Champagne experience the City

Champagne are experiencing the city in their new PV, and it is full of escalators. Lots of Escalators. “City” is the new single out 7-7-2010 (preorder from yesasia.com) and contains a few tracks off their previous album that came out back in January Where’s My Potato? I wrote about that waaaay back then. “City” is [...]

King-K -Link up through the sky PV

Acoustic Reggae. Love it. King-K knocks it out of the park with a laid back bluesy-reggae single “Link up through the sky”. The simple drums, harmonica, rattles and guitar plucks slow things down and the background vocals make “Link up through the sky” sound like a spiritual journey. King-K’s new album was released today 6-30-2010. [...]

T-Pistonz+KMC -Good Kita!

I really don’t know much about T-Pistonz+KMC. I think they host a children’s show in Japan or something. They probably sing a lot of songs that are somehow attached to a soccer anime.   I could be totally wrong. Regardless, this is something my son would watch, if he knew Japanese. I gotta say these guys [...]

DELI FAIL

Look. I like the charms and T-Pain-ish vocals of my man DELI. But if you are using subtitles in your video for “Itsumademo” lay off the Crystal and Champagne and drink more coffee or tea… or you might have a subtitle fail.  SATISFY. Not STASFY. But that is the beauty of hip hop. You can [...]

Chihara Minori is at the beach singing her little heart out. These freedom dreamers are so enthusiastic! Well she just happens to be singing “Freedom Dreamer” out July 21st, 2010 (preorder from yesasia.com). And if you don’t believe me, she even holds up a sign that says Freedom Dreamer.
