Music Highlights 11.23.20
I realized that a once monthly music highlights post wasn’t going to cut it and wanted to also share some news, so let’s dive deeper into the music that’s come out in the past week.
Read MoreMusic Highlights + November Releases
I figured just like my monthly drama posts where I talk about what I watched and what I am looking forward to, I would do a separate one for music. I have several places where I talk about some of the music that I’m into at the moment, but a dedicated post seems fitting.
Read MoreKPOP Haunted House/Scare Pranks
If you don’t follow kpop, or you don’t follow it past listening to the music you are missing out on some prime content. One of those things is the scare pranks. I like these over the other “hidden video” pranks that are a thing in kpop entertainment. They tend to just be nicer cause it’s usually the members just hyping themselves up because of the unknown, as opposed to being blindsided with a real-life issue. They scream, they get over it, no real tears shed. So here’s a list of some of my favorites.
Read MoreSpooky Japanese MVs
Welcome to the start of the spooky Music Mondays for the month! Before we get to the list, I need to make some disclaimers. This inherently was hard to pick because I wanted the horror/spooky/eerie aspects to be coming from the music video visuals, as opposed to just the music. Because of this, I was very limited in the actual options that I could find. Just enjoy this list in its sometimes really terrible quality, ok? It’s hard being an International fan sometimes.
Read MoreGoodbye Summer
Summer officially ends tomorrow and while that means we get into the part of the year that I really love, I figured that I would leave you with one last summer playlist to end out the season. Here’s to all the things we wanted to do this summer but couldn’t cause of the state of the world.
Maybe things will be better next year, and we’ll able to use this playlist in the places it should be playing:

Tasting Notes: Tricot
I haven’t done one of these small spotlights on a Japanese group yet, so I figured it was finally time. Today we are talking a bit about the female-led Japanese math rock band, Tricot.
Read MoreMusic Monday: 2PM + DAY6
Instead of doing dedicated full out posts on 2PM and DAY6 in celebration of their anniversaries (which were separated by three days), I decided to combine the two and focus on some of the wonderful resources and things that the fandoms have been creating that I personally use and watch.
Read MoreNo Sleep Album Review - The Book of Us: Gluon
I would normally not do this but against my better judgment I, in my no sleep state, will be reviewing the album. I’m sure that when I go sleep and come back to this post I’ll see that no sentence makes any sense and all my interpretations are wrong, but this is what we’ve decided to do.
Read MoreDreamcatcher: Five Main / Five Special MVs
In honor of Dreamcatcher’s comeback today, here’s a list of my top five favorite main music videos, and my top five special/b-side music videos.
Read More2PMathon Update: Week Three
I wasn’t as productive on the challenge this week as I thought I would be. I had some other things to watch and do, and it cut into my schedule. Not going to lie, I’m not having high hopes of being able to complete everything by next week…but we are still going to try.
Read MoreTasting Notes: Boyfriend
There are some groups that I know in passing, and always say to myself that I’m going to deep dive more into them whenever I have the time. There are also some groups that I’ve known for a while, and then one day I become obsessed with and Boyfriend is currently that group. So I need to talk about them.
Read More2PMathon Update: Week Two
Here we are in week two, and I feel highly accomplished, yet also like I’m completely failing. In exciting and happy news I finished Dream High! I did it! That was so hard, but I’m done and we can check it off the list. I’ve been making a lot of progress on Shall We Fall in Love as well. I’m on episode 18. I’ve been trying to make a push to get that one done. I sadly haven’t been able to start any other dramas for the challenge like I wanted to have done this week. Dream High took a lot out of me, I’m sorry.
Read MoreFavorite Kpop Debuts
I thought it would be fun for this Music Monday post to list my favorite Korean debuts. No particular order, but just cause it seemed fitting I alternated between female/male. I rarely actually get into a group from the very beginning. These are the groups where I like their debut songs enough to put them in my playlist rotation.
