He is keeping the funk movement alive… nuances, guitar riffs and bass lines intact.  His performance was flawless.  Here is &lt;i&gt;Muted Symphony&lt;/i&gt; from his latest release Use In Case of Emergency (b-sides, demos &amp; remixes).

Pecou’s body of work features painting, video and performances that explore the phenomenon of contemporary propaganda and brand building as well as the cultural context of media and promotion and its disconnection and relevance to fine art. His work exposes the stereotypes that surround black masculinity as reflected in contemporary media.  This piece is entitled &lt;i&gt;Warn-A-Brother&lt;/i&gt;, from his 2008 series &lt;i&gt;Stunt’d Like My Daddy&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://leatriceellzy.tumblr.com/post/115821459</link><guid>http://leatriceellzy.tumblr.com/post/115821459</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2009 13:18:41 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>If you do something consistently for 30-days it becomes a habit....</title><description>&lt;img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/c1guHfVEno5bg5x5V1zBnR4Vo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you do something consistently for 30-days it becomes a habit.  I’m on it… starting today.  &lt;/p&gt;
