Osang is better than anybody I’ve seen on American Idol in the last five years. This transgender contestant rocks Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” and goes in an entirely different direction with Shaggy’s “Mr. Boombastic“. Underneath Osang’s effeminate facade is a hard-rocking power singer with enough versatility to tackle reggae grooves. Watch this video (please) and become a witness to Osang taking over the world (well…at least Southeast Asia).

Snoop Dogg’s Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Video
Here’s the video for “Knocc ‘Em Down” by Snoop Dogg (Lion), a song featured in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The video features a reincarnated Bob Marley, Adrianne Curry, FilthieRich, Mark Man, Justin Wong, and more. There are supposed to be hints that point to Snoop Dogg’s transformation into Snoop Lion throughout the clip (and he does proclaim him self Snoop Lion at the end of the video), but I didn’t see them since I’m still coming to terms with the concept of a reincarnated Bob Marley. Will he go on tour with Hologram Tupac?!?
Anyway, check out the Tekken-tastic video when you have a chance and let me know what you think (please).
AC/DC…the Wine Collection
AC/DC has announced that that band’s wines are now available in the US and Canada. Yes, the Australian rockers have their very own Australian wines, which are now available through Vinport. The tasty selections include:
Back in Black Shiraz
Hell’s Bells Sauvignon Blanc
Highway to Hell Cabernet Sauvignon
Thunderstruck Chardonnay
Normally, I prefer cabernets over chards, but Thunderstruck Chardonnay sound too awesome to pass up. Actually, they all sound awesome!
Which, if any, AC/DC wine would you drink first?
Andrew Lloyd Webber Wii Game Coming in September
Coming in September is…an Andrew Lloyd Webber videogame?!? It’s true! Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals: Sing & Dance arrives for the Nintendo Wii on September 14, packed with songs from more than a dozen of the composer’s musicals. According to the press release, the game will feature timeless hits such as:
- “All I Ask of You”
- “Any Dream Will Do”
- “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”
- “Memory”
- “The Phantom of the Opera”
- “Superstar”
Featured musicals include:
- Cats
- Evita
- Jesus Christ Superstar
- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
- The Phantom of the Opera
- Starlight Express
- Sunset Boulevard
The game will feature separate song and dance modes, as well as a career mode that combines both.
Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals: Sing & Dance is set to be published by Tubby Games and, quite sadly, is only confirmed for a UK release. I’m so jealous of British gamers right now. I love musicals.
Tokova Tiger Shark: Meet Soulja Boy’s Android Tablet
Say hello to the Tokova Tiger Shark Soulja Boy Edition, a Google Android tablet that bears the American hip-hop artists name. After thinking about it for several hours, I’m still not sure what to make of the fact that we live in a world where a Soulja Boy-branded Android tablet exists. Part of me thinks it’s cool to see more celebrity-branded consumer-electronics (Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers camera was cool!). Part of me is afraid to see something like…I don’t know…a Toby Keith-branded mobile phone.
Here are the Soulja-specs for this $399.99 tablet:
- Display: 7” Display 1024X600 IPS Resolution
- Size: 7.5 x 5 x 0.4
- Weight: 12 ounces

- Battery Life: Up to 8HRS.
- Storage: 64 Internal Storage Supports 32 SD
- Camera: Front-Facing Camera Rear-Facing 2 Mega Pixel
- Smart Phone Connectivity: GSM 850/900/1800/1900/ UMST/2100
- WCDMA Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n
- USB: Micro USB port HDMI Port Bluetooth® DC Port
- Multimedia: Stereo Speakers Stereo Microphones

- Web Browsing: Adobe Flash® 10.3 HTML 5
Branding aside, it’s kind of pricey for a seven-inch tablet. You might as well get a Nexus 7 and have a talented artist write Soulja Boy on the back of it. You’d either be lauded for your originality or someone will make a diss track about you and your poser tablet. Either way, you’ll still have better tech at a cheaper price.
What do you tink of the Tokova Tiger Shark Soulja Boy Edition? Are there any celebrity-technology pairings that you long to see?

The Doors Sing “Reading Rainbow” Theme Song
My markdom for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon continues with this sweet clip of The Doors performing the theme song from Reading Rainbow. The phrase, “Butterfly in the sky. I can go twice as high,” has an entirely different meaning when Jim Morrison (portrayed by Fallon) sings it. I think it’s an awesome performance, but don’t take my word for it….
Powerfox & Ponymane Beatles Mashup
This has been a stressful week for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, it’s Friday! Let’s try to kick off the weekend with shiny happy feelings. You know what always makes me happy? Listening to Powerfox & Ponymane! Watch and listen to these lovely ladies mash up a pair of songs by The Beatles. Hopefully it puts a smile on your face. Happy Friday!
Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake: History of Rap
I just spent an hour watching “The History of Rap” clips from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. I love it when Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake team up. “The Barry Gibb Talk Show” is one of my favorite SNL sketches of all time. When these guys get together, they produce a lovely combination of music and comedy. Besides, it’s just cool hearing medleys that include music from some of the best hip-hop artists from the last few decades…and also Vanilla Ice. Also, I love watching Questlove play drums; in my head I imagine that Dr. Cornel West is the drummer for The Roots.
Anyway, enjoy these two clips and let me know what you think (please!).
Anne Hathaway Raps ‘Lil Wayne Style on Conan
My friend Tara posted this Conan clip of Anne Hathaway rapping about her problems with the paparazzi. I didn’t think Hathaway could get any hotter. I was wrong. Wow.
Goldenvoice Announces SS Coachella Cruise
Goldenvoice is taking the Coachella music festival from the desert to the ocean on the SS Coachella. Hitting the Bahamas on December 16-19 and Jamaica from December 19-23, the seafaring version of Coachella features Pulp, Girl Talk, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, and more. In addition to catching music, attendees will be able to enjoy high-end restaurants, shopping, gambling, yoga, a luxury spa, and more. Tickets for the SS Coachella go on sale this Saturday.
I love that Goldenvoice is thinking outside the box with the SS Coachella. That said, it’s very strange. When I think of Coachella, I think of thousands of dirty kids enjoying music in a crap desert in California. I’m fairly certain that a luxury cruise will not have the same spirit.
Of course, I could be wrong. What do you think? Will this ocean-bound venture be as successful as its desert counterpart? Are any of you interested in setting sail on the SS Coachella?
