In February of 2007, the NBA held their all star weekend extravaganza in Las Vegas for the first time ever. It was a much-anticipated event that had been garnering hype since early 2006. I had just moved to Hong Kong at the start of 2007 and gave myself a 50 day deadline to land a job--if I failed to land a job by the end of the 50 days, I was going to move back to California--why 50 days and not say, two months? Because I timed the deadline so I'd still have time to make the all star game if I moved back to the US. But...BC magazine hi...Read more

death of autotune

I've been working at SCMP lately. It happened randomly out of the blue, the editor asked me to fill in for a vacationing editor, and that somehow turned into a longer gig.

Because the SCMP happened so suddenly, I have to balance the full time gig with freelance work that I've picked up before hand. It's good I've got work now but then it's so mentally and physically draining. The amount of work and the schedule...everyday I leave house at 9am and get home no earlier than 11pm, it's been like this for 11 stra...Read more

"I am the Mike Jordan of recordin' you might wanna fall back off record-ing"

I am blogging about you know who's speech once more.

Former LA times writer, former coworker of my boy Marvin "REAL LAKER FAN" Lee, and current ESPN sports writer JA Adande has his take on Jordan's speech.

He basically wrote what I already wrote--that the venom and the vengeance is what made MJ MJ and we...Read more

you know your fat friend? well her nickname is minivan

Alright, I've been calling 'Ye an idiot for a long time. Shortly after his "Bush don't respect Black people" speech. I blogged about how stupid he was after he called out Radiohead.

But this time? I like it.

Doesn't make sense, right?

I hate it when people are minor assholes, and 'Ye was a minor asshole. But when you tur...Read more

This is an excerpt from Knickerblogger.net

"Two things happen this week that seem momentous but really aren't. Except that they kind of are. Yesterday, a remastered edition ofThe Beatles' entire catalogue was released, much to the delight of millions of people who already own copies of all of their records.

"wearing the four-five, it aint to play games at you"

NBA Hall of Fame thoughts--

Wow, didn't expect Jordan to give such a raw speech. Most people's knock on him have always been his unwillingness to speak up/be outspoken because of his business ties. It's something that's ultimately "smart" in the real world of business but I hate it.

But anyway, after years of being not-too-opinionated (and not because he isn't, but because of all his corporate/business ties), Jordan finally let loose. What a speech....Read more
