It has been too long, hasn’t it? I am scurrying around to finish some last minute Christmas gifts, but I want to get back to posting soon. Things are doing slightly better…although I did get in trouble with my doctor this go round. Oops. Because this is an annual tradition, let’s get ready to kick off the countdown to Christmas

Song of the week didn’t sound quite right today. The songs I’ve selected to feature just really reflect my current moods and what’s going on in life. That’s one of the great things about music, isn’t? First up is Korean band Toxic’s official debut song “Lonely”. The holiday season is encroaching on us already. This week is Thanksgiving in the

Yay! It seems like it’s been ages since Korean rock duo Toxic has done anything new. That isn’t really true as they have been, like many other Korean rock bands, actively participating in OSTs from Korean dramas, but it’s rare for artists to actually promote those tracks, you know? So I’m happy Toxic is back and “Deja Vu” is classic

Today is a gray day full of rain and fall really is in the air with a nice temperature drop of 40 degrees within the span of a single week. We hit the 80s last week only to come crashing down into nearly the 30s at night and staying in the 50s during the day. So, to get your blood

Toxic. A Korean band that I have been in love with since their major debut. After falling in love with their debut song “Lonely” and falling in love with their entire mini album First Bridge, I marathoned the first season of KBS’s Top Band. I have also bought all their digital releases to date (excluding OST contributions, I might not

Daebak. I admit that I have not heard of lips-bite [입술을깨물다] a band from South Korea that officially came together as a band in 2010 and released their first album in 2011 before. So how did I discover this? I was on SoundCloud listening to The Alphards’ 4 song demo again and after the songs cycled through, different music started

It’s Wednesday, so that means another post in NeeNee’s “The Forgotten” series. I really like doing this series. I’m not sure if anyone actually reads these posts or understands just why I do them, but it’s unlikely (for the time being) that I’ll stop them until I run out of rediscoveries of albums and artists. Also, rather unfortunately, most people

Thanks to 에덴홀 I am finding lots of great and new music to listen to and fall in love with. I found the awesome band Activity and this time it is garage band The Alphards (알파즈). I am not much of a social person…or a club/bar person, but I really think it would be cool to visit Hongdae and the

So…I’ve decided to do these posts. What does it mean? Just what it says. The forgotten. In this case I can embarrassedly admit to completely forgetting I have ever purchased an album. Then when iTunes or my iPod’s random shuffle feature hits on a certain song, I’m looking to see immediately just who the artist is and just what the

Thanks to discovering Bar Eden Hall’s YouTube channel where videos of Korean indie artists playing live are posted, I discovered this awesome Korean band called 엑티비티 (Activity)! It was a love at first listen…to a LIVE video. Half the time live videos aren’t the most stellar, mainly just because the video and sound quality are generally low, but these are
