Thank you, Mr. Raymond J. Lee

For getting the freakin’ Lil’ Mermaid song stuck in my head. I’ve been humming it ALL DAY LONG. While driving, while shopping, while cleaning and washing dishes… even right now. I feel like I’m living in a Disney musical. But you know what? It’s not a bad feeling… haha. And I gotta give it to ya, Raymond… you’ve got SKILLS. I hope the producers of GLEE see this!

Happy Birthday, Gilbert Arenas!

So I don’t really know what’s going on with Gilbert Arenas, cuz’ I don’t follow sports news… but through the grapevine I heard something about guns and all of a sudden I’m seeing people tweet about him today.

Anyway, it’s Gilbert’s birthday and so here’s a music vid to celebrate! This is Episode 6 of “The Agent Zero Show” (brought to you by Arowana Films. Gotta give it up to Evan Jackson Leong for handlin’ these vids!).

See the rest of the vids on The Agent Zero Show’s YouTube Channel.

P.S. – I just Googled it… and I now know that Arenas has been suspended for bringing guns into the locker room. Yikes. I wonder if “Agent Zero” will have something to say about that.

JMD… Hawaiian Reggae & Blues

For someone who used to be the know-it-all of Asian Americans in music… well, I’m def not on top of it anymore. -_-

So I was sent a Facebook evite from ukulele rock star Jason Arimoto and I decided to take a look (often times I skip over evites). Well, I got confused, cuz’ I thought it’d be an evite for a show of Jason’s, but I didn’t see his name anywhere on the evite and I had no clue what “JMD” was ’til I Googled. Turns out JMD is Jason’s band. According to their Myspace, their genre of music is Reggae / Blues / Hawaiian or “ukulele, drums & bass together live & in your face.” So I took a listen and liked what I heard. Sounds fun! I think I might check out their show tomorrow: **SHOW THIS THURSDAY**JMD, NATURAL NATIVES & GUESTS

Baby Baby

Was chillin’ at Nandarang in K-town when from the corner of my eye I thought I saw an ol’ friend, Chan, appear in a music vid that was playing on one of the monitors…

When I got home just a few minutes ago, I looked it up, and YUP, it was him!

Chan aka Snacky Chan aka Roy Kim doing his thang in Korea:

Good, stuff, Chan. Hope all is well over there! We miss ya over here though!
