I woke up singing this. Must have been playing in my dreams. Off He Goes – Pearl Jam.
This is My Jam Today. Pearl Jam.
Levy Tran Needs to Apologize to Nobody
I usually don’t like to publicly weigh in on internet drama and politics, but today I will for three reasons. First, I consider myself a moderately successful, educated part of the Vietnamese American subculture who has the potential to affect it and define it in the future. Second, I don’t want to live in an environment where we can’t make jokes about ourselves – even if bad ones – and openly mock the stereotypes that define us for a lot of people. And third, I think model, actress, and fellow Viet-American Levy Tran doesn’t owe anybody an apology for her part in a recent music video called “Asian Girlz.”
Our Love Is Dead
Pet Shop Boys “Leaving”
Ugh I just love these lyrics so hard:
Our love is dead
But the dead are here to stay
They made us what we are
They’re with us every day
In darkest night
Their memory keeps us strong
And if our love is dead
It won’t be dead for long
I know when enough’s enough and you’re leaving
you’ve had a lot of time to decide on your freedom
but I can still find some hope to believe in
love
Pet Shop Boys, still dazzling after 30+ years. Can’t wait for the new record Electric next month! This and new Nine Inch Nails is gonna give me the shitty giggles!

PBS Beatmaking Lab Is Cool As Hell!
PBS Digital Studios is doing this thing called Beat Making Lab where they bring a backpack with some simple mobile sound studio equipment around the world. The results are absolutely amazing! It’s so cool to see people in Goma, Congo doing their thing.
Check out the videos on Beat Making Lab’s Youtube page.
Thanks PBS (and everyone who gives money to PBS) for putting this on. I love music!
Kid History: Effing brilliant!
Aside from being absolutely hilarious, this video is completely genius in its concept, casting, and execution. We’ve been watching this at the office for a couple weeks now. Haha, so many good lines. Thanks to Melissa for sending this over.
