Race Blenders

Race Blenders

The people at Monktree Productions unleashed the short film, Race Blenders. The spoof pokes fun at the whole controversy around the casting process for The Last Airbender. Two Asian Americans wonder what if they were white in Hollywood. Would they fit the “type” that Hollywood is looking for? The names of the people were changed to protect the innocent guilty.

Lots of great comedy shorts popping up online recently. Check out Ninja Say What?!, REPRESENT, Take You Home, and The New Adventures of Johnny Karate & Golden Delicious

FM SATELLITES – Episode 30

FM Satellites - Episode 30

In the latest FM Satellites, Far East Movement went to see Cherrytree Records Label mates La Roux live at the sold out Nokia Live show in Los Angeles. Then, they hit up Arizona where we linked up with DJ Neil Armstrong (Jay-z’s Tour DJ) and performed at Myst in Scottsdale that night. Next day they got a call from Cherry Cherry Boom Boom that our song “Like A G6” hit 28 on Itunes in Canada and celebrate in the airport. Guess that tour in Canada paid off for FM.
