L!FE, Golden Bachelor racism & upcoming anime releases (29/11/25)

L!FE is a Melbourne-based Filipino songwriter and producer, whose music combines hip-hop, rock and pop styles, with honest lyrics about, well, life! All its highs, all its lows and what it is like to be a human and alive.

A week prior, APN attended L!FE's release party for his new EP 'I'm a Human Being' and fell in love with his energetic hip-hop beats you couldn't resist head bopping to, and infectious stage presence. We were so grateful to be able to talk to him live in the studio and hear him perform his song 'Show Me What You Got' (which he definitely did!).

Asians at the GRAMMY's and going back to the homeland (22/11/25)

In the week leading up this show, the team at APN had been out and about completing various side-quests! The local scene for Asian art was truly thriving that week! Jessica, Annabella and Denise saw the 2005 Japanese film 'Linda Linda Linda' that was remastered and brought to Melbourne by the Asian Cinema Collective. They also went to see four incredible local Asian Australian musicians at Limitless Play, the opening event of No Vacancy gallery headlined by Juniper Care, with wonderful openers Wen Pei Low, JXCKY and Robert Baxter!!! And finally, a not-so-local band graced Australia with their presence....and that was none other than TWICE. Give this episode a listen to hear all about it!!!

(2:55) Linda Linda Linda - we love female friendship and miss high school!

(11:40) Limitless Play at No Vacancy Gallery - we love local artists!

(26:54) TWICE - we love women!

(37:22) A discussion on K-pop generations - we love the vibes of 3rd gen!

(46:08) What is poppin' in Asia - we love when Asian songs go viral!
