Jesus. 龜 otm. ELO is so awesome. And a K-pop ELO just sounds so amazing.
I'm at work, but I'll get around to listening to it some time today.

Nice relaxing belated Spring track, from Kim Yeon Woo and Kyung of Block B (who gets all the best features for some reason):

I really love that video, a bit iffy on the song itself. Park Kyung is underrated though - Zico gets all the attention but I've always liked Kyung's more laidback style.
― Roz, Friday, 30 May 2014 21:23 (ten years ago) link
I like Kim Yeon Woo's tone and my standards for Spring tracks are low to begin with, lol. But it does start off stronger than it finishes.

If there's one thing you can't accuse Breath of, it's not sounding like a ZE:A single. They really have a recognizable sound.

TOPP DOGG all over the place as usual, but this single is actually, relatively, more cohesive:

Mini is a MESS but there's something there... maybe. 'Amadaeus' sounds like a 4minute song tho.

And then there's this unexpectedly good song from Cross Gene http://youtu.be/abcv7Ua1JrU
What's getting me is how much they're posing *exactly* like a girl-group would.

AKMU!!! They're known for their deeper-than-pop-generally-is lyrics so this fits right in. That kid is a really good actor too.
I'm kind of feeling the girl-group songs out right now, Tahiti 'Oops You're Mine' http://youtu.be/SK3q9C4lAmg (maybe I'm just relieved they're not all scary-thin anymore) and Bob Girls 'No Way' http://youtu.be/Ty8co3ttizQ (paging Osamu Tezuka, Osamu Tezuka come in).

The real news from the week, though, is that Taeyang's set designers deserve a raise:

@forapper, by the way, isn't it super late/early in Korea? What are you doing awake?
― ∞, Thursday, 12 June 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
I'm not in Korea, nor am I Korean, LOL. I live outside NYC!
I'll be in Hong Kong visiting friends in late June/early July, though, and I'm thinking of swinging by Korea or SE Asia... either Seoul or Singapore or MKuala Lumpur, I haven't decided yet.
I'm sorry ∞... Akdong Musician get a lot of coverage on other websites though. I like their OST song I Love You.

And oh, sorry. I didn't know why I thought you were Korean and lived there.

don't*
AKMU are a little too twee for me but yeah that's their best song, and the video's beautiful.
Taeyang's stages for "Eyes, Nose, Lips" are gorgeous, and he sounds good too. someone on omona said YGE overhauled their creative department this year which might explain why their recent releases have been on point + barely any delays! way to step up.

I love how Kpop companies assume you'll want to buy an album based on who composed the tracks and their degree of sophistication in genre-borrowing.

Anyone else following the drama with EXO and SNSD? Fans are approaching Changmin-in-a-spoon levels of detection... they figured out that EXO Baekhyun posted a photo of himself at Taeyeon's house based on the wallpaper, and that a picture Taeyeon posted of two oreos was a coded message to BH because his name means "white black" and the oreos were stacked the same way as the ones on his birthday cake. Apparently.

Haven't liked Beast's recent singles but this new one is pretty good. chorus keeps getting stuck in my head.

― Roz, Sunday, 22 June 2014 07:09 (ten years ago) link
gotta admit, I don't fully grasp what 'trot' music really is but I've really enjoyed the last two crayon pop singles and am curious. I've dug around and the history about how it evolved from enka is really interesting but I haven't found any modern examples that have really done it for me and that's more what I'm after (dance beats, keyboard presets, good stuff like that - basically looking for more songs that sound like "uh-ee").
a little help? recommended comps, mixes, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
