Glad i don’t know – Lemonheads I was shown this video recently of an Evan Dando solo show where he plays this song with Tom Morgan and Nic Dalton backing. It’s nice. For this Lemonheads fan who is prejudicially not a Lemonheads fan and therefore finds other ways to enjoy them, like crediting everything good [...]

Molitva

Molitva – Marija Šerifović This must have left some impact on me. It was the winning song from the 2007 Eurovision, which became the last i ever got to see through us losing our SBS reception and me somehow never being home Eurovision weekend. And i haven’t heard it since. This song was the Serbian [...]
Love Without Lies

Love without lies – Comet Gain The first Comet Gain song?! Yikes. This thing is really not at all indicative of what i listen to outside of it. Well i guess it is, but there are bands who haven’t shown up here that by all sound logic should have left some trace given the amount [...]
Andorra

Andorra – Sweet Baby The best thing about Sweet Baby, apart from the songs, is the way Dallas and Matt share lead vocal duties. The same melody line and lyrics sung with the same notes and the same urgency. It doesn’t always happen – Matt often settling into backing up, harmonising or yelping, and that [...]
Promise

Promise – A.N.JELL So the Douglas Sirk, Preston Sturges or [better example] (to twist a dream of auteurism to somewhere it doesn’t really exist) of dramas, or the Shadow Morton of K-pop. This is again from You’re Beautiful, done by the fictional band the show’s based around. They’re really popular in the show but i’ll [...]
As Ever

As ever – Lee Hong Ki I’m coming to a point in my life where i’m beginning to realise that i do have dreams regarding what i want to do with it and maybe for once i should pursue them, no matter how stupid and unattainable they are. A desperate point. I’m getting old and [...]
I Feel Love

I feel love – Donna Summer There is little more exhilarating than the quick-cutting archival footage of Giorgio Moroder swiveling in his studio chair to another piece of equipment, probably to do something really boring and pain-staking on it. I think i’d like to spend my life in a studio, but one with banks of [...]
To My Boyfriend

To my boyfriend – Fin.K.L The genesis. Not alone, and there was teen-directed pop music in Korea before this, but Fin.K.L and other groups like them born from a similar time and similar commercial urgency were really the first wave of K-pop. And it so evidently was. It’s so amazing to see now how ingrained [...]
Bad Girl Good Girl
Posted in Kpop, Miss A on January 23, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Bad girl good girl – Miss A I wish i could understand this behind the English parts. I have such hopes for it, it’s stance and message, but i worry that hope might betrayed by lyrics i can’t understand. It happens often. On the surface and to a non-Korean speaker such assertive and cool things [...]
I Remember Everything

I remember everything – Enjin How many bands are there in the world? Every time someone, somewhere picks up something and makes a song with it, and all the ears that never hear it. This is the only Enjin song i have heard, and for all i know the only that exists. It is one [...]
