Jie Song of the Stone Forest Ensemble, in NYC, sent me this trailer for a documentary that he directed. The video is a preface to his "Emerging Face of a Nationless World" project for the 2010 World Expo (Shanghai, China) on behalf of the USA Pavilion.

Check it out!

Suite Delight's DJ Solespin is a big part of why our show exists today! See his blog about Beats From The East!

Quite frankly, if we had never met in High School and traded rap tapes, he would've never invited me onto his show...and I would've never got the idea to pitch a show of my own. And the podcasting was all him too. Without that, our show wouldn't have grown so quickly either!

 

Thanks, SS!

Thanks to last week's guest, Ellie (from AATheory.com and seoulbeats.com), our latest podcast propelled us into Podomatic's Top 30!

Ellie's episode ALONE has, so far, garnered 5000 downloads in 4 days!!!

We hope to have the honor of chatting with her again, in the future!
