I’ve been a fan of The Morning Benders for a hot second now, but it was more along the lines of having one song in my iTunes that I’d play viciously on repeat without ever looking more into the band. So when their “Boarded Doors” video dropped today I was surprised to learn that the lead singer is Chinese, and they’re from Oakland! And this video has him selling womens’ shoes, which brings back painful memories of my winter ‘01 job (that’s right, folks…Macy’s women’s shoes, Stoneridge Mall. Slip of the Tongue was really a reference to a pair of Rocket Dogs). Lastly, in this video Chris is mighty popular with the older white ladies. I think this speaks for itself:
My Conclusion: If you shave Chris’ head, you basically have me.

COOL ASIAN: Juno Mak

Although I’m thrilled that Kanye consistently shows love to Asian folks, I feel pretty shitty about myself that I depend on him to introduce me to new Chinese hip-hop videos. Shouldn’t we all have internal radars that direct us to the appropriate links anytime something really dope comes from our own people? Anyway, here’s “Lam Man Lung” by Juno Mak, featuring Softhand (silly name…everyone knows that all Chinese people have soft hands).
This video is freakin great and it’s good to hear some dope Cantonese hip-hop. It also helps me reaffirm my confidence that Asian people will in fact make it to the outer-space future, despite the fact that we didn’t make it into Wall-E.
I FLEW MY TIME MACHINE INTO THE FUTURE AND FOUND MYSELF.
