Our friends are doing some pretty awesome stuff lately, and I just had to share with you all. First off our brothers Far*East Movement have been doing big things like crazy. It’s “nuticulous” (credit: Tom Ngo). The past month they’ve done touring with Shwayze (those guys who had the MTV show “Buzzin”). They’re about to go on a HUGE tour with LMFAO. This is some mainstream stuff. But the kicker is what happened on the Finale of America’s Best Dance Crew last week. 
FM’s song “Girls on the Dance Floor” was played on the show!!!
Now, I didn’t watch a single episode this season, but ya know how Mario Lopez (aka AC Slater from “Saved by the Bell”) always intros a performance by saying the song and artists… dude, he said “FarEast Movement”! Mario Lopez, to a worldwide audience of millions just introduced and played their song. I was soooo proud. If I was FM, growing up watching Saved by the Bell, and you told me that some day AC Slater would mention my name, I’d be like…no wayzz.
Heh, anyway, congrats to the FM boys on this major play. Step by step, making their way to mainstreatm, it’s awesome. You can watch the clip below.
And if that weren’t enough…last night, their song “Dance Like Michael Jackson” (the song we made a music video for along with Quest Dance Crew) was on Gossip Girl. Check out the clip below (thanks to Jordyce for recording).
Dang, that’s so crazy! To be able to say “our music is on major television”. Props FM, major props. Boys and girls, this is called “hard work paying off” =) I’m taking notes.
Continuing on our list of friends doing awesome stuff… our buddy David Choi is in South KOREA! As we just flew back from Asia, David was headed out. He’s playing a couple shows over there and took the chance to visit some family he hasn’t seen in decades. Being the diligent YouTuber he is, David has thankfully been uploading videos of his time in Korea and it’s pretty cool. Nothing crazy, just simple videos showing his family and how they live out there.
Doesn’t it seem so peaceful over there? Such simple lives. I was talking to David last night and we were saying how important it is to see family, learn from them, and try to understand where we came from. Man, imagine all the crazy stuff that happened in your parents lives, your grandparents lives, before you even existed. We can’t even comprehend.
Wishing more safe travels to David and successful shows over there. I think he may not want to come back anytime soon, it’s so nice over there. Take your time David!
Doesn’t he look so much like his grandpa? That’s what he’s going to look like in 70 years.

I was just watching SYTYCD.. and I’m pretty sure that I just heard FM music for the Hip Hop Audition in the group auditions. If I’m right, then it’s great that they’re really spreading out in the mainstream now!

Nice little remix of Girls on the Dance Floor! Definitely a pro song to finish ABDC on.
You noticed I was the guy that recorded FM on Gossip Girl. ^^ That was also Tyra freakin’ Banks in the background when that music was playing. Pretty damn big!
David Choi’s grandparents are good musicians too. Runs in the family?
