Re: Music Chat Spam
Silversun Pickups released The Singles Collection last week. Their new track "Cannibal" is great. If you've never heard of them, also try "Panic Switch", "Substitution", and "Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)".
Re: Music Chat Spam
BoA is in a Hollywood movie, MAKE YOUR MOVE, playing a Japanese girl:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=619VGNUBFIE&feature=youtu.be
I'm not familiar with the rest of the cast. My daughter seems to think that the male lead, Derek Hough, is a big deal. Is he?
Didn't know whether to post this here or in K-Pop. Is BoA even considered a K-pop star?
(So I posted it in both.)

Re: Music Chat Spam
BoA is kpop but she's only released a pretty small amount of Korean material since 2005. But truth be told, she's not much of a jpop star these days either.
Anyway, I remember hearing about this movie YEARS ago so I'm surprised it's finally getting released. Derek Hough is big in the dancing scene, but he's got minimal acting experience. The only people who would instantly recognize him are Dancing With The Stars fans.

Re: Music Chat Spam
Wow, that movie is FINALLY coming out.
I'm 100% disappointed that another Asian person is playing someone who isn't his/her race in a Hollywood movie though. Stop doing this, Hollywood. BoA would be just fine playing a Korean girl. I kind of doubt which race matters in the storyline, so she could easily not have been mismatched. Cast your races the way you want them, or change the race to fit who you cast, but please please stop mismatching.

I am always confused why English-talking people say "race", when it's just nationality.

Re: Music Chat Spam
I don't understand why people do that either. To me race, ethnicity, and nationality are all different things. Lets use me for an example.
Race: Human
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Nationality: American of the United States
All three are different and it baffles me how it why people use them interchangeably.

Re: Music Chat Spam
Human would be species, not race. Race is generally used to refer to physical features whereas ethnicity is often related to things such as culture and ancestry. To put it simply, race is genetic whereas ethnicity is cultural. BoA's race would be asian, and her ethnicity Korean. Broadly speaking anyway. I'm sure an anthropologist or someone like that would be able to go into much further detail than I could.
It's also generally incorrect to refer to most white people as Caucasian nowadays as well. They're actually quite different.

Re: Music Chat Spam
My apologies, it all jumbles together for me, though I can distinguish the species part from the rest. Language regarding all this stuff is very confusing in English though IMO, so I always get mixed up.
It's harder for me because I have no idea what my race or ethnicity are, haha. I also personally think race is a nonsensical man made concept, which doesn't help figure out how it's supposed to work.

I have this problem with the person who plays Rick Grimes on the Walking Dead. I can't think of his name for the life of me, but he is like that. It bothers me not because it enrages me, but it bothers me in the way that it just sounds weird when you're used to him speaking in an American accent for the show and then in behind the scenes stuff and interviews he speaks in his normal voice. I think the problem everyone has with a Korean playing a Japanese is the fact that most people lump all Asians together with the stereotype that "they're all the same anyway" when in reality they are all very different.

Kind of. I notice when English are imitating American accents and vice versa usually, but it only bothers me if I notice. Rick Grimes' accent on the show is convincing to me, so he and Maggie don't bother me.
Casting BoA as Japanese bothers me because, unless it's outrageously important to the story that her character be Japanese, why not just make her Korean? BoA's Korean, and on top of that she's a famous Korean. There's enough confusion as it is with Americans calling all Asians the wrong nationality/ethnicity, so why take your hopeful crossover star and make her Japanese? BoA's English album flopped and this movie is years past due anyway, but it was filmed during her attempt to make it in America, so whyyyy cast her character as Japanese so that people just getting into her will think she's Japanese. It's a really odd choice, and feels like a case of all-Asians-look-the-same-anyway.
If she were some nobody actor, it'd be less annoying because the roles are not made to fit the actors, but it just makes no sense to attempt to make her a huge star of Asia, and cast her as another ethnicity when Anericans are already bad at associating Asians with their correct nations.
Her accent is also very very thick, and I don't know enough about Korean accents to know if anyone would point hers out as being uniquely Korean, but that's another reason making her Japanese seems like a lazy choice.

Re: Music Chat Spam
Well it IS being released in the US. Over here, BoA basically is a nobody. She's not even one of the acts that gets named when people do write about kpop.
It's also worth noting that most of BoA's musical career has largely been based in Japan. Might be one if the reasons for it.

Re: Music Chat Spam
If they can play the part, I'd rather they give the part to someone for their acting ability and not their race. But this movie is going to bomb anyway so why bother complaining about it? xD

That movie was bad for more reasons than just having Chinese people play Japanese, eventhough this is a special case, since a geisha is supposed to portray "classical Japanese beauty".
I can't speak for the book, but the whole movie was just a portrayal of how a tourist would see the geisha business. Wrong hair styles, wrong costumes, dance errors, the foot binding (which geisha never did afaik).

I ran into the issues with that book while reading Mineko Iwasaki's (aka Masako Tanaka)autobiography. She was appalled at how geisha were portrayed.

I've only seen a handful of episodes of House, and I don't know the actor outside of that show and maybe one other movie, so no. I don't care about him.
But anyway, Ap kind of hints at the problem with Asian-washing as a concept.
When a movie assumes I'm just that stupid, I always have problems with it. I like it much better when movies assume I'm intelligent rather than, in this case, I'm an idiot westerner who wouldn't know the difference anyway.

Re: Music Chat Spam
Some enterprising producer from North Carolina sent me a show called "IndieLive" that included this music video:
Palmer Miray: "Spark"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExThZ7qLePM
I didn't quite know what to make of it. It made me think of what the Disney Channel would look like if it had absolutely no money. All I could think is that H!P is full of performers even younger than this one and her back-ups and they're all so much better and more polished. But, of course, they have a full management and production team behind them, while this poor girl just seems to have her doting mother and family who've been telling her how great she is since she was three years old and there's been nobody like Simon Cowell around to tell her otherwise.
I sent the link to my nephew, who said, "It's not bad enough to go viral like Rebecca Black," whom I'd never heard of before, so I found this:
Rebecca Black: "Friday":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0
The saving grace of this one is that it plays like satire, even though I'm quite sure it isn't. It also has quite a few more ideas than the other one and enough of a budget to at least go outdoors for several shots.
Any thoughts?

I meant to respond sooner! Sorry I didn't...
My show was on April 1st so I didn't want to find out about the concert when you posted it at the time.
We had All Saints as our opening group. God, I can't believe they had hits. They're really terrible compared to BSB and have like zero stage presence. I forgot who they were when they first started and I seriously thought they looked like amateurs you could see on the street..
I had standing tickets as well as 3rd row seats. Since I'm generally too short for standing I sold the standing and stuck with the seats since they were so close anyways...
WELL WORSE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE OH GOD
The guys were all over the standing crowd doing selfies with them, touching their hands, etc. AJ even at one point went into the standing area... and was even sing there. WHAT THE F...
They honestly know how to please the crowd. That's totally why they haven't disbanded after all this time. They also got a good sense of humor.
And I'm so glad they performed We've Got It Goin' On. I think that's still my favorite song of theirs. Terribly tacky, I DON'T CARE THOUGH
It was a nice touch for them to play instruments. I like Madeline.
Also, Nick is my favorite member. I only realized he got engaged last year. SHE IS SO UGLY. Super confirmed that I'm not his taste. WHY WHYYYYYY
I'm so jelly of your goods. I was too cheap to get anything. After Nick's engagement I'm not so committed anymore.. IF SHE WAS CUTE ALL WOULD BE FORGIVEN
I had fun and loved it. So glad I went. I missed their NKOTBSB tour, but kinda glad I did with Kevin being around now and I don't care much about NKOTB.
The only thing missing was a live band. Larger than Life and Everybody is a billion times better with a live band.
AJ tried to do an April Fool's saying he was coming out with a solo album and not performing with BSB anymore to focus on being solo... Totally failed.

Re: Music Chat Spam
I've never heard of All Saints, but apparently one of the members had said that they were never going to perform again sometime before it was announced that they would be the opening act. I didn't know Nick was engaged, but I figured it was about time since AJ had a daughter like a year and a half ago. That sucks you sold your standing tickets, but it's good you still had fun! I totally agree with you on their humor and performance abilities. I most definitely will go see them again any chance I get. Oh, and We've Got It Goin' On is a fantastic song. Though it does remind me that "jam" did not last long as slang AT ALL.

The movie opened in New York yesterday. I went to see it. I'll do a writeup later in the Movies thread in the Chillout Lounge board.
For the record, BoA and Will Yun Lee (Korean-American actor) play a sister and brother who are Korean but were raised in Japan. They speak both languages and both languages are heard in the film. There are other Asian characters, all Japanese or Japanese-American as far as I can tell. I liked the movie.
BoA is in a Hollywood movie, MAKE YOUR MOVE, playing a Japanese girl:

I'm not familiar with the rest of the cast. My daughter seems to think that the male lead, Derek Hough, is a big deal. Is he?
Didn't know whether to post this here or in K-Pop. Is BoA even considered a K-pop star?

Good! I am appeased, and now looking forward to the movie.

I'm glad to hear that and I'd love to hear the reactions of anyone on the board who sees it.
I wrote it up on my film blog:

I've even dug out my BoA albums and am listening to them now. I really like "BoA Best of Soul." I don't know why she fell off my radar, although I suppose she fell off others' radar as well.
Here's a shot from the film:

I went to Sakura Matsuri on Saturday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Cobu, the Taiko drumming group from MAKE YOUR MOVE, performed there and I took pictures and video clips and devoted an entry on my blog to the event and embedded some of the video I shot.

I (re)discovered Digitally Imported still exists from the days I used to listen to it on SHOUTcast. The vocal trance station is still as good as ever.
