  • The WB’s Popular Music?

    If you were a fan of The WB’s Popular, you were probably a fan of its music… or at least a couple of the tunes. Anyway, back in the day… I was probably a big BIG fan of the show, proven by this:

    The WB\'s Popular - Fan-made - OST

    Looks pretty darn good, non? I made it, actually… this backcover looks much better than the cover, because obviously I spend 3-times more hours on it. I even took the trouble to find the Warner, Sony Music (why?), Columbia (why?) logos, and the text I got from some Warner Music albums I own.

    This is the tracklist I made in 2001, I probably have a whole bunch of other tracks, so now it will likely be a double-disc. Shall I work on a Vol. 2? xD

    1. Kendall Payne – Supermodels (Popular’s Main Theme)
    2. Tyrese Lately
    3. Wiseguys – Ooh La La
    4. Dido – Honestly OK
    5. Groove Armada – I See You Baby
    6. David Bowie – Changes
    7. Youngstown – Will You Marry Me? (Cheesy Boy Band Song)
    8. Vitamin C – Not that Kind of Girl
    9. SisQo – Thong Song
    10. Sugarhill Gang – Rapper’s Delight
    11. Spandau Ballet – True
    12. Sir Mix-a-Lot – Baby Got Back
    13. Falco – Rock Me Amadeus
    14. Sydney Forest – High School Highway (Popular’s End Theme)

    Will You Marry Me? is the only poorly ripped from TV track. Care to add other tracks in the show that were on the original broadcast? I know of some… Actually, take that back. I found the post back up~ Will post that up later…

    **EDIT**
    I think I have most of the tracks, but Season 2 information is very lackin’ – If you’ve got song info from the original broadcast that is missing, please post away~~~ xD

    I am pretty sure I’m better designing now, so maybe I should re-make this album xD. It’s not like there are the best hi-res Popular stills out there… someone help? ^^

  • If You Missed Anna Tsuchiya on CNN…

    Here’s a few links for you…

    Was anyone reminded of Christina Ricci on this TalkAsia interview? I was… LOL’ – But then again… my dad was reminded of Christina Ricci today when watching Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. He thought Bette Davis reminded him of Christina Ricci… so maybe, is it Remember Christina Ricci Day??

    Anyway, here are the links…

    Part 1 – Model Actress Singer
    Part 2 – Breaking the Mold – LOL… no PURESHA~~~ xD
    Part 3 – Facing the Future

    Did anybody get the shivers from er… Anna’s skinniness? Just me?

  • TalkAsia Editions You Might’ve Missed

    I know, my sucky last post that begun as a notification of less buying, turned into reporting that Anna Tsuchiya will (or was) on this week’s TalkAsia. If my calculations were correct, it aired today at 8AM, when I wasn’t really up yet… so I’ll be catching it tomorrow at 8PM instead.

    If I don’t get to catch it, I will try to see it online… just like I miss Jay Chou, I thought maybe some of you were looking for some missed editions… so I’m posting the TalkAsia with Jay Chou, Bi (Rain) and Lee-Hom Wang that I found…

    (more…)

  • If things continue like this…

    I will have to buckle up, and not buy movies and music. No money! Market’s are crashing… and keep on crashing, LOL’ All I can do is cross my finger so there’s a new job tomorrow. NE!?

    NEWSFLASH~

    Anna Tsuchiya will be on Talk Asia (CNN)~ LOL – Gosh! Who can understand me! Amy!!! Buckel up, NO MONEY!
    ALL TIMES GMT
    Wednesday, Oct 8: 13.00
    Thursday, Oct 9: 03.00 (I’ll be watching this on Thursday at 8pm)
    Saturday, Oct 11: 14.30
    Monday, Oct 13: 02.00

    Last, last… last? Time, I missed Jay Chou… I ended up watching it on YouTube. But there’s nothing like catching it on TV…

    Talk Asia should do one on Juri Ueno or Yu Aoi, non? HA!

    SORRY for the topic change, blame the commercial on TV.

  • Looking back on the X-Files~

    Oh man… I just watched an episode of The X-Files, spanish-dubbed… it took me back! LOL’ It’s the dubbed I grew up watching… not that I was an avid X-File viewer, but I did from time to time. I still remember the episode where there was a ‘chupacabra’ – CHUPACABRA!!! I love how they say it in English, SO PHUNNY. xD ~you know, like that episode on Charmed where Piper says it~ Anyway!

    Moving on… today, on channel Space, they were showing an episode with the guy who played Dr. Romano on ER… he was some cancer-man, and needed cancer to survive. He had gotten his head chopped off from a car accident at the beginning of the ep, and grew it back up! xD – Also featuring on that episode, there was the actress I’ve seen on an episode of Shirley Holmes… HA! If I recall correctly she was ‘Barbie’ with a B, or something like that… xD Season 3, episode The Case of the Real Fake. LOL’

    Anyway, the episode was kinda creepy still… all kinda bad effects and all. Aww… I miss TV like that. xD – You know, TV with old school effects, makeup… I think I deserve a dose of good ol’ The Storyteller, with Jim Henson~ NE?

  • Amy is Watching~~

    … what am I watching this TV fall season? It’s TV talk!! I went through 2 seasons of Dexter last month in a whim… and I just recently finished watching season 4 of Weeds, which I wasn’t so happy with, even though I heart Mary-Louise Parker. But what is moi watching now?

    Well since TV…. here isnt’t er… very prompt with seasons – roughly waiting an average of 3 months for popular shows, and more… even a whole year – I’ve got to find other ways to watch, because I don’t like waiting.

  • Can’t believe it’s October Already!

    Amy post! I’m currently typing while listening to Salyu’s debut… ‘landmark’ – I’ve been listening to it for the past two days, repeating out loud what I could make out from just listening. Ha! Listening and pronunciation practice xD

    Coding… coding either bores me, or gives me headache. I don’t know which one I prefer. T_T – But I make do.

    ANYWAY – (more…)

  • Emmy Awards Winners! – Tina Wins BIG!!

    Did you watch? I did, but I almost forgot, ha! So won’t go on about the red carpet stuff… Tina Fey won big! Best Actress, Best Writing in a Comedy… 30 Rock also won Best Actor, and Best Comedy Series~ But as I said before… I suck at Emmys~

    ALSO, House M.D won for Best Directing in a Drama Series for the episode House’s Head, which is by far the BEST I’ve seen on the show. Actually, I was ready to rant if it didn’t win LOL, because that episode literally blew me away~

    I was secretly hoping for Hugh Laurie (House M.D) or Michael C. Hall (Dexter) to win Best Actor in a Drama, as well as Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies) for Best Writing… but hence, Tina WON which she deserved~ xD

    Here’s a WIKI list of the winners…

    My favorite parts were almost all at the beginning… Heidi Klum in a tux, I would’ve actually prefered her wearing the tux, instead of the stripping… it actually make me think of Britney performing Satisfaction at the VMAs, xD – Though, I didn’t enjoy the whole multiple host thing, and all the rambling…

    I also enjoyed Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, her “WERRRRRRRRCOME” was hilarious, and note that she’s not pregnant~ HOW DARE WE! xD She’s gaining weight for a role x’D. And to end my faves, Ricky Gervais telling off Steve Carell about the Emmy throphy stealing xD

  • Osen OST Spotting?

    Last night I was surfing channels, and as I normally do when there’s nothing to watch on TV, I ended up on NHK. “Begin Japanology” was on (never seen it before), and they were showing how to make Dashi with some really thick seaweed, and with shavings of dried Bonito… which reminded me of Osen-san and the episode of the Katsuobushi. I will always laugh when remembering Osen-san physically assaulting the owner of the shop with the hard block of Katsuobushi… I’m telling you, priceless!

    Anyway, as the show went on, they showed the people that worked in the top kitchens in Kyoto, is in this sequence when a light tune begins playing. “I KNOW that TUNE!” I say~~ And I am 99% sure it was a track from the Osen OST because it’s one of my favorite pieces on the album…

    本物を見る目 (Honmono wo Mirume)
    Discerning Eye for the Genuine <- this is Amy’s translation
    and I don’t know if it’s correct, HA! But it will do~

    It’s track13 of 22, by Yugo Kanno.

    Does anybody know if it’s the track?

  • Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Are GOLD!

    I don’t get NBC (not anymore since 2000, I think), so I just watched. Did you watch? Amy Poehler is always Hillary Clinton’s gold, but Tina Fey just nailed Sarah Palin. LOL’ Just watch the clip~
