  • BackStreet Boys with Straight Through my Heart

    LOL

    I know… just to close the month with something not charged.

    I woke up this morning with a post by Electro^Plankton~

    I don’t care what anybody says. I love them even without Kevin. Secretly I’m holding out for a full reunion with all 5 members, at least for a live performance.

    that made me think it sounded like me. But read the post because it’s funny.

    Anyway, the guys are releasing a brand new album (This is Us) this coming October (6th, in case you wonder) and apparently they’ll be going back to their old sound of R&B(ish) sounding Pop tunes that was so popular before, which to tell you the truth I’m not that thrill (not overly anyway) because I did enjoy their new sound, guitar driven rock-ish sounding pop ballads… but I did enjoy tracks like “Treat me Right” (produced by Nsync’s JC), so we’ll see…

    In any case… BSB is promoting the album with the single Straight Through my Heart with a er… new video, which isn’t anything out of this world, but it has nice colors xD – but it does have cheesy vampire eyes and stuff~~~, and then there’s RollingStones who has a new interview up in their website.

    Call them pop’s longest-running, most persistent group. Call them men, not boys. Just don’t call it a comeback.

    For some reason it seems like the person who wrote the article was told to do an article on them, and she didn’t want to. It happens… after all Rolling Stones works with record companies to secure promotion and stuff.

    I just want to hear what Max Martin can produce now… xD
    If You Seek Amy wasn’t a let down xD and I’m pretty sure Bad Influence had his credits also.

  • Sexy Schoolgirls~

    Oh, you love them. I know you do. LOL

    It didn’t start with Britney, but I’m gonna pick on her just because I don’t want to search and post common photos of Denise Richards back in her Wild Things days. LOL

    Britney Spears - Baby One More Time

    There’s an article, by a dude that talks about this… again. Is it misogynistic? Regular fantasy? Wrong, right? Where do you draw the line? (more…)

  • Modest Mouse – King Rat by Heath Ledger

    More Heath! Take a look at the music video he was working on.
    The video has humans and whales on inverted roles…
    cruel, but sorta funny. I’ve got a dark sense of humor.

  • Weekend Shorts

    Reuters is reporting that Jay Chou has been cast as Kato (previously played by Bruce Lee on the series) on the new movie adaptation of the Green Hornet written and played by none other than Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express, Funny People) – really? LOL

    I said it! Asian invasion!!! xD

    VMA Nominees Announced!
    Normally, I would’ve done a different post for this, but I’ve lost my interest on MTV.
    Can’t blame me, can you?

    Womanizer… video of the year? – oh the sadness. Alongside Spears~~~ Eminem with We Made You, Beyonce with Single Ladies, Kanye and Lady Gaga. – REALLY??? I should really make a Look Back on 2008 Videos, I mean… there should be better, MUCH BETTER music videos than those.

    Lady Gaga for the win, even though I didn’t really dig any of it. <- that’s a prediction.

  • Hibi no Neiro – SOUR’s Fans via webcam~

    I just ran into this video.

    O.O – it’s so great! So interesting, I want to see what each person does haha.
    And there’s an “Amy” in it!! xD ~~~It’s sort of an “interactive” video, I think. At least it got the fans of the band involved in more than “we need fans to show up in a concert-type-setting for the music video.” This seems like it was a lot of fun.

    And the music is pretty good as well, so I’m looking for their music. =D Any recommendation?

  • Music Video Director: Nigel Dick

    I was looking back on music videos this past weekend (which, by the way marked amy-wong.com’s 4th anniversary) because I was watching Michael Jackson music videos and thinking “wow, how come I don’t like watching music videos now” – at least I don’t watch videos of most music I listen to in English, though I’m generally impressed with Asian Pop Music Videos.

    When I was little, well… a pre-teen and teenage girl fuzzing about the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears with my friends at school, I began to notice director’s names. MTV (which I pretty much used to watch almost 24/7) used to show the Name of the Song + Name of the Artist + Name of Album + Name of Director. They did this until the beginning of 2002 or 2003 when the Director’s name suddenly disappeared from the credits. I dunno if it’s back, and I dunno if it was because I just went to Canada. LOL

    One of the first names I noticed was, of course, Nigel Dick.

    If I could describe Nigel Dick’s style of music-video-making when I was a kid, I would say “simply brilliant” – not because I was naive and didn’t really know much about the business, but because his videos were simple, but yet so full of life. Perhaps, the easiest way to show it is with a simple video such as Oasis’ Wonderwall.

  • Michael Jackson R.I.P

    This not just in… but I’ve been watching the TV since it was announced.

    Surprising news… Michael Jackson died. O_o

    NOOOOOOO! Before I get to see him in concert. Damn!

    Read all about it here.

    MJ changed the music industry, and was an idol that went across the generational barrier inspiring tons of people of many different ages… including my uncle and aunt, my older cousins, me and my younger counsin. His video for Remember the Time was the first video I remember ever making an impact as a kid, and will always regard him as a musical visionary.

    Well it’s been a few hours already. I can’t still believe it – this has actually been a day of a lot of deaths (3 more) announcements aroudn here – *sighs* And it seems this has shocked a whole lot of people. My dad was following this story with me… and even my mom, who doesn’t generally give a crap about entertainment news.

    I also found the following entries~~~

  • Rebirth with Cheer Chen, by Keng-Ming Liu

    I just officially joined Vimeo – not entirely sure why, but we’ll see…
    In the meantime, this rocking video and song!

  • Interactive Music Video – Labuat – Soy tu Aire

    I would have… I totally would have listed Labuat’s Soy tu Aire video into my “breakthrough” videos of the year, but a quick Google search for “labuat soy tu aire” gave me a YouTube result with the “official” video that I can’t see because it’s NOT on my region. The fact that it’s not an official video… and that I can’t see the official video… *sighs*

    Labuat - Soy tu Aire

    Anyway, follow the link to the Soy tu Aire website.
