The Roots in Seoul (Melon-AX Hall)

I’m leaving in an hour for the The Roots concert – their first performance in Seoul.  I’m meeting Ras, Brad, Eddie, and one other at Gwangnaru station (line 5).  It’s an expensive show, with general admission at 88,000 won and reserved seating at 110,000, which includes drinks and finger foods.  We bought the reserved seats.  [...]

Popular Radio Hits I’m Listening To

Nobody But You

Previously, when you called Ras, you’d be bombarded with a loud, obnoxious, hip-hop song.  This lasted 2-5 rings, or until he answered.  Everyone complained about what a terrible song it was.  Recently, when he bought a new cell phone, he went online with his phone to get a new English hip-hop song.  Unfortunately, they were [...]

It’s Hyorish?

What in the heck is that supposed to mean?  Maybe she meant, It’s Whorish?  You’re looking at the album cover of Lee Hyo-ri’s third album, which is set to be released in July.

My Favorite New Zealand Group

Actually, it’s the ONLY New Zealand group I know of – Flight of the Conchords. They will be performing at SXSW (pronounced south by southwest) in Austin, Texas. If you know nothing about SXSW, here is a documentary they made about the music festival, which happens mid-March.

Back Eyed Peas in Seoul

Black Eyed Peas are performing tonight in Jamsil, an area of Seoul. This picture looks ridiculous to me. Taboo (on the left) is the only one that doesn’t seem to be embarrassed to be wearing those Korean hats and holding the fans.

Reh Dogg

I was requested by Ras to blog about this. In his words, “the worst rap song, video, lyrics ever! I can’t stop watching it.” EVER? You be the judge. I will say this though, I love the crying – it’s so bad, it’s good. Plus, who is the invisible friend he raps to, as he [...]

Hilary Clinton picks the worst campaign song EVER

Go HERE to listen to it. It’s a terrible song. Plus, there’s nothing American about the artist, other than the fact that she works in Las Vegas. Her name just screams CANADA! I hope Obama doesn’t make the same mistake.
