Enjoying ur ride the cyclone(?) posting. Why does that lady’s head come off

hiiiiiii yes it's called Ride the Cyclone :) i've been listening to all the different versions of the songs all day...they r just stuck in my head i think.

speaking of heads. her head comes off bc the premise of the musical is that they all die in a freak roller coaster accident! and while the other kids die relatively intact, her body is found without a head. the musical is set in the afterlife, and she's nicknamed "Jane Doe" because no one (including her) can remember who she is. (there's other reasons too, technically, but i'm incapable of being concise so i'll leave it there) anyway, she kinda looks like a doll because she took on the head of a doll (i'm unsure if she was carrying it around with her prior to the accident, but she carries it around during the musical) in lieu of her own missing head.

anyways if u wanna watch it, here're the links to two different versions:

(the second one, "hop on the roller coaster of fate" is from 2018 i think? and is the cast most widely known, it's also my favorite version :)

the first, "ride the cyclone mccarter theatre" is from 2022 and has my favorite version of one of the characters, Ricky, who is written as a disabled character in the show, and in this version is played by a disabled actor, Yannick-Robin Eike Mirko. but that cast is considered controversial bc the rest of the cast and crew were extremely abelist. and the theater allegedly fired them for "being too disabled." so. yeah.)

omg when forestella covered legends never die on immortal songs someone said is this a forshadowing for worlds in korea this year and i did not believe because forestella's music and riot's music are very different and the fanbases are basically 2 different circles

but why am i just now seeing hyungho also covered rise at their seoul concert a couple months ago?!!! this was around the same time as their immortal songs too like 2 league songs back to back that's kinda suspicious omg unless he's a fan but why now all of a sudden?! when worlds is heading back to korea ahhh

i don't think they're mainstream enough though but if it manages to happen even if they're not doing the main song i will explode maybe it'll be like a featuring like bobby did for rise

i've been writing a song for a little while now and i just find the progression from naming it "SONGTITLE_ITERATION" to "[song title] is never finished it just stops moving" and "[st]infijsm 2 electric boogaloo" really funny for some reason

this is the one (1) thing keeping me sane rn

keep calm and non mi avete fatto niente . mp3 in these trying times

"got me thinking" is one of jack harlow's earliest and best songs, and seems like it was written....before he graduated high school??? it doesn't sound like what you'd expect from a high school senior. it's both fun to listen to and has lyrical complexity. AND it has my favorite word in it: "subsequently".

So what about these feelings I’ve got?

Hey ! Do you have any favourite kpop songs ? I listened to sunmi after your post and like porapipam ! I love lim kim (rain) and red velvet (peekaboo) but dont know much more ! (Sorry if asking twice, there was a pb with my first ask ?)

Heya anon ! sorry for the Very Long delay I had a bunch of adminstrative stuff to get to first. First off, kpop being the name of a whole industry, know there are a lot of actually very different genres within it ! even just focusing on one group you can find a lot of versatility, Red Velvet for example, before getting fully into their "velvet" concept with those very lyrical songs with sophisticated melodies, had the "red" concept which was really just stupid fun, best illustrated by Russian Roulette

six years ago, jesus, this did not feel so old lol

personally, my favorite girl groups are Mamamoo and EXID, although I'm a bit disappointed by Mamamoo's most recent sounds, it feels like they're leaving aside their beautiful harmony and old school kind of vibe for just some pop beats. I absolutely loved Decalcomanie and Wind Flower

EXID are more into acidic songs, and they were extremely artistically independent from the start, so they were able to find a style pretty quickly halfway between beautiful ballads adapted to the vocal powerhouses that are Solji and Hyolin and angry fun song where LE and Jeonghwa can have fun with their original voices

(none of these are their most famous songs but they're some of the best ones ngl)

more recent girl group that I think disbanded ? I'm trying not to keep up to date too much lol is G-Idle, which as some very interesting voice colors that I think they're using beautifully to create original songs

BUT THERE AREN'T JUST LADIES IN KOREA RIGHT ? (also those definitely arent's just the oens I love, if you want more variety I recommend Lee Hyori, Yoon Mi Rae, Bibi, &15 Jimin, Hyuna OF COURSE, Jessi, Ailee...)

I really love Block B as a boy group because their songs are really fun and they're one of the rare group not trying to sell you a godforsaken "boyfriend image". They're ugly guys making bad fun music --their description not mine

I am running out of space for videos apparently, so I am just going to add Lucky One from EXO which has a really fun flute sample on the chorus, but there is really a lot of diversity in the whole genre

for the men I recommend to also check Epik High, Hyukoh (they would hate being called kpop when they're hiphop, but they've inspired so many of the artists in the industry lmao), Taemin, Dean, Dawn, Vixx, BtoB, Winner, Psy who is a goddamn national treasure Napal Baji is SO GOOD

[hippo-pot]

kinda think this song is about Trump but it took me 3 listens to realize it was about anything at all haha
