Coffee & Snow 2 by Blue Scholars

Blue Scholars released the sequel to their song “Coffee & Snow“. It snowed again in their Seattle hood, so the made another track entitled, what else, “Coffee & Snow 2.” It’s a fun video to see what Geo does when it snows from slipping on ice to playing Starcraft. If you’re trapped in the snow too, you can relate to this track from the Blue Scholars.

You can listen to the track and download it below

It comes in three flavors Coffee & Snow 2 (yellow), Coffee & Snow 2 (White), and Bărf Riddim (beats only). Play the Yellow Snow version in your car, play the White Snow version on the radio. BTW – don’t eat yellow snow.

More about The Resistance web series
Set in the dying world of Aurordeca, THE RESISTANCE is an action-packed thriller revolving around an epic tale of destiny and revenge.

SYRUS PRIMORIS (Adrian Zaw), a brilliant chemist, has taken control of the ten regions of Aurordeca in the wake of a devastating plague. Half the population is already dead. It is only Syrus and his miracle suppressant, NOXE, that keep the survivors from succumbing to the virus. In exchange, the people grant Syrus absolute power.

Only one group stands in open opposition to the regime. The Aurordecan Resistance Movement (ARM), led by the fierce and driven LANA. ARM sees Syrus for the despot he truly is and fights tirelessly to find a cure for the disease and to free the people from their enslavement to the suppressant. But everything changes through a chance encounter with a mysterious and deadly drifter, ARCLITE. In our exciting first installment of The Resistance, LANA searches for a microchip that contains crucial information; Syrus plots to bring down ARM once and for all; and a mysterious stranger might hold the answer to saving the world.

We keep seeing this Toyota ad on YouTube. Check out this commercial featuring an Asian dad with his daughter as part of the “Ideas for Good” campaign. What if we used the Hybrid Synergy Drive to create the world’s first self-sustaining amusement park? The cutest part is the little girl in the back seat saying “Daddy! I’m four.” She’s as cute as Kylie in the Microsoft commercials.

Newsweek Obama Hindu cover controversy

Newsweek Obama Hindu cover controversy

A controversial cover of Newsweek magazine has prompted international outrage and led to calls of a boycott. The cover depicts President Obama as a Hindu god in a “Nataraja” pose. It shows President Obama with six arms, standing on one leg, with a caption reading, “God Of All Things.” The image is similar to the Hindu god Shiva Nataraja – the god of creation, destruction and grace. Each arm represents a different attribute. The President, who was in India recently, is shown trying to balance war, peace, healthcare, housing, and the economy. The Hindu American Foundation wants Newsweek to apologize and to explain to readers what the god symbolizes, but Hindus in Malaysia are taking more drastic measures. Some are demanding the removal of the issue from all of the country’s newsstands.
