Tei have you seen these M-Flo performances? they are very awesome:
-
Wheesung with M-Flo-
M-flo meets Wheesung in Budokan - I'm DA 1 Wheesung's a pretty handsome Korean boy.
Verbal is also Korean.
(Yes, I am procrastinating very hard today.)
EDIT: ok so now I went and looked up some Thai Pop. The first few songs I found were difficult to appreciate without understanding Thai, but I found a cool song:
-
[T-Pop] Tick-Tock - Palmy - Thai hippy /cowgirls rocking it out? @_@
-
Another one by Palmy - pretty groovy.
-
Another upbeat song.
-
[T-POP] Stay - ปาล์มมี่ - Beautiful guitar playing. Such a sweet, longing melody. ;_; (
"Stay" lyrics)
Hmm, Palmy is Thai-Belgian, but has been studying in Sydney for a while (
interview)... pretty cool, she is.
EDIT2: I heard Kylie Minogue's
Did It Again on the radio the other day.
EDIT3: Utada Hikaru's
Passions video has a gorgeous flowing animation at the start.
Previously in Dinosaur Comics, T-Rex explains
The Uncanny Valley - the uneasiness when robots/cartoons approach near-realism: they start to look like real people who are TERRIBLE WRONG.
A more detailed paper, with graphs! (The rest of that site looks interesting as well.)
