bad videos
The best thing about me getting back into my gym routine is that I can consume more bad videos! This band Saosin seriously sucks. The video has montages of their photoshoot. That alone is a crime. And then there are other scenes of the band “goofing off”. The video is filmed like a high school video yearbook. I’ll bet they had someone strategically spray sweat on them for the live concert scene. HATE!
Even funnier is that the band can’t even pronounce their own name correctly!
The way to pronounce Saosin has been a topic of intense debate among fans. Despite Anthony Green’s explanation that it came from the Chinese proverb meaning “small heart” and that he, the one responsible for the name choice, pronounced it “say-ocean”, the current members of the band primarily pronounce it “Say-Oh-Sin”, meaning either pronunciation is widely considered acceptable.
1.) If it really is from a Chinese proverb, then it is spelled wrong, and spoken incorrectly. If this is Mandarin then for small heart it is supposed to be “xiao xin” but if it is Cantonese - well, my Cantonese is not too good, but it might be the correct spelling…but as for the pronunciation - if we are going by the saosin version - they it is: sow (ow like “ow I hurt myself) sing. and 2.) I just wanted to tell you, I went to Barnes & Nobles the other day, and they were having a Buy one Get one Free sale on all TV series DVD’s, including 10% off (add’l 10% for members, which would be me!!!)- I bought Deadwood Season 2 and Rome for $85!!! What a steal!!! yeah!

holler- watch Rome immediately.
I think the name is supposed to be from Xiao Xin. Not that they or their fans would even know.
