POP 88 #50 – Special Non-Stop FemBOTmix
This is my first time using Ableton for a Non-stop mix. You’d think beat matching software would be easier (PLo balked when I told him I was about to go back to Garageband. *thehorror!thehorror!* Really, I just need more time to practice.) While I don’t have much of an excuse for my absence between podcasts, let’s just say that I’ve finally found some juice to keep me going for at least 50 more episodes. Apart [...] Continue »

POP 88 #49 - Somewhere Between - Interview with dir. Linda Goldstein Knowlton [ 38:07 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (209)Back from my travels in Korea! You would think in one of the most connected part of the world, I would be able to be ‘more connected’ but actually found out that despite free WiFi everywhere, when I really needed it, I needed to have a data plan. In this episode, I chat with Linda Goldstein-Knowlton, the director of Somewhere Between, a documentary about Chinese adoptees, some popular Kpop YouTubers make a brief appearance and [...] Continue »

POP 88 #47 – Back and Ready for 2011
I’m back after my winter hiatus, refreshed and energized for the upcoming year. There are going to be some changes and new developments, so you’ll want to stick around to see what new and interesting things pop up. In this episode, you’ll have to excuse the FANGIRL in me as I play the latest music from AFTER SCHOOL including their collaboration with Namie Amuro. I also drop another collabo with Traphik, Dumbfounded and Jin, some [...] Continue »
POP 88 #46 – POP 88 loves KYLIE
Kylie Minogue is one of those artists that can do no wrong. She’s lovable as a personality and can turn on the sizzle when she needs to. She is one of the few Western artists that can don a kimono and geisha wig and make it work in the most artful and classy way possible – even in a bikini – in a bathtub. “You will like my sense of style.” – Indeed. And honestly, [...] Continue »

POP 88 #44 – DJ PLo’s Non-Stop Trance Remix
You’ll notice I sound a bit different in this episode. In fact, I’ve got a guest DJ who kindly asked if he could mix this episode for me. And seeing as how I haven’t exactly learned how to spin, virtual or otherwise, it probably would be something fun and different for you all to listen to. Please welcome DJ PLo from KSCU 103.3FM in Santa Clara who can also be heard at OMGKPOP.com Wednesday Evenings [...] Continue »

POP 88 #42 – The House of Suh
While there were a lot of really fascinating documentaries shown at this year’s Hot Docs World Documentary Festival in Toronto this past week, one of the more stand out ones was “The House of Suh”. Directed by Iris Shim, the documentary shows the rise and demise of a Korean-American family that was so intriguing, it was made into a TV film called, “Bad To the Bone” in 1997 starring Kristy Swanson and Jeremy London. I [...] Continue »
Global Talk Show: East vs. West Perspectives
Most people who follow my antics from POP 88 would know I LOVE watching Global Talk Show, an informal round table of “foreigners” living and working in Korea. Since my last post about this show, it has gone through a controversy which resulted in the entire production crew being fired resigning, added some male eye candy as a result (Poh, rowr!) and seems to have now gone through a format change involving questions relating to [...] Continue »
