Solely music-related post.
One, I can’t thank Javabeans enough for this post on Yi Sung Yol, its like a gift for us information-starved fans. http://www.dramabeans.com/2008/06/profilegiveaway-2-yi-sung-yol/
It has so much information on his music, his background with UMe&Blue, his personal journey and insight into his own music, and is just a fantastic read. Best of all, she translated [...]

This has TOTALLY made my day. Maybe my week. Its been a while since I did a search for 이승열/Lee Seung Yeol (I was in the habit of googling him often in search of new info earlier). Today, seeing the hits for my post on him (here), I thought I’d give it a shot. And I [...]

Its been a rough couple days (weeks? months?) and I know they’re not going to get any easier . Time has literally flown, and I’m not the only person who’s said that. This year has passed like a couple weeks…I’m seriously beginning to wonder if there isn’t a strange phenomenon….global speeding up or something? [...]

I was amazed that I’ve yet to write a post on Lee Seung Yeol (also romanized, Yi Sung Yol, the Lee in Korean is pronounced as “ee,” there is no L in the hangul form: 이), an amazing musician, one of my favorites, whose voice had me spell-bound from the first time I stumbled upon [...]

As I often do, especially each time I come to this blog (see quote under title), I was thinking about one of my favorite songs: Slipping through your fingers, by the British-Indo band Trickbaby. In America, Trickbaby has probably not been heard of (a big loss, in my opinion, and drives me crazy because I [...]

So I am sufficiently satisfied with my PS right now (emphasis on sufficiently, I could never, ever be completely satisfied in a billion years), to take it a little easy on myself (emphasis on little, the 31st is too close). Easy as in I thought I’d hover on to my blog and write something nice [...]

I really love this artist–considered to be one of the most influential and best female rappers in Korea (I say arguably in the world, how many talented female rappers in any music industry can one name?). Her voice is amazing in both R&B and in hip-hop…it takes a completely different form each time. Its strong and [...]

So its Friday! Thank the Lord for the end of a very long, very hard week. This weekend will fly by like every freaking weekend, but I’m so grateful for the 4 hour nap today (i have been constantly cold and shivering for like 3 days now, and i think its the tiredness. Finally warm [...]

Tablo, lead rapper of Epik High.
Here’s a guy who followed his dreams and made it happen….its inspiring enough, and consider how brave he was to leave Stanford and struggle for years. He never knew if it would work out or not, and all odds were against him, but he kept trying and trying and trying. And [...]

Break Away….
No I can’t wait….
I’ll let you go comfortably
I’ll make my way
I’ll throw my pain
I can live without you now.
Break Away….
Powerful singing. Four beautiful women. Amazing voices.
Another reason to pick up that Hangul.
