Currently Listening: Duffy [Well, Well, Well]

Posted by Becky under Pop, Retro

Duffy is one of many artists that I heard of, looked up and pretty quickly dismissed as repetitive and kind of annoying. However, like many of those artists, I’ve grown to appreciate some of her stuff lately, so I thought I’d share. Duffy’s 2009 album, Rockferry, is the one I listened to and decided I [...]

Currently Listening: Tina Arena [Si Tu Veux Mon Coeur]

Posted by Becky under Euro, Pop

Naomi was trying to get me to listen to this song for a while, but I was all busy and didn’t get around to it… until finally, I did, and now I’ve composed whole ballets (practically whole festivals) around this one song, featuring myself as the primary dancer in the one of the most moving [...]

Currently Listening: Charmaine [Tokyo]

Posted by Becky under Christian, Pop

Hat tip to Deborah for this one… I actually wanted to post a song off this album [Love Reality] called Fighting Furies, but YouTube was having none of that. So you get Tokyo, also a great song from Charmaine. Charmaine is apparently a Christian artist, although I haven’t noticed a particular bent in that direction [...]

Currently Listening: Big Bang [Tell Me Goodbye]

Posted by Becky under K-Pop

Let me just preface this by saying that I’ve actually been branching away from my love affair with k-pop to explore other music like latin pop and bollywood… yeah, I know, nothing normal. Anyway, despite the fact that I’ve been meaning to post a bollywood playlist for a couple days now, this video came out [...]

Currently Listening: Ich+Ich [Pflaster]

Posted by Becky under Euro, Pop

Deborah first heard about Ich und Ich while a plane I believe… she’s another one of those people who tends to make friends with random strangers on planes–so much so that they’re happy to share their iPod with her. Anyway, the main song of Ich+Ich‘s that’s frequently on repeat at our house is called Dienen, [...]

Owl City – Ocean Eyes [2009]

Posted by Becky under Christian, Electronica, Pop

Owl City is a (band? group? guy named Adam?) that has been sweeping both my immediate and extended family over the last little while, and I love the music! The style could be considered something like electronic experimental pop… It’s peppy, anyway, and pretty interesting lyrically. Read more to listen to the whole album!

Would you be offended if told you this video reminded me of you? I actually really like it… I think the song is good and the video quite creative. I dunno. Lenka – “Trouble is a Friend”

Big Bang has Fans

Posted by Becky under K-Pop

Here’s something crazy–see that picture? ^ Almost every person that finds my blog randomly has come here because of clicking on it in google images. I am not joking. It’s not even the best picture of them. … for example, they could have chosen something like THIS hilarious awesomeness: I just… love this. How awesome [...]

Clazziquai Project – Mucho Punk [2009]

Posted by Becky under K-Pop

The Clazziquai Project is a group that I found somewhere in the course of my Korean adventures. I like them. They’re a little bit lounge, a little bit electronic/pop, and little bit Korean inexplicability. Interestingly enough, the original group was made up of three members, two of whom were siblings from Canada–Alex and Christina Chu. [...]

Currently Listening: SHINee [Ring Ding Dong]

Posted by Becky under K-Pop

One of the things I find so fascinating/hilarious about K-Pop is the unabashed fruitiness of so many of its members. It makes me wonder whether they themselves really want to dress/do their hair that way, or if that’s something put on them by an overzealous management company. SHINee is a group that I generally avoid, [...]
