毎日grind, 毎日rhymes
AHHH MEMORIES. There’s a nice mixture of oldies (songs from the mid-90s!) and goodies here. Some of them I love because of the memory associated with it (“Symphony No. 7”, “Touch Love”), and others were just legitimately good ass songs (see: “beautiful”, “괜찮아 사랑이야”)… not to say they weren’t all great songs, though. I actually didn’t watch the drama “青春” came from but it came from a drama so it counts!
You can listen to the songs here. Songs will be up until Day 25.
Five little things I’ve been digging lately!
SHINee, “Dream Girl”
Talk about a cute and dreamy music video! I like everything about their concept. Nice hair? Check. Fun choreo? If getting fancy with the mic stand counts, check. Suits on suits on suits? Check, check, check!
For some reason I felt like blogging about the top 10 most listened to songs on my iPod/iTunes.
(more…)I’ve been consistently disappointed in Clazziquai‘s music after LOVE CHILD of the CENTURY, with the exception of songs like Flea and Rapunzel, but Ping is really refreshing and reflective of the Clazziquai that I love. Me gusta mucho!
I’m almost convinced that SHINee makes the music I wish TVXQ would make. I think this almost every time I listen to, let’s say, 내 곁에만 있어 (Best Place). When I actually listened to their album in full after my friend bought it for me and heard that song I was like, “woah”. There’s something very slick and modern about their music (even though most of it is sampled/a cover/not completely original). It’s cool. Even Super Junior has been getting cool music — perfect example would be Sorry Sorry. Not only was it 201838213x better than MIROTIC, the choreography was fucking fantastic. And then the songs from their repackage ♥ It’s like SM thinks TVXQ can get away with getting shitty music because they can outsing any group ever.
But back to SHINee; there hasn’t been a song of theirs that I haven’t liked. AMIGO was a little too loud for my tastes and Juliette was originally sung by Corbin Bleu, but for the most part — I really, really do like their music. And their latest song (title song, maybe?)… well, I think I’m going to love it.
Brown Eyed Girls’ new song Abracadabra is amazing. I don’t know what it is about the song, but I love it. I’ve had it on repeat for (LITERALLY) two days straight. The music video on the other hand … :o RISQUE! But I do like the sideways sway they all do during the main verse.
This is the first time I’m fully listening to them, outside of their performances on Inkigayo, & I really liked what I heard on Sound-G. I do have to say though, these girls have great voices and are capable of singing without being autotuned all over the place (ex: 못 가), but I still thought it was a pretty good album.
I didn’t really start liking 2NE1 until I watched their performance on SBS Inkigayo a couple weeks back. They’re fierce! I like that CL can actually rap well, and her English is great. Their outfits were a little on the outrageous side, though. I also worry about Sandara & her singing…
Their new song— I like it. It’s not as energetic as Fire, it’s not the greatest song, but I like it. I’d also like to know what YG Entertainment’s definition of reggae is. I believe this is the second time they’ve classified a song as having a reggae sound. It’s POP, guys.
