  • Big Bang – Beautiful Hangover

    I still think Big Bang should stop singing in Japanese, but their funny pronunciation didn’t bother me as much this time around. The video is alright — with all those circles on the wall — and there was a bit too much autotune on Seungri, Taeyang and G-Dragon’s voices (big surprise!). It’s a pity even Daesung has to use it, when he has a perfectly fine voice. But dude, that hair split in the middles has got to go!

    TOP, baby, you’re alright. LOL I’m not even sure if you did your rap in English, Korean or Japanese. I don’t think I care, you sounded and looked good on the video. LOL

    G – I want your glass-less glasses.

  • Arcade Fire – Ready to Start

    I’m not really a huge fan of Arcade Fire, but I do like their image and visuals. I like them enough to appreciate them, and enjoy their music enough to give their albums a go.

    Ready to Start is an old school rock video shot in black and white.
    It’s got great energy, and great visual contrast.

  • Broken Bells – The Ghost Inside

    Christina Hendricks + Spaceships = Geeks dreams? xD

    There’s a YouTube version, though there’s a region restriction (SUCK IT).

  • Remembering my Celtic Woman and Meav Days

    Ahhhh, Failte!! – sorry, too lazy to type accents.

    You know, before I started posting so much about Asian stuffs~~~ I was pretty obsessed with Celtic Woman and Meav – coinciding with my 6-month mark. I left “fandom” and began my Asian ramblings. But you know, I always complain there’s so many idols in my Asian radar… not enough vocalists, or dancers. When I thought of vocalists, I often think about Celtic Woman, because… man, those women could sing.

    I don’t think many people would actually look at me and say, ahhh see… Amy is a Celtic Woman fan. I don’t look the part, and I certainly don’t follow other Celtic music groups. I was in old downtown Lima, where they sell a lot of fake goods from clothing to music and films – don’t worry, I went there for Chinese food, not buying fake goods – and in one of the music stands, they had Celtic Woman music. I told my dad, because I thought it was surprising. He told me that a local channel had been broadcasting Celtic Woman concerts, and that my dad’s friend had taken a liking for the women. In the end, I gave him a copy of Meav’s Silver Sea album. LOL

    I wouldn’t mind Meav coming for a concert xD

    Ahhh… that Dulaman performance has so much sex appeal. LOL

  • Taeyang – I’ll Be There

    I didn’t love his debut, and I don’t love this song. However, we’re here to talk about the concept of his video. Obviously, this has tints of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and BackStreet Boys’ Everybody. And I could even argue it also has some 5ive’s Don’t Wanna Let You Go. It’s the whole mansion, goth, death thing going on, with choreography… which I’m down with.

    I wish Taeyang had commited to the look. As it is now, it just looks like the girl wakes up from a wet dream, I mean… hot Taeyang is singing/whispering to her while she’s sleeping. In Thriller, MJ committed to the zombie look… in Everybody, Nick committed to the mummy look, Brian became a silly werewolf, Howie was a silly vampire, AJ was the Phantom, and Kevin was Mr. Hyde. Taeyang should’ve commited to a less-Taeyang look.

    The choreography was oka-ish. It was really well edited on the first few seconds of the dance inside the mansion, but the dance in the cemetery was kinda boring.

  • Black Swan Trailer

    I’m sorry Jakey G. and Anne H.
    but Natalie Portman in a Aronofsky film trumps all.

    The trailer… is… so… freaky. By the end, it just leaves you with a chill, and a OMG, this is creepy – need to watch this now. I want this to be good so bad, I’m afraid I will be disappointed.

    Maybe this trailer will make Natalie get the lead once again on The 20 to Watch?

  • Love and Other Drugs Trailer

    Directed by Edward Zwick — The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond — Jakey G and Anne look. so. hot. It seems like they have great chemistry, or at least it’s showcased more than their bits on Brokeback Mountain ;P

    [iframe width=”560″ height=”349″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/h6w7Dh-QxzY?rel=0″]

    Apparently the film is receiving positive buzz. I don’t think it’s Oscar bait, but maybe a nomination for Screenplay, or Globe nods for Jake and Anne.

  • Multi Touch Light Table

    A pretty cool setup for digital DJing, with a multi touch screen with a simple – but not so simple – interface for DJs. Now, I wonder how much would installing this in an actual club would cost~~~

    Someone. Sponsor. This. Now. xD

  • Cadbury – Spots v Stripes CM

    Sponsoring the 2012 London Games, Cadbury shows the classic battles of the animal kingdom… under the sea – are you supporting Spots or Stripes? Pick wisely… who will win? xD

  • M.I.A. – XXXO

    I haven’t decided if this video is trying to be tacky, or just is… but this is M.I.A. we’re talking, the same in charge of Born Free, so we should be in good hands. The irony, though, I can’t take it. It’s too much irony in the tacky graphics, the glitter, the video transitions… EVERYTHING.

    You know them, right? It plagues The People’s social media profiles. MySpace, Hi5, Tagged… every disgustingly booty-call social media website, just because The People think it looks good. And even though Facebook doesn’t allow profile customization — thank god! — it is plagued with applications with glitter and tacky graphics.

    Still don’t know what tacky is? Here, take a look at M.I.A’s video

    I’m still lukewarm about her music. I don’t get what’s so genius about her, but I guess that’s her genius.
    I’m never gonna get it
