  • Presenting the Yoshida Brothers

    You know I’m a sucker for traditional music fused with modern music, so it wasn’t a surprise that I’ve gone pretty nuts about the Yoshida Brothers thanks to this post.

    Though I am unsure on how their discography works (Japanese releases and International releases), since I don’t know if all of the albums contain different songs, or if some of the releases are just compilation of others.

    Anyway, Rising blew me away.

    as did KODO (literally meaning palpitation)

    but not only do they do this, they also do fusion with blues, latin music, and even celtic!

  • Hoverboard by Nils Guadagnin

    You know Back to the Future? xD
    You know the hovering skate board Marty used?

    I would so totally try to get this if it worked.

    The Hoverboard is a project made by Nils guadagnin, a young french artist. This work is born in 2008 for an exhibition named “Back To the future”.

    It is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air.

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×20 – Theatricality

    Or should I say scene? or situation?

    Because, oh Principal Figgins! You do believe vampires are real!

    Principal Figgins: It has come to my attention that the look you [talking to Tina] sport is what is known as “Goth”. American teens are coming down with a serious case of Twilight Fever, transformed from normal children into vampires obssessed with the occult, and only yesterday this dark specter reared its head at McKinley High.

  • Lee Hyori for Guerilla Date Interview

    Hmm… wouldn’t it be GUERRILLA? Just saying.

    Julz has decided to send me anything regarding Hyori (or Bi), and well… can’t really complain, can I? But to be honest, this Guerilla Date show scares the crap out of me. Fans in hordes scare me.

    Having said that, Hyori is such a good idol. She is SO charismatic, and she’s not scared of making fun of herself — maybe that comes from hanging out so much with Jaesuk. OJO! I didn’t say she’s a great artist or performer, I said idol. She’s got so much personality, and you can’t help but keep looking.

    Hyori cracked me up with talks about comparisons with Beyonce and Lady Gaga… blond wigs, and smiling with her gums. Don’t worry, unnie. Your smiling face is the best ;P

  • Rain and Lee Hyori Dance Parodies~

    I totally spit everything on my desk, when my friend sent this over.

    Of course, you do know I pimped Bi and Hyori to western audiences last week.

  • My Best Post Blog-a-Thon!

    I included my post of AfterEllen East Asian Suggestions to the Best Post Blog-a-Thon over at He Shot Cyrus. I was blogged over the weekend, and I got to read some of them awesome posts. My favorites were:

    Now, I need to catch up with the following Blog-a-Thon posts.

  • Hanson – Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’

    Oh MY GAWD.

    I know there’s so many posts today, but this is so frakin’ contagious. It is a bit unsettling to put Hanson and the word “dancing” in the same sentence, but this song is just… so… damn catchy. I can’t even remember the lyrics, but I want to clap my hands and learn the dance. I am suspecting I am so totally buying the album next month.

    Also, maybe not a candidate for Breakthrough video… but definitely a candidate for Music Video with Dance in It… I might just not give it a choreography title, but it’s a dance video nonetheless~~~

    Does anyone feel back in the 90s with this?

  • Shappi Khorsandi – Live at the Apollo Hamersmith

    Just saw her on an interview with Jonathan Ross, an even though she used some of the same jokes. This clip is worth the watch, if you’ve never seen her. Oh, those whores of Babylon~

  • Movies R Fun by Josh Cooley

    Animation Story Artist Josh Cooley (from Pixar’s Ratatouille and Up fame) is releasing a book in a very stylish a la Pixar concept art about grown up films. Perhaps the kiddies will just not get the movie references on this one.

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×19 – Dream On

    Last night was the Whedon episode, featuring Neil Patrick Harris.
    Can I just say I love NPH even more?

    Glee didn’t quite feel like Glee with Whedon directing. Maybe it was because the episode wasn’t really over-the-top like other times, but it wasn’t overly sappy, either. Whedon’s style seems to just flow… or maybe it was the storyline.

    Anyway… did you miss the irony of this one scene?

    Bryan Ryan: Sue, you’re an impressive woman. I can’t tell you how much you turn me on right now. You ever heard of the term “anger sex”.
