It’s 90210 today! It will never be 9-02-10 again! Live it up!
I was about to post a video for Guns n’ Roses’ “Civil War” (because that is a great song that I’m listening to right now) but this seemed more appropriate for today. I bet this is on loop at the Peach Pit all day.
Anyone that knows me well knows that I am a huge fan of Momofuku, to the point that it is laughable how much I talk about it (I brought Ginger Scallion Noodles - a recipe from their cookbook - for lunch 3 times this week). About a month ago I had the opportunity to interview David Chang of Momofuku for the Late Night blog. Here are the two videos that came out of it - one about how to cook good instant ramen and an interview with him about eating cheap in NYC. I don’t know if you can tell, but David Chang is a super normal nice dude (aside from the fact that he gave me crap about how bad UNC was at basketball last year and kept saying “Go Duke” the whole time - not cool, Chang). Here’s his backstage interview:
"…and you almost certainly didn’t know that the four-person crew is working on a pilot for Comedy Central, as they told wired.com in an exclusive interview."
Myself and Jon Friedman from Late Night were guests on Urlesque’s Urly Show podcast this week. We talked about the Antoine Dodson viral video, internet cats, and menorahs. We even had a conversation about the ethics behind an internet sensation that had its beginnings in a local news story about rape (a discussion my college social theory courses well prepared me for). I embedded the whole podcast below, or go watch it at Urlesque - I think their player looks better. Or you can get it on iTunes.

This dude has been doin’ his thing for a minute now. The cousin of Ice Cube, this bay area MC, also former member of Ice Cube’s Lench Mob crew, is the soul leader of the Hieroglyphics. “The Funkee Homosapien” is one of my all-time favorites
Recently I’ve been reminiscing and singing the praises of Del and the Hieroglyphics crew (and in all this I totally forgot Del was Ice Cube’s cousin). Del is an amazing MC, incredibly creative, always with innovative and catchy beats. Get on some Del and Hieroglyphics for real.
