Remix Competitions, Winq Magazine & BoA

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:

Dave talks about pop artists with remix competitions. Everyone from Black Eyed Peas to Annie and even Sugababes are doing it these days. An excellent opportunity for up-and-coming producers and of course, it generates invaluable hype for the artist and song.

MAGAZINE:

Dave reviews his new favourite magazine, Winq - a global queer culture magazine for gay men. Why is it so hard to find a well-proportioned gay men's magazine? Pun intended.

MUSIC:

Dave spins Korean pop sensation BoA's debut English album. Fans of Britney's Blackout - take note. This could be right up your alley. Tune in to sample four tracks off the BoA album, including the current club heat 'Energetic'.

Shoe Swap: American vs. Asian Food Stores

Let's go food shopping! This week Jade and Dave swap shopping trolleys as they head into the other's favourite 'ethnic' grocery store.

(Sweet dreams: Dave will attempt to make a classic American dessert... Jell-O!)

After years of living with her American partner, Jade has become fond of particular American foods and brands... so this week, she's sent Dave to check out an American food store. Much to Dave's surprise there's wall to wall jumbo-sized dessert and seasonings! Tune in tonight to hear Dave wax lyrical about Jell-O, Dr. Pepper and peanut-flavoured pretzels.

(Move over Nigella: here Dave shows you how to prepare Oreo Jello!)

Meanwhile, Jade really should've tagged along when Mama Lim went for her weekly grocery shopping at an Asian food store! Tune in tonight to hear Jade report on her findings - everything from snacks to the endless variety of instant noodles.

(Asian persuasion: BoA joins other Asian artists on tonight's Diff'rent Strokes playlist)

In honour of this east meets west, yin and yang fest tonight... Dave's side of the playlist will feature Asian artists: you can expect everyone from Jin to Margaret Cho, Utada to even BoA.

So get your shrimp crackers and marshmellow spreads ready for a night of flavoursome radio!
