This was a great documentary about the history of Go-Go. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else, after extensive online searches. I apologize for the quality; it's a VHS rip. Even if you don't like Go-Go this is a great documentary to watch. It does a good job of showing how Go-Go was influenced by West African music, and it explains how it influenced many of today's genres (eg. Hip-Hop, Indie, Pop, etc). Check it out and let us know what you think. Peace.
Description: The definitive documentary on the history of Go-Go, Washington, DC's home grown music form. This documentary explores the African roots of the music, it's humble beginning on the streets and clubs of Washington, DC and the politics surrounding its influence on the youth.

Classic Movie: Straight Up Go-Go Documentary (1992)
Classic Movie: Michael Jackson "Moonwalker"
When I was younger I used to watch "Moonwalker" all the time. I watched it so much that no amount of tracking adjustment would make the movie clear. I remember trying to emulate all Michael Jackson's dance moves, especially the scene when he and the "claymation" rabbit had a dance off in the street. Even though MJ has been involved in a lot of "shady business" in recent years, "Moonwalker" still remains to be one of my favorite movies. I stumbled across the video on the net the other day and I decided to share. Watch it here. Enjoy!
PS. Please tell me someone remembers the "Moonwalker" game Sega put out in 1990. I played that game all the time. Its kinda ironic that in the game you saved little kids from this guy named Mr. Big. I guess the signs were right in front of our face all along...hahaha
