Bambu’s “The Queen is Dead” Music Video

Chicharon Adven­tures presents an OISHI MEDIA pro­duc­tion, “The Queen is Dead

Just trippy see­ing that the video was shot in my bro Exaktoh/Glen’s+Wella’s pad. It’s actu­ally a dope place. Pretty nice size loft right smack in DTLA (near The Edi­son). I heard the build­ing is actu­ally being used for another shoot by Maroon 5; at least near it, so far.

Any­ways, dope stuff.

Fame Kills: Kanye x Lady Gaga

Here is the promo/teaser video for Kanye West & Lady Gaga’s joint-concert tour com­ing this Fall: Fame Kills.

I was orig­i­nally plan­ning to go see it in Vegas dur­ing Pac­man vs. Cotto week­end, but prob­a­bly would see it locally (San Jose maybe). I fig­ure it might just be too much stuff going on that week­end in Vegas. And yes, you might be say­ing: “but what about the whole Team Tay­lor > Kanye / VMA deba­cle, etc., etc.?” Yah, kind of a bad move.

Not the thing to do at the time. Hon­esty > Tact, maybe? But as Alexan­der Pope would put it, “to err is human, to for­give divine.” And yes, there are far more things going on around the World that most peo­ple should be aware of (myself included): Iran Elec­tion, Dar­fur, Global Warm­ing, …

Any­ways, one thing that I have to be truth­ful and give props to is that his Glow In The Dark Tour (w/ Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, and N.E.R.D.) was sick! Not to men­tion, like it or not, you can’t deny that the Music he pro­duces is unique and mem­o­rable to the masses.

Last but not least, for more tour dates and/or info, check out famekillstour.com

Seems that the video has been deleted from the Vimeo site. Here’s one from Youtube

Not to men­tion, a glimpse of future tal­ented artists who are coined in this dig­i­tal com­pi­la­tion—Stu­dents of the Cul­ture.
