that's the joint, that's the jam, turn that s#!t up, play it again.

ok, honestly and sincerely, i have been a fan of BEP since they were a trio consisting of just Will, Apl and Taboo. and while i think Fergie is a great addition to the group, in the first cd in which she appeared -- which is the third cd for the group as a whole -- she seemed to be just that, an addition. but the fourth cd, monkey business, makes it more evident that she is a part of the group, and not so much a supporting character or featured singer a la Justin Timberlake. but the black eyed peas remain true to the basic of what they have always tried to make, music that makes you wanna... the sentence could really be completed with plethora of different things for different people.
at any rate, happenings in my life. i just recently returned from my three hour tour, on which i was able to the Wallace and Gromit movie which i absolutely loved. and i also now have the most bizarre hankering for cheese, especially the Stinky Bishop.
Coco Lee has a new english cd, the second of hers to be released in english. however, it seems to still only be available in china, and quite possibly europe, but definitely no signs of a stateside release. this is similar to the original "crossover" cd release. for anyone who doesn't know, Coco Lee was born in china but raised in the states and so her first language is suprisingly english. and most of her influences are inspired by music from the states as well. so you don't often get the pop music so very sought after in that particular region, but what you do get is skillfully r&b drenched songs with a chinese influence, instead of the other way around. what great is that other artists have tried to follow suit in the maturing of musical styles like yuki hsu. not many of the male vocalists attempt this it seems, but that may also have to do with the fact that most of female artists followers are male. in fact, Coco Lee appears in this months esquire as one of the worlds most sexy women from the Taiwan voters.
this whole costume thing has gotten me in a pickle. just how much can i create of it? i think in the end, i'm not even sure i'll be able to do anything for halloween anyway. or maybe that i won't even want to. for future reference, i think i will definitely have to start planning my costumes out much further in advance so i can creatively have time to truely cosplay at the one time is perfectly ok to do so within los EE.UU.
