Music Fan First: Oblivious Nerd Girl style

When the idea of this music video showcase was in it's infancy I had a mini panic attack. I thought to myself, "Where am I going to find these videos? Who will be out there?" After taking some deep breathes and calming myself down I realized I could look to my own musical library for a start.  It was fun to go through the music videos for artists that I totally dig.  Here are three artists who's videos we'll be showing at Flipping The Music Video.  These aren't the videos that will be screened, however these are other works in their repertoire.  So call it a sneak peak into what may be shown. 
Imago - Sundo by Marie Jamora.  I met Marie last year when her film Ang Nawawala screened at Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.  I immediately became a fan of how the film. The style. The actors. Even the way tumblr was used as a part of the film.  In addition to that the music was awesome. The soundtrack is full of OPM artists that are amazing.  

I've always had a thing for OPM. I am terrible at singing along since I can't really speak tagalog, but I really love the music.  Imago's Sundo is an example of my own musical taste in OPM.  When I hear this song I want to go on a road trip up PCH, stare at the ocean, and feel the wind in my hair. It's a song that reminds me of summer and being carefree. 
Rocky Rivera - No Love. It's funny, but I remember being a fan of the MTV show "I'm From Rolling Stone." I love reality tv. This is no secret. But I flipped my shit seeing this Filipina on screen competing for a spot on the Rolling Stone payroll. I even messaged her on MySpace and told her how I was a fan. (yes yes MySpace, I'm a nerd okay!) When she moved to LA a few years later, it tripped me out that I could consider this woman a friend.  When she decided to stake her own claim as a hip hop artist I was immediately intrigued. I've never been disappointed in the music she puts out.  

I am a fan of booming, hard hitting bass in my music. It's the reason I loved deep house in high school. It's the reason why Warren G's records still are some of my favorites.  When an emcee utilizes that sound I will instantly stop and listen.  No Love does that for me. And the lyrics. Hot damn. Listen to what she's spittin at you. It's as Dylan said on Puff Daddy's Making the Band - Hot Fire! 
Bambu (Featuring DJ Q-bert) - Crosshairs by Kevin Prudencio. This fool. I almost want to leave with just those two words, "This fool." I don't know if he knows this but my first memory is of him slanging cds at FPAC many, many, MANY moons ago. I was super young and my gut instinct was to roll my eyes at him.  For some reason whatever he said convinced me to give him my $5 or $10 whatever he was charging that day.  Since then I've worked with him on several community events and consider him a homie. Strawberry Farm Boy Mike and I have been in the audience of several of this mans shows. As all the other LA homies know, we do it because we are family and also fans. When he played the Roxy for the first time it was pretty insane. As much as we kid each other, I am a fan of his work.  

This song tripped me out because of DJ Q-bert being featured on the track.  Being married to Mike means I've learned quite a lot about djs through osmosis.  When we first started dating it would quite normal for him to play Invisible Scratch Pickles vhs tapes in the background of us studying for class.  The fact that I can remember the words "Invisible Scratch Pickles" is all due to him.  When Bambu's Crosshairs came out I geeked out at DJ Q-bert being on the song.  I'm a nerd. I blame Mike for this nerdy. 
I'm excited to see all these artists music videos in one place. I'm truly a fan and to bring them all together has been an awesome process. Come geek out with me. It will be fun!
