I liked the original commercials. Add the auto-tuning brillance of the Gregory Brothers, and this is just GENIUS!
I’ve been autotuned: my life is now complete.
(The original commercials, from which the brilliant Gregory Brothers pulled the clips, are posted here and here)
So far away, I wish you were here
Before it’s too late, it could all disappear…
Ran into this old video online courtesy of my boy Jonny Roobs, and just thinking how crazy it is that time flies by so quickly. Just five years ago, Varick and I were at the top of our game being co-owners of the Tsinilas Clothing Company brand and traveling hundreds and thousands of miles to peddle our little slice of Filipino culture to the masses. In a short period spanning from 2000-2004, Tsinilas brought us all over the country, where we had the opportunity to meet so many awesome people and make memories that were equally as amazing. We gathered a cult following that still endures today, and to look back on everything we did and everyone we met can sometimes be overwhelming. I still have yet to see the excitement that was felt with the triumvirate that was Tribal Pinoy (LA), Tsinilas (FL) and Pinoywear (NYC), and wonder if I ever will.
Like many good things, though, the journey had to reach its end at some point, but some things never change. Varick is still one of my best friends, and he is still every bit as creative as the first day that we met, maybe even moreso. He continues to do his thing, mentoring and inspiring a new generation of designers.
And me…well, still trying to find myself and hoping I found my true calling…
…but it’s still fun to look back!
(P.S. God, we look so young…)
Happy birthday to me…Otherwise….Shoot this muthafuckaaaaaa!!!!!
What a birthday wake-up call!Thanks, Gil, for sending me the original. It enabled me to find the Remix, hahaha! If there is only one thing worth remembering from the movie Wanted, it’s this amazing line. Love that Morgan Freeman!
It’s getting better all the time!! More songs announced for The Beatles: Rock Band - So good, can’t wait till 9.09.09 gets here!!!
T-Swizzle and T-Pizzle share a Thug Story - what a way for Taylor Swift to open the CMT Awards! I couldn’t help but post, actually kind of catchy in a way…
Wow, wow, and more wow! The Beatles: Rock Band!!! I am excited about this game and have been waiting to see and hear something, anything about it! In addition to the trailer that shows actual gameplay, there is this one courtesy of ign.com. Either this is a commercial, perhaps? Or maybe the opening of the game? Whichever it is, the trailer definitely gets me pumped for the game to come out!!!!
So I had a chance to see how they do on the other side of the pond. Pretty good routine from Diversity to take the finals of “Britain’s Got Talent”. Of course, they came across as more “Bring It On” than “ABDC”. But enteraining, nonetheless…
