Okayplayer fam Amanda Diva sent over this new song of hers this morning called "Color Blind" produced by DJ Green Lantern and featuring Johnny Polygon. This use to be my joint right here, but I like how Deev's and Johnny are exploring the topic. What do y'all think, would the world be better off colorblind?

So check out the full 10 minute episode, it's entertaining as always. Also of note is the video Diva posts of Obama shooting hoops - when was the last time we had a Prez who could do THAT??!!
