July 2024 Monthly Music NYAA

Current (within the last month... or so):

"Joyride" by Kesha. We've all heard it. A return to form and a celebration of Kesha's freedom <3

I finally listened to Cupcakke's album. I know people love to harp on her obscene lyrics and humor but can I just say her instrumentals are one of a fucking kind? Some notables off the album: "Water Balloon," "Aura," "Backstage Pass," "Rock Paper Scissors," "Dora," and "Dementia." If you like these, maybe give "Catman" by TeaMarr as well.

"Skyscraper Starlight" De De Mouse. City Pop sensibilities with a modern groove factor.

"Chasing Low Vibrations" Foster the People. Not as good as previous stuff but... idk... what it is what it says on the tin. Low vibrational.

"Corazon" & "Switch It (ft Cakes da Killa, GAWD). Glossy, disco-y, and MADE to get you on the fucking dance floor! Glad to have accidentally found the latter song through Cakes Da Killa and their song "Da Dat Baby" with its gay, flashy rap. If you like those, PIVOT WITH ME, and try out "Nowhere" by Shotaro Aoyama.

"Kiss" Penicillin. Just some Visual Kei rep on this list. The sound is very nostalgic for Jrock, at least vocally. Like 1998 vibes.

"Low Threshold" Navy Blue. A rap that feels like the intersection between a confessional and a sermon.

Looking at my "Share with Tumblr" playlist... this is longer than expected so uh... kpop dumping ground?? Which is bad because these are all WILDLY different genres but... I feel like the same group of people will give them a chance so:

"Hot Mess" Aespa (chaotic, bad but compelling). "Sabotage" & "Bad Blood" KWON EUNBI (Dancey, Loona-adjacent somehow?) "Dont" Lee Chae Yeon (Bop for the girlies) "Pricey" & "Rain Drop" NCT 127 (Songs I re-imagine as Exo demos) "Sweetie" PRSNT (Jiyoon from 4minute!! In a co-ed group!! Bubbly) "XO (Only if You Say Yes)" Enhyphen (I'm obsessed with the instrumental) "All Day" Onew (I SAVED THE VERY BEST!! GORGEOUS, ENTHRALLING, musically complex and great)

Jpop and mid-2000s AMV core... I'm here for "Underground" by F5ve and its semi-viralness.

I don't think its their best album, by a long shot, and I miss how weird they were but Glass Animals did have a bit of a comeback from that HORRIBLE lead single. Notables: "How I learned to Love the Bomb," "Wonderful Nothing," "whatthehellishappening?" Indie pop / alt rock.

"Super Breath" Karen 0 & Danger Mouse. MTV Teen Wolf era ass song. For the peeps who liked older Metric but also MTV's curated playlists for their teen dramas.

"Stupid (can't run from the urge" underscores. If hyperpop intrigued you but kind of scared you, if you ran back to like... madeon but gayly... this is the song for you.

If you like previous recs of Alex Anwandter's music, give "Mi Corazón" by Tango Astral a shot. Similar vibes, perhaps more basic.

Kinda generic rock song but "Delusion:All" One OK Rock scratches an itch. Still don't think they've ever done better than "Clock Strikes" but I don't follow them much

Older songs to shout out: "Passive" A Perfect Circle (Used to listen to this and think of Sasunaru, alt rock, nu metal... ish), "Last Smile" Love Psychedelico (Jrock from 2000, close your eyes and bop your head), "Eureka" Sakanaction (more Jrock, more energetic and poppy), "Something Good '08" Utah Saints (Kate Bush Sample and made a great AMV)

I definitely will not get back into kpop ever but occasionally I'll go through a youtube binge of my old faves. I only ever liked female artists but the thing was you'd get attached to a girl group or a female vocalist and like a year later it would be like "no she's too old now. time to abandon her and introduce a new group of 15 year olds" . they continually wasted so much incredible talent by viewing the artists as well as talent itself as a replaceable commodity imo (i'm not saying this doesnt happen in western pop too but perhaps not so brazenly)

anyway a lot of it is bad lol but these are some of the things that I've revisited that still actually go so hard:

4minute crazy- excuse me?? this was such a slay. also hate. the tonal plot twist in this track: unparalleled. hyuna was iconic but also jiyoon !!! i agree w the comments of this yt video this would absolutely be a massive hit if it was released today

ladies code. this is just legitimately good pop music. a very sad story behind them as well and they were very undervalued as I recall. but this. galaxy was spectacular. both of the last two EPs tbh. that vocalist's voice does things to me

f(x) 4walls. should have been an international dance hit tbh

wonder girls obviously. even as far back as irony which is so charming in a retro way but I love that they eventually were playing their own instruments/having more of a hand in their own music. specifically i want to point out that park ye-eun from wonder girls was legitimately SUCH a talented musician imo (as a singer and a composer) and so much of her solo stuff as ha:tfelt was incredible. I was very glad to hear that she (and the others i think) left their agency bc they were so mistreated rip

yezi cider.... god she was so talented and i was so in love with her. my underrated fave... at one point i watched a whole reality show about korean female rappers for her lol (which was. a lot. but she should have won)

suzy yes no maybe again this was just really good pop.

dalshabet someone like u this is the corniest thing i'll put on this list but mostly it's just a super interesting case to me. iirc it was fairly popular with international audiences but kind of a flop in korea. which is fascinating to think about in terms of the cultural differences in what music appeals to us. like as a cheesy pop song it is just so catchy to me lol and I can't understand how it could not be but there u go

in capable/caring hands so many of these women could have done INCREDIBLE things imo. like it's undeniable that there is very real talent in kpop, I think the aggressively commercial aspect just limits the artists criminally and it's a shame. which ig is true to some extent about any pop music.

anyway i've put two of my kpop playlists that were popular on 8tracks on spotify: here and here

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 56- BTS GAYO Track 1 & 2

Chapter Summary: The members go through a Girl Group dance quiz and attempt to answer the correct song by listening to the lyrics

Words: 2,000+

------- Gayo Track 1- Girl Group Dance Quiz

The members stood next to each other while Rapmon announced that they would be learning about K-Pop. When he revealed the card, it said, ‘Girl Group Dance Quiz’

It would be the Vocal team which consisted of Jin, Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung VS the Rapper team which consisted of Rapmon, Suga, J-Hope and Jennie.

The members would have to explain the given words with dance moves and there will be a penalty for those who lose the game.

“Do you know any girl group dances?” Rapmon asked

“My second job is teaching girl group dance,” J-Hope mentioned while singing and dancing to Red Velvet’s ice cream cake.

“Don’t you all know this?” V performed Girl’s Generation’s GEE dance.

“Of course, we can’t miss that,” Suga added as some of the other members danced.

“Don’t forget about my girls! Tell me, tell me!” Jennie quickly demonstrated Wonder Girls’ Tell Me choreography, with a bright smile.

“Tell me! Tell me!” Suga sang, trying to perform the dance too which caused Jennie to stop and stare at him with the other members.

‘What on earth is that?’

“Are you doing an aerobic dance?” Rapmon laughed

‘This game is vocal team vs rapper team.’

The members gathered up in their teams and wrote down their penalties before starting the girl group dance quiz. The vocal team began first. J-Hope opened up the book and revealed the first song. 

Once Jimin started trying to dance the choreography, Jin quickly went up to the camera and answered, “Something by Girl’s Day.”

V was up next to dance but the vocal line couldn’t comprehend what he was doing. 

“What was that?” Jimin laughed. “Dance, will you?”

“Even I know that point dance!” Rapmon pointed out, knowing the answer.

“What’s that!?” Jimin laughed louder, still confused.

“I’ve got it!” Jin spoke up and went to the front. “Bar Bar Bar by Crayon Pop.”

Jin was next to dance which quickly gave the vocal line an answer. 

Jungkook quickly scrambled to the front, yelling, “Beautiful by Park Boram!” for the correct answer.

When the Golden Maknae tried to demonstrate the next song, Jimin went to the front. “Full Moon by Sunmi!”

Taehyung was up again and demonstrated a bubble popping with his hands which caused Jin to go to the front to answer, “Bubble Pop by HyunA.”

While Jin tried dancing for the next song, Jungkook dramatically went back to the front again, yelling, “Mister by KARA.”

“I don’t know anything.” Jimin laughed.

“Why Jungkook of all people?” Suga complained.

“Well, he is the Golden Maknae after all,” Jen mentioned. “We shouldn’t be surprised.”

For the last song, Jin answered, “Adult Ceremony by Park Jiyoon.” and the vocal line got a score of six minutes and 45 seconds.

The rapper line settled down while J-Hope stood to begin the game. Taehyung was in the background to reveal the songs. 

As J-Hope began the dance, the rapper line continued to look confused before Suga scrambled to the front to say, “Catallena by Orange Caramel.”

Rapmon was next, gesturing a cell phone to his hand. 

Suga scrambled to the front and announced, “What’s your phone number by 4Minute.” and got hit on the head with a toy hammer. “Hot Issue by 4Minute?” he got hit again.

“Got it!” Jennie scrambled to the front. “Whatcha doin’ today by 4Minute,” she answered, getting it correct.

“Finally!” Rapmon exclaimed.

She stood up and went to the front, watching Taehyung move the paper to the next song which was, ‘Me Gustas Tu by GFriend’

“Oh gosh.” she hesitated for a moment. 

After getting over her nervousness, she began performing the choreography elegantly just like GFriend taught her.

“Ah! Me Gustas Tu by GFriend!” J-Hope shouted and went back up to dance.

“Bad Girl Good Girl by Miss A!” Suga answered.

“This is really easy,” Taehyung revealed the next song while Rapmon stood there, dumbfounded.

Jungkook let out a loud laugh, pointing at him while Rapmon tried to express crazy with his body because he couldn’t remember the entire dance.

“Crazy by Son Dam Bi.” J-Hope answered and also answered, “Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls.”

Rap Monster had tried to perform Tell Me by Wonder Girls along with the actual song that he was trying to dance for them to get. It took a while but then J-Hope and Jennie managed to think of an answer.

“My girls!” she shouted and scrambled to the front. “Nobody by Wonder Girls!” she answered to get the final answer. 

Unfortunately, the rapper team got eight minutes and 12 seconds.

“Woo!” Jimin yelled happily.

“Are you okay? You’re sweating.” J-Hope placed a hand on Rapmon. “The questions for the vocal team were too easy.”

“How did you not know bubble pop?” Rapmon complained.

“Look who’s talking!” Suga playfully shoved him

“Aye! Aye! Guys, we are all friends here!” Jennie tried to calm them down while laughing.

After calming down, Rap Monster opened up the penalty for the rapper team which was a finger flick on the forehead.

“If Jimin does finger flicks, you’ll be dead. He’s so strong.” J-Hope pointed out.

“We can’t endure it,” Suga added.

The Rap Line began to play Rock, Paper, scissors to see who would get the penalty. Suga managed to win first, eliminating himself from getting hit and then Jennie was second, physically relieved. Rap Monster and J-Hope were back to back and raised up their fists in the air, choosing rock. J-Hope began screaming and jumping around, scared of losing while the members laughed wholeheartedly at him.

They tried it again and this time, J-Hope lost when he chose Rock again. Suga made the dancer kneel in front of Jimin, who prepared for the finger flick. Once he flicked him in the forehead, J-Hope swore and rubbed his forehead.

Gayo track 2- Answer the Right Song by Hearing

“This is BTS’ Banga Banga! Bangtan ga~!” Suga announced

“Are you drunk? Your pronunciation.” J-Hope laughed.

“He’s slurring words,” Rapmon added

“Today, we’re having Bangtan Gayo, 2nd Banga Banga.” Suga spoke. “In the first episode, Rap Monster-“

“No!” the leader cringed at the unpleasant memory

“...thanks to him, we lost. Your thoughts, please.”

“J-Hope got the penalty.” Jungkook pointed

“I’m still aching here.” J-Hope mentioned. “It’s become swollen.”

“I did it easy but you’re whining,” Jimin added

Suga revealed the theme for the episode, which was to answer the right song by hearing. It would be the vocalists against the rappers again and they will listen to five songs. The staff will play songs and the members will write the song title. The team closest to the right answer will win.

After writing down the penalties, the members began the game. Suga and Jungkook go up against each other first, sitting at their tables, ready to write in their sketchbook. After briefly hearing what was played, everyone was confused.

“What is this?” the members asked amongst themselves while Jimin mimicked the lyrics by mumbling.

After hearing it again, Suga began writing his answer down. 

“Do the lyrics have any meaning to it or are they just imitative words?” Rapmon asked.

Once Jungkook and Suga revealed their answers, the staff showed the correct answer which was, ‘I-reon-neoneun-dali-nabbenaiya.’

“What? How is that?” Taehyung laughed, while both teams got it wrong.

Next was Taehyung and J-Hope while their teams stood around them. The song played as they all listened closely and were asked to guess why the singer didn’t go and this place is where kids go after school.

“I played marbles,” Taehyung mentioned.

“I didn’t do that!” Jin laughed.

“You are old school.” Jimin pointed out

“Wait, I think I know.” Jennie leaned down to whisper in J-Hope’s ear. “What about playing video games? Like an arcade?”

“What did you say?” Rapmon asked.

“I think it may be an arcade,” she whispered to her team while J-Hope wrote down the answer. “I usually would go to the park after school but I highly doubt that would be the answer. It should be an arcade, I just have a gut feeling.”

When they revealed their answers, Taehyung had said to eat snacks. Once it was shown that the answer was to play games at the video arcade, the rap line yelled “Yay!” and high fived each other.

“Thank you, Jennie, you saved us.” Suga praised.

“You mad?” she glanced over at Jungkook who wasn’t too happy at getting the wrong answer.

“N-no!” he responded.

Next was Jimin vs Rap Monster for the third round, listening closely and they had to write the lyrics on the beep.

“Hyung, we practiced ‘a-e-i-o-u’ for pronunciation,” Jimin called out. “A-e-i-o-u.” he continued stating with Taehyung.

“Shhhhh!” Jen placed a finger to her mouth and they giggled at her.

“I think we will win.” Jimin confidently asserted

“What are you saying? I think I’ll be closer to the answer.” The leader replied and they both showed their answers. 

The crew examined their lyrics.

“Rappers 10, and vocals 8.” the crew revealed the rappers winning by two letters as the vocal line looked disappointed.

“Yeah!” Suga cheered

“Ganjang-Gongjang-Kongjangjang~!” the rap team teasingly sang while Jungkook placed his fingers on the bridge of his nose, unhappy with the results thus far.

“There are many chances for us winning,” Taehyung called out.

“I dunno ‘bout that my friend but you can try.” Jennie grinned confidently as she took a seat next to Jin for the fourth round.

The song began to play as everyone listened closely, and gathered around their teams. 

“Oh mah God,” Jimin exclaimed in English, thinking about how difficult this listening test had been.

Jennie, confused, tried to write what she could with her team giving her ideas. 

Once both teams revealed their answers, Jen saw that Jin had written, ‘Yes, yes, give me out.’

“Damn, I think I’m wrong. That sounds right.” she scolded herself, shaking her head.

“Ah, don’t sweat it.” Rap Monster placed a hand on her shoulder.

“The right one is...vocal team!” the staff announced as Jin scrambled out of his seat in excitement.

The rest of the vocal line started celebrating while Jennie pressed her lips together, displeased. 

The vocal line started to sing the song, in front of the rap line to tease them, “Yes, yes, give me out, give me out, give me out, yes, yes, give me out, give me out, give me out.” which caused Miss Bangtan to cross her arms, rolling her eyes.

“Give me out! Give me out! Give me out!” Taehyung sang in her face while giggling, causing her to playfully smack him on his head.

Suga vs Jungkook went up again for the fifth round as they listened to the lyrics. 

“Now, how much is an early morning discount on weekdays?” the staff asked for them to write down the answer.

Once they revealed their answers, the rap line celebrated their victory when their answer was the closest to 6,000 won. 

“WOO!” J-Hope shouted as his team applauded.

“Hey, what was that they were saying earlier? Oh right.” Jen called out to her teammates. She began to sing and dance with the rap line in a teasing manner for the vocal line, “Give me out, give me out, give me out, give me out.”

“If rappers win, double the penalty.” The staff explained. “If the vocals win, the penalty is another question.”

Suga and Jungkook got the bonus question as they listened closely to the lyrics, having to write down how many As were in the phrase. Both Rapmon and Jungkook answered 12 and were given a chance to change. 

“Trust your judgment and gut feeling. Don’t change it.” Jen advised while they debated. 

The right answer was 12 and they both got it correct.

In the end, the rappers won. 

“Ayeeee! Give me out! Give me out! Give me out! Aye, aye, give me out! Give me out! Give me out!” Jennie began moonwalking across the set while the members laughed at her enthusiasm. 

The rap line followed her movements to celebrate, feeling good to finally win. After the vocals read their penalty, which was to drink a coke with their mouth filled with mentos, they were in for a rude awakening when J-Hope revealed that he would also flick Jimin’s forehead with one finger, for revenge.

“I’m going to be hit?” Jimin widened his eyes.

After the vocal line played rock, paper, scissors, Jimin lost and was forced to endure both penalties as the members yelled in surprise.

“Hahahaha, this is your lucky day, Jimin.” Jennie patted him on the back while he cringed at his fate.

Jimin kneeled before J-Hope, squinting his eyes, preparing for the worst. After he was flicked on the forehead, he groaned.

“Ah....” He murmured.

Taehyung prepared the coke with mentos, popping some in as it quickly began to overflow. Jimin grabbed the bottle and began to drink as it burst into his nose and mouth.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!” The members cackled at his suffering and then applauded Jimin for being a good sport.
