Bullets Thru the Fire
FAKE FLOWERS REAL DIRT
Germ
Master turntableist / alien shapeshifter Franklin Alowishus Kanady IV is a man of many names. Ladies all over the USA know him as "Grinder Beasley". South of the border, he's known as "El Scratchini". The underground scene calls him "Mammoth" and in the band Fake Flowers Real Dirt, he goes simply by "GERM".
Frank's vinyl collection is so extensive that he had to purchase a separate mansion to house his records
(organized autobiographically of course). He even has the only known copy of the "Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E." anthology on mini-disc. To showcase his otherworldly skills, once a year, "GERM" will travel outside of his body and perform simultaneous shows in different parts of the world (coming soon to youtube).




When Frank was a teenager, he lost both of his hands in separate incidents. He lost his right hand in a battle with the evil Darth Vader (long story) and his left hand while noodling for honey badgers in the serengeti. Ultimately, his arms had to be retrofitted with robotic hands. In order to get his speed under control, GERM studied under Chuck Norris, Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Ray Leonard and David Blaine. He's now so fast, you would actually need to watch him via time lapsed photography to see anything that he does.
"GERM" graduated "top of his class" at the DJ Scratch Academy and has a doctorate in "cold rocking it". He got his movie debut in "Breakin" (1984) but due to a breakdown in his contract, they had to superimpose "DJ Qbert's" face over his. Frank was one of the founding members of local Hip-Hop supergroup "Smoke" and also partnered with FFRD's Billy D William as part of the original dub/junglists "The Big Hurt". The movie "High Fidelity" starring John Cusack was actually based loosely on Frank's personal life.
It should also be worth mentioning that "GERM" was the first person to ever put his weiner between a pair of couch cushions and he really enjoys "quotation marks".
