SHINee – “Lucifer”… goddammit, I LOVE this song!

I discovered a lot of K-pop the last few months. From 13-member boy bands to 9-member *adorable* girl-groups, I’ve been to hooked to some of their catchy tunes, well-produced videos with often great choreography.

And now, this track, SHINee’s latest single from their new album is no. 1 in my mp3 playlist. And no. 2, and no. 3….

…. actually I haven’t listened to anything else since I saw this video day before yesterday. Since then it’s already cracked a million views and continues to rack up thousands of views by the minute. It’s a thumpin’ track!

I have no idea why the song is named after Thor‘s evil brother and yes, when I saw the fashion and the WTF hairstyles… I did go “wuuuhhh?”. But who cares, none of that would matter when the music and choreography is just pure awesome!

The last song I liked from SHINee was “Replay“. I absolutely hated “Ring Ding Dong“… ‘cos it just sounds stupid. (If you want a female group equivalent of stupid, listen to  T-ara’s “Bo Peep Bo Peep“)

Anyway, it would be so cool to hear “Lucifer” in some club but I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon in India.

P.S: What I thought was “roboholic” and “robotronic” is actually their attempt to say “love-aholic” and  “lovatronic”… not that I have any clue what either mean! Oh Engrish…

EDIT: I watch this more now than the actual music video

Love the choreography by Jaewon of Blackbeat and the awesome Rino Nakasone (now with PCD)!

B.o.B — Good old hip-hop from 2010

Me & my older bro love hip-hop from 90’s. We used to listen to it quite a lot growing up in Bahrain. From Fresh Prince & Jazzy Jeff, Skee-Lo, Lucas, Kriss Kross to Naughty by Nature, Tribe Called Quest, Das EFX, and early Tupac. Hip-hop wasn’t all about the pimp-life, b****es, ho’s, bling and the merchandising it is these days. And there was no auto-tune back then.  Rap could have been happy, dark and sometimes even funny. Rap and hip-hop back in the 90’s was also commonly associated with dancing. From the ‘chicken dance‘ to just bobbing your head to the heavy beats.

Of course now, things are different. Which is why it was so refreshing to hear about B.o.B.
