I really liked OneRepublic’s Too Late to Apologize, overplayed though it was, and then wasn’t crazy about their next single… I can’t even remember what it was called, which should tell you something. This song though–good stuff. Mainly, I just like it when people use interesting vocabulary in their lyrics, and “apathy” is as good [...]
Apparently, so does Korea. SS501: Snow Prince Backstreet Boys: As Long As You Love Me
I figured I should probably take a moment to give mainstream music a nod at some point, so here we go. Perhaps somewhat predictably, I love Coldplay, especially their most recent album. I wasn’t a huge fan of Viva la Vida, but there are several other songs on the disc that I thought were brilliant. [...]
School of Seven Bells is apparently best classified as “dream-pop.” Although I’m not a huge fan of the genre—it’s a little too out there, even for me—I do like a few of the songs on this album. The band is made of up of Claudia and Alejandra Deheza, twin sisters from Brooklyn, of all places. [...]
Okay kids, here’s a treat for you! As many of you know, I’ve recently been obsessed with watching a variety of Korean dramas on YouTube*. In the process, I discovered a whole new group of music, and have been rummaging around the internet ever since, looking up various Korean artists and subsequently, some Japanese and [...]
Okay, so I admit… I mostly like this song because the guy’s voice comes through so definitely Scottish in a few places. Other than that though, at some point while I was listening to his cute accent, the song grew on me too. Very mellow, a little bit folksy. I made a brief foray into [...]
Regina Spektor is one of those artists that are just a little too quirky to be listenable (if that’s even a word) all the time, but who once in a while puts out something really great. Laughing With is one of those songs. Lyrically, I feel like it’s slightly profound. Give it a listen! Regina [...]
I’ve been intrigued by Patrick Park ever since I heard the song Something Pretty on The OC. That was a couple of years ago though, and I’m just now discovering this album. Although you could call his songs a little repetitive, the lyrics are quite interesting and there’s enough variation that the songs start to [...]
I often find instrumental music a little boring… maybe because I’m a fairly language oriented person. Anyway, every once in a while there will be a piece of music that strikes just the right balance with its various instruments to give you that feeling that your heart could swell right out of your chest. This [...]
I was really on a roll there for a little while, posting every day like a high powered corporate blogger bent on reaching the world regardless of whether she ate or slept or showered… okay, so I did shower. But then I started to feel sad. Why? Perhaps because I got no comments. :’( Today [...]
