"Put yourself and your people on a path to finding problems without regard for whether or not they are capable of solving them. Queue them up, prioritize them and then go find the help your organization needs to solve them."

Solving problems (vs. identifying them) — Seth Godin

Someone (really smart) I work with shared this with the team earlier.  Seth’s point highlights the importance of taking timely action.

Happy Cover Friday.

I remember listening to the 1, 2, 3 Soleils album non-stop for months back in the early 2000’s when I was first introduced to it.  Taha, Khaled & Faudel are by far the most celebrated and recognized Raï musicians globally and this performance shows why they are held in such regard.

Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime (Stereotronique Remix)

An off the chain jam I heard in DJ Wooooo’s House/Dance/Electro on Turntable.fm yesterday.  Per usual, I headed over to SoundCloud and now it is being shared on Tumblr.  I can’t even try to get sick of this exercise.

GZA - Fame

The Genius’ 4th album, Legend of the Liquid Sword, is in many ways a follow-up to his seminal sophomore album, Liquid Swords.  GZA has been plagued by mediocre production throughout much of his solo career, but his fans could care less if only because of his lyrical virtuosity.

King Of Pain by The Police

The Police’s fifth and final studio album, now a classic, spawned many hits including this one.   I recommend giving the album a listen in its entirety.

Don’t Know Why by Norah Jones

It’s hard to believe Norah Jones’ debut album, Come Away With Me, was released nearly 10 years ago! This is one of those wonderful albums that I revisit every year and every listen feels like the first time.

After 627 days of posting one song a day I went dark on my Tumblog yesterday in opposition to SOPA & PIPA. 

Check out this TED talk by Clay Shirky titled, “Why SOPA is a bad idea”.  If you use the internet in any shape or form, take the time to watch this 14 minute piece.
