  • OK GO – End Love

    Another single from their album Of The Blue Colour of the Sky.
    Directed by OK Go, Eric Gunther, and Jeff Lieberman~

    After their first and second album, and a couple of listens to them… OK Go are seriously hit or miss for me. I used to dig tracks like Here We Go Again, and C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips and stuff like that, but now it gets boring quite easily. Their videos, however, you just want to keep on watching.

    I don’t think they surpassed themselves, though. I mean, This Too Shall Pass, right?

    PS: The duck makes me laugh. xD

  • Japanese Music for June 2010!

    I really wanted to change one of the songs, but the song I wanted to add has escaped my mind. I have only heard it a couple of times, so the group didn’t stick with me… only the description as “they look like the Japanese Rolling Stones” – They lead singer even looked a bit Mick Jaggerish with his skinny pants and his movements. The song name — I suppose — is KIMOCHI, but because it has such a name, it seems impossible to Google. Do you know the song I’m talking about?

    The guys kept singing KIMOCHI, and I’m pretty sure it was written in Katakana.

    Anyway, if you know… leave a message~

    *EDIT*
    Yes, I found it. I’m so good. xD Took 2hrs though xD

    In the meantime, you gotta listen to this new Japanese mix~

  • Mark Ronson & The Business INTL – Bang Bang Bang

    Mark Ronson featuring QTIP and MNDR.

    I really enjoyed Ronson’s last album, and I think he’s a really great producer. However, I think he really dropped the ball with this song… or maybe I just don’t like his type of music any longer. Honestly, it’s been ages since I heard anything from him xD

    But the French and Japanese? Sounds so weird.

    Does anyone feel the video is so Liveman or Flashman? [why the 90’s ruled]

  • Hello Xiami.com

    Hi, China! You rock.

    Right next to Haoting.com, there’s Xiami.com – whose name makes little sense to me… apparently it means Dried Shrimps. Huh, right? xD Anyway, seems like it has a pretty collection of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Western music…

    No region restrictions!

    Highlights? Which we reviewed and rated on the latest YAM~~~

    Just hit the PLAY button there.

    Also, big info!

    Bibi’s soon-to-be released i.Light.Fish album contains a song written by Diane Warren. *Excited*

  • jonsi – go stream

    I have been enjoying this for a little more than a week.

    just spent $35 USD on the limited edition… just to proof that you pay for the goods.

    so stop complaining music and movie industry. just make good stuff happen.

  • Early YAM 010!

    MY85 made me realize that tomorrow is the 13th, so I decided to release this today.

    Thanks to Julz, who’s always a diligent writer.
    and MY85… and well, Maca who keeps tracks of her films.

    I just want you to head over here.

  • Breakbot Featuring Irfane – Baby I’m Yours

    Directed by Irina Dakeva, this very 70-ish feel video is composed by around 200 watercolor images. Of course, the music had to come from Ed Banger Records, who gave us the kick-ass Justice D.A.N.C.E Video.

  • Lady Gaga – Alejandro

    Cross-dressing in the military, leather-clad nun, and… that’s spandex, right? I dunno what I think about this video, it looks kinda good, but meh… everything is just okay. Song is bland.

    Your thoughts?

  • Eminem – Not Afraid

    When I heard the song, I thought it was good… but with the video — Man, I dunno if it’s because it’s chilly today, but it totally gave me the shivers. Even if NeoMinem looks a little too much like CGI.

    I dunno what Eminem did to his face, but there’s a little quiver when he’s in that brick room rapping.
