Is this how Ian would appear on South Park?

Which may also explain Dick Cheney's outfit at the Auschwitz memorial event yesterday.
Shout to the "Don" who was shillin' his CD's on the F line last night while we were on our way to Cheslea Piers for our postponed holiday bowling party (134 and 138 over 2 frames, respect my gangsta!). Claims he's signed to Russell Simmons' new Phat Farm Records label too.
Twice in one week! Classic DJ mixes from the legendary West Coast radio station K-DAY courtesy of Todd.
Peace to my peoples Don, Ron and Ian for the party at Duvet last night which was cool, but I still miss the old club Tramp's, which used to be at the same location years ago, where some of the best shows I've ever seen (a pre-The Score Fugees around the time "Killing Me Softly" was starting to blow up, the first Brown Sugar era D'Angelo tour, a pre-Slim Shady album - some time between the "Bad Meets Evil" Game Recordings 12" dropping and "Hi My Name is..." debuting on MTV - Eminem, The Time, Joi etc. ) were held.

An alternate take on the Hot 97 "Tsunami Song" controversy.
50 talks greasy?
Dork Mag presents another Dork Party next week (Feb. 3).
Finn is coming.
"What's particularly galling is that British journalists will heap hyperbole and praise on the most derivative whey-faced rock bands whether they're aping The Stooges or the Gang of Four and yet criticise dance acts for not coming up with a new revolution every few months"
a quote from electro-house producer & DJ Ewan Pearson who was apparently also a Cambridge University graduate and former university lecturer with a Phd in cultural studies (I guess he really knows of what he speaks).
Jean Carlos Chera - the new Pele? (via Nadine S. | related: video of this kid - the first part of which is, allegedly, from when he was 6 years old (he's sick!) - spotted via BigSoccer)
Luckily this kid is fair-skinned enough that, if he makes it and plays in England, he won't end up getting cut out of any future soocer DVD documentaries. (also via Nadine S.)
Speaking of race-related issues though, I see ads for this place all the time in the amNewYork free paper I usually pick up every day. Am I off in saying that I think it's f-cked up that this woman , who's always featured in their ads, felt like she needed nose surgery? On my word, she looks better in the "Before" shot.
