Coming in from the cold, it's another long overdue, fresh brew from your favorite B-Boy blogger, El Q. As we rapidly approach the end of the year, the holidays loom as most of us look into our ever tightening wallets with fear and gloom. Gas prices fall and politician's seem small, as governor's are caught red handed, bail outs are debated, and the economy continues to take a dive, just in time for the winter! Good thing we got the internet and good old fashioned Hip-Hop to help us escape the storm and keep your hearts and minds warm!
Instead of reflecting back on the events we have just been through, I thought I'd give you a fresh pile of worthwhile links, videos and assorted goodness. A nice mix of megabits ranging in topics from Twitter tips and tricks, music industry news, and random gigs worth of google able goods. With no further adieu, here is another heaping dump of cyber funk, from the king of the online thump, Q.Rock639. Links thrown into the RRG blender in no particular order.

Music stars' digital strategies still in flux
Interesting article on Reuters, which compares sales of Kid Rock, AC/DC, Lil Wayne and Leona Lewis. While some of these names made a killing online, others did just as good, if not better, than the digitally pushed products. Is it really a good idea to sell your music online, or is there really any hope for the artist who releases CDs? The numbers may surprise you. I was surprised to hear that the 8th best selling album of 2008 didn't sell more that 2 million.
Journalist throws shoes at President Bush during press conference-video clip
OK, I know this isn't funny, as it is an assault on the President. But daayum! Hold on a second, I'm laughing so hard right now that I have tears in my eyes! I can understand being so mad at Bush that you want to throw stuff at him...but your shoes? I can't wait to read that reporters blog site and hear what he has to say about himself.
