KPOP JPOP CPOP ?POP
see, relaxer . . . just like that.
I actually referred to this thread when we had a going away party for a friend going to South Korea… Spent the better part of a afternoon down the kpop rabbit hole!
I was digging the 오마이걸 (OH MY GIRL) - PINK OCEAN (EP) the other day; very catchy.
killsaly, I love that album, it's a quality pick. I also love the cover of it. Perfect representation of KPOP
Last night I was listening to this and just loving it.

Last night I made a mix while messing around with Traktor that was 오마이걸(OH MY GIRL) versus Ital Tek versus Babymetal versus Moderat… I might post it later, I thought it was fun.
An interesting weekend for fellow connoisseurs of screaming Asian teenagers gyrating to technicolor beats. New albums by Perfume and Babymetal appeared to the delight of many including this guy (points to Sweetcell, who is completely taken by surprise and drops his bagel)
Perfume's Cosmic Explorer is already shaping up to be one of my records of the year. Producer/songwriter/mastermind Yasutaka Nakata just might be my favorite artist of the past few years. Between Perfume and Capsule, this guy makes techno-pop that I find incredibly appealing. I prefer Capsule's clean beats to Perfume's more vocal-centric music, but really, anything this guy does is gonna work with me.
Babymetal's Metal Resistance is a whole different animal. This is more like Atari Teenage Riot doing JPOP, more for fans of Andrew WK than, say, Pocket girls or Up Up girls. Whenever I listen to Babymetal, my first thought is its the greatest thing in the world but after a couple minutes, I'm usually thinking of what I'm going to listen to next.

man…that would make a great Vine material
Lol at the Atari Teenage Riot comparison…
Digging Laboum - Fresh Adventure
I tried that Laboum and found it too ballady and mid-tempo for me. I didn't think it was bad, just not enough to grab me. I like my beats to be bangin and my teenagers to be shrieking.
I thought 상상더하기 and 3 Strike Out had good beats. Caterpillar is a ballad of course, also not my thing, but I did like the two aforementioned tracks.

오마이걸(OH MY GIRL) - B612 Killsaly DJ mix (versus new tracks by Ital Tek, Babymetal, Moderat )
^ something I made the other day while bored
I am happy with it minus like a four second section around 1:16…
This is the reason I am getting JPOP and KPOP tracks, for DJ mixes, not for purely listening to them like I do a lot of other music.

Just bought tix to the Babymetal show at the Fillmore. I don't love the new album, but I suspect I'll be kicking myself in the dick if I miss this show.
relaxer is probably the promoter for this..but just incase he didn't know
I'm so bummed I missed that ^^^ but I just couldn't make it.
Meanwhile, I am LOVING this ep:
HyunA – A'wesome ep
HyunA was the *real* brains behind the tragically now-defunct 4Minute, but her fans can be comforted by the fact that this may be the best Asian pop release of the year.

My casual flirtation with Kpop is going full scale fanboy at the moment. I knew the line was crossed when I get excited a new Red Velvet mini album dropped today and yesterday i was looking at the social media for signs of a new blackpink release…
Oh, Kosmo, you'll be hoeing it up with random skanks a la Relaxer by the end of the month. . .
