Tomorrow night, I am off to a karaoke party. This being my first time actually participating and not just watching, I am already feeling some performance anxiety. It looked so easy in Lost In Translation. Maybe I should sing "Like a Virgin". In preparation for my singing debut, I decided to visit my favorite site Wikipedia which had some fun facts. The first karaoke machine was made in Japan in the 1970's and has been taking the world by storm since then via karaoke bars, internet, videogames, mobile phones and even automobiles. In 2003, Chinese auto maker Geely came out with a "karaokemobile" called Beautiful Leopard. And in London, they have a few "karaokecabs" rolling around the streets. I wonder what those sound like.
Japanese word Juhachiban refers to the one song that karaoke singers are particularly good at and which they use to show off their singing abilities. I guess it's time for me to find out which one that is. Maybe my favorite kind of song - one with no words.

It's a rare occasion when Halloween is filled with French superstars, a shoe drop and an epic screening. And that was just the case last Friday, when Nike Sportswear presented Justice documentary A Cross The Universe, followed with the highly-anticipated launch of the Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 sneaker at Hollywood hotspot Nike Sportswear at The Montalbán. Fader TV was on hand to cover the event for their LA Is A Nice Place To Live series. 
Sneakerheads camped in front of The Montalbán all week to get their hands on the Busy P kicks, which featured artwork by So Me
When not running Ed Banger Records, Busy P (aka Pedro Winter) likes to hang with Mugatu from Zoolander

In keeping with the tradition of French efficiency, So Me's Halloween ensemble multitasks as a costume and trick or treat loot bag.
The last Wednesday of every month marks the first in a series of video DJ sets at Winston's in Hollywood. Classic 80's, Hip Hop, Rock and Pop videos are cut to the beats of DJ Spider, DJ Steve1der, Mister Best (Smash Bros.) and DJ Haul. Guaranteed a great way to get the party rolling into Halloween madness, costumes are encouraged. But your fiercest dancing shoes will get you through the door for sure.
