Dat Phan And Bringing Home The White Girl

Update: For some reason this wasn't playing in IE. Seems to be working fine now.

I got passed this via e-mail and thought I would post it on up. I actually haven't had a chance to take a full look through it yet, but I'm sure it's funny (and if it isn't, well - I've already put up my disclaimer).

MV: BoA - Eat You Up (Korean Version)

Some Monday morning tunage for you courtesy of BoA and her English language debut from the just released Korean version of the video (here's a link to the teaser for the U.S. version - which actually doesn't look as good and I'm hoping they just stick with the Korean video version).

Good beats, slick hooks, dance certifiable - we'll just have to wait and see if the rest of the U.S. will catch on when the American version comes out later this month - or if they'll shy away from an Asian singer much like they did Utada's Exodus (which everyone except the U.S. seemed to catch on too - but we can also chalk some of that up to bad marketing so let's hope BoA's people learned a thing or two).

Video Views And Linkage

Here are some videos that happened to catch my eye over the past few days:

Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA)
Happy APA Heritage Month



Jamie Nared 12 year-old Hoops Phenom Banned Because She's Too Damn Good

I caught this over the weekend and all I can say is - you've got be kidding me. Priceless moment was seeing Jamie's mouth drop to the floor on the Good Morning America interview.

ImaginAsian TV - Your Voice, Your Choice PSA's

Some new PSAs on YouTube from ImaginAsian TV for their "Your Voice, Your Choice" campaign with James Kyson Lee, Lynn Chen and others.

Mock Olympics Tibetan Style

I caught this video of Tibetan exiles who held their own Olympics to mock the real ones in Beijing and keep on pushing for an independent Tibet.

Kobe's Response On The Snake Jump

Definitely not as good as the Aston Martin (and I'm sure you've seen the new one already), but I thought the response was even better than the jump.

Clazziquai Project: Robotica

This is video is a couple of weeks old - but you can check out Clazziquai's video for the track Robotica down at their MySpace TV video channel from their latest album of the same name (released last month) which is described as the following:

In order to set itself apart from many other ubiquitous remix albums, Clazziquai's Robotica recruits a spool of renowned Japanese artists to beef up its sound quality. The album contains a long list of remix cuts by Fantastic Plastic Machine (a.k.a. F.P.M), Mondo Grosso, and DAISHI DANCE in Our Lives (Track 9), Prayers (Track 8), and Fiesta (Track 10), respectively. Robotica offers a whole new experience, clearly distinguishable from the original songs. In addition, Korean fans will be delighted with the inclusion of Love mode (Track 7, 13) featuring artists like PE'Z and m-flo's VERBAL. The two versions of the song were previously released only through the group's Japanese albums.

Korean musicians, like DJKayip from electronica project band Motet and band W's DJ/keyboard player Han Jae Won, also lent their talents in Next Love (Track 12) And Lover boy (Track 11) respectively. Last but not least, Lee Seung Yeol of the legendary modern rock band U&Me Blue and whale of W pitch in their vocals. Offering a total of six new tracks that reflect Clazziquai's unique electronica music style, Robotica professes to be not just another remix album, but a whole new package of regenerated sounds.
