Since I was bummed over the closing of Mixwit, I had almost decided to go back to Deezer. Luckily! !!! I got and email from the people at Mixwit saying they had made backups of the previously done mixtapes~~~ SO NOW!! They’re BACK!!!!
And even more AWESOME??? The Mixwit-tapey player is now a widget! And open-sourced MixWidget~~ So head over to MixWidget.org to download the player and use it on your own… or if you fancy~ you can get the source code. NIFTY!

Oh, we LOVE it when YouTube has region restrictions, no?
You’d think Britney Spears fans around the world, and not only located in the US would try to watch her videos on YouTube. I would get the ‘age restriction’ – but come on! who hasn’t lied into those signup forms before, right? – But hey! Not only I can’t watch Britney videos from BritneyTV… I also found a lot of other music videos (eg. Cobrastyle by Robyn) that I couldn’t watch because of this. As if!
Anyway, I had just found out Britney released her new video (third, I think) – If You Seek Amy… which I thought was the best track on Circus… not because my name is featured, but because it’s actually kind of smart and sassy. The video SUCKS though… she hasn’t made a good video since she stopped having general shots of choreography. You can’t deny the close shots and quick edits while ‘dancing’ is to hide the fact that she’s not moving much.
Here’s the video,
(more…)
I must have died and gone to heaven… xD I’m listening to Salyu, who just released a two-track single titled Corteo/HALFWAY, which you can download over at the Salyu LJ Community… which I just found. Heaven!
There, I also found out that Salyu’s turn as Lily Chou Chou on the Shunji Iwai film of the similar name (where Yu shows up) that sprang a double album… including Breathe (Kokyu) has been re-released. Why is that GOOD? Well, because Kokyu was totally sold out online… and it’s probably one of the finest contemporary albums out there. So now I just gotta get money to buy it hahahahaha.
CD Japan – $24.26
YesAsia – $27.25
Amazon.co.jp – 2.500 Yen
Also, apparently… she also released Mercmal in THREE different editions… the regular (of course!), one limited edition with a DVD of a concert in Yohohama, and another limited edition with and extra album with her collaboration work. Call me crazy, I want just the DVD with her collaboration work, I think. I’m split! I think I want the concert more… since apparently the other only has 3 tracks? I’m not sure I want to pay +$30 for a greatest hits album… I’m undecided!!! LOL
Let’s see…
Amazon.co.jp has the two limited edition out of stock, and only has the regular one at 3000 Yen
CD JAPAN has the limited collaboration edition at $32.99, and the regular edition at $29.11.
And YesAsia still has the limited with DVD edition at $40.25, the regular edition at $31.25.
I’ll leave you with the Salyu Merkmal 2009 Tour pics. Wish she’d come here xD
For some of Salyu’s discography, check this post.
I interrupt all those BackStreet Boys posts to show you my Facebook album/music application… I’m not an apps whore. I do not add every single application and ‘nifty’ test I get send by my friends. In fact, I almost always block everything now. Because I’m a bitch like that… LOL’ I do, however, have a couple of applications I always use… mainly Music, Movies, Books, and TV… the seldom Flickr one and those are pretty much that from public applications. I also use a travel application, but that’s estrictly for myself…
Anyway… here it goes~~~
Okay, if you haven’t read the Quickie one, do so here –
I needed some time to find the setlist, which I couldn’t really find so you’ll have to rely on my memory and how it connects the online videos of the concert. Lucky for you, Wikipedia did a fairly good job… I think.
Here’s the songs that were played:
It’s 4.20am, so quit it. I worked hard to get those photos out as soon as I could… over 700 photos, that were reduced to a little over 600, because 100 shots were awful. I managed to get at least 20% useable photos, some pretty good too~
But you’ll see…
All photos are not public yet, only half… but I’m already tired. They will be made public this afternoon. They are about 145 photos. Low resolution… big enough to post online and share via e-mail. If you do, a link back to amy-wong.com ~~ you’d better do.
For bigger resolution, I mean… RAW files~ or big JPGs, email me~ all contact info needed in the following link with the photos…
Head over here… watch and read.
That one up there is a big stitch… 4 photos into one.
… Review.
Just got back about 30min. ago from the BackStreet Boys concert in Lima.
And the only thing I have to say, I was not dissapointed. Even though the event started as annoying, and the male Bouncers lack the BALLS. Guess what! Female Bouncers carry the balls around these concerts~ Yes, they were the only ones who didn’t take shit from those who wanted to stand in the alley.
Arrived just in time, when Adammo was singing. Meh, they were okay~~ Their lights sucked though, so couldn’t get many pictures. They had that chick from Latin American Idol… you know, the one everyone says can’t sing? LOL’ – what’s her name… Sandra Muente – The girls behind me actually said Nicole Pillman sings better. I’m of the opinion neither does that great…
Then came Belanova, which was an UMPH better than Adammo, but hey! They are supposed to be less new, right? But stil, wasn’t too impressed with them. The lead singer, Denisse Guerrero, reminded me of Jenny Schecter… which is not exactly a good thing, you know? – Mia Kirshner is prettier though.
And UGH, did they have to sing something from High School Musical? WTF, whatever song that was. High School Musical, please~~~ get a fucking grip! Funny thing is, when the singer announced it was their last song and they were leaving us with the BackStreet Boys, everyone stood up and SCREAMED their shit out. I actually felt really bad for both groups…
I did see a bunch buying the Adammo album though, so not so bad about it.
The WORSE part about those two, and the waiting for the BSB show was the freaking fans trying to sneak in the front rows through pretending to ‘just stand’ in the alley. Funniest shit about that? Everyone united together in a freaking epic battle against them calling the Bouncers, and shouting at them.
Once the police got involved – you know, nothing too serious… they just came in – all those ‘people’ (more like cattle) went to their backseats, and we all cheered just like Mel on Braveheart. Hilarious.
Then finally, the lights went out and the show began. It was AWESOME. Just what I’m gonna say until I get to work on my photos which will probably be in the afternoon, after my class. I took my 8Gb card, and it’s at least filled up to half. According to my calculations, I should be going through around 700 or 800 high resolution photographs.
In the meantime? How about some BSB Twitter…
OMG Peru!!! You guys are NO joke.
Wow. We almost killed a lot of Peruvian people. They were attacking our car and we almost ran over a whole lot of you.
LOL!
Just a tease… the show had a bunch of medleys of good old BSB songs – Quit Playin’ Games, I’ll Never Break your Heart, As Long As You Love Me, All I Have to Give, Everybody, Larger than Life, I Want it that Way, Show me the Meaning, The One, Spanish Eyes… or in this case “Peruvian Eyes” LOL, The Call, Shape of my Heart, More than That, Incomplete~~
Can’t really recall if they sang Everyone though~~
Videos online should be making its way through the week~
Photos this afternoon, or over the weekend~~~
Also! They said they were making the new album (as they mention on Twitter), and that they’d be back.
Oh yeah~
BackStreet Boys are finally in Lima. Actually, I just found out – because I was checking in case tomorrow’s concert was canceled… but no, it’s not. I’m excited. xD
But to tell you the truth, apparently not AS excited as some of the fans that went to the airport.
Crazy violent video, eh? Well, the guys are also twittering~~ and here are some of their funny twittering, typos and all~~ from their arrival to Lima.
OMG- Lima, Peru is crazy yo!! Hundreds upon hundreds of you at the airport. Wonder how the rest of the tour is going to stack up! Viva Peru!
Mmmmm…..Pisco Sours! Said in Homer Simpson style- HD + BL
Ceviche Time!! HD, Brock and Nic
Can you believe I’m eating again?? Howie
we are eating Loma Saltado! – (yes, they did type “loma” instead of “lomo”) xD
See… everyone loves eating. Actually, I just had my fair bit of eating~~~ I did Chinese food though… REALLY good nonetheless~~
Anyway, am super excited for the concert. And should be going to bed to BSB music tonight to get in the mood.
xD – Just found me, while looking for times at the NHK Premium website – yes, ‘coz I still haven’t figured out if I will be able to see Yu talk about that book I mentioned posts behind… – not sure it will air in NHK Premium. What I did find, however, the times that Top Runner airs~~~
Wednesdays 6am GMT-5 – if you recall… Top Runner had Yu a while back. Check back on it here.
But yeah, on the J-MELO business… I emailed them once to thank them for the Miyavi introduction, as well as the Kobukuro one~~ And being the geek that I am, I sent a picture coz there was a field~ xD – I wonder if they ever read my email on the air… hahaha.
Bummer~ Couldn’t find some tracks from the playlist I made in my iPod~~ 5 in fact, ARGH! And Deezer won’t even let me play some of the songs that I did find… They should let you add your own mp3 from a URL, right? Like MixWit used to??
Screw you Deezer, buahaha~
Here’s my YouTube Playlist~
