I Shot HK thoughts:Both of Simon Yin's videos were great, the Josie one was cool with the Hard Candy reference, but it's the Wanchai or Lankwai one that had the entire theater clapping.

Here is a snippet from our Interns jam session. Unfortunately, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter/frontman/boss TC was unable to make the jammmmmm. The three of us tried our best with a bass, a synth and drums.
The sound quality is bad because it was recorded with my iphone, the bass and the synth playing were actually pretty good, especially for two dudes with no plan just jamming. The drumming needs work though (Notice it's the same drum roll to start every song. I'm like Randy the Ram--a ...Read more
I'm getting more feedback than usual on this latest one: half on the note and half on the cover.
First, on the cover: I agree with you all. I'm ashamed of it myself.
Just know that next one will be better. Out with the goon and in with a legit artist. Whether or not I'll be tehre is another story.
On the note: I hear "good note" from y'all but I know it's a front. You guys are really thinking "you fucking emo girly-man". And again, I agree with you a...Read more
The third act felt a bit out of place (the filmmakers even admitted the movie started with the simple image of an old man lifting his house. Then they had to figure out a purpose for him to do so), but the first 30 minutes of Up is one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed this year.
Life, Love, and Loss--Carl Fredericksen takes on all three. He’s more of a hero than Optimus Prime, John Connor, or Captain Kirk combined.
Not gonna lie, teared up in the first 15 minutes. But hey, no shame in this… although I am eating st...Read more
If there's one thing I can be sure I'll never do, it's smoke (well that and giving up beef)
My anti-smoking stance has nothing to do with morals or some warped sense of self-righteousness, it's actually quite silly. You see, I've been obsessed with basketball for the past 16 years. In my teens that's all I ever cared about. Like, literally. I spent my first paycheck buying Read more

I have a feeling that the next issue of beats will look much better than the previous three issues.
1k, to quote Don Cheadle in Oceans 11 (shitty British accent and all)
"it'll be nice to work with proper criminals again"
--when someone leave you a facebook wall post asking how you are or whatever, you reply on their wall, not on your own wall.
--you can become a fan of a specific thing, such as Charles Barkley, or AC/DC, or The Wire. But not random general stuff like "Fries" or "Shoes".
--if you do one of them surveys (you know, the ones that were cool on AOL in 1999), don't tag people. if people wanna read they go onto your page and read. And if you do the quiz, don't say "I normally don't do this but...&q...Read more
I can’t say I’m a huge fan. But still, no one can deny the greatness of Thriller. And looking at him from a musician standpoint, you can't not respect him.

Is it just me or has the news in HK been getting more disgusting, as in “what the hell is wrong with the world?” lately?
I used to get that feeling watching news in LA everynight, then I moved to HK and it was a relief to watch the news and see huge deals made out of minor-ass crimes. “Ha HK cops must have it easy” I always joked. Tom and I always talk about how it’s so refreshing to know we can walk around in the middle of the night, alone, with headphones on blaring (we do that often cause he’s a hippie and I’m an emo) and knowi...Read more
