Remember where you heard it.

Sometimes...

...I wish I was John Mayer.


On his Honeyee blog he shows off his free BB Bold. He mentions the following:

"It has blazing fast 3G and twice the screen resolution, and the fonts look like something out of the New York Times. Which makes "WHERE R U" read as if it were an op/ed."

KeysNKrates@Barnone


KeysNKrates is an innovative live band that incorporates live instrumentation with a DJ. I've been fortunate enough to catch these guys live myself so take my word for it, shit is sick.

WESTCOAST STAND UP


We as Vancouver residents tend to forget that we're reppin' the WESTCOAST. For a while I didn't complain much because everyone BUT the west was making bangers while the usual Snoops and Dre's kept the same formula. Now, I'm sick and tired of the south shit, the vocoder abusers, the gimmicks and the straight up bullshit (Soldier Boy, RIP!). Very few are carrying the West on their back: Game, Snoop, Dre, E-40, yaddadamean??? But one dude gets overlooked way too often when he should be looked AT. Peep his newest effort to break the barriers that imprison him:

"..even paralyzed people have to stand for something." Ooohhh....!

Where the Wild Things Are: Test Footage

So here's some test footage of Where The Wild Things Are movie. If you grew up anything like me you know about this classic kids book. I'm so stoked on this..who doesn't love all the dope shit from when they were kids! Keep in mind this is TEST FOOTAGE. I found a note from Spike Jonze (director) replying to this leaked footage:

That was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesn't look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later... - Spike





This is only test footage, I'm so hyped to see the real thing. Out in '09!

All About The Benjamins

HAHAHHA This shit is unreal.....

By The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas - Tellers at the Texas bank were immediately suspicious.

After all, it isn't every day someone walks in to cash a cheque with 10 zeros on it.

But police say 21-one-year-old Charles Ray Fuller of the Fort Worth suburb of Crowley tried to do just that.

Fuller now faces forgery and other charges after trying to cash a cheque for $360-billion last week.

Fuller, who was released after posting $3,750 bail, claims his girlfriend's mother gave him the cheque to start a record business, a claim the woman denies.

In addition to forgery, Fuller has been charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana.

Police say they found more than 50 grams of marijuana and a .25-calibre handgun and magazine in his pockets.

I know money makes the world go 'round playa, but they was talkin bout real money! REEAALL! LOL

This dude named DJ Ruthless Ramsey is scratching with CASSETTE TAPES. WTF. Here we are running laps around technology, meanwhile, this dude's been perfecting THIS?!? It's dope but what kind of future is there in cassette tape DJing? He does it well though I'll give him props.. behold:

Complex X Crooks


Ran into my boy J at Complex in gastown the other day and he put me on to a new collabo with none other than those Crooks. The shirt will come in black and white but the release date is unknown at this point. Save your money kids!

Ryan Leslie improvises over 'Lollipop'

Ryan Leslie. The man behind Cassie, a handful of bad boy hits, a bunch of club jams you never knew you loved, and a talented musician all-around. Here's yet another reason why you need to pay attention to the moves Ryan is making. Below is a clip of Ryan at Green Lantern's Sirius satellite radio show. Green Lantern's eagerness to expose Ryan's greatness provokes him to play the Lollipop beat and get him to freestyle on the keys over it.

I know you'll feel this...



This is 50

Getting jacked for his chain in Angola!!hahaha


Rumor has it the dude was caught and beaten severely. I'm lookin into it..

Happy cinco de mayo essayyyyyy.. drink a cerveza for meeeeeee

LRX Land Rover Concept

It's unclear at this point whether or not Land Rover plans to put this into production but the way things are going in the whip game lately my opinion is that they'll put this out for sure. The LRX concept is more lightweight and therefore, more fuel efficient than the current Lands on the street today. Check the video for now. As the decision to release the vehicle becomes more solid I'll post up more details. The headlights alone are a selling point for me!

BIG BANG

Sorry for that delay, Blogspot thought this was a spam blog WTF??

Anyways..

Friday Nite was the last Major Fridays and they went out in style by having a free for all featuring a bunch of DJ's including myself (McFly) , The Freshest Kids, The Stunt man, Skilly, Brendan Butter, Relly Rels, Cherchez, and Garzita. Garzita used his Ableton(?) setup which doesn't require decks, just a good song selection and an understanding of volume haha nah I'm playin I was pretty amused by it (pics below). Shout out to El Kartel in the house, E and Jack, and all the DJ's, it's always a privelage when I get to spin with local heads. The night was complete with a girl fight and quesadillas followed by less than 6 hours of sleep. Now pardon me as I try to salvage what little braincells I have left.

What up Jadon!Troy and The Stunt Man. I like your shirt!Kut on the... umm.. Cut.
