In case you missed CicLAvia 2011, you can peep these vids by Swank and Modem to get a good idea of what it was like. L.A. street minus cars equals a big win for all!
This video/song is so many shades of wrong (besides ripping off Blur,) I debated even posting about it. Graffiti is really now just a fashion accesory. First, modelette Patty Hearst thinks she's down with the sickness; and now, Miss Thang Lindsay Lohan picks up a spraycan... I guess the "art scene" really is poppin'. Terrible.
(And if watching the whole video ain't enough for you, there's a 'making of' showing us how Lindsay gets down with the street art here.)
Here's another truck for "foodies" to chase around featuring Cantinflas. (Not sure if they have a tuiter though, so might haveta actually explore the city to find it...)
I subjected myself to some audio-visual waterboarding-level type torture to nab these screenshots. I got 'em from a "music" video by a $inger that I still can't believe is not some female Weird Al or SNL type of parody... Anyways, I won't put anyone through the pain and post the "song" but, yup, there does appear to be a mural Cache and I worked on with a few other homies in the background!

(I had thought of clever titles for this post like: "Getting Busted for Tagging is The New Black" or "Gold Spray Paint by Vera Wang" and even "Douchey Fashion Mag Declares Vandalism Conviction The Must-Have Accesory This Season," but I decided to keep it neutral. Wordamercy!)
