Just Can't Get Enough by Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas released their music video for the song “Just Can’t Get Enough”. The video was shot one week before the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Before the video begins, they offer a heartfelt message “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. We Love You.” The neon laced guerrilla-style music video shows the vibrancy of the country before the disaster. Here’s more from the Black Eyes Peas on the “Just Can’t Get Enough” music video:

“It was the easiest video I ever shot because it was us living our lives,” explains Fergie. I love that it’s showing a true perspective of how it can sometimes be lonely on the road away from our loved ones. It also demonstrates the love and connection we have with Japan. Our heart goes out to all of the Japanese people who have been affected by this natural disaster.”

Taboo continues, “It was an amazing moment in time because Japan has always been my favorite place on the planet and it was great to do our video there! God bless the Japanese our love goes out to them.”

apl.de.ap confirmed that “doing it guerrilla style in Tokyo was the way to capture it!”

Lyrics to Just Can’t Get Enough by Black Eyed Peas

Boy I think about it every night and day
I’m addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn’t wanna have it any other way
I’m addicted and I just can’t get enough

I just can’t get enough

Honey got a sexy all steamin
She givin hotness a new meanin
Perfection mama you gleamin
Inception you got a brother dreamin dreamin

Damn baby I’m feignin
I’m trynna holler at you, I’m screamin
Let me love you down this evenin
Love you love you ya you know you are my demon

Girl we could form a team and
I could be the king you could be the queen and
My mind’s dirty and it don’t need cleanin
I love you long time so you know the meanin

Oh baby I can’t come down so please come help me out
You got me feelin high and I can’t step off the cloud
And I just can’t get enough

Boy I think about it every night and day
I’m addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn’t wanna have it any other way
I’m addicted and I just can’t get enough

I just can’t get enough
I just can’t get enough
I just can’t get enough
I just can’t get enough

Honey got me runnin like I’m flo jo
Signs her name on my heart with an X-O
Love’s so sweet got me vexed oh
I wanna wish it right back like presto, yes

Meantime I wait for the next time
She come around ‘fore I toast to the best time

We LOL back and forth on the text line
She got me fishin for her love I confess I’m

Somethin bout her smile and that combo
Got me high and I ain’t comin down yo
My heart’s pumpin out louder than electro
She got me feelin like Mr. Roboto

Oh baby I can’t come down so please come help me out
You got me feelin high and I can’t step off the cloud
And I just can’t get enough

Boy I think about it every night and day
I’m addicted wanna jump inside your love
I wouldn’t wanna have it any other way
I’m addicted and I just can’t get enough

I just can’t

Not
Sunk in your bed rock
Caught
Up in your love shock
Knocked
Out by your cold shot
I’m stuck in your head li-

Can’t get out won’t when
Makin me feign, give it to me
I want it all, know what I mean
Your love is a dose of ecstasy

Addicted
I can’t get
Away from
You
Afflicted
I need it
I’m missin
I want your lovin right next to me
And I can’t
Erase ya out of my memory

Look for his 10-track EP Zero.0 to hit the internet on Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Meanwhile, Anoop is leaking one track from Zero.0 every Wednesday until the release. (Listen to last week’s release “Want Your Love” and “OoWee“.)

The Zero.0 EP is the first of three albums Anoop will be releasing this year as part of his Zero Trilogy. Everything he’s done since American Idol has been self-funded including the “Zero” Trilogy. He’s looking to raise $10,000 to help fund this project. (Since last week, he’s mover to 80% funded with 20 days left.) If you would like to support him, you can go here.

For those of you out in the San Francisco Bay area, Anoop Desai will be over at the Warriors game tonite.

Beholder by Nisha Ganatra

Futurestates Season 2 is underway. The first episode “Beholder,” directed by Nisha Ganatra, of the series is out. It offers some thought-provoking ideas. Here’s a synopsis of the short:

Beholder takes place in the biosphere-protected Red Estates, a gated community with a socially conservative political majority. At a clinic where patients can genetically engineer their children, Sasha, the wife of rising political star Bobby Aryana, is informed that her baby carries the genetic marker for homosexuality. By the laws of Red Estates, this is an aberration that must be dealt with immediately, and Sasha must decide between staying faithful to the love of her life or risking everything. Touching on issues of race, sexual orientation, and conformity, Beholder examines the notion of identity and the costs of belonging.

What happens to our sense of self when we begin to identify as only the lumbering mass of the majority? Looks like director Nisha Ganatra may be taking a jab at Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal.

Chasing Mood Season 2 Trailer

Chasing Mood Season 2 Trailer

The little web series that could, “Chasing Mood”, returns on Tuesdays beginning March 29, 2011 with eight hard-hitting episodes for season 2. The comedic series, which follows the lives of two guys trying to find their calling in life, has not only caught the attention of online viewers, but big name actors as well, who are eager to participate in the series. “Chasing Mood” stars Canadian actors Curtis Lum and Brendon Bertolini, whose all too familiar story of actors with extreme passion for becoming respected but not getting the roles to reflect their hunger led them to this successful series. In season 2, the episodes will be released every Tuesday at 9pm starting March 29, 2011 with episodes ranging from 5-6 minutes in length.

In Season 1, we met the characters of “Chasing Mood” and were treated to nine episodes chronicling the uncomfortably “real” tales of Brendon and Curtis aggressively chasing their dreams of being actors and failing miserably. Brendon‟s hobbies include video games and making everyone around him feel uncomfortable, while Curtis focuses on partying, smooth talking ladies, and keeping his friends out of trouble. “As this duo evolved as people and actors, so did the show, which morphed from a show about two actors, to a show that (in season two) revolves around a couple of guys trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives. It grew so much from a show where we poked fun at the film industry, to a show that is now putting a comedic spin on everyday life.” says writer and director Leslie Birch.

In season 2, “Chasing Mood” welcomes Jarod Johnson (Melrick Jr), who plays Brendon‟s fast talking hustler friend, and Red, played by Blu Mankuma (“2012”, “Fathers & Sons”, “Andromeda”) who also starred in Season 1. Red, a recently retired actor, realizing his lifelong dream of running a diner, gives sound advice to the patrons and other actors. Audiences will also be introduced to the high strung, eccentric, and sometimes volatile, Johnson Phan (“War”, “True Justice”). Like Curtis Lum and Brendon Bertolini, Johnson plays himself. In the second season, viewers can expect to see that for the first time in a while, Curtis doesn’t really know what he wants to do with his life. His friend Brendon has just come back to the city, and even though he’s glad Brendon‟s back, he feels as though he’s come back a little strange. Curtis couldn’t have picked a better time to soul search because his uncle went away on business and left him the keys to his amazing condo. With a great new place and great friends around him, it should be easy to find the time to reflect and figure out what he wants to do with his life, but something tells us he‟s not going to get the chance to do this.

More about Chasing Mood

Curtis Lum, born and raised in Vancouver, has always had a burning desire to entertain. Growing up in a traditional working class Asian family, becoming an actor was not a typical career choice. He honed his craft secretly, and within a year, landed a reoccurring role on the Canadian teen-drama “Renegade Press”. He then booked his first movie “Dim Sum Funeral” (Bai Ling, Steph Song, Russel Wong) and has since had roles on “Shattered”, “The Vampire Diaries” and “Psych”, to name a few.

Brendon Bertolini was raised in Yellowknife, NWT. Wanting to pursue an acting career, he moved to Vancouver in 2008 and quickly began landing roles in short films. Brendon (a self proclaimed gamer geek) continues to work hard for his dream of a career in film and television.

Both the cast and crew of “Chasing Mood” have special reasons to be so dedicated to this unique and hilariously scripted show produced by Leslie Birch, Curtis Lum and Todd Giroux. Todd has over 17 years in the film and media industry, most recently heading up Canada‟s largest Post Production company. Todd also sits on the Board of Advisors for the School of Broadcast- TV, Radio and Journalism at BCIT. Leslie also writes and directs the show pulling from his rich background with some of the industry‟s top production companies, and brings his known talents with “guerrilla style” filming to add a unique flavour to the series.

How to hack video screens in Times Square

How to hack video screens in Times Square

This video is circulating around the tech blogosphere. It shows a guy hacking video screens in Times Square. Is it real? Is it fake? Is it a viral ad for an unknown product? (remember that Cellphone Popcorn video a few years back.) These the questions circulating with this popular video, purporting to show some hi-tech trickery in Times Square.

Here’s what the YouTube account says about the video:

the way it works is pretty simple: plug in my transmitter into the iphone 4 and play back any video clip. you can play it through the ipod feature or through the camera roll. the transmitter instantly sends the video signal to the video repeater and the video repeater overrides any video screen that it’s being held next to. it doesn’t matter what shape or size the hacked screen is because the hack video will simply keep its correct dimensions and the rest of the hacked space will stay black.

i chose times square for my demo because it has lots of video screens to try it on. it is also one of the most monitored and secured areas in new york city and that made it that much more fun :). you can see in my video that the repeater is pretty powerful but the signal is not very stable yet. i’m working on that. i will post a new video later this week explaining how i made this prototype.
