Music of North Korea


Guten Abend!
I don’t speak German, but I was just feeling that it’s been too long since I’ve done any writing on North Korea. The Last Time Yes! I am not a person that believes in guilty pleasures, but I find that North Korean Music is a rather surprising and enjoyable getaway. (Sad Irony of Existence)

I wish I felt the same way about the music of Somalia. Normally, I like music from horrible places.


If you want to go with a really traditional and folkloric sound, I recommend this piece. I guess it would be folkloric meets concert.


This piece really struck with me the operatic and orchestral touch. As I always emphasize, dramatic vocals are the factor that really captivate my intrigue.


One of my philosophies is that music always has to be fun. It has to catch emotion, but it also just has to have jovial qualities continuously running through. This is a Russian song performed by a North Korean singer, and she does rather well. Like I said, Jovial.



There are so many of these videos floating around, and they are awesome. In the last Korean Music PartyKMP=DPRK,I showed a North Korean guitar prodigy, and this is an ensemble.

I wish I could confirm 100% that all these musicians and music pieces (save Russia) are authentically North Korean. I have some doubts, but as far as I know, they are all North Korean.

QATFYG:
So this morning, I caught a Google Banner Advertisement, which read “Travel to North Korea: Flights from $149.”

Firstly, WTF?

Anyone want to fly coach?

    I wonder if they have sunshine there.
    Or maybe it is all dark clouds and thunderclaps.

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas...
