Saxophones will always be ... Read More »

‘Music Core‘ had a special episode for their 400th broadcast, and it was full of special stages, which meant it shit on all the year-end programs, IMO.

It’s hard to think up any music fandom with an insecurity complex bigger than any given K-pop fandom. People who are into K-pop (regardless of which group is their fave) can’t just seem to say, “I like this bubblegum shit, because it sounds good to me, and that’s that, and if you don’t like it fuck you!” No, they have ...

While I figured the concept of 2NE1‘s “Come Back Home” music video was relatively simple to understand, apparently the rumor that a bunch of people had no fucking idea what it was about was true enough that YG actually felt the need to clarify.

Crayon Pop is coming back in April with a full album, and everybody is looking forward to what their new concept will be.
