Look what the dueling Whole Foods parking lot videos has spawned. The original, by Berkeley-raised David Wittman, aka DJDave (now in LA), inspired local LaeCharles’ Berkeley remix. (It also prompted Berkeley-born Delia Brown to make “Revenge of the Black Prius“). Now, in fine style, DJDave has come back with DJDave, U Not BERKELEY Enough, featuring LaeCharles. […]
