Take a moment and shut down your screen its WIKI BLACK OUT DAY!
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:
2NE1 wins USA SPIN MAGAZINE BEST POP ALBUM OF THE YEAR@#6
It’s been a whirlwind year winning MTV IGGY BEST BAND in the WORLD and Bigbang best WORLD ACT at the MTV Ema’s. MTV surely loves YG FAMILY or more like the world really loves YG ‘s musical talent and their new age Asian pop sounds from Seoul! Produced by Teddy PARK the 2nd mini album was not even a traditional 10 track full album. IN just 6 tracks thats all you need to prove the world its not about B-SIDES or 16 track full length journey into pop. ONE jetpack full of explosive electronic beats and soul popping hooks is all you need for a good solid album to win new and old music fans alike.
IAM THE BEST -
UGLY-
LONELY-
HATE YOU- DON’T CRY-
DON’T STOP THE MUSIC-
Style also helps popularity with some angel wings Adidas kicks with touchs of Jeremy Scott avant gardeness to get you into the cool books. This coming year will probably be bigger with 2012 to be year of the 2ne1. JAPAN New album USA Wil.I.AM produced English debut. The KPOP Hallyu wave just started for the BLACKJACKERS and 2ne1 girls!
6. 2NE12nd Mini Album
EXCERPT FROM SPIN MAG USA “The TLC of K-Pop dropped this stopgap, six-song EP compilation in July, and for pure (purely impure?) sonics, it might be the year’s most boldly thrilling recorded statement. A collision of electro-house, hip-hop, and pop-rock guitar, with yet another undeniable hook cropping up every 15 seconds, it is the primary work of producers Teddy Park (formerly of Korean-American rap group 1TYM) and Kush. But this all-female foursome clearly own their persona more than most K-Poppers, particularly on the spicy, playalistic “I Am the Best” and the body-image throwdown, “Ugly.” There’s even a solo turn by the group’s vocal powerhouse Park Bom, who considers the cosmos over a springy sprint to a piano-plinking chorus. C.A. “
To give you an idea who were the other contenders.
2ne1 is setting new standards for new POP music and Asian Pop music in general dominating most WORLD awards before their pre-English world of POP.
OTHER NOTABLE mentions on the list in 2011 were Rihanna making a comeback album with #10 with Talk that Talk plus that controversial We Found Love ft: Calvin Harris video. Kelly Clarkson with a less than Stronger comeback album at #9. Coldplay came in #8 with the hyperneon color theme rocking album in Mylo Xyloto. #7. Florence + the Machine with its haunting and symbolic Ceremonials. #5. Adele with you name it incredible emotion and vocals in 21 #4. Katy B On a Mission #3. Britney Spears with major comeback Til of the World themes in Femme Fatale 2. Beyonce with simply going to a retro theme of the countdown days 4 1. Lady Gaga born to number 1 despite taking a step back from her modern electronic pop dance hits like previous with more experimental retro dance in Born This Way.
It was shocking good night for the Christmas EVE eve Ktown party! Music went off the roof, crossover KPOP dance covers one after another. Without any further more rant I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas HOLIDAY! Enjoy!
Hopefully I’ll re-energise for 2012 a new year a fresh new start for more blog worthy news and events everything KPOP and AussieAsian!

IN THE MIDST OF LOVE by Willinova Inspired by WKW

Starring: Su Hu, Tom Liu Cheng, Alfred Au
This was filmed in Sydney at The Meeting Point Resturant and at the Rocks. Hair by: Mars Studio

No Copyright is intended for using the music from In the Mood for Love as it short film was inspired by that movie.
Synopsis: To be in a loving relationship is one of the greatest feelings. You have someone you can rely on, someone to call your own, someone to love you for who you are. Life becomes familiar and stable. But suddenly, a chance encounter with someone new sparks a curiosity which leaves you wanting more. At first you test the waters with some harmless flirting, but soon after fresh romance, new experiences and dangerous desires take hold as you savor the excitement of a new lover. Meanwhile, your heart gently reminds you of a love that you once knew is still waiting for you.
Whether its thrust upon you by your significant other, or whether its your conscience telling you that what you’re doing is not right. At some point, you will need to choose. You may decide that the risk of tearing yourself from old and building foundations anew may be too much for what its worth. Or, you may decide that life is too short to stay within the confines of safety and take the leap. In the end, we must realise that only we are responsible for our own happiness.
Another tease of the official video with behind the scenes of the making? What YGEX haven’t released the final video yet? The Japanese Korean collaboration record joint venture AVEX and YG certainly have a very different strategy in debuting GD&TOP feat: PARK BOM(2ne1) 1st Nihon-jin single.
Still editing? The music video looks much better now with the extra making scenes but seriously another party pimping video of how great and awesome Gdragon and T.O.P are again so great in hooking up with hot chicks. This aint KPOP this is Americano Crappola. Oh well. At some point a KPOP artist has to sell out to the typical music video genre made famous by Snoop Dog and PIMP daddy! But at least its hot and desaturated beige tones lift up a class a bit on the colour scale. Yes please color correct!
OH YEAH on the other hand shows off PARK BOM’s strong vocals once more. More BOM please OH YEAH !!! Please repeat OH YEAH X 100!~! Oh YEAH IM FEELING IT!
This guy. Seriously is Asian and he knows it. Peter Chao with another viral bubble tea video.
< Peter Chao: Asian and I Know it [Official Music Video] - Directed by IFHT> One part of me want to punch this guy in the face and another wanna shake his hand and congratulations him you are another AMAZIAN!
I was trying to listen to his rap lyrics to find something socially relevant and deep and meaningful. But all i could find was some random Asian douche bag rapping with a faux paux accent ranting about bubble tea and hongkie LEE kum kee references. There is so much pop culture sensory overload only an average Asian would understand. Its just so bad taste just like fake Louis Vutton on the streets of MongKok. But if you are Asian and you know it the cliches and imagery in this music video is so true and its kind of embarassing some Asians actually do act like this in reality. Another EPIC Laughing my Asian Arse off video from Perter Chao. Dam this guy is a genius. Only in Canada!
Joseph Vincent+MC JIN epic collaboration of “When The Lights Come On” .
This fresh new music video depicts a different side of Sydney night life and a landscape alternate to the one depicted by Australian mass media. Essentially it took a bunch of Asian Amercians to show wOw Sydney actually has a huge Asian music/clubbing scene. Most of the video shots in the club was filmed at Civic Hotel Sydney recently when MC JIN (Asian American rapper now host of TVB JSG) and Joseph Vincent (Asian American YouTube musician) came down under for a VOLAR<urbanagent> show.
Its refreshing to see how this video was actually a positive reflection of clubbing. The narrative shows how MC JIN and JOSEPH VINCENT sky rocket out of the cloudy atmosphere landing on the famous Milson Point shores. They both follow a young man like true urbanagents. The sobering asian dude looks so aimless how his all pimp and all intoxicated in the world of the club scene but realises when the light comes on which is the natural daylight things start to feel crappy.
The rap explains how there is another reality besides partying and the aftermath. Unlike most music videos out there depicting the all fun and games of partying. The morphed nameless faces of the hot girls explains a much deeper and richer meaning behind this JV JIN collaboration. its not another mindless music video with hot chicks dancing to pimped dudes. Its a message for young fellows to reflect to do something about their lives and ‘chase their dreams’…..
“If you only have one chance To say what you gotta say When the lights come on If you wanna die tomorrow Oh, what would you do today
I live my life I chase my dreams Oh, there’s nothing you can say to me”

BEYONCE’ ” I MISS YOU”(Frank Ocean’s version) covered by a mysterious new youtuber by the name of THETEYDADDY. Apparently that crazy magical vocals is from the mouth of BIGBANG’s TaeYang. What a TROLOLOLOL!!!
The cover is purely amazing. But funny how TaeYang chose to label himself a musician from United States on his own personal account. Not proud of being SK eh?
HyunA’s Bubble Pop Beat Britney and LMFAO for BEST song of the year. #9 in US SPIN MUSIC MAGAZINE for song of 2011!
the #1 spot went to ADELE’s, “Rolling in the Deep”
and #2. Beyonce “Countdown”
To all the haters. HyunA is here to stay and she didn’t even make an official American debut to get onto one of the most prestigious music list in press media after Billboard Mag and Rollingstone magazine.
SPIN “The magazine is eclectic and bold, if sometimes haphazard. It pointedly provides a national alternative to the Rolling Stone’s more establishment-oriented style.”
HyunA must be doing something right. Not even BoA or 2ne1,BIGBANG has gotten a SPIN magazine splash and with such a high position in POP music hall of fame for 2011 inside the TOP 10. LMFAO and BRITNEY are probably wondering who the hell is this KPOP babe BUBBLE POPPING the BEST OF BEST 2011 charts out of nowhere and ZERO promotions.HELLO KPOP!
LAMB LOVE ANGEL MUSIC BABY IS now a HARUJUKU MINI BURGER COLLECTION FOR KIDS@ TARGET collection 2011.
I really like this pixel VS reality TV commercial. The way the style is implemented seems so simple and game like. Makes me want a GIANT hamburger in pixel format landing onto my street any day. The digital sounds are so super nintendo 90’s retro.
BTW Since when did Target and Gwen Stefani become cute angel fashion ambassadors for kids? Looks like Target kids these days are so spoilt. Imagine all those Hipster mums ex-No Doubt fan girls dressing their kids as mini harujuku hamburgers.
Not sure how making the official LOGO look like a rip-off BurgerKing become all Japanesey? So should these hipster mums feed their kids Hamburgers to fit into those American size clothing? Shouldn’t it be a SUSHI at least to make it more appropiate to fit the idealistic cute concept of Harujuku? Kawaii burger?! WTF
I guess the Americano pixel Burger is smashing into Harujuku was Target’s way of saying the new Harujuku and the Burger has landed. The burger logo does remind me of those fruity gummy candy that look like a mini burger they sell at those novelty candy Target outlets.
PS: i just wish Gwen release a new concept album ala L.A.MB. but since K-POP is so trendy now . Stefani should go all Korean for her next release. I can so imagine Gwen doing an all in one girl 2ne1 digitronic style.

Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
