Rev. Boogaloo's Blog Roundup

Since I'll be on hiatus for the next two weeks, I've gotta make this quick...'cause I gotta pack my bags tonight!

The following are highlights from some of my favorite blogs; do check out these peeps when you get a chance!

   The Mad Bull has posted up the pics of Usain Bolt’s win here in Berlin this past week @

Since I’m leaving town tomorrow morning, I’ll miss both victory parties this weekend with Bruva Bolt and the whole Jamaican team (dang!) at both Barbara’s restaurant AND at Dennis’s restaurant! Oh well...can’t make ‘em all...

   Rob Fields @ Bold as Love turned me on to Stew wayyy before this movie...so happy to see this happen & I can’t wait to see the film. http://www.boldaslove.us/2009/08/passing-strange-film-trailer-a-spi.html

   My heart goes out to my brother, the brilliant Prof. Mark Anthony Neal: he lost both his parents within a little over a year. He reviews the brilliant new doc “Say My Name” @

   Pink Tentacle has a link to the mysterious Junsui Project @

http://www.pinktentacle.com/2009/08/the-junsui-project/ 

The cool thing about the link to the website is that it appears you can only view the website once! Marketing ploy or video art project? You decide.

   Afro-Punk posted these cool posters by Jermanine Rogers @

I want the Malcolm X one on a t-shirt :-)

   Steven Barnes weighs in on the brilliant film “District 9” and the Universal Health Care Debate @ http://darkush.blogspot.com/2009/08/district-9-and-uhc.html

   My friend DeWayne Wickham must have said something to awaken the testy trolls again :-) Although considered by many to be one of the more moderate voices in journalism, it seems he can’t help but raise a ruckus whenever he posts @ http://dewaynewickham.blogspot.com/ 

   And Ta-Nehsi Coates interesting series on Virginia history is worth reading @

http://ta-nehisicoates.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/08/virginia_1.php Since I’m headed there this weekend, I’ll get to see it all up-close-and-personal once again.

While I'm away, may the Stankitity stick to you until we meet again!
