Teenage Dream

I want that boy. Such a sexy video clip. The lyrics are youthful and whimsical too. Sigh.

Digital Bounce

New single from Seven feat. TOP. And I quote Seoulbeats "GOD DAMN!". TOP and Seven!! How effing hot is that?!!

Eminem seduces me

It's not the most serious, deep and clever lyrics on the album. But DAMN. I feel like I want to strip and do naughty things when I hear this! @_@ Especially when he says "Aaaw fuuck~" at the end. Smexy.

Buy the album!

Sooo, who else has been wetting themselves over Eminem's new album? Cos it's good stuff. Like really good stuff. You know I've already ordered a copy of it (no way am I gonna buy the censored one here) and you guys should too because I haven't been excited about an album like this in a long long time. My love for this man right now is bordering on psychotic.

This isn't on the album. Supposed to be a freestyle. Not sure. But it's awesome.

Rihanna - Wait your turn

How effing fantastic is this song? I'm not sure if this came out before or after Russian Roulette. But I like the direction that she's going music wise.

Taeyang - Where U At

Boy should just change his name to "Smooooooth like chocolate" @_@

I die.

I want.

His last CD is still playing in my car.

Urgh.

MTV Live World Stage

Daesung was in an accident!!!

OMG!!! I just found out!!

Check this out if you guys wanna know more --> Daesung in Car Accident. Poor poor thing. I hope he gets better. Big Bang is nothing without his super fine vocals. Dammit. Cars are dangerous! Bikes are dangerous! Roads are dangerous!

G-dragon's solo album

You guys all know how much I love this boy ^^

He's coming out with his solo album come August 16th (which is incidentally his birthday too) and I have been waiting since last year ever since rumours were flying in the Kpop world about it. Finally!!!!!!!

You can hear previews of his song on Youtube or his Me2day account (a Korean version of Twitter) and OMG!!! I love the song "The Leaders (Wussup)" Its a collabo between him, Teddy from 1TYM (another person I would love to procreate with) and CL (only if I was gay Xp). The song is effing sick!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I'm super excited!! CL, GD, and Teddy together!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaah!!!

2NE1 <3!

Just when I wanted to spazz about 2NE1's cover of Big Bang's "Last Farewell" and how I am absolutely in love with CL, their international fan forum went down. Haish. Probably cos everyone's trying to log in and spazz at the same time >_<

Drunken Tiger - Monster

Korean hip hop at its best. Drunken Tiger performing their new single "Monster" at Yoo Hee-Yeol's Sketchbook. Tiger JK is effing hot and I love the fact that Yoon Do Hyun (YDH) is there!!! They make a great team. Must find that old vid of him doing the sexy back with Tasha....hmmmm ^_^

Rant on Music Purists: Korean v American Music

I don't normally rant that often. Well, not here anyway. I find more satisfaction speaking my thoughts out and including swear words whenever I rant. But today I've decided to make an exception.

I basically get annoyed at purists and their holier-than-thou attitude when talking about music. It seems that unless a certain genre is done a certain way, then anything else besides that is a simply unacceptable and lame. I seem to come across it more often than not whenever I read comments on music websites *sigh* Why can't we agree to disagree that there is more than one specific genre of music out there and it CAN be mixed or varied or changed depending on the taste of the artist or the audience?

Example in case would be Big Bang and their concept of hip-hop/pop/techno/whatever you wish to categorize them and how it differs from that of the American/English music scene.

It annoys me to a certain extent when people randomly point out that 50 cent is thug and Big Bang is not. Cos yes, they are not 50 cent/Lil Wayne/insert name of any American rapper here. They didn't get shot a gazillion times in their body. They didn't live on the streets. There was no history of discrimination. They don't carry guns and they are not scared that they might get shot by a passing car (I'm aware that I'm generalizing here) So how do you expect them to behave and act the way their American counterparts act?

If purists can't stand the music, don't listen to it. Change the channel. There are a gazillion artists out there. If you can compare them and critic them saying that isn't the way their supposed to act/sing, then you can go find and artist who fits your taste and your needs. Support them and buy their album. Show them that you like their music and that there is a market for them (But I swear, once some of these artists get famous, these purists would turn their backs on the artist they like and label them as sell outs just cos they're now being liked by the masses...*sigh* they can never be pleased) I mean, constructive criticism is good if its focused on the artists themselves and their music. Bad lyrics are bad in whatever language it is. Lame beats are lame in whatever genre it is. Say it and end it there. Don't act all high and mighty saying that the way they act/sing/compose/write is wrong and not "true" hip hop.

My take on it is that it isn't really fair to compare them (or any other korean or foriegn rappers/hip hop acts) with English/American rappers. The similarities are there but the music industry, the history, the society, the language, the culture, their influences and their experiences are vastly different from the English/American side. You can’t expect them to be gangsters/thugs/street/whatever exactly the way the English/Americans are when the concept itself doesn’t even have its roots in Korean culture or society. I'm sure 50 cent would rather shoot himself than bow to Kanye West and call him "Sunbaenim" (an honourific given by younger Koreans to those who are senior then them in the same business) or vice versa whilst Big Bang would probably be the first to bow and do that whenever they meet any senior artist regardless of who it was in the Korean music industry. Hip hop in Korean is basically a borrowed/transplanted concept and can be changed, varied and butchered however much they want it to be to suit theirs/audience/society’s taste.

Phew. That was a long one. Constructive comments/opinions would be appreciated.

Tae Yang [Hot - Solo Concert] - My Girl

Oh.

My.

God.

I want to be floor dammit!!!!!! I WANT TO BE THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good lord. Have mercy on me. Starting from 3:02, I lost all ability to think.

No wonder the concert was for those 18 and above *fans herself*

I'm sorry TOP, but until you remove your shirt and proceed with the EPIC performance that was Taeyang just now, you've just been demoted to the second person in line I wish to procreate with.

Edit: He even had the cheek to ask the audience whether they were happy to be there after seeing that! Honey, I could have been robbed and murdered after seeing that and I'd still die with a smile on my face.

Future Liger - Let's Dance

This is pretty epic. Yoo Jae Suk (MC Yoo) has got to be one of my favorite Korean comedians/entertainers ever! I really love this song eventhough its just a parody and they only did it for fun for Infinity Challenge (a Korean variety show which is effing hilarious. The guys of Infinity Challenge usually parody songs/music videos. I nearly died and laughed myself stupid when they parodied Big Bang's "Lies" and "Haru Haru" video).

Anyways, in the latest episode, the guys had to compose a song for a competition in which whoever wins gets to perform it on Music Core. So everybody started calling whoever they knew in the music world. And they called out some pretty major talents like No Brain, E-tribe, Epik High and even Yoon Do Hyun (whom I effing love!). You can YT all the other members performance but the best so far was Yoo Jae Suk's collabo. He called up Korean Hip Hop royalty couple Tiger JK (part of the Korean rap/hip hop group Drunken Tiger) and also his wife T (Yoon Mi Rae) and thus Future Liger was born. I swear, Yoo Jae Suk has some really dope friends. I mean the man is tight with Big Bang, Hyori and now apparently Tiger JK

Note: Yes, I do realize the fact that random American phrases/slang which I would never use in my normal everyday conversations come out whenever I describe certain types of music/artists. I can't help it. Blame the influence of modern American pop culture and the internet I say for the bastardization of my English.

Anyhoo, check out the performance they did for the competion

The music video (they parodied Big Bang and 2NE1's "Lollipop" MV plus YG Family's "Fly Gentleman") Effing hilarious! MC Yoo is such a gangsta wannabe Xp I even found myself doing the brush-the-dirt-off-your-shoulders dance they did >_<

AND the Music Core performance (cos they won the competition ^^)

Ooooh and did anyone notice that Tiger JK is looking mighty fine these days. (The guy wearing the white wifebeater with shaggy hair and sexy voice. Yes, I am attracted to that sort of look too) *drools* But seriously, you can't go wrong with anything that man writes/makes. His lyrical compositions are effing master pieces in their own right.

TOP of the world! ^^

Just when you guys thought I may have given up on Big Bang and gone off to the dark side of fangirlling over well, girl groups instead of boys.....Out comes Big Bang's with their new Japanese single Gara Gara Go. I'm not gonna post that single cos you can find it anywhere online but here is one of the tracks from the single. It's called "Top of the World" and urgh~ it's hella sexy. YG is killing me man. Spaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz~!

How the eff can Taeyang sound like smex in whatever language he sings in? XP

2NE1's new tracks!!!!!!

Teddy is on a roll here. Same as Kush. All the songs sound hella sexy. If you don't think "Let's Go Party" is effing hot, then you are effing mad. Can you guys spot the Masta Wu influence on this track? ^^ I can picture the (hot as fuck) YG men laying this track down in their studios @_@ Puddle of luuuusssssst~



This is "In the Club". Good lord, my girl crush on CL just grew to like epic proportions! ^^

RIP Michael Jackson

1958-2009

Me and my mum would always turn up the sound and groove to "Billie Jean" everytime it came out on the radio. He was one of the people whom you'd always thought would live forever. Death has always scared the hell out of me and when someone who is seemingly as invincible and larger than life as he was passes away so suddenly, your own mortality smacks you right in the face.

*sigh*

Michael Jackson,

You've had a career that only other artists could ever dream about. You broke down racial barriers within the Western world with your music and your dance and have influenced many many other artist to do what it is they do today. Though in the later years people have mocked you about your appearance and also your curious personal and private life, your contribution to what modern music is today will always be remembered by me and every music fan out there.

May you finally rest in peace.
