Cool Obama Mix by DJ Z-Trip (excerpt)

Well, the election's finally over. Why not celebrate with an amazing mix by Z-Trip that features hip hop/soul/electronica classics with Barack Obama's speech excerpts. It has everything from Arrested Development's People Everyday, Kool Moe Dee's Yes We Can O'Jay's Give The People What they Want, Nu Schooz's I Can't Wait, to Chemical Brother's song that chants "Brother's Gonna Work it Out" (What's the name of that song?) Check it out on the link below or go to DJ Z-Trip's site for the full mix.

Thanks DJ Z-Trip! Image via NewZimbabwe.com

Insect Sushi & Japanese Food

From a blog by an insect for food enthusiast Shoichi Uchiyama. He just published a cook book on creating Japanese food with a little more... crunch. His blog is filled with startling photos of every day Japanese dishes with that bit of bite size protein. Some parts of the world might consider these insects a normal part of a meal. But Uchiyama understands that the gut reaction for most people (including the Japanese) for these critters on their plates are their worst fears coming to life. Still, reading his blog, he seems passionate about changing those perceptions. Hats off to a Herculean task ahead.

For more about him and his new cook book, check out English articles from the Telegraph and Japan Times.
