VIDEO: Kanye West & Spike Jonze Team For Surreal Short Film "We Were Once A Fairytale"

WHAT??!! This film starts out very cool but then veers into delusional imagery involving hara kiri, Kanye and a mouse. Reminds me of the work of Japanese director Takashi Miike ("Audition", "Ichi The Killer", "Gozu" & "Sukiyaki Western Django").

Thanks to mrworldpremiere.net for the link.

VIDEO: DA KREEK "Wings & Propellers" Performance Vid

"On Sunday, September 6, 2009 Jamz 101.9 Youngstown presented the Lucky Penny Family Reunion. The event is held annual in the center of downtown Youngstown, Ohio and this year brought in over 7,000 + people from surrounding areas. We hit the stage and tore it up right before Day 26 arrived and set it off. Shout outs to Stuck in Ohio Productions on the quality video work they have done. The guys are really professional and I reccomend getting in touch with them if you need some video work done."

Also featuring freestyles by MC Lyte and Cymarshall Law. R.I.P. Mr. Magic!

Many long time fans of the show and regular listeners will notice the absence of my co-host Alexie F. Alexie F. has a few new projects up his sleeve and I wish him much success in his next movement.
