Dear Readers

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 11:43:00 -0600

After nearly 3 years, I believe that it is finally time to end the Curious Tribe blog as we know it.

Over the course of this short time Curious Tribe has:

Produced over 2500 blog posts
Published two issues of a printed magazine (Invasion Magazine)
Published two issues of an online magazine (Invasion Online)
Developed a brand tshirt
Participated in the Alternative Media Expo twice
And created 12 mix tapes

But more than that, we have shown that young people have the power to make a dent in the universe.

I am writing to inform you that Curious Tribe will transition to a brand umbrella for a number of new products. This site will no longer update with dope culture posts and instead will focus on brand progress for Curious Tribe and ventures that we support.

Our newest venture INVADENOLA.COM launched in late December and aims to be the best indie online magazine New Orleans has seen. The site updates biweekly on Tuesdays with issues based on specific themes. In conjunction with this project we have a new culture and events blog and an events calendar.

Thank you for your continued support. My focus for 2010 is to take bigger risks. I can’t do this without you.

Lovejustin.

Marie-Pierre Arthur - Elle

Marie-Pierre Arthur is a young folk/pop singer-songwriter from Quebec who is just loaded with musical talent. Even though I can’t understand the lyrics because I don’t speak French, her breathy vocals and song melody pulls you in.

Lil Wayne Protege Gudda Gudda Introduces Himself On New Mixtape 'Guddaville is just me expressing how I feel about a lot of different things,' he tells Mixtape Daily.

New Orleans native Gudda Gudda has a bunch of superstars in his camp,
including Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake. Dude might be next in line
to blow. Gudda, who’s been down with Wayne for around a decade, has
been lacing family records like “Thinking to Myself” (his verse about
Kunta Kinte steals the show!) “Bedrock” and “Every Girl” with his
laid-back, spoken-word flow. This week, though, Gudda steps to the
front with his own mixtape, Guddaville. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1627708/20091204/index.jhtml

The Black Book

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:25:27 -0600

In 1974, Middleton A. Harris headed up a team including author Toni Morrison to collaborate on The Black Book, an impressively detailed and now-classic chronicle of the black experience in America. To celebrate its 35th anniversary, the book has been handsomely reissued—with a new foreword by Morrison—and if you haven’t ever had the chance to read it, don’t miss the experience of what Henry Louis Gates Jr. has hailed as “the ultimate treasure chest of the black experience.”

Compiled from more than 500 archival documents, articles and photographs, it covers a wide array of topics: the brutality of slave punishments; eyewitness accounts of abolitionist John Brown’s execution (there was a contest as to who would provide the “winning” noose from which Brown would hang); patents and famous contributions to popular music, sports, dance and Hollywood; and maps and accounts of the Underground Railroad. It’s a celebration of the African-American experience as well as a fascinating history lesson all Americans should know.

“Perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of a nation in the midst of two wars. One of these wars is winding down. The other is a conflict that America did not seek; one in which we are joined by forty three other countries — including Norway — in an effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks.

Still, we are at war, and I am responsible for the deployment of thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land. Some will kill. Some will be killed. And so I come here with an acute sense of the cost of armed conflict — filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace, and our effort to replace one with the other.”

- President BARACK OBAMA, from his prepared Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, via the New York Times (via inothernews)

Trailer - Greenberg

Written and directed by Noah Baumbach. Starring Ben Stiller, Greta Gerwig, Rhys Ifans, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Featuring new music from James Murphy/LCD Soundsystem.

This looks like interesting. I like most of Noah Baumbach’s films and almost everything he has collaborated with Wes Anderson on including The Life Aquatic and Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’s also nice to see Ben Stiller actually use his acting skills on something different every once in a while.
