Cambodian American singer/songwriter Bochan released her first single and video “Desires”. The music video was shot all over the streets of San Francisco from Union Square to Chinatown to the Embarcadero. The track calls for you to follow your desires and not be stuck in a 9 to 5 routine. Bochan bridges the gap between the East and the West – with her uniquely soulfully sweet and sultry Indie Pop sound with the help of pianist, Arlen Hart. She draws from both her current Oakland, CA urban environment and her traditional Cambodian upbringing to create this fresh intersection of worlds. Bochan grew up traveling around the US, singing for her father’s Cambodian rock bands. That journey is alive today in the music, which has moved from rock roots to its current inception. Stepping out from the traditional style, Bochan looks to enter a new musical age. She’s passionately sowing the seeds of a new style of diva.

Ken Jeong (Senor Chang) and Danny Pudi (Abed) are back in Season 2 of Community, a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College. Senor Chang returns to the series as a student instead of a teacher, while Abed continues as the fast-talking pop-culture junkie. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, “The Soup”), a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work. Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase (“Chuck”) as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs (“The Book of Daniel”) as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown (“Rules of Engagement”) as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi (“Greek”) as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie (“Mad Men”) as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover (“30 Rock”) as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong (“The Hangover”) as Spanish professor, Señor Chang. The season kicks off with crazy Anthropology teacher Betty White.
