Half band, half idol group AOA released "Wanna Be". It's a rather fun video; the members dress up as characters from popular movies, books, and plays.

Lindsey Stirling performed at my college on Saturday night and my dad bought me her cd, so I've been listening to it nonstop, it's fantastic.

I preordered this album, and it's still backordered!

* Two Door Cinema Club - Beacon (title track "Sleep Alone")

* Bond - Play (title track "Diablo")

Afaik there are no specific "English versions" of songs.

There's an English version of "CAN'T NOBODY" on To Anyone.

Their videos have always been like that.

I was playing "Day By Day" today, and someone around me noticed that it sounds similar to Britney Spears' " Criminal ". I definitely could hear the similarities and tried to match the tracks in an audio editor. I first transcribed (by ear, so they're guesses!) the prominent melod...

The short film for " DAY BY DAY " is out , and it's only the first part ! It's post-apocalyptic with some nice computer generated settings, has a " bloody screen--so real " moment, and is complete with crossbow and sword play. It doesn't seem like Jiyeon had very fun practice ses...

CHI CHI is back with "Love is Energy". It's nice to see they stuck with the sound they had in "Longer".

Being quite the transition from "Alone", the music video for the summer-themed song "Loving U" was just released along with their second mini-album SISTAR Summer Special Album. This album is something CCM would do: two new tracks and five remixes.

How are you guys already buying tickets ?

And know the times/places ??

Two shows are listed at Livenation: Newark, New Jersey (Aug 17), and Los Angeles, California (Aug 24).



Also, unicorn outfit!

I noticed that their "Like this" music video has English captions, and the words flow quite nicely with the music. I speculate that these are the actual lyrics that are going to be used in the English version of the song.

Since things seem to be selling out half a month in advance, MM-BBS will be holding a giveaway next week for a chance to win a copy of the single!

I agree that Utada United was a really a great show. She gets a lot of flak for her English songs, but her performances of "Kremlin Dusk" and "You Make Me Want To Be A Man" were just outstanding and completely memorable.

Metric's Synthetica album (alternative) was released today! All the tracks are available on SoundCloud for your listening pleasure. Recommended: "Synthetica", "Youth Without Youth", and "Speed Through Collapse".

Dal*Shabet continues their shooting spree with "Mr. Bang Bang".

I recommend Chronicle (2012) not only for being a great "found footage" thriller but to also hear a few seconds of capsule's "FLASH BACK"!

I noticed there are only five members in performances. What happened to the sixth?



I'm also curious as to Alice's computer programming skill.

I heard Sunrise Inc's "Mysterious girl" today, which uses the same sax sample as 4minute's "Volume Up".

@showraniy, yeah! I had both LIGHTS and Ellie Goulding on my list for last year's MM-BBS Music Awards . The Bassnectar remix of "Lights" is really good if you haven't heard it yet. Sorting 2012 by play count, albums that I'll note are the last two Tonight Alive releases (punk rock) and Mir...

I applied a fix for this. Do tell of any regressions.

MAA is an eccentric character. She likes to use the wildest lyrics in her songs like "my little miss favorite boobie bitches" ("F.B") and "got a gay ass bitch psycho / do do do do do dogs" ("King&Queen&Kiz"). BubbleMan Engine is a fantastic electro alb...

Tonight Alive is a fun Australian band if you're in the mood for some punk rock.



* Starlight

* Breaking & Entering

* Wasting Away

There were a lot of remixes at the 2011 SBS Gayo Daejun Music Festival, but Secret's rock version of "Love is MOVE" was particularly awesome.
