i'm so much closer than i have ever known

Ron Artest and Jason Kidd will be in Hong Kong tomorrow. Kobe this Friday. I wonder if Ron Ron and Kobe will do some Laker bonding over the weekend?

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAA6V3qxQG0 This is Waiting, arguably my favorite Green Day song. It's not as well known as the other hits because this is off Warning, the 2000 album that flopped critically and commercially and nearly ended the band. I've always loved the...Read more

allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is HOV

Second episode of Entourage. This show is getting sooo good it is dangerously close to knocking off Fresh Prince/Married With Children as my all time favorite show. And that's tough cause Al Bundy is the ultimate American male and Fresh Prince is Fresh Prince. But I shouldn't compare sitcoms to Entourage cause they're two different beasts.

you can plan a pretty picnic but can't predict the weather

This is such a beautiful cover. Look closely, you'll spot not only HK locales but various inside jokes.

-Facebook is streaming the new Dead Weather (aka Jack White's new band) album in its entirety. The thing rocks. But then again would you expect anything less from Jack White?

i took her out, it was a friday night, i wore cologne, to get the feeling right

I interviewed Jaycee Chan today.

He liked me.

Now before you think I'm conceited, come on let me explain:

He did a series of interviews today and I was his last, when he was about to talk to me, he was on the phone with his friends and I could tell he couldn't wait to get the hell outta there. So I told him "don't worry yo I'll make this quick".

I didn't ask him any questions about his dad, in fact, aside from mention...Read more

Away We Go to 500 Days of Summer

First of all, I want to give props to Tim Prichard from HK mag for completely thrashing and trashing Transformers 2 in his HK review. He even got to use the F-word! To be able to drop F-bombs in print....ah one can only dream eh? Beats doesn't let me do it and it's haunted me for the past two years.

Seriously though, it's good he calls it like he sees it because Transformers is a horrible film in every way possible.

Last summer, I wrote a completely scathing review of Mummy 3, one that actually go...Read more

I just met Emmy Lee Moss before her gig at Grappas.

In West New Territories, born and raised, in Tower Records was where she spent most of her days. Chilling out maxing relaxing all cool and all listening to some Weezer outside the school, when a couple of locals who were up to no good, started making trouble over her western woman-hood, she started listening to Aaron Kwok and her mom got sc...Read more

DOPE NOSE

Maybe it's because I was subconsciously trying to console myself for not being able to see Weezer in Japan this summer, cause for some reason I haven't written about Weezer at all lately. They shaped my early 20s the way Green Day shaped my teens and the Strokes shaped my mid 20s. You know that pic of me with the glasses and the blond spiky hair on top of my blog? That was a wanna be Rivers Cuomo look. (Okay so he never had blond hair but still...)

The blue album is one of the greatest album of the 90s, the green album was the sound...Read more
