[Video] Windfall Documentary (Trailer)
When I went to see the Marley doc on Wednesday, they showed this trailer during the previews. Ironically, just a few days before that I had been deriding people who complained about wind turbines because they “spoiled their view” but this trailer made me re-think that comment and how wind power is implemented in general.

[Music Video] The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (NSFW)
Oh my lawd, this video might just completely overshadow this very odd but very cool cover of the Roberta Flack standard, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by oddball, Oklahoma City-based (go Thunder!) alternative rock group, The Flaming Lips and the equally oddball soul singer, Erykah Badu. I know the nude shots are actually of Badu’s sister, Nayrock but, after her last controversial video, “Window Seat”, this is just further evidence and reinforcement to me of why Common, 3-Stacks and Jay Elec got so sprung on Erykah and wifed her up.
While we’re on the subject though…
For my T.dot (Toronto/GTA) heads, you can see The Flaming Lips perform for FREE on June 16 down at Yonge-Dundas Sq. during NXNE as presented by AOL-Spinner. BTW: wanna win tickets for NXNE courtesy AOL-Spinner? CLICK HERE.
Not enough for you? Hit the jump for another Lips-Badu collab, “Now I Understand” also featuring Siri and allegedly, Biz Markie (where??!).

[Video] Why Did UEFA Award the Euro 2012 Championship to Two Countries with Massive Racism Problems?
Here’s the background on BBC Panorama’s ‘Stadiums Of Hate’ program above:
A BBC documentary has flagged up Poland and Ukrainian football’s problems with racism, antisemitism and violence on the eve of UEFA Euro 2012. Here’s how the big hitters on Twitter have reacted to the screening of the damning footage.
With just days to go before the kick-off of the Euro 2012 championships, a hard-hitting BBC Panorama documentary has revealed shocking new evidence of racist violence and antisemitism at the heart of Polish and Ukrainian football. In the show, which went out in Britain on the evening of 28 May, a group of Asian fans are shown being attacked on the terraces of a Ukrainian premier league match and anti-Semitic chanting is captured on film at games in Poland. The show has cast fresh doubt on the joint hosts’ suitability to stage the high-profile football tournament.
