Haha! I guess We Are Scientists must have a new album soon and that's why I've been seeing their promotions around. I like them and they are funny, but reading the tracklist of the new album reminds me of why I gave up on 'rock bands'. It is so much trouble trying to interpret lyrics and feeling obligated to remember song titles when the songs are usually nothing special. Now I prefer music I can't literally understand, but that I can understand according to my own ideas of what it sounds like. Having said that I do like After Hours and WAS in general a lot.
To conclude: I would be way more psyched if Kangta and Vanness released a new album together. Scandal is the first Kpop album I ever bought and it is seriously an evergreen.
When it started raining in episode 5, it started pouring here.

Don't pull open the ribbon on the gift At first it's filled with expectation, then it ends with corruption Don't turn on the midnight radio station Don't let the love song fool you again and again
And love didn't teach me how to survive It only taught me to trade vanity for innocence Yet love made us strangers but couldn't change the nobler souls
Don't kiss me, just hold me Don't love me, be my family instead Lend me your hand one minute a day Be my closest family Not somebody's lover, somebody's somebody Even if I'm all drenched I will never be again led by the nose If I'm still holding a fist It could be I'm scared of my dream flying away
And love is not all powerful as you thought It couldn't stop our fights But love is not so merciful The one who loves the deepest gets sacrificed the easiest
Don't kiss me, just hold me Don't love me, be my family instead Lend me your hand one minute a day Allow me to keep dreaming my dream Be the greatest smiling hero in my dream
Attempting to prevent myself from overdosing on K-variety, K-drama and K-pop (and the drama that goes with it) I started watching Autumn's Concerto ft. Vanness Wu tonight. I already heard a lot of good things about this drama and I'm also a Vanness fan since he is so... weird.
Immediately the first episode reminded me of tons of plot... stuff from the only other Taiwanese drama I ever watched, the lauded Mars. Which is totally a good thing, since that is an excellent show! Autumn Concerto is from the first episode funny and dramatic- I can't wait to watch the rest of it.
The only thing is, they sure look old for university students...
I've been listening to a lot of Kangta & Vanness' album Scandal lately. Well I say 'alot' but it's actually a really short album! Haha. Kangta & Vanness are the first Kpop act I got into so I'm quite fond of them. I really like the album because it has a very summery feel to it. Also, Kangta & Vanness are such an unlikely duo it's fun to think about why they work so well together.
To me, Kangta has such an elegant appeal. Even in the outlandish H.O.T. outfits he was graceful- his presence is quiet but strong. Maybe it has something to do with his unbelievably feminine appearance.
However as weird as he may have looked at various parts of his long pop career (which basically requires strange style at some point or the other) next to Vanness, Kangta looks like the normal guy.
Although it would seem Vanness' body-conscious style started to rub off! Hahaha. (Ok, I know Kangta also has had some crazy oily moments in his solo careeer but this is still funny.)
Vanness on his own produces such hilarious pictures though, I've never seen another pop star with so many lol-worthy photos. Sometimes it's more refreshing than the *shexxy* type photos (anyway Vanness' *shexxy* photos are soooo bad, just stick to the funny ones!).
Vanness ftw! On a more serious note, Kangta has such a wonderful voice and I think Vanness is the perfect counterpoint with his less polished and relaxed sound. This short album (like an EP, really) has great songs on it that can stand on their own. I hope when Kangta gets back from the army they'll work together again!
