• Sita Sings the Blues

  Mythology and music are my greatest passions. So, anything that mashes the two up together in a new way is something I'm likely to find very cool. Such is the case with Sita Sings the Blues --an audience funded adventure that I only recently had the pleasure of discovering. Enjoy it here, then...

• 中醫: Chinese Medicine Hall

  Know much about Chinese medicine? Well, friends and I were fortunate enough to learn more about the subject as we made our way through the National Museum of Natural Science (國立自然科學博物館) in Taichung City (Taiwan) this past weekend. Displays within the museum include alchemic c...

• Copenhagen Live :: The UN Climate Conference

  Here at DeeJayDog.TV, politics aren't really our thing. But we've decided to become more committed to communicating about environmental issues here, as they are a matter of health. It's hard to live in health harmony with nature, if we continue to destroy nature and its rhythms. To shove off i...

• 花海: Flower Sea

  You guessed it! That's primarily what you're going to see when you visit the annual 'Flower Sea' in Taichung (Xinshe), Taiwan. Flowers! Lots of them! :-) ...

• Liufang

  Unparalleled in the universe as we know it, Liufang (劉芳Liúfāng), from Yunnan Province, China, is one of the most prominent pipa players in the world. (Talk about beauty, style and grace - Most of us don't even get close!) This is a true master. The Chinese pipa (琵琶 pípá) originated ...

• The Heritage of Kraftwerk

  'Who Knew That Robots Were Funky?' asks a recent New York Times article that describes Kraftwerk, a highly influential electronic music band from Germany, as the 'godfather of American hip-hop and black electronic dance music.' Journalist Mike Rubin compares Kraftwerk to other great music innova...

• 國立台灣美術館: National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts

  This past weekend I took a long, quiet stroll through the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. Some of the media exhibits were really astounding. As a person with a background in news/radio/broadcasting, there was a lot to appreciate and absorb. Here are few shots I got off - between security checks...

• 玉市: Jade Market

  China and India are places that come to mind when I think of haggling. In China you get molested just walking down the street! Don't have to buy anything - go to the wrong place at the wrong time and some little old lady will be tugging on your arm with one hand and digging in your pocket with the o...

• Wale & The Roots — Pretty Girls

  Wale gives me hope for the future of hiphop. Interesting, artistic, soulful -- so many of the qualities that have been lost in the bling age that followed Okayplayer and Rawkus Records bringing the noise. He released his debut album, Attention Deficit, yesterday. Also, this performance is just on...

• Derrick May: BBC Mix 2

  Three consecutive sets of DJ Derrick May behind the decks in his latest BBC 6 Radio Mix. Enjoy! :-)...

• Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on Letterman

  I can't say I've ever even heard of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros before a few moments ago. But I can say that I was fascinated by this performance. Goofy. Lovable. Based on this alone, I'd probably buy a ticket to go see them live. ...

• U2 on YouTube

  On Sunday night of last week, 97,000 fans packed the Rose Bowl like little, tiny sardines to see U2 rock the arena. This concert was live streamed on YouTube to nearly 10 million people in 188 countries, making it one the largest live-streamed events to date. Here it is for your enjoyment. Als...

• Mos Def :: Please Quit Acting

  This is evidence of why Mos Def should fucking stick to music. I get it. He's an artist. He wants to diversify and all that. But he's an average to decent actor. He's arguably one of the best EmCees ever. And might be the best ever period, if he just stuck to rocking it. But that's ...

• [new video] MIIKE SNOW – Black & Blue — Directed by Vincent Haycock

  Miike Snow took The Hype Machine by storm last week. For Black & Blue, Vincent Haycock took a great song and made a great video to match it. Not much more to say. Just watch. And enjoy. Great song MIIKE SNOW - Black & Blue from vincent haycock on Vimeo. ...

• Jeff Mills & Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra – The Blue Potential

  This just proves that DJs aren't real musicians. They just kind of lay one record on top of the next, you know? Certainly, that's all Jeff Mills does here⸮ ...

• This is How You Rock It :: Otis Redding

  Otis Redding, The King of Soul, is one of the greatest singers of all time. Here's proof. Singing 'Shake' with Eric Burdon and Chris Farlowe. Singing 'Pain in My Heart.' GottaGottaGottaGotta 'Try a Little Tenderness.' ...

• Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White

  The music documentary Loud is on its way and it looks incredible. "If you're a music fan, if you love rock and roll, if you're a Led Zeppelin fan, or a U2 fan, or White Stripes fan--this is the movie for you because it's like music, wall-to-wall music..." -- Davis Guggenheim. ...

• Jasmine Tries Out for The Next Food Network Star

  Today, Jasmine tried out for The Next Food Network Star. Here are some quick clips. Before. After. ...

• Cloud Gate Dance Theatre (2)

  Renowned for their organic, sensual beauty, Cloud Gate (雲門舞集) performances are spellbinding experiences which routinely leave audiences completely awestruck. This event, held at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan, was the second (and last) in a series of free Cloud Gate performa...
