So I hate resorting to the quickies but I’m tired and want to get some stuff out there soooo

  • ChannelAPA reports on WongFu & David Choi teaming up for DC’s first music video for his single ‘Wont Even Start’. Their vlog video teaser is actually hilarious in a very toungue in cheek, dry type of way.
  • EXP recently posted two myspace bulletins hinting that a couple of UFC fighters are considering using his music for their entrances. An unexpected but great thing to hear for the Movement crew MC.
  • Marie Digby has posted some bad news and good news on her myspace. First, her upcoming album ‘Breathing Underwater’ has been leaked online. Secondly, her lead single ‘Avalanche’ will be playing on tonight’s episode of ‘The Hills’.
  • AAM reports that under-the-radar acoustic artist Kevin So has just released a new album entitled ‘Best Foot Forward’. Kevin’s been in the game forever and deserves some limelight.
  • AllKPOP has an update on Yoo Seung Jun’s jump to the silver screen.
  • YG’s cash cows Big Bang and newbie group 2NE1 has been featured on Perez’s website with their single ‘Lollipop’ as he continues to dive into KPOP fandom. I gotta admit, it’s stupidly catchy.
