"but it is never 'just' talk. you simply cannot separate such words from the historical context that has shaped the way in which they are being used. africa (i lived in africa for six years) was once an exceptionally wealthy continent, few africans (or people of african descent) need to be reminded how and why that is no longer the case. you cannot just brush this off as 'history' that should be forgotten because thousands continue to benefit from this history, and millions continue to suffer as a direct result - it is not history, it is current events."

"a diverse global society needs to learn and accept the multitude of realities, not opinions. some opinions don't need to be accepted, and should not be accepted." - same poster

Aggregation of FIFA 2008 Videos

The only new music I get is and has been from video games and umm local community events. I haven't gotten FIFA 2008, but I definitely know that they select a variety of the good beats.

I don't know if there's any Brazilian music that I have heard that I don't like. Maybe my next infatuation after first Indian women, then Mexican women will go towards Brazilian women.

Salto o Frango - Bonde de Role



This one is inspirational. This song needs to run in your blood.

The Hours - Ali in the Jungle



The Cat Empire - Sly...this song makes me feel good about just bullshitting around.



I think of someone I've actually when I hear this cause it fits her personality to a tee, it's the type of song she'd recommend and the video is just a complete continuation of the song. So it's the funniest and most playful of the FIFA 08 soundtrack.

Automatic Automatic - Monster



The next track had a funny ass comment on youtube.

Carpark North - Human

"The music rocks BIG ASS!!
But i don't like the video...but well...thats propably what art is all about O_o?"


Aterciopelados - Paces...this one makes me think of sex and one-night stands even though that's what it's not really about.

Robyn - Bum Like You...this one is weird, but strangely addicting.

Mexican Institute of Sound - El Microfono...the freshest beat and rap, hands-down.

And finally, I saved the best for last...my personal favorite. Stirred not shaken. The smoothest production.

Pacha's Massive - Don't Let Go
