couple posts back i referenced "kraze burger"
i didn't anyone would get it, but of course Utz Stacker emailed me about it...
i'm not sure how this guy ended up in Seoul (see pic below)
but he's there and he writes me hilarious emails...
you've been blogged!
(btw, kraze burger is a chain of burger joints in korea started by a korean-american)

he sent me images of this cool Korean design book he found over there,
never thought I'd see kimchee packaging in a design book...
but it really covers a interesting theme: how to make the ugly look beautiful....

also Bozack wrote me about my Namm post,
pointing out that Bozack mixer might actually be the first DJ mixer. it came out in 67 and pre-dated the Urei. after I got the correction, I went to check up on the Pioneer mixer from 1974 and it's actually (in the words of Pionner) the "first Pro DJ product," whatever that means... seems like they are trying to pull a fast life remix. (If you are wondering why Bozack shares the same name as the mixer: "btw i go by bozak because it was my fam's OG last name before they were on the lam during prohibition. they changed it to evade the feds cuz they were slangin that moonshine. my name has nothing to do with this mixer.I want one though."

also what i'm listening to these days:

awesome Brasilian album... available at the lab

didn't believe that folk and punk could be used together, until i heard this... since his passing, it's only gotten that much more powerful.

i hate to admit this one, but this shit is pretty good. so what if he's the son of Alan Thicke?

also, AVOID THIS MOVIE... unless you like depressing as fuck movies with no redemption at the end... seriously, this falls into my worst movie theater experiences, up there with Million Dollar Baby and Legally Blond 2...
