It goes l-o-l-l-i-p-o-p


A "duet" between Big Bang and 2NE1.

Want to introduce yourself to Big Bang? Not literally, but it turns out that in celebration of Asian American Heritage Month, Comcast is featuring some Asian artists. And get this--there is a whole section of K-Pop! XD

To find this, go to On Demand > Music > Music Picks > K-Pop. You'll find several songs by lovely artists like 2NE1Wonder Girls and Super Junior. You won't find any recent Big Bang music, but it's still all fun. :)

Let me know what you think!

Oh hey!

Finals are finally over. Hee. So I've just been winding down from the semester and prepping for the next one (starting soon).

But while I'm not completely involved school, let me take a moment to introduce you to an awesome music group--Big Bang. They are an all-male group out of Korea and sing in Korean, Japanese and English. They are wonderful dancers and singers. All of them have side projects and are under YG Entertainment.

 The early music is more hip-hop, but their style has expanded as they have performed more.

Start with the more recent "Somebody To Love" practice video. It has some very nice choreography and a great dance beat. "Haru Haru" (or "Day by Day" translated) is one of the songs that I first heard by them. "Beautiful Hangover" is a song they released last August, with a very enjoyable video. Let's round this out with a silly video. "How Gee" has lots of humor and a instrumental you may recognize. Enjoy the funk.

Beans, Beans the Musical Fruit

The above has nothing to do with the post, just something that came up earlier. It's exam week, y'see, and us college kids are all atwitter waiting for finals to be over. :sigh: I am so jealous of the people who are finished. Like really.

Earlier, I had my final speech. We had to give a persuasive speech using the motivated sequence. We had to present a problem and a solution. It made it easier to put it together, but man, I hate giving speeches. I get anxious and twitchy, but apparently no one can tell when I'm nervous--Huzzah!

The advice my teacher gave was really good. Put very little words on your slides. If you use a quote, don't say it, just put it on the slide. Use the motivated sequence because it will apply most to your life.

I will be so excited for the break between my last final and the start of the summer semester. Graduation will be after that. As well as transferring. Buh buh buh!

But we'll see what the future brings. Right now I just have to get through finals.
