Hardcore and conscious. Y’all confused by that concept? F. Scott Fitzgerald’s defintion of intelligence does apply here. Get smart!
GM calls latest Romney auto ad ‘politics at its cynical worst’
Watch the ad above. Smdh, when will the lying from the Romney-Ryan campaign stop??!
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has broadened his attack on President Barack Obama’s auto industry restructuring, implying that General Motors used the aid to hire more workers in China than in the U.S.
“Barack Obama says he saved the auto industry. But for who? Ohio or China?” says the narrator in a radio spot running in Ohio. “Under President Obama, GM cut 15,000 American jobs, but they are planning to double the number of cars built in China, which means 15,000 more jobs for China. And now comes word that Chrysler plans to start making Jeeps in, you guessed it, China.”
GM quickly defended its performance.
“We’ve clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days,” GM spokesman Greg Martin said. “No amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish our record of creating jobs in the U.S. and repatriating profits back to this country.”
Separately, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne used an e-mail to employees today to refute the implication in a Romney TV ad that Chrysler may move all Jeep production from the U.S. to China.

[DJ mix] Arcee, Kaewonder, & Dj Serious present Cratery #43
Spotted on the homie, Arcee‘s twitter feed:
The Canadian content on Cratery is at an all-time high. Could be the influence of our bi-coastal brethren Sipreano and Birdapres. It could be a desire to snatch up that local sh*t for trade leverage. Or an overwhelming source of national pride (It’s probably not the last one). The CANCON on this month’s episode arrives courtesy of 3 tripped out artists from Quebec: Guy Rheaume, Sex and Les Champignons [ed note: I don’t see Les Champignons in the track list below]. So much incredible music was recorded in Quebec in the 60’s and 70’s. Sadly, much of it remains unknown. We do venture outside of La Belle Province with selections like Irene Kral’s “Wheelers and Dealers”, a recent vocal jazz discovery I found in a local spot for $6. Kaewonder reminds us not to sleep on the Carla Thomas catalog (as does Madlib) and DJ Serious unearths a randomly alternate version of George Benson’s “The Changing World” (without the ‘I used to love H.E.R. sample). Cratery 43, bitches. Stream it or download below.
I love the fact that there’s a skip at the end of the Johnny Trouble record (real vinyl, yeah!) and “2,4,6,8”, one of my favorite songs from my favorite album of all time, is in this mix.

New track apparently not part of the official, commercial release of his three mixtapes under the name, Trilogy on November 13. Word to The Smiths‘ “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” on the chorus.
