Lyrics to JOEY THE DOGG

joey is the name of my dog 
a little puppy who can bark and talk 
goes to my school 
everyone thinks he’s cool 
cuz my puppy’s got a really big heart

joey knows the answers in class 
raises his paw cuz he got no hands 
and u can bet he’s the teachers pet 
but its all good cuz he makes us laugh

his name is joey the dogg

and when i’m sad he lets me hold him tight 
he’s by my side when i sleep at night 
when i get moody joey shakes his booty 
just like that, he makes me feel alright 
i feel alright

and if u ask him what his name is, 
he’ll say joey the dogg 
my little puppy is the greatest 
its joey….the most the beautiful dog 
he’s joey…a beautiful dog, a beautiful dog…

lemme tell ya bout j-j-joey 
my dogs a baller not much taller than the ball 
yall best listen, he’s all about fetchin kisses 
from shorties cuz that’s my dogg

he crawls around this town 
he gets down to that canine sound of: 
“oooo oooo!!” his doggie style 
j-j-joey that’s my dogg

this playa play likes to play around 
playa play all day he play me 
playin like he play playstation, playa 
that’s my dogg

better than scoobie snoopy goofy pluto 
any dog that u kno 
little todo got nothin on j-joey jo joe 
cuz that’s my dogg

and if u ask him what his name is 
he’ll say joey the dogg 
my little puppy is the greatest 
he’s joey, the most beautiful dog 
he’s joey! a beautiful dog

I’m in love with joey the dogg 
i’m in love with joey the dogg 
i’m in love with joey the dogg 
his name is joey…joey the dogg

“joey, that’s me…ruff ruff, arf!”

Two of Us by Tony T Nguyen and Connie Lim

Tony T Nguyen Two of Us

Tony T Nguyen has released a music video to his single “Two of Us”. It takes place in the distant future with only two robots left (one male and one female). The scientist attempts to rebuild the world with love by uploading an old file (modern day) of how men and women are suppose to bond with each other. During this process, the scientist tries to contain any viruses from infecting the file so that the robots can have a pure transfer of what love is with no corrupted memories.

The video also features vocals from Connie Lim as well as appearances by Kim Do and Can Nguyen from Poreotics. Kristine Sa is credited as the songwriter.

Lyrics to Two of Us by Tony T Nguyen

Male: 
The numbers on this clock 
They haven’t changed for days 
Is this how I should feel 
Transcending time and space

Female: 
We move and inch 
and all this commotion, this release 
I’m at a loss for words 
What is this feeling in me?

Male: 
Well there was a time that 
The most simple thing is all we need 
As if I once knew it

Female: 
There was a world where 
What matters is simple as can be 
There was nothing to it

Both: 
My skin and flesh can see 
The deepest part of me

Male: 
My heart remembers all that space 
My lips remember how you taste 
Another time, another place

Female: 
Heartbeats racing 
Fingers tracing 
Empty spaces 
Raw emotion

Crawling under 
Spilling over 
Still together 
Still in motion

Scream in silence 
Quiet guidance 
Safe reliance 
Deep as oceans

Both: 
I can faintly recall how it was

Male: 
So here we are 
Wherever here and now may be

Female: 
I close my eyes 
But I still see you seeing me

HUPA Presents “Foundations” featuring work by Tony Hong

HUPA Presents "Foundations" Featuring work by Tony Hong

For anyone who is interested in attending, Hold Up Art Lovers (HUPA) will be hosting an art gallery featuring a body of work on paper and wood that artist Tony Hong has been amassing since he has begun his bold new style of line-centric work over the past two years. The show will also feature limited edition silkscreen prints hand pressed and pulled by the artist.

Tony Hong is an emerging Korean-American contemporary artist who works exclusively in ink. While he considers himself a simple line maker, these lines ultimately form an intensely detailed image of organic matter.

HUPA curator Brian says…
“The concentration and attention to detail required to execute the pieces Hong is showcasing in ‘Foundations’ is rarely seen in today’s pop centric art world. Not only does he refocus our attention from character and brand, which we typically have seen so much of in the past years, to more basic elements of art such as line and weight, but also Hong is on the cusps of the new focus in Californian contemporary which is an emphasis on design as it pertains to fine art.”

The event will be held at 358 E 2nd Street in Los Angeles. For more information, go to the facebook event page.
