I just stumbled onto this track digging through some charts from earlier in the year. It made a brief appearance on the charts in September, but to be honest I've never heard it out 'in the field', so to speak. Which surprises me becuase it's got a catchy chorus and the lead singer is... pretty fucking hot, to say the least.</div>jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-52498926155739467332011-11-27T22:54:00.000+09:002011-11-27T22:54:53.080+09:00Sistar - So Cool<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Pj3q0ZChgFE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

Easily the best song of this autumn. I'm pretty weirded out by the dance choreography, I don't really understand it.

Huge in Japan right now, making Japanese versions of all their songs. This is the K original.

<br />
Girls Generation, otherwise known as SNSD (because in Korean their name is pronounced seon-yeo-shi-dae), have released a catchy new track. The video somehow feels sterile compared with some of their finer achievements, like 'Gee'. And they definitely should have worked on an <i>elevated</i> bridge section, this one sounds sunken somehow, like a gray page behind the whole thing. Should have thrown some candy at it instead! <br />
<br />
Nevertheless the video is very big-budget in an electronic-displays-are-everywhere kinda way, as is the trend in Korea right now, something I'm rather enjoying. Still, I'm a bit meh about the lack of sci-fi oriented videos... disappoint. <br />
<br />
Enjoy the song!jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-26608337598670228452011-04-25T00:39:00.000+09:002011-04-25T00:39:10.718+09:00Orange Caramel - Bangkok City<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NgrVdLAJstg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

Another winning! moment from those Nordic songwriters. They know their shit those pale motherfuckers. Another track getting heavy play in the clubs.jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-66756181299469167102011-04-25T00:28:00.001+09:002011-04-25T00:28:37.862+09:00KARA - Jet Coaster Love<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xnXwpbQCMqA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
Guess what!? Kara didn't break up! After they tried to terminate contract with their management company, some Japanese companies eagerly stepped in to offer them a better deal. Being shit scared of all this, their management gave them lots of money and reconciled their differences. Also the law suit lost steam after two of the girls realised they had no idea what the suit was about in the first place and simply gave it up.<br />
<br />
It's all good in the hood. Because this track is hot off the press.jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-29061281420861514772011-04-25T00:20:00.001+09:002011-11-27T22:28:34.498+09:00Dal Shabet - Pink Rocket<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S4vxIWGunJE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
Like particle physics, the way they choose to name some of these groups is something quite beyond me. Nevertheless this is the groups first decent song. Don't know what a pink rocket is, suppose I could hazard a guess, but I'm not a vulgar man so I won't.<br />
<br />
No Swedish songwriters here. I don't know why these groups still insist on the obligatory rap break down. I don't understand this trend, it's been around kpop since the 90's! Don't know why they can't see how uncool and dated it sounds.jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-68576789679879166472011-04-25T00:11:00.001+09:002011-04-25T00:54:26.864+09:004Minute - Mirror Mirror<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1fOG_wcV_oU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

They must have these Swedish songwriters working in shifts. You can hear the Euro dance coming through strongly on this one. This has been coming up in the clubs here too.

And now a classic hit from 2009. Where we realise the characteristic theme of the works of Girls Generation is not melodic-narrative discourse as such, but postnarrative lyric neodiscourse. Thus, a number of deconstructions concerning the role of the writer as artist may be discovered. The subject is contextualised into a material nihilism that includes truth as a totality.jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-62256688435341799122011-01-21T02:05:00.000+09:002011-01-21T02:05:01.541+09:004Minute - I My Me Mine<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OGvwy3qhjDM" title="YouTube video player" type="text/html" width="640"></iframe><br />

In true Korean fashion this really great song is also an advertisement for a really shitty beer. Of all the things I miss in the real world that I wish upon my life in Korea, beer and wild animals definitely top the list. But beer is really important and I'm glad that the production team behind this music video have realised that. <br />
<br />
Beer can also lead to romance, which is something they have aptly described here. Obviously under normal circumstances you wake up with a deep sense of regret and self loathing over what you have slept with. But sometimes beer does lead to a more prolonged sense of happiness as in this music video.jiddy-phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11357432741243477359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165230689447300996.post-14900279998410187172011-01-21T00:41:00.001+09:002011-01-21T00:57:05.163+09:00T-ARA - Yayaya<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ty4g27YHZ-Q" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe><br />

What's always great is a music video with a story line, mainly because they convey a sense of narrative which is an enjoyable element. I particularly enjoyed the acting talents of all the ladies involved in this video. Sterling performances all round! A round of applause!

I hope you guys like it. I really struggled to decide on a banner after I made about 5 variations, I wanted something pornographic, yet classy, kind of like buying sex lingerie on a high street. Anyways, I think I'm going to be rolling a bunch of banners quite frequently.<br />
