I was supposed to be due back here a few days ago or so but you know, real life stuff and the personal issues with them. Had a few posts drawn up but nothing was posted ultimately but there are a few updates at popculture-etc, including a really long pimp post on the newest coed group from Avex I stan, a-X's (pronounced as 'acros', katakana: アクロス) ( Read more... )

This is way, way, way overdue and I feel like I have a ton of posts like this to catch-up on/churn with the amount of music records/albums I devour on an almost daily basis. Okay, maybe every week or so? This week alone, I've already gone through Carly Rae Jepsen's Kiss record/album as I have fallen hopelessly, crazily, insanely (crazy and insane ( Read more... )

"Just not too much auto-tune." "They should tone down the auto-tune if they want to improve their music."Honestly? I'm sick of this cliched, tired and tried criticism on pop music, especially on the new ones out today.

It has to do with the dreaminess of their music video, their music among others. Everything about this is just so dreamy I ( Read more... )

"Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell..."

Now I just feel like dancing barefoot anywhere to music like this. I don't mind if it's on a beach, all the better, to be honest. Or somewhere else magical and normal like the middle of the road. I let my imagination run high when I listen to good music and I rarely ever go into western pop music unless they are ( Read more... )

....I'm actually more into what good pop/rock music has to offer, Western, Jpop and some OPM. And music since the half of the 2001-2010 decade has had a lot to offer recently.

At the moment, I'm spazzing. SPAZZING, all caps, at OneRepublic, what else? I'm easily predictable when it comes to my favorite USA-bred bands. So why am I spazzing? Let me ( Read more... )
