So I was having a convo with a co-worker the other about a concert she hit last week. She proceeds to tell me that the guy logs into Chatroulette with a hoodie, looking like the Unibomber and begins playing songs at random. So I had to do some research and this is what I came across. This is Ben Folds on Chatroulette... All I can say is this dude is hilarious... Enjoy!

The Business of Dating
Move over gold-diggers and call girls, you are no longer the only ones
making money from dating. From online dating services to boutique
matchmaking agencies to reality dating shows, dating is big business
and everyone is cashing in.
Many people are familiar with the online dating services Match.com and
Chemistry.com. No matter if you’ve actually utilized their services or not,
you have undoubtedly seen their commercials as both brand themselves
as pioneers in the industry. What you may not know about these dotcoms
is that they are both owned by the same parent-company, InterActive Corp
(sneaky devils). When you consider that each site’s average membership is
about $40/month and then multiply that by the 15-20 million members each
site boosts to have AND THEN multiply that by two to account for each site, you
can only assume that IAC is rolling in the dough. Better yet, let’s not assume.
To be exact, IAC posted revenue for fiscal year 2009 of $1.37 billion! This is
actually down from the $1.45 billion they posted in FY 2008.
(You can check this and other financial out in the Investor Relations
section of IAC’s website.)
While online dating sites cater to the masses (and reap the financial benefits of doing so) boutique matchmaking agencies are also lucrative business. OneDegreeFrom.me is a
And while we are on the topic of lonely millionaires, we have to talk about reality dating shows. I’ll admit I’ve never really been into the ones that the major networks offer, like The Bachelor, but have been suckered into a season or two of Flavor of Love and the many VH1 adaptations thereafter. We know the networks receive ad revenue from these shows (let’s keep it real, these type of shows totally revived and now sustain VH1) and the celebs (and I use that term loosely) that star in them get a big fat check in addition to publicity for their often waning careers.
I personally would never audition for a reality dating show but when I heard that one-half of “My Perfect Guy”, Chad Ocho Cinco, was getting a show, I had to check it out. (In case you are wondering, the other half of “My Perfect Guy” is Marc Lamont Hill but I digress.) The press release for
The good people over at Unrelated Family and Gypsy Soul presents the listening party for Erykah Badu and her new album “New Amerykah Pt. 2″ (return of the Ankh). Judging by the new music I've heard from her lately this should definitely be a great album to pick up. I guess there's no better way to find out then at the Listening Party.

Here goes some nice clean shades from The Hundreds to make all of the haters invisible this summer... The phoenix shades are real simple and will complement any outfit you throw together this summer. Nice colorways in purple in black.
I definitely enjoyed this movie by Spike Lee. I think it was a great depiction about African-Americans during the world war's and how important their roles were in leading our country to victory. If you haven't seen it, make sure you pick it up soon.
Here's a nice joint that I've had playing in the rotation since I heard it. Prowler 2 coming out on the Ski Beatz 24 Hour Karate School. Got this over off of 2dopeboyz. Good lookin out to my man Greg for the alley oop! Check it out Here.
A new video from Pac Div. We know you've seen these guys on here before and this song shows why we're still big fans. Enjoy!
Just found my old Prodigy CD, Lookin for some of that Goodie Mob in the crates as we speak!
Some nice footwork by Alexander McQueen! I can picture seeing my future wife walking toward me on a nice spring day, rocking these with some sexy cargo's and a sexy tank-top, while her hair's blowing in the wind, with the nice bag that really set off the outfit. Can some lady out there make this dream into my reality! Grab a pair of these from the new spring line Here!
This is the type of party that we live for at W-N-O! Adidas has done it again with another great commercial featuring a great cast. All I have to say is that our invite must have been lost in the mail because these are the great times that W-N-O loves to have! I hope they have more of these to come for the upcoming spring!
A nice one from J. Cole and Young Chris. I look forward two hearing more from these two in the future. I've definitely been waiting on that Young Chris album for a while, but until then we gotta take what we get. Check it out Here.
I swear the people at Nike and Jordan have a conspiracy to take all of my money this year. Just saw these and I had post them. I remember when these first came out when I was in high school. Our Varsity basketball team broke them out on a soft Thursday night, can't remember who we played, but that didn't even matter. All everyone talked about was how the whole team made such a statement with these kicks on! It felt like we were watching the Fab Five change the culture of Basketball all over again(do your research if you don't know what I'm talking about)!
These are some nice one's that I heard the other day that took me back to care free living. Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz and we couldn't forget the homie Biggie(R.I.P)! Enjoy
In less then one week you'll be able 2 find W-N-O down in Austin, TX for the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music and Film Festival. Honestly we can't wait! We are excited to check out the new artist, and independent films at this years festival. It's going to be an exciting 3days in Austin. Make sure you stay tuned during next week for updates of the Festival. Hit the inbox if you're going to be at SXSW next week too, let us know what you have planned!!!
I'm real upset I won't be in NY this weekend to take advantage of this crazy sample sale that will be taking place! However if you're in NY make sure you stop by and take advantage of some nice lines like 10Deep, Acapulco Gold, In4mation and others!
Here's another nice track from Kidz In The Hall called "Take Over the World". This is a nice lil anthem to help you get focused anytime you lose sight of your goals... Colin Munroe delivers a great hook in support to the duo on this track! Check it out Here!
Spring 2010 - Lookbook Preview Vid from 10 Deep on Vimeo.
Here's a nice remix to the Kidz in the Hall release "Flickin" done by Nick Catchdubs & Proper Villans. It sounds exactly like what I thought it would... Nice bass and tempo, great to throw on for House or Club Music. Enjoy!!!!

Here are a few of the latest pieces from The Hundreds. I'm definitely digging the chalk outline of the trademark Adam Bomb, it's nice clean and to the point. I can honestly say The Hundreds never go wrong when they do a variation on their Adam Bomb collection. 
Now I'm a big fan of this shoe right hear. I think I have multiple versions of this shoe sitting on the rack in my room. I have to say that Asics did a good job creating some nice colorways for the ladies to rock this spring. It will definitely be a good look around April when the weather is finally stable and the ladies start to break out those nice spring outfits... Ahh yes I can't wait..Sorry got sidetracked, but Ladies go cop soon!

Looks like you will find W-N-O in the nations capital on U. St. this Friday. In addition to the Great Event featuring Georgia Me(the @ttic at Station 9), there will also be a live performance by AB of AB and the Souljourners. This show will be at LIV right down the street from Station 9. The last time I checked out his show it was great! I'm a big fan of Live shows and this is definitely up their with some of the better one's I've seen. I hope this one lives up to the last show I saw. Too many options to choose from, but this always makes for a good night! If you're in the area hit up both spots station 9 and LIV. Whatever you do make it a great weekend!
ESPN recently showed a documentary a few weeks ago about the death of Len Bias. I'm sure a lot of people know the story of his unfortunate passing, but if you don't this is a great documentary to see. I always heard rappers make illusions to Len Bias, whether it be about his game or his OD, but the documentary really gives you insight on how his death impacted so much in the 80's i.e.: the downfall of UMD's basketball, but probably more importantly laws that were created off of crack! However you really have to see this documentary to really appreciate where I'm coming from. To look at the upcoming schedule and various clips click here.
Nike just got real ignorant on the shoe game for the spring... I'm literally burning bread trying to keep up with all of these must have releases that have been coming out lately. I have to say these new AirMax's are great. I need a nice connect in Amsterdam to pick up these Parra x Patta AM 1's. Not to out do the ladies Nike is also releasing these fresh AM 1's with nice seafoam green, yellow and orange blending so well together.. Honestly I'm not gonna lie, I'd def cop those for a random day in the summer. Either way these are collection killers that definitely need to be purchased.
