prevalent duo on the net & print, Geologic and Sabzi are exposing ears to a serious scenery of hip hop.

The Center for Southeast Asian Studies of Kyoto University is now accepting applications from scholars and researchers who work on Southeast Asia, or on any one of the countries in that region, and are interested in spending time in Kyoto, Japan, in order to conduct research, write, or pursue other scholarly interests in connection with their field of study. Since 1963, more than two hundreds distinguished scholars have visited the Center for periods ranging from six months to one year. They have availed themselves of the Center’s considerable scholarly resources and the invigorating atmosphere of scenic Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan and the main repository of the country’s cultural treasures, to pursue their interests in Southeast Asian area studies. The Center’s multi-disciplinary character and the diverse research interests of its faculty offer visiting scholars an ideal opportunity for the exchange of ideas and the cultivation of comparative perspectives.

So once again I missed Spoon. I just had to check out Portland’s new favorite hip hop sons, SandPeople. Judging by the reaction from the floor of this sold out venue these guys are going to give Portland’s Lifesavas a run for their money. The video is grainy but worth watching. And right after SandPeople Seattle’s The Blue Scholars killed it too. Here’s video from the side of the stage and video from the audience POV. And just in case you’re wondering “what’s up with all this hip hop?” Tonight is alt rock night for me - Rilo Kiley, The Upsidedown, Typhoon and Eskimo & Sons. Stay tuned…

Thanks to Sandra at Concerned Tennessee Citizens, I learned this latest news from the National Iranian American Council:President Bush announced today that he has authorized US forces in Iraq to confront Iran militarily. "I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities," Bush said in a speech to US war veterans in Reno. Simultaneously, US forces raided a hotel in Baghdad and detained ten Iranians who according to a U.S.-funded radio station included members of an Iranian negotiation team.This move comes amidst a campaign by the White House to escalate the rhetorical war between Washington and Tehran, in which the President has taken concerted new steps toward war. This flurry of rhetoric has largely rung hollow in the halls of Congress, as members are away for summer recess. While Congress has been gone, the harshness and frequency of the rhetoric from both sides has steadily increased. Last week the Bush administration announced its intenti

When fall classes start at the University of Central Florida later this month, the booming state college will mark a few milestones, both academic and athletic. Administrators expect to welcome a record 43 National Merit Scholars among the estimated 47,000 students who will begin classes Aug. 20. That would place UCF among the top 50 universities in the country for merit scholars. Last year, 27 merit scholars attended UCF. And come September, all UCF students will have the chance to watch the Golden Knights football players in a 45,000-seat stadium just built at the back end of campus, where a new 10,000-seat basketball arena and concert venue also is ready for the masses. Surrounding it all is a Main Street USA-type development featuring 2,000 dorm beds, restaurants, an ice cream parlor, a Barnes & Noble and even a soon-to-open English pub.

Just when you started to think that Bush couldn't fall any lower, something else comes along. It seems like this trend has been going on for far too long, doesn't it? Because the Libby story is so hot, another interesting story is receiving insufficient attention. Last week, President Bush met with a group of high school Presidential Scholars. He received more than his usual photo-op. The students gave him a letter they had written criticizing his administration's support for torture.According to DemocracyNow!,One of them handed him a handwritten letter signed by fifty of the students. It read: “As members of the Presidential Scholars class of 2007, we have been told that we represent the best and brightest of our nation. Therefore, we believe we have a responsibility to voice our convictions. We do not want America to represent torture. We urge you to do all in your power to stop violations of the human rights of detainees, to cease illegal renditions and to apply the Geneva Con

WASHINGTON -- President Bush was presented with a letter Monday signed by 50 high school seniors in the Presidential Scholars program (video) urging a halt to "violations of the human rights" of terror suspects held by the United States.The White House said Bush had not expected the letter but took a moment to read it and talk with a young woman who handed it to him."The president enjoyed a visit with the students, accepted the letter and upon reading it let the student know that the United States does not torture and that we value human rights," deputy press secretary Dana Perino said.The students had been invited to the East Room to hear the president speak about his effort to win congressional reauthorization of his education law known as No Child Left Behind.The handwritten letter said the students "believe we have a responsibility to voice our convictions.""We do not want America to represent torture.

One of the tracks from the album is called "North By Northwest" peep game and enjoy!"North By Northwest" (click to listen)

With one full-length album (Self-Titled, 2004) and an 8-song EP (The Long March, 2005) the Blue Scholars have emerged out of the erupting Northwest hip-hop scene with soulful beats, poetic yet political rhymes and a reputation for dynamic live performances. With their second full-length release, Bayani (listen to 2 new tracks-see below), due out on June 12, 2007 on MASSLINE in collaboration with the preeminent label of hip-hop’s glory age and the newly revitalized Rawkus Records, the torch bearing Seattle duo blends the personal and the political, unafraid to party in the process.Emcee Geologic and DJ/producer Sabzi come from vastly different musical approaches to experiment with a unique, new sound that still echoes the classic boom-bap of a bygone era (see: A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets). Prior to their collision, Geo had already begun making local rounds as a battle emcee and spoken-word poet, while Sabzi honed his skills as a classical and jazz-trained pianist while atte

Australia Young Scholars Workshop - Australia Indonesia Governance Research PartnershipThe Young Scholars Workshop is designed to encourage a new generation of prospective researchers from Indonesia and Australia (especially Honours and Master students, but also PhD students).

At midnight on Dec. 31, hundreds of millions of pages of secret documents will be instantly declassified, including many F.B.I. cold war files on investigations of people suspected of being Communist sympathizers. After years of extensions sought by federal agencies behaving like college students facing a term paper, the end of 2006 means the government's first automatic declassification of records. Secret documents 25 years old or older will lose their classified status without so much as the stroke of a pen, unless agencies have sought exemptions on the ground that the material remains secret. Historians say the deadline, created in the Clinton administration but enforced, to the surprise of some scholars, by the secrecy-prone Bush administration, has had huge effects on public access, despite the large numbers of intelligence documents that have been exempted. This should reveal some illuminating never before revealed to the public. The C.I.A. has reviewed more than 100 milli

July, 1123 B.C.E., Naduvedina* : Two young and aspiring social scientists - who we will henceforth refer to, for reasons of classification, as Agath and Regral - in the interest of academia, decided to take apart a marriage in order to investigate what it is, precisely, that makes the phenomenon tick (or not - as could well, and did in fact, transpire). As such circumstances tend to behave, things didn't entirely go in the expected clockwork manner (and this expectation in itself may be construed as an able indication of the philosophies, mindsets and, by extension, prior successes, of the idealistic young subjects of our historical study). The resultant report by Agath and Regral, copies of which were found among Agath's remains at his family burial site, deemed the experiment a failure - if, indeed, such a conclusion may be regarded by an unprejudiced mind as logical or meritorious of institutional validation - and some of the blame, it is inferred, was placed on metho
