kamchruochcover


Prince Klassen and Mike 2600 are tearing things down in their respective cities of Austin and Minneapolis on a regular basis, djing loads of music other djs are afraid to play, or just plain don't know about. This new project the two have united for entitled Kamchruoch,consists of exclusively Southeast Asian music (psyche, rock, funk) from the 60's and 70's. It's a perfect example of why people love these two DJs. They take chances, and they aren't afraid to educate their listeners. Burlesque Design (the company behind the country-wide Dre Day celebrations) is offering this mix for free. Get it while it's hot. The mix page also has a great description of the mix, and the two DJs.

Logorama Trailer (Video)

With all the fanfare at the Oscars, some of you may have missed the film Logorama win an Oscar for best short animation. This film puts forth an almost nightmarish world full of logos, where just about everything is transformed into a major brand's official stamp. Obviously, the first question you'll ask is: "did these companies pay for and/or give permission for all this placement"? The answer is no, according to an LA Times interview with Ludovic Houplain of Hi 5, the French company responsible for this film. If only this, it's a great review of all the interesting typography/font work that has crosses our psyche every day of our lives. Do we need this much of it, probably not. But then again, this film's only 16 minutes. Also, if we're going to take all this stuff in anyway, it's probably best to get it all at once. Then we can try to ignore it later on.

RIP Corey Haim

coreyhaim

'80s babies remember Corey Haim well from his part in the film The Lost Boys, which launched "The Coreys" (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman) into the hearts of millions of teenage girls worldwide. The Two Coreys reality show on A&E was a disturbing look at the former teen stars that was frankly very hard to watch. These two "stars" seem to be a prime example of how the Hollywood lifestyle can chew people up, and spit them out. Haim was pronounced dead at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, CA last night. The full details are not known to us, but reports state an "accidental overdose". He was 38.

The Most Colorful River In The World





The Rio Caño Cristales, also known as "the river that ran away to paradise", "the most beautiful river in the world", and "the river of five colours". is world famous for its colorful display, located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia, South America.

During a brief span between the wet and dry seasons , when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss located at the bottom of the river, bloom in a brilliant display of colors. Areas of yellow, blue, green, black, and red - and a thousand shades in between - coat the river.

Chat Roulette (So NSFW)


We tried to be men and watch the Superbowl. Instead, we spent hours on Chat Roulette.

If you haven't heard, Chat Roulette is a website that randomly pairs up strangers into video chats.

HIGHLIGHTS: Dancing to Daddy Yankee with strangers across the Atlantic / Finding some dude in Germany who will draw a portrait of you. 

WARNING: More than half of the people on this site just want to show you their junk.

Can't stress enough how NSFW this is.

The Best Stop-Motion Tattoo Video You'll See All Day

Full disclosure: I do not have any tattoos. Also, needles and I don't really get along well. That said, this tattoo and the accompanying video are pretty amazing. Apparently, Dabe Allen is having a bunch of vintage gadgets tattooed on his arm as part of a nerd sleeve. But, instead of just getting each tat and posting the before-and-after shots, Allen and his pal decided to do a stop-motion video of the process.

The tattoo looks great and, for someone who doesn't have any ink, it's interesting to see how much work goes into a detailed tattoo like that. Allen plans to post part two of the video on Nov. 8, so synchronize those Google Calenders. In the meantime, check out the Frank 151 Tattoo forum.

Drake - "Best I Ever Had" Video

Drake, the artist with possibly the biggest internet buzz someone's ever had without an album, has come with a brand new video. The video is directed by Kanye West, for the song that blew him up, Best I Ever Had. The second girl that comes busting through the banner looks remarkably like Rihanna (no surprise), and this video seems to be just what hip-hop needed: a Porky's movie in music video form. Should be a hit...

Check out Drake wearing our own Toronto Tempers FDL cap below (from back when he visited Frank's Chop Shop in April).

Wiz Khalifa Tears Up Chicago

Wiz_Khalifa_in_Chicago_10

Wiz Khalifa has been continuing his assault on America in support of his album Deal Or No Deal, which has been doing very respectable numbers. Wiz made a stop in Chicago just before the holidays, where the city came alive for the kid from Pittsburgh. Wiz was joined by Chicago's Dave Coresh, Tha Basix, 1773 and DJs Intel and Trentino. Take a gander at some of the photos captured that night. More photos can be seen after the jump, and the whole gallery is at 10photos.net.

Christina Milian And The Dream Married And Pregnant

dream-mili

Christina Milian is pregnant!

She married music producer The-Dream on Sept. 4 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.

And they got engaged two months ago.

"Of course, I would love to have kids," she told Us earlier this summer while promoting "Bring It On: Fight to the Finish." "I think that's some of the reasons why I do movies like this."

And The-Dream (Terius Hagert Youngdell Nash) has also been talking babies.

"I love kids, and [Christina] loves kids probably more than I do," he told Us in July.

This is definitely sooner than expected. But congrats, kids!

Drake At The Chop Shop

drake-3web


Many of you have probably already heard about Toronto's new rap sensation Drake. For those that haven't, time to get acquainted. Drake stopped by the chop shop the other day, so we got him a cut, and fitted him with one of our newly released Toronto Tempers caps. We also laced him with some Frank books to take back to T Dot. We've been happy to see our Toronto Tempers team grow so fast (whatup Keys and Krates!). We look forward to building with Toronto more, and strengthening our Canadian FDL in a big way moving forward.

The mix features Lil Wayne, Lloyd and Trey Songs, and contains the banger entitled Successful.
