I've said it once, and I'll say it again - 2012 is THE year for K-pop to make a distinctive mark in North America. This past March, during Canadian Music Week, several Korean artists made their debut on Canadian soil at Toronto's Kool Haus at an event called 2K12 Korea Night. It is the biggest Korean concert to happen in Canada to date. You can check out my review of 2K12 Korea Night: K-Pop Wave at Kool Haus HERE . To add more to the "Korean wave" in North America, this past January and February, Girls' Generation , [...]
On February 29 th , the mega-popular South Korean boy group BIGBANG released their fifth mini-album, titled "ALIVE", for everyone to enjoy. If you are a follower of K-Pop (Korean Pop) then you probably have heard a song at least from this five-membered group that took all the top spots in Korean music charts when "ALIVE" was released. Despite the difference in language, BIGBANG has managed to have fans from all over the world and if anyone is a fan of dance, hip-hop, R&B and pop, I can assure you that you will find one BIGBANG song to enjoy.

New music from Skeezo "Big Bang" featuring Alpha Faktion and produced by Alter Beats.
I'm going to be looking to you guys for some guidance on this one but apparently K-Pop is making massive moves onto our shores. This extensive Stereogum article is a good brush-up on the phenomenon and its the same writer that tuned me onto this video by K-Pop kings BigBang whose hyper glossy/catchy jams are coupled with epic videos like this. Peel back your eye lids now or have the video peel them back for you.
Ever since an October 2011 New York Times account of an absolutley ridiculous-sounding sold-out K-pop showcase at Madison Square Garden, I've been spending altogether too much time chasing the feeling that I got watching my first K-pop video. SHINee's "RingDingDong." I've been able to get that feeling pretty often. South Korea, see, has figured out pop music pretty much perfectly over the last couple of years. Throughout Asia, and in pockets of the West as well, the music coming out of a few different management companies in Seoul has become absurdly popular, and it's done it [...]
It's that time of year again - Canadian Music Week 2012 - the concert series held in Toronto to hold music lovers over until NXNE.

Doors at 7PM This year is going to be HUGE for K-Pop! 2012 has just started and [...]
Most big indie types knew better than to release videos this week, seeing as how the entire music internet is raging out in Austin and the blog-feeds are slowing to crawls. But this week saw plenty of striking videos emerge from unusual suspects, be it Korean pop superstars (that's right, BigBang sighting #2 in two weeks) or chaotic Brooklyn internet-rap insurgents. Check below for our picks, and please note that the Shoes' video with all the Jake Gyllenhaal throat-slashings fucked me up too much for me too include it. Your mileage may vary. Read More...
Hey, our YouTube issues are finally solved! Thanks, YouTube! That means we get to actually post every last one of our picks for the week's best videos without searching out sketchy Russian embeds or whatever. A serious relief! Also, this week marks the first appearance of a K-pop video on the list. Given how addicted I am to that stuff lately, it certainly won't be the last. Click below for this week's picks. Read More...
Recently caught up with the great Dom & Roland and had a lucid chat about his world on the eve of his appearance at the Rhythm Factory tonight (16-18 Whitechapel Rd, E1). He sent us some great... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Kaskade just made a mashup... of himself. With someone else. What could possibly be more exciting? Kaskade - Be Still Big Bang (Kaskade Mashup) And while we're at it, why don't we throw in some Kreayshawn? She who is seemingly incapable of producing other similar level quality tracks still has this one in her belt - this time, mit dubstep!! Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci (Helicopter Showdown and IB Remix )
Well this is something : US scientists have found two interstellar clouds of original gas, which contain only original elements created moments after the universe's birth. Unlike everything else in the universe — the gas clouds have never mingled with elements forged later in stars. The existence of pristine gas that formed minutes after the Big Bang explosion some 13.7 billion years ago, had been predicted, but never before observed. The clouds, which are located about 12 billion light-years from Earth within the constellations Ursa Major and Leo, were [...]
Assegnati ieri sera a Belfast gli MTV European Awards, gli oscar europei della musica organizzati dall'emittente internazionale MTV. C'era interesse per la sfida fra Lena e Britney Spears per il Worldwide Act (qui i candidati) , la nuova categoria che vedeva sfidarsi un cantante per continente: è finita in parità nel senso che hanno vinto i coreani Big Bang ... Ma la sconfitta di Lena è solo la punta di una serata che purtroppo ha confermato il dominio assoluto degli Stati Uniti. In nessuna - leggasi nessuna - [...]

South Korea is quickly becoming the new home of catchy pop music. K-Pop has already taken Asia by storm, and the phenomenon is steadily making its way to the US with acts like Wonder Girls, 2NE1 and BIGBANG working on English language debuts. Given the genre's growing popularity, we thought it was about time to introduce you to some of K-Pop's biggest names. On this occasion, we limited ourselves strictly to bands, since not only is the proliferation and success of boy bands and girl groups one of the defining features of the Korean pop scene, these artists [...]
