[e] . tablo. mithra. dj tukutz.

i must say. this album is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. i will refrain from calling it “epic” just because almost every person uses that term to describe them. a bit cliche but in reality, it does sum the album up quite nicely.

oh to hell with it.

THIS ALBUM IS EPIC ! xD

there’s 2 CDs so it’s 2x the pleasure! and okay, i know i’m guilty of illegally downloading the copy but hey, i don’t have my financial money yet okay? and shipping makes a 13 dollar CD 28 dollars. if you wanted to split with me, i’d be fine with that. but other than that, please don’t start freaking out and pullin gout your pitchforks.

[e]motion of course has more softer style songs with a trancy/lighthearted feel and the opening and ending instrumental tracks are very soothing. maze was one of my favorites. i really wish i understood all of moonwalker because i heard it’s tribute to mj ? ]: and the song 트로트 was fun and do a side-to-side dance to. xD and what a different style too! 선물was really nice to my ears and is reminiscent of fallin’ and the song collabs with jisun and haru.

[e]nergy has, duh!, more energy. IT HAS ROCKSTEADY which has STEADILY been rising to my “top 25 songs played” in itunes. ITS BOMB. the flow and the rapping. i love it all. both the english and the korean version too. and is it just me or is part of the korean version..the beat, it’s similiar to CL’s rap in “The Leaders” on GD’s album? and i have no idea why but i imagine tablo to sound like the rap from the fresh prince of bel-air [90s BABY!] at some parts in the song. which just makes it better for course. they started promotions for wannabe which is a very catchy mainstream-like song that should get some new fans hooked on their music. madonna was pretty great too because the opening lyrics were hilarious. i mean, how the hell do virgins dance anyways? and so if you’re de-virginized you dance different? haha. and i liek techno/electronica music so <3 !

i think some of the more special parts of the CD include their musical guests including dumbfounded and MYK. they’re really lyrical geniuses and i know how much one of my friends really wants to get MYK’s CD is one ever comes out so if there’s ever one, i’m sure i’ll get it for her for her birthday or something. or just a thank you gift because she lent me her copy of Tablo’s Pieces of You to read [WHICH I TOTALLY RECOMMEND]

so anyways. you probably landed here searching a DL link but i’ll be a hypocrite here and state this. i won’t give you the download links for the album because i think you can find it yourself. ever heard of google? but i do recommend you getting a copy if you can and listening to them. support them. spread their music !

smokin’ hot.

i like the guy that deliveries cigarettes at my parents’ store. he has piercings on her ear [on the top] and he’s korean.

my standards are low, can’t you see? ahaha he’s cute ALSO. sheesh. i always try to be the one that writes the check/pays him when he comes.

but he was smoking in his car before delivering the stuff so when he was talking, he had acid smoke breath.

no thx, no way. [:

guy fail. 101.

i did it! i finally called him up and talked to him. i grew a backbone!

haha. so that korean guy that gave me flowers are graduation that i was ranting on about? the one that was my “crush but not really a crush but crush if i was single” guy? i called him. after weeks of evasive manuevers.

ahaha im so lame.

the conversation didn’t go horribly as i thought. well, it was horrible on my part. i kept laughing and not knowing what to say and it probably felt like a interview or something because i was completely combarding him with questions and then i ranted about my parents? wow, im pretty weird. i mean, who randomly just rants to some guy about her parents. and i actually say something like “as much as i dislike my parents sometimes, i do really love them”.

i mean, uhhh..i just told the guy i love my parents. who does that. god what the hell hao. ><”

anyways, so i guess ill hang out with him for lunch or someting the next time i get a chance too. i owe the guy that much for his graduation gift and standing him up for lunch and THEN not calling him.

i am horrible with guys. why do they like me. lol. im a freakign twit and so so stupid. o_O” i just talk incessantly and then i profess that i love math! OMG. YEA. I TOLD HIM I LOVE MATH. AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO SAY THAT I SUCK AT IT BECAUSE I GOT A 3.0.

he’s probably like “uhhhh wtf.” and was hella anxious to hang up on me. but he was so cute on the phone with his “pardon me?” and whatnots. =D

haha.

well. until whenever. i’m off to play scrabble.

youtube flood.

it’s been a while since I’ve posted something youtubey on here. so let’s go!

first is of course is suju’s new MV for “It’s You” off their [new?] repackaged album. My mate already posted it but I think she posted the leaked version, but I’m not so sure.

SUPER JUNIOR — IT’S YOU.

Yes, Ki Bum is back. But with what? A few smiley/teary face shots? C`’MON. We need some love here and his lovely voice (albeit there is no rapping parts in that song, but ohwell). And yes I drooled during Choi Siwon. That jacket he’s wearing is a sexy piece of fabric. And Kyu~! The song is way better than Sorry Sorry (though I still like Monster) and it’s been on repeat for…2 days and is about to invade my Top 25 list. The chest thump thumping (yes, I know it’s call ‘popping’ but y’know. it’s cuter to say thump thumping [: ) ! ! ! WOOT WOOT. xD

2NE1 -- FIRE. [2 versions: Street & Space]

Of course since I’m such a Big Bang, who wouldn’t be eager to see what the so-named “female counterpart of Big Bang” had to offer. And as addicting Lollipop was, it was way to bubblegum tastelike. WG and SNSD could do that genre better. I must admit, that although their new song is great, I am skeptical of what they have to offer. Their voices are synthesized so much and their dance moves haven’t quite been developed. Minji really amazed me for being 14 (I think?) though. She’s got spunk, that one. I think it’s different because it went the reggae way and had a different beat. Definitely something G-Dragon would do (considering he played a huge part in making the song). Lots of people said they liked Space vers. better but I liked Street. I don’t know. Just my preference. But yes, a good song that has also certainly racked up plays on iTunes.

LEARN KOREAN W/ YUNHO

Ah.hahahahah. I only found this after searching for how ot say “you are cute” in korean. Well I know now, kinda. But I don’t know how the whole spelling thing goes. But this is just SO FUNNY. It will go well with my plan to buy some chocolate milk and show off to Comm. guy that I can say “yummy milk” in Korean. Mwahahaha. Only too bad he thinks im so high-matinence bitch after I asked Yoon to toss away my milk for me. *sigh. I can never keep my mouth shut.

on the other hand. —-

grey’s anatomy teasers for season finale

just 2 teasers that (1) made me angry and (2) made me laugh. I’m sure you know which one is which.

MAN ALEX YELLING AT IZZY? GR. But I understand it’s all because he loves and her and whatnot. It’s so bittersweet the way Alex has grown up. But once in a while, we are able to glimpse the old Alex and see how his personality is affected by the way he was raised. But Izzie and Alex. I love them to death. I do. The scene of when Alex lifted Izzie in her prom dress still makes me cry. But Mark and Lexie (Mexie?) are just. so sweet.

I’m so effing excited for the SEASON FINALE tomorrow. I mean, SEASON FINALE AHH OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ON THURSDAY NIGHTS NOW. GAWDDD.

I might as well start burning Season 4 discs and watching re-runs. ):

WONG FU PRODUCTIONS — WHEN FIVE FELL.

I love Wong Fu because they do videos that are relate-able, visually stimulating, and just artistic. The trailer proves everything about them. The music always plays a huge part of their videos. I’m excited to watch this new one considering I never saw their full-feature film. I’m anxious for the day that Wong Fu can break it into the mainstream because they really do rock. They went to Cannes after all!

———

I must go home now so I will attempt to post a new one tomorrow if not tonight. There’s been a bit on my mind regarding my love and what my future holds. Maybe I’ll write poetry? It’s been a while since I’ve written something. I’m being coaxed to write once again by a close friend. I’m inspired by his spoken word writings too. GO RYAN! But anyways. Laters dude.

Epik High & F*EM in Seattle !

so in anatomy class today, ken comes in and the first thing he says is “are you goin’ to the epik high show?”

me: WHAT?!

———————

Epik High is coming to Seattle to preform on May 23rd at the Kingcat Theatre, located on 6th Avenue.

Like. Oh Em Gee. God this would be one event that I absolutely must ask my parents to go to. I mean, it’s one in a lifetime. And actually, I wanna go to this more than prom (which I have neglected to ask my parents about too). I mean, prom or Epik High in Seattle? EPIK HIGH FOR SURE.

and and and

Ken told me that apparently they’re doing autographed copies for the first 25 people (not sure?) and selling their merchandise (of course!) at the show so no shipping and handling payments. I kind of zoned out afterwards because all I could think about were ways to convince my parents. I mean, it’s a one in a million shot of letting me go but mygod. I wish wish wish (this is way more bomb than Wong Fu because Wong Fu is located within the US so if i ever went to California, I could potentially catch one of their shows but Epik High is sadly, an ocean away).

Speaking of Wong Fu, Far East Movement (of whom WF has made a music video for) is also part of the concert and dude, they rock too! So it’s like a double packaged deal !

Tickets are 25 dollars which is TOTALLY affordable and apparently seating is first come first get in and shove your way to the front and stake a claim. =O

……GAH I WANNA GO SO BAD. KEN’S BUYING TICKETS AND MONA IS GOING TOO! *FOAMS AT MOUTH*

THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN SE7EN COMING TO SEATTLE.

[VIDEOS]

GIRLS ON THE DANCE FLOOR — FM [NOT OFFICIAL MV]

This video is great. The timing and everything is so exact and right on that I thought it was their official video. FM actually did a contest for MV submissions and I’m not sure if this one won or not, BUT IT DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE. Man, geeks and hot girls? “FM” body spray? Hahaha. JUST LIKE AXE!

SLOWMOTION EPIK HIGH — MAPTHESOUL.COM

EFFING HILARIOUS. This is so typical Epik High. Their expressions are priceless. And omg playing with that sneaker/shoe ? DID YOU SEE HIS EXPRESSION? And Tablo with the water running down his face. HAHA.

[MV] Lollipop — 2NE1 ft. Big Bang

so the first time i listened to this song, i was quite questionable about it. hot? not? it was one of those, ‘god what the hell was that’ kind of song that ends up being the song you play repeatedly in the shower. and yes, it is not on my shower playlist for my touch.

and funny enough, the name of the ‘female counterpart of big bang” was 21 at first, and then it was changed to 2NE1 with the NE standing for New Evolution? (apparently, YG realized that the girls would never be forever 21 [hah! pun!]) and then ally was like “like ‘to anyone’? what does that mean?” and im like WHOA 2NE1 could be “to anyone“. ahahha laaaaaame.

what makes me sad about this “debut” song for big bang 2NE1 is that it DOES sound like a big bang ft. 2NE1 rather than vis-versa. you can hardly tell what the member’s voices sound like and what their range is. and their dance moves are weaaaaak. and what the hell is up with sandara’s hair? i mean, dr. suess much?

MV!

Lollipop — 2NE1 ft. Big Bang

“squee!”, said the lusty-eyed fanatic.

i don’t know. i found this to be utterly adorable. i mean, pouty Tablo ! RAWR I JUST WANNA EAT YOU UP* makes me pout too. pouty face friends ! (okay…i’m going just a bit nutso here.)

anyways, Epik High’s new album, Map The Soul was released the 27th. i wasn’t even aware of it. apparently, they didn’t get to promote it as much as their previous albums. listening to previews, i’d have to say that there’s definitely more vocals in this album than their previous lovescream (which i absolutely loved because it was basically dedicated to love and heartbreak and whatnot). the only reason i found out that there was a new release is because there is also an MV out for their first single off the album, Map The Soul.

It’s alright. It’s kind of their trademark rapping and background light music. I didn’t find it standing out much from some other songs. I found the MV to be confusing but the pictures of the war and the Earth and nuclear plants were quite moving though. I actually went to their website for their promotion activities. Apparently, they’re the first in in the music business to actually do their own website and stuff which surprises me because american artists do that all the time?

But yea, go listen to the album. It’s definitely Epik High and who doesn’t love Epik High. They’re seriously not overrated as much as you’d like to think they are.

& isn’t it totally disappointing to hear that all three members of Epik High have gfs? I mean, it’s not like we fangirls ever had a chance, but y’know. maybe. kinda. sorta. haha sikes. im happily taken even if he’s not tablo. [:

[Tablo's blog. Dude, I just love to look at the pictures. I can't read Korean. Haha]

———-

*Why is it when people like to describe stuff that is “cute”, they like to say things like “so cute I could eat you up” or further reference the person/thing as food items such as “come here sugarbuns” and “cupcake face” or something. Is this just an American thing? Is this why we’re fat? Because every freaking second, we’re thinking about food? Haha. And it does bring up the serious thought that, if you saw a baby that was way adorable, why would you want to eat it. Does it turn into a cake that you just want to stick your fork into? Because, babies aren’t cakes. And you really shouldn’t be thinking of eating human beings unless you’re German. SHAH!

point proven. literally. oh tablo…. <3<3

updated music widget [m.p 3?]

i updated my box.net music widget to the right side

——————>

5 new songs. favorites taken from my itunes.

windflower by jisun [ft. alex] — it’s off her new CD, the mermaid comes back home. a fabulous song to sleep to. alex’s voice is just SO dreamy. emmagawd.

insomnia by craig david — the original of wheesung’s song. it’s been in my blog for a while.

03 = driving me crazy by untouchable [ft. hwa young] – THIS SONG IS AWESOME. it’s the third most played song on iTunes after like, 4 days. i had it on repeat for the longest time (the whole album too.) i often attempt to sing to this song in the shower. though can anyone tell me if the chorus is sung by a guy or a girl? i’m guessing it’s a guy.

tell me baby by red hot chili peppers — this song has such an awesome beat to it. headbanging. and ohmygosh, not korean!

tell it to by heart by YMGA [ft. uhm jung hwa] — i find myself doing that shoulder leaning and attempting to be a gangster when listening to this. the MV is particularly funny to me though.

— just a short one this time guys. thanks for stopping by. i wrote this in computor class because we didn’t do anything. and having a fast computor in front of me is just so addicting.

music post [2]

showeeeeeeeeeee. first things first. a new video! love love love love love.

Wheesung [휘성] – 불면증 (Insomnia)

this song is about to be the next Driving Me Crazy by Untouchable (ft. Hwa Young) and Gone by Dynamic Duo (ft. Joo-Hee). it’s that fabulous and addictive. btw, def. check out those songs if you haven’t. topped my iTunes most played along with Oh, Ah, Oh by Big Bang, Fallin’ by Epik High, and Sunset Glow by Big Bang (again). That’s my Top 5 Most Played on iTunes. Ohmygosh, aren’t we getting so personal?

according to wondersmurf, it’s a cover of the Insomnia original by Craig David (remember him? he sang that equally addiciting song about the days of the week! – i met this girl monday, took her for a drink on tuesday, we were making love by wednesday. & on thursday and friday and saturday.. man, oh man, that song is SO OLD SCHOOL DUDE!) check out the original. it pretty much sounds the same only one is korean and the other is english. i downloaded both because they’re equally bomb. but me, being the total Asian, prefers the Korean version. Plus, Wheesung’s voice gets soooo pitchy and high, it’s cuuute!

What’s else is new in my music..

[ALBUM] YMGA — MADE IN R.O.K

I downloaded this album thinking that I would become a fan. At first, it was alright. But then I realized the size of the files that I had downloaded (there’s a 9.1MB song. ONE SONG), it’s not the best quality for quantity (in this case, my hard drive space is quite precious since my computor is slowly dying…). Theres only three (out of five..) songs I liked/preferred which was the Real Talk [Ft. Tae Yang Of Big Bang], Tell It To My Heart [Ft. Uhm Jung Hwa], and Let It Play [Ft. Ji Eun] and . I think this album is a bit too hardcore rapping for my tastes and whatnot. The songs listed above have a more electronic beat which is def. more my style. Their rapping is more cut throat and choppy then Epik High. Maybe that’s why also. I advise you listen and figure out for yourself. I’m on the fence about this album. I probably wouldn’t miss these songs if I deleted them for hard drive space though.

[SONG] Matter of Time by The Rescues

Wow, an American song! Okay, I like this song. It’s kinda country so for all you people who hate country. Skip it. But her voice is strong and she makes me want to cry. The song is overall a bit depressing. I actually have no idea how I got this song anyways. I randomly found it on my computer while searching for my Big Bang album. But it’s one of those songs I’d listen to when I’m emotional or something.

[ALBUM] BIG BANG — NUMBER 1

Okay, I never really liked Big Bang’s english covers of their Korean songs. Hands down, it’s not as good. The only one that I found myself putting on my shower playlist is Come Be My Lady. I really really disliked the English version of Make Love because I absolutely adore that song by Tae Yang (it’s my ringtone!) . Do these English songs really break the Japanese barrier?

—————-

well, i have to scat now because i need to do some chem and stuff cuz we have a huge exam this friday (once more?). it seems like chem takes away at my life but that’s really not true. i stress over compsci hwk at school. and art? well, art is just a load of bs. so toodles until something spontaneous happens.

you spin my head right round when you go downtown ;]

this is probably one of the sweetest song lyrics i’ve read. & i say read because it’s a translation of a korean song. so. as far as translations go, i find it to be sweet. haha.

it’s okay — untouchable ft. hwayobi

[translation excerpt]

I must love you too much
The truth is I must love you
It’s so hard to fall asleep and I love everything about you
If I have only you, I’m okay
If you stay beside me, I love you
I’ll always stay by you, look at only you

okay, yea it’s a bit lame and corny. but the rest of the song builds to it okay? i mean, it IS about love. gosh.

——-

today i went to the chinatown fair. and yea, it was pretty lame. lol. but what we do to support friends -.-” dimsum was good. albeit i guess hanging with ally isn’t the same anymore =/ (SILENCE!) i got new jeans at american eagle. they were only 19.95.

i had a cream puff. it was no bite of heaven. though it was different because the puff was crispy. which i’ve never had. but it was def. not worth the $2.15. it was good. but not THAT good. maybe i’ll head to sweet and fresh bakery…

im eating banh chung and drinking OJ. and listening to Right Round – Flo Rida. And purely chillaxing.

life is good right now.

Right Round Lyrics

(Male Voice)
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down…
