This is one of my favorite days of the year.
"Outsider" music video is done
Apparently I forgot to mention that we were doing a music video for “Outsider.”
Uh… so yeah. We were and we did. (I’m tempted to post a screenshot but our DP has told us not to.)
This was a long-gestating project between myself and one of my closest friends, director and writer NaRhee Ahn. Unbelievably we’d never worked together before. I guess it took a song...

accidental facebook break
So I’m recovering from a bad cold or something and I was too proud to put a facebook status like, “being sick sucks!” or “need to get better before the party this weekend!” just to elicit comments from friends such as “awww, get better soon!” (disclaimer: if you are a girl, this behavior is OK. Don’t ask me to explain this)
And since the only...

First reviews of album are coming in now, apparently in real time. Quincy: “intro track somewhere between danceable and ominous-before-boss-stage videogame music. I approve.”
Listening / Launch Party!!
After over a year and a half, I’m happy to say my new album (“A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Insomniac”) is finally ready for your ears!
Please join me for a listening and launch party at Gallery Nucleus on Friday, March 25 at 8pm. There will be food, art, videos, vintage clothing and, last but certainly not least, music.
The night will feature:

Well there’s gonna be a music video shoot tomorrow. Apparently, more than six months of delays and countless derails were not enough to stop me.

Happy MLK day! Also, the album has entered final mixing. Sorry for the long wait… trying to make it as good as I can!

I only have one comment after finally reading the Amy Chua excerpt (Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior), and it shall be directed to the writer’s husband, Jed: Thanks for taking one for the team!!
To the garden where you held me…

btw
I love most of the things Apple makes (as I in turn use them to make my music), but the thought that people are going to listen to my next album on these shitty white earbuds make me wanna set my microKorg on fire. /rant
holidays are ending
So we took my bro back to the airport this afternoon only to find that while all the other flights to NY took off on time or even early, HIS flight was delayed five hours until tonight. So basically the reverse of last night. Anyway, he’s safely nodding off on a plane now, and it was more time with him, so it’s all good. Sidenote: at dinner I ate a burger topped with pork belly and...
the weirdest thing happened last night
When I dream music, I always, always dream it in the key of C Major. I have no idea why. Last night, however, I dreamt a song in G Major. #whatshappeningtome
Holiday update
Well my brother is trying to get on a flight to NY at the tail end of blizzard time, and we’re waiting for him just in case outside the terminal in the parking lot… so figured I would take a minute and update my blog!
The holidays have been great. I took several additional days off work and spent a week with my family, which turned out to be one of my best decisions this year. The older I get,...

Thanksgiving Eve. Eve.
Sorry for the lack of updates… been sick but pretty much fine now, except for a little coughing. Here is where I am with stuff: I recently recorded Eugene for a few songs, which was awesome. Now I’ve pretty much done all the recording on the new album except for my background singers, and I’m meeting up w/ Quincy and Dow-An tomorrow. After that, I’ll be in the mixing stage,...
It’s a beautiful day in LA. That is all.
Fall Back, how do I love thee, let me count the...
This is seriously like one of my favorite holidays. It goes: Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fall Back.
I can’t express to you how much happiness it brings me to get an hour back without having to do anything. An hour more to sleep, an hour more to work on comping vocals tomorrow, or hey, to SLEEP. Some people love Spring Forward. I want to punch those people in the mouth. But because...
