Weekend Blog Treats!

Greetings! The Blog Treats are here! What’s happening in the world and blogosphere (greater than the world!)? Lots of politics, art (mostly arts because that’s my scene), and people talking about themselves (including me talking about myself). Some of it good, some of it bad, so I posted just the ones that I liked or thought worthy of your time. Enjoy!



Congratulations to the winners of the Music Festivals' first set. Some amazing shows! Hope you made it! If you did, let me know what you thought.


It’s really amazing how people sometimes manage to do so much using so little…check out this gifted street drummer (hat tip: Dr. Dave)




For the meat lovers, more mouth-watering recipes from the Pot. This time we have a rich-looking pig tail soup and fry-dry sardines!


Lots of animal blogging recently and not all of it ends well for the animals in questions. We have on one hand the good great iguana catch but on the other the green monkey road kill and the mysterious feathery murder!

Oh, yeah and we also have a story about “hounding” which is a political reference though. I think I disagree with this idea. Ad hoc witch-hunt measures are not the right kind of protection for democracy. A stable, functional and enduring democracy needs better institutional processes and more faith in these institutional processes by the people…the latter actually is what we need to nourish in T&T.


Speaking of that,poor Mr. Hart! Seems like the hounds have scented blood and can't hold back. Maybe he just got tired of all the BS. Either way, I think he did some good things for TT, esp in my field of music, by building NAPA.


Seems like the UNC and the opposition has no shame---saying nasty things to widows, then denying it, even though there are witnesses. I say that the UNC needs to find better things to do with its time than harass the bereaved.


Mr. London is keeping it real with an upcoming calypso album. He wrote 52 songs for 52 weeks! Wow!


In more light hearted news...taichi and salsa will keep you from aging...I've got the salsa part...not sure if I've centered my Chi yet...


So, Kamla is pretty cocky...selecting her Cabinet. This lady can't wait to get her handson power! Slow down, lady, you're gonna hurt someone...


I really hope this turns out to be just a bad joke. The NAPA building looks so perfect and the design looks so complicated that it seems very unlikely for the designers to mess up things the way this report suggests. I hope they’re wrong about it!


This is just awesome. All around. Awesome.


Performance art! The infighting! MUCH more interesting than TT infighting, really.


Another neat video, much closer to home.
