My girlfriend got tagged to sub on a program called Radiozilla on WCBN tomorrow. Radiozilla is all about Asian pop/rock/etc. (anything aside from "traditional" Asian music, though they tend to stay on the poppier side).
We've done this a couple times before, so we've pretty much played everything from the station's collection (which is pretty thin), and most of the stuff from our own collections. I'm hoping that the great ILMers can toss in a bit of variety for the set.
Some things that we already have:
Cambodia Rocks comp
Roadie Music from Vietnam comp
Nicotine Princess comp
Guitar Wolf
Voodoo Boots
5678s
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant
Boredoms Super Ae
" Super 8
The Ruins
KK Null
Cornelius
DJ Sushi
The stuff at the station tends toward Jpop (like, anime soundtracks and Yoko Kano), and that's not really my bag (she likes it more than I do, but doesn't know a tremendous amount about it either), but if there's something specifically good to look for, I will. I tend to like the more garage rock sort of stuff (but she doesn't like playing too much of it).
Again, any help to kinda break us out of the rut would be nice, and YSIs are especially appreciated (I'll even try to give an on-air aknowledgement).

OK this is a band from my hometown in Malaysia called "OAG", they're pretty big back home and known for being the first commercially successful band to perform completely in English.
They sing in both English and Malay now and they play some lovely guitar pop. I'm not too good at describing music but if I had to name a Western contemporary, I guess it would probably be Ash.
YSI-ing their first hit from 1996: OAG - "60's TV"
