jane likes...'maestro knows'

not really sure who this levi maestro guy is but he's kind of cute (which says a lot cause i'm not particularly attracted to guys of the light melanin) & well, it was posted on mr. kim's blog.

so after some more researching it looks like he's a LA-based filmmaker/photographer who's worked for some pretty high-profile clients (Nike, Belvedere Vodka, Moet&Chandon, Hennessy, New Era Cap). he's now filmin his life and sharing it with the rest of the world.

liked his first episode (answers the question, can air yeezy's get him to dunk?) and here's his trailer for this film series:

here's another one by the one and only Ryan Leslie. so apparently, jim jones bumped into ryan @ chung king studios and of course ryan started working his magic and created this track called 'precious.' check out his blog for more. check out damon dash in the clip...where has he been?

anywho, if you haven't already...do urself a favor and get ryan's self-titled album in stores now. :)

jane (kind of) likes...se7en's new music video

okay...so a couple things.

1) why do you make ur 'crossover' song with the word, 'girls girls girls girls' when you clearly know that the 'r' sound is the hardest one to pronounce when you're a F.O.B. (aka fresh off the boat...yes, it's a term that us korean americans use to describe koreans born and/or raised for most of their life in korea)

2) lil kim looks like a cat. seriously.

3) um, awwwwwkkkkkward chemistry btwn lil kim and se7en. esp at 3:23.

4) 'hollatchaboy' should not sound like 'hol-latch-urr-boy'

5) um, what did he just sing??? haha

so maybe i don't really like this music video. but hey, at least se7en is good lookin and despite what this music video shows, i know he can really dance. :)

jane likes...ciara x justin timberlake in 'love, sex and magic'

initially i wasn't really feeling the track 'love, sex and magic' when it was leaked a couple months ago with only justin's vocals on it. but this music video takes it to a WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL.



DAMN. Ciara looks GOOOOOOOOD. Love all the Melody Ehsani jewelry in the music video!! :)

jane likes...ehem LOVES DONNIS!!

"hello, i'm donnis!" :)

so the other day i posted the 'better version' of a song that is out on the blogs. now i'm here to tell you a lil more about a d-o-p-e artist about to POP off.


he goes by the name of donnis and he is from Atlanta. yes a country boy with city swag. he has an interesting background...stint in the air force, stationed in tokyo, started off his 'rap' career while in the military almost getting kicked out cause of it, etc. but more importantly, his talent/music speaks for itself.

donnis's music is definitely hip hop, but is infused with elements of pop, electro, rock, etc...making it at times, hard to categorize. it's been a long time coming (hard work pays off!!) but take for instance his single that's bout to drop on the radio (in a city near you!) very very soon! how would you categorize this?

take a listen to party works.

likey? check out his myspace for some more music. don't tell me i didn't warn you about donnis. yes, he's THAT guy. :) expect mixtapes and a buzz around him to come soooon.

jane likes...imeem featuring boa!

wow. so the first single featured on imeem's homepage is a k-pop artist, boa. Think britney spears of asia, minus the crazy-cutting-off-all-her-hair-baby-drama stuff.

okay, so don't get me wrong. i'm glad that k-pop artists are crossing over and getting attention in the US (i.e. rain aka bi). BUT i just wish korean-american artists could really be featured and highlighted here too (like, heather park). it's kind of backwards donchathink?

it's more of an upward hill battle for korean-americans (born and bred in the US, know the 'lingo,' no accent, talented as hell) than having pop artists from korea cross-over to the US market. ARG. are ppl in america just not that accepting of asian-american artists being at the forefront? is it really that big of a deal for people to accept that asian-americans don't have accents and can compete on the same level as other mainstream pop artists?

on the other hand, i guess we [asian-americans] need to prove our $$$$$ buying power.

okay, enuf with the rant. must...get...back...to...work. :(

Yes, I'm gettin money back but this is the first year i decided to use h&r block to do my taxes. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. not only did my rep not know how to speak english well, he was 70 years old and didn't know how to use computers!!! i know i'm being age-ist but c'mon, just b/c you close a browser window doesn't mean ur password (that didn't work the past 100000 times) is going to suddenly work in a new browser window. UGH. turbotax it is again for me next year!
