Being in China for a whole year, I don’t recall seeing a single person wearing any spikes on their clothing. To see Jolin’s wardrobe in this music video reminded me of an old Rihanna video… hmmm, So Hard it was! Maybe Jolin’s isn’t as dramatic looking (which is the appeal in all of the singers’ wardrobes nowadays), but I do see a western influence for sure. And why do I pay so much attention to Rihanna? Don’t ask…

Looks like Justin Timberlake is the new creative strategist for Myspace. This could probably be the only good thing for Myspace, as they have been on a downward spiral for quite some time now. In fact, the last article I read a few months back, was that Myspace had lost a MILLION users in ONE MONTH! It’s no wonder News Corp. seemed desperate to sell off Myspace for $35 million when it had purchased it for $580 million back in 2005.

Anyway, since Myspace bought my beloved Imeem, I really hope they can become what Imeem once was (a paradise for music lovers). Justin Timberlake better have some good ideas circulating!

Here’s another hilarious hit from the same guys, which is one of my favorite youtube finds of all time – “Did I Mention I Like to Dance” by Flynt Flossy! His dancing is not only hilarious, but he’s actually pretty good! Kinda reminds me of myself, without the Eddy Murphy look of course lol.

Decided it was a feel good song, and wanted to share it. This is Brian Lee with “Love to Me”.

Wow… I never imagined an Asian group to hit America’s mainstream scene as much as the Far East Movement. I remember listening to their mixes like 7-8 years ago from an underground Asian-American hip hop site. I followed them for awhile on myspace (when that was huge, remember?) when they finally created a profile. So in 2006-2007 when I was doing a bit of club promoting in Shanghai, I recalled this group and thought I’d throw them an opportunity to perform internationally. So I coordinated a bit with their manager at the time, and the music director at Club Guandii (one of the few hip hop clubs in Shanghai) and I tried to book them a show. Guandii was all up for it, but other clubs I was trying to get them in at didn’t know who these cats were. I couldn’t fork up the costs for them to fly over just to perform at one club, so the deal didn’t go through unfortunately. I did regret not having the capability to bring them out, but luckily was still able to collaborate with them a bit by having one of their songs featured on a reality tv show I was working with at the time (shout out to House Films). That was fun… but it would have been more fun to meet these guys since I’ve known about them for so long. I’m just glad to see them where they are now, and I’m sure the clubs back in Shanghai now know who the Far East Movement is. Keep up the good work FM!

New song by FM with Natalie Kills + Ya Boy:
