Artist's Corner, Week 24: DBSK/Tohoshinki!

Ah, these guys are definitely famous and therefore shouldn't have their own corner, but still since they were chosen as representatives of Asia to the world I guess they deserve a "short snippet of text".

So, Dong Bang Shin Gi, which is Korean (and Chinese) for "East Gods Rising" (minus me), is one of the oldest still-promoting male groups in Asia, who've broken numerous selling records and possess the largest fan club in the world (Guinness Book of Records) called "Cassiopeia". The members, U-know, Max, Hero, Micky, and Xiah, have released 10 albums to date, 5 in Korean and 5 in Japanese, all of which have broken selling records. Unlike most groups, some of their best songs are slow ballads or even acapella, a change of pace from the regular dance K-pop we're used to (though they do that too)

Some slow songs:

And of course, the required dance dosage:

What to Expect? Part1

Welcome, dear reader, to the 1st post of this blog. TONIGHT's Topic iiiiiiiissss..... *Drum roll please*

NOTHING! GOTCHA! This first post will serve as an introduction to the blog, listing the topics I write about, and some common sources I use. So without further ado, Let the what-to-expect begin!

1. K-music: 95% of what is on my mp3 player right now. If you're interested in getting hooked (who isn't), I suggest a quick shot of 2PM's Heartbeat albums (great live performances), TVXQ's ballad music videos (awesome live performances), and a glance at MBLAQ's newest single, Y (DID I MENTION AMAZING LIVE PERFORMANCES? Srsly). Kpopdream and allkpop are definitely the places to start your fanboy/girl career(just google them)..
2. Gaming: We're talking video games folks, mainly Firs-person-shooters. Why FPS? I think FPS doug exemplifies the reason: YOUR HEARTS PUMPING, YOUR HANDS ARE SHAKING, BUT IM STILL SHOOTING ITS LIKE BOOM HEADSHOT! Krhm, Cough. FPS's represent the essence of what games are meant to be: stress relief. However on my blog you will find snippets of gaming wisdom (HAHA isnt that sarcastic), mainly concerning Counter-Strike (haven't picked that up for a while, but still great at it), Bad Company 2 and friends. Prolly have a first collection of tips up by tomorrow, look forward to it folks!

So that introduces the first two topics of this blog, the rest will come later next week, but stay tuned for more! Tomorrow I will present a special collection of bad company 2 tips extracted and de-copyrighted from all around the world :D (with some of my own, I might add).

I end my post by attaching a vir- I mean some entertainment for you guys :) Mblaq's Y!
