After my Sister-in-law’s wedding…
We all got changed and went out for some Korean karaoke. I mentioned the Rainbow Music Studio before in my Bulgogi post but now I have a video.

Sometimes a song/video/movie comes along that can completely embody a certain place and time. I flipped out after watching Rye Rye’s “Shake It To The Ground” music video on youtube. This video is Bmore 05′ ish!
Shortly after falling in love with this song and video I noticed that Rye Rye was touring with M.I.A. and was scheduled to perform at a show I already had tickets for that weekend.
The show was amazing but I was bummed to find out that Rye Rye didn’t have a CD…
But today I found these interviews with M.I.A.
So keep a look out for Rye Rye, the first artist signed to M.I.A.’s new label N.E.E.T. and her album in 2009.
Also I can’t wait to pick up the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack!
A while back when I was hiring interns for LAI, one demo reel stood out from the rest… and it belonged to Benjamin Beast.
After watching the video, I showed it to the department, prompting my boss to ask “did he punch the fish?” quickly becoming one of his more memorable quotes.
So after trying to schedule an interview I found out that Benjamin was not up for the commute to DC. But I did find some fantastic videos he created and I might purchase a Showbeast T-Shirt in the near future.
And a side FYI: If you have a MySpace account or any online presence whatsoever keep in mind it will play a factor when looking for a Job! Even though Benjamin might have appeared a bit unusual he actually reminded me of myself… I could only imagine what people thought of my first demo reel straight out of art school. The above rule also goes for employers. I went to an interview in Philly a few years back and the interviewer started turning red when I asked him about his side projects.
Anyway Benjamin Beast has one more fan!
