Even I am frightened by the internet sometimes

Here are some videos I have come across the last few days. Some of them....cannot be unseen.








Enjoy!

Avatar - Teaser

The first trailer for the new James Cameron film, Avatar, came out today. I've been looking forward to this film but have mixed feelings about the trailer after my first viewing. It looks like it still has the potential to have a sweet Sci-Fi/Fantasy story, but some of it looked a little hokey. Time will tell all and for now I am still looking forward to the film's release this December.






Plot:

In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

East Asia Pictures

I have finally had some time to upload a few of my trip pictures to my Flickr account. I didn't put up all 1500 (you're welcome) but I do have several pictures from the various places I went. Below is a mosaic I made with a free website so you could get a little preview. The pictures included in the mosaic are low res and cropped a little, but I think you will get the gist. Follow the link to my Flickr collection and feel free to leave comments here or on the pictures.

This is...odd.

Asian Music Recap

Hello, loyal readers! I'm sure the two of you really missed me while I was in East Asia. I fully expect to write several blog posts on various topics relating to my trip so go ahead and brace yourselves. Perhaps later I will make a nice, long post about all the Asian bands I already listen to, but not today. Today I wanted to share some Asian music that I either found shortly before going or while on the trip. The music television over there often played - wait for it - music videos all day so a lot of these songs are pretty stuck in my head right now. I hope you find at least one artists you like, but if not it is OK to laugh at the videos. These are in no particular order.

Amber Kuo
Between the round the clock showing of this video, the 'making the video' and the commercial for the CD the chorus to this song is so stuck in my head I may never get it out. Taiwanese.



Outsider
This Korean rapper holds the unofficial world record for fastest rapping: 17 syllables in 1 second. The offical record is only for English, though. Still, he is a very fast rapper.



Car-Sick Cars
Do you like Sonic Youth? If so, you'll enjoy China's Car-Sick Cars.



Super Junior
As much as I know I should really dislike this song I just can't help playing it really loud in my truck. I feel such shame right now. plus, they have like, 80 members or something. Crazy! Korean.



BoA
I have been a BoA fan for a loooong time but it wasn't until i was in Asia that I found out she just released her first English cd in America. Here is the first video off that cd. It is very weir to me because I'm used to hearing her in Korean.



Mouse on the Keys
I really like bands that bascially just make noise. This video is pretty sweet, too. Japanese.



Monkey Majik
Featuring two Canadians, this Japanese band is interesting with the way they switch between English and Japanese.



P.K.14
This Chinese indie-rock band is starting to get some international buzz, from what I understand. Good stuff.



Ayumi Hamasaki
Last but not least - J-Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki. I have been a fan for forever, it seems. I own over 30 of her albums, several concert DVDs, and even a poster or two. Anyway, she has a new CD and the first video from it was airing in Asia while I was there. While not as great a video as some of her older stuff I still enjoyed it.




There are some other bands I could list but I really didn't want to overload you. Please feel free to comment about the videos you liked.
