[Sound of the Week] Sungha Jung


I really love Sungha Jung and have for quite some time. He always plays so beautifully and I'm so incredible amazed by him. And he have most definitely brought it to life, yet again. This time he plays Big Bang - Blue, and it is breathtaking. 
I actually found him trough his youtube account, when searching for Super Mario sounds. He plays some awesome Super Mario theme with his ukulele. I wish I could play guitar just half as good as him.

Sungha Jung is born 1996 and he is probably a prodigy child. It takes him three days, to learn and practice a new piece. His youtube video "Pirates of the Caribbean theme" have about 28,405,644 views, and he have become pretty popular through the Internet. He have also released two albums so far, "perfect blue" in 2010 and "Irony" in 2011. And as far as I know, he's a Big Bang fan. (That, we like)

[News] Big Bang - Alive mini album


I can imagine that it's not just me, sitting like a freaking fangirl-mongo right now. Big Bang released their new mini album "Alive", and they are surely bringing it to live. From the intro to the last song, it is just more then expected. It is most definitely different from before. Which I see as something really good. I've always loved Big Bang, right from the start. But in the music business you have to evolve, and they really do. I am as always impressed by G.D who wrote the music, yet again. He is and always will be one of my biggest inspirations and I will always look up to him. 
The comeback can not be better, can it!? I'm mighty pleased and impressed.

The album consists of seven songs;
1. Intro (Alive)
2. Blue
3. 사랑먼지 (Love Dust)
4. Bad Boy
5. 재미없어 (Ain't no Fun)
6. Fantastic baby
7. 날개 (Wings) Daesung Solo

My favorites so far is "Blue", "Love Dust" and "Fantastic baby". But truthfully, I love everyone of them. They bring something different, in every song. Daesung's solo is also great and beautiful. And I would really love if they did a complete song, of their intro sound. Damn, that intro is amazing. 
It's a lot of electro sounds in "Fantastic baby" and a very special feeling with it. The 'Bom shakalaka' in "Fantastic baby" is pretty funny too. And I love T.O.P's dark voice in all of the songs, especially in "Bad boy".
It's more of an electro and hip hop sound to it all - just like Taeyang said in an interview. It is not as much rap in this album, as it usually is. And I both like and dislike that. I miss a part with T.O.P rapping... but I will survive with his amazing voice, like this too. And maybe 'fantastic baby' involve some rap in some way thou. All in all - this album is amazing. They really did a powerful comeback. And I really hope they will be able to keep it up now.
Big Bang, Hwaiting! 

[News] Big Bang - Bad Boy


Another MV is out, from Big Bang's new album "Alive". And I will most definitely talk a lot (nag) about Big Bang for a while. Who wouldn't when they finally do a comeback. 
Between "Blue" and "Bad Boy", I'll have to say that I like "Blue" a lot more... But needles to say, I look forward to their album like crazy. It is really something special and I think... No, I know that their whole album is more then great! (I absolutely adore "Love Dust")

I like the "Bad Boy" music video a lot. Thou, why do G.D have that fake fringe... Well, anyways, everyone looks great in this video as well. It looks a bit cold thou. And the dance-moves are just in perfect amount. And the way they film it is beautiful. A bit like "Love song", when they just pop up on the screen. A very soothing feeling indeed.

[Video of the Week] John Park - Falling

☆ Video of the Week!

John Park, born in Chicago 1988. Became the semi finalist in American Idol, in the ninth season. And later, he also finished second in the Korean "Superstar K2". Now, he have released his new mini album "Knock". Which includes five songs, and one of them being "falling". I love this MV, it have a lot of symbolism into it. And it is truly beautiful. And John Park really brings it to the fullest.

KBS Music Bank in Paris (After - fanvideos)


So, I'm a bit late with this. But I had a lot on my plate when I got home from Paris. A lot of school to catch up on and a boyfriend to see. I had missed out a lot on both. *hehe*
Well, how was it? It was amazing, great, awesome, and I will most definitely do it again. But with some changes on the hostel matter, and the time for the flight back home. Paris in the winter, is not really for me. It's a lot more pleasant in the summer. And the hostel, that we got to share with to guys for two nights, wasn't that nice either. 
But the gain was that I was with Teri the whole time. We made that filthy room a castle with our royal farts. And laughed our asses of with our weird jokes. We survived it fairly well, cause we have each other. 

First day - We saw Music Bank kpop festival of course! And here are some videos I manage to get. I mostly watched it for myself, instead of recording. Teri and I was right next to the scene. So we actually saw everyone for real. Even though, it felt really surreal.

And thats all I got. Not much, but the experience and the feeling of being there is enough. I have my memories with both seeing a lot of my favorites, and also being with great friends through this happening. SHINee was at the Eiffel tower, when we where about 500 meters away. The food was great, I ate toad and chicken feet in Chinatown. I drank Bubble-tea there as well. I ate Italian food and bought ear cushions on some market outside. I drank wine and cocktails. We saw half of Paris and we played games all night. I had a really great time with the people I went with. Lets do more together, in the future. And hopefully it will be warmer by then. Otherwise we will keep each other warm.

Sound of the Week!

Guess who's back, back again, Big Bang is back, tell a friend!
And I couldn't be happier! The song is amazing as well. And I have been listening to it on repeat, this entire day. It's a "sad" song, but I'm getting a warm and cozy feeling from it. I'm feeling cheerful. And I'm probably gonna listen to it as much, as I did with "Love song" - until I get really tired of it. Which I rarely get with Big Bang, so no... probably not going to get tired of it anyways. 

And the MV... wow! It's beautiful as well as artistic. I love everyones new hairstyles, I really like Daesung in his blonde hair. And its also nice to see Seungri in something else. And well, T.O.P looks good in anything, and as always - I want G.D's clothes. I'm getting emotional to see everyone of them in line.

KBS Music Bank in Paris (Soon to be there)



Part.4 
So, through all the problems and all the worry - it is finally here. Today I am packing all the last things and making everything fit for fight... or fit for flight. We have been looking forward to this for ages and now, the day is soon here. 

I'm going to bed really early, to get a few hours of sleep before. And then I have to jump out of bed in the middle of the night (tonight). We are going by car, and picking up three of my friends. Then we will be listening to Korean music to boost ourselves in the car, and eat a lot of cookies. When we reach the airport, there will be two more of our friends there. And we will be hyper from all the sugar and thrill. And then we will flyyyyyy to France. 
After that, we have to find the bus which will take us into town. And then it's all the different metro's to reach the hostel. And on the hostel we will throw our bags into some room, and wait for two more friends who's getting there by another airplane. Then it's time to fix ourselves to the best, and head towards the MUSIC BANK K-POP CONCERT! And standing in line for hours and freeze our asses of. But thats all worth it. 
Hopefully I will have a lot of pictures afterwards.Though I have no own camera, I have to rely on my friends cameras and my phone. But I will surely update my blog about it, afterwards.
After music bank, we will have a lot of vacation days as well. It's not only music bank, it is Paris. And we will eat everything we can, and see everything we want. And just be... I wont be thinking about anything other then being there. Everything else will just be, until I get home again. It will be great to see my dream idols, but also to be with my friends.

Well, two hours until I have to sleep. *Ha!* I wont be able to succeed in getting any sleep, probably. 
(I will fall asleep on the airplane or in the line, on top of my friends)
Everyone who's going there - See you!

.It will be one of the best experiences in my life.
