One weblog really worthwhile following is the one that Chuck D. writes on the site of Public Enemy. Fuck, i love that band!
...welcome to the terrodome - the current writings of Chuck D.

"I'm so tired of cats who have opinions on proven scientific studies that are based on little data, research, readings, or facts. The studies of new technologies using images were predicted when I was studying it in college 20 years ago. Maybe that's the damn problem. I'm clear enough to know its documented science, and have read NOAM CHOMSKY, MARSHALL McCLUHAN, subliminal advertising effects, etc. Now, through the super-media uses of music, film and high tech gadgets it is possible to blur the lines between fantasy and reality. I wrote DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE on this premise. Challenging information. But the problem comes from peeps who have no inkling, but still have the turd of an opinion passing along. Why should I even entertain a challenging theory from some music cat who barely knows the business that they're in?" ~~ Chuck D, "Terrordome"
