Visited the pop!gasa K-pop translation site and unearthed these gems:

SeeU the Vocaloid, in "I=Fantasy," speaking on behalf of centaurs, unicorns, animated characters, Elizabeth Bennets, Te'o girlfriends, Margaret Berger robots, and holograms the world round:

Those idiots don't know anything ( Read more... )

I posted this over on poptimists, where meserach was asking if any blogs focused on pop lyrics:

Girls Aloud would be interesting to explore because, even though I sometimes like them quite a lot (made my P&J ballot last year with a song that most Brit critics didn't seem to like), I'm sure I don't get them. There seems to be a Brit tendency to simply declare ( Read more... )

Song titles and other obvious spoilers are replaced with characters on TV detective shows. Hints are in italics. I predict the first to be guessed will be 12, 7, 5, 20, 3, and 4, in that order, unless Lex shows up early, in which ( Read more... )

OK, for my record third post in one day, here's a stream of the new Ashlee Simpson single, "Little Miss Obsessive."I love it, love the singing (very warm, reminds me of "Fall In Love With Me"), a slow lead melody but a lot of movement and crosscurrents from the percussion, so an r&b feel on a pop-rock song, and I also love the way the words follow ( Read more... )

Reveals and ratings, the ratings for the lyrics as opening lines, not for the songs. Asterisks when line isn't the first, but rather is the first not to contain the title ( Read more... )

First lines shuffled on MP3 playa (or first non-title-quoting lines, where this is the case I has used an ASTERICKS) - artist/title pls!
