The rematch it looks like.

#FAVORITESFRIDAY [1.20.2012]

Friday, January 20th, 2012

Here are the team’s picks of the week.  A few videos, some entrees and more awesome tidbits.

We all know Snoop Dogg is a very influential person, but to see a brand/influencer/film fan such as Snoop support a powerful and historical film like Red Tails is phenomenal. Really enjoyed interviewing him for the event recap. ” -Misty, @LuvlyIzMe

Cindy Yen took home Beijing Pop Music Awards for “Best Stylistic Breakthrough Artist” and “Best Single” for “Trap”, a joint I co-wrote and co-produced last year. The video is here. And yes, we’re both from h-town. – James, @jameskoo

This video makes me I wish I grew up in the 2010′s. Studying would have been so much more fun and engaging. This almost makes me want to go back to school just so I can use this. Can’t help but to be hopeful and excited for future generations growing up though. – Tim, @itisTimbo

“Big game this weekend, and this song is a good way to get pumped!” – Kyle, @kyledineen

Shout out to the Boston Market marketing crew for the $3.00 discount coupon! – Kelly, @kwoocash

Billboard’s #1 Latin Song since its release,”Promise” by Anthony “Romeo” Santos feat. Usher. I love this song because it brings together 2 of my favorite genres: Bachata & R&B. Not to mention I love bachata dancing! Maybe I can get the Cashmere team into latin dancing…hmm. – Selene, @Ms_Sele

Rip Curl has again created a technological world-first by capturing full-tilt surfing action using a “30 camera Array” — a line of cameras firing consistently as surfers ride towards and past it. The results are unique “frozen moments of time” – that can be viewed in a combination of angles for a true in the round perspective.  Rip Curl and TimeSlice, partners in the overall development, used GoPro HD video cameras to freeze an infinite number of moments that could be viewed. – Kristen, @TambyBear

One of my favorite dishes? Ramen. Yum (: – Chary, @viaCHARY

Favorite Friday exotic food.. Korean Duck – Joseph, @Jo_AktiveNLA

I had lunch with Joseph at Sun Han Jang and enjoyed sharing a cultural moment with him. – Alice, @alice_han

This is one of my favorite songs from Schoolboy Q‘s new album #HnC (Habits n Contradictions) and then this morning the video dropped.  I think it captures the mood of the song perfectly.  Also Schoolboy & ASAP Rocky’s chemistry works so well for them to be from opposite coasts. – Brandon, @Eazee

The Star Wars dog chorus.  Discovered this commercial last night and can’t stop re-watching and laughing. Just hoping I beat Ryan to this. You’re welcome. – Anthony, @antpooh

Me and Nip have at least one thing in common. We both went to Asia for the first time. Me to Korea and him to Japan. This video shows that he did a flyer job of documenting his trip. Of course I didn’t have original music available for mine. - Ryan, @fordryan

Favorite video of the week.  It’s amazing how the trainers were able to train this wild animal to do the cabbage patch.  Definitely helping me get through this busy day. – Aron, @womenbeshopping

ANONYMOUS DOWNS GOVERNMENT & MUSIC INDUSTRY WEBSITES

Friday, January 20th, 2012

In what they called a retaliation for the Department of Justice seizure of Megaupload yesterday, the collective known as Anonymous hacked into and took down websites for Universal Music Group, RIAA, Motion Picture Association of America, the FBI and the Department of Justice.  This was the largest cyber attack ever.  “It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,” Anonymous operative Barrett Brown told RT on Thursday afternoon.  The Megaupload event came the day after the huge web “blackout” movement that was in protest against SOPA & PIPA (two anti-piracy initiatives).  With all these events happening could a cyber war be on the horizon.  What are your thoughts?
