Korean Music
I just found all my Korean cd's yesterday and took them to work with me. They are so absurd. The thing is that they remind of a really cool time in my life. I've been thinking a lot lately of going back and not just to Korea or but to Thailand, China, Japan and just staying away. I'm not saying it will happen. But it's interesting to think about. The main reason I wouldn't go is because I would just be living a weird pagan evil life while there. I would really be growing or anything - I'd just be escaping. But, it's fun to think about. I think about it like a child thinks about spending his each and everyday at Disney World. That's what it's like to me. Sooner or later though - your teeth will rot out and Space Mountain will look more like a prison shuttle than a joy ride.
Anyway this
Korean Music is fuckin hilarious. They have this band called G.O.D. and they came out with this song called "Champion". And the Korean word for "my" is "Neega". So the line - which they say is - "Champion insa kee neega" - which to me when I was there always sounded like "Champion and Kill a Nigga" - anyway - it's strange like that that makes shit hilarious. That and the English in the middle of the song - like it'll be all Korean soft and slow pop music with hip hop beats and then some guy will come on and say shit like "You know it girl" or "Yeah we be best" or "You know it riiiiiight". It's fuckin hilarious.
"Uhh yeah. Do you feel me. My body. My heart. My soul goes out to you." Oh it's funny...I forget how many times i would be in a club and would just bend over listening to this awful shit.
This is Baby Vox, your standard Korean Girl group. Once they run older than looking 16 they will be thrown to the curb like a hot bag of dog soup. That's why they turn out 5 albums a year and flood the market.
This band is "Happy Together" yeah - imaginative I know. Notice the wind swept hair and how they take after American pop bands. They have the good guy, the sweet one, the little one, the bad one, and the silent big one. It's hilarious.
This is BOA - I actually saw her in concert in Korea. It was hilarious to say the least. There were balloons everywhere and little Korean girls climbing out of wall sockets going insane. I fell asleep after a while.
I actually own a CD by Bulldog Mansion (shown above). They don't really ever siong and just play jazz shit so I was like - you know I'll listen to this. It's not too bad.
This is my girl. I love Jaurim. I don't mean love but out of Korean music this is the only real thing I found. She makes fun of shit and hates America and money. She is about as punk as any sellout can be but hell - I'll take it.
