Going where several other blogs have gone before.
In my over 2 years of being stuck in this swallowing, gargantuan pit known as “K-pop”, I’ve accumulated listens and knowledge from plenty of different artists within the sphere. I experienced my BTS phase, laughed at my fair share of Jopping memes, and completely ruined my Spotify now that it recommends me nothing but music… Continue reading Ateez and Me: A Humble Atiny’s Testimony
Weezer needs no introduction, they’ve only been tuning and flexing their craft since their sucker punch of a debut album, 1994’s Blue Album. Blue Album was one of the defining records of the 90s, a sublime mix of alternative rock and grunge to create a bittersweet album of electrifying riffs and heartfelt lyrics. The band… Continue reading All Weezer Covers, Ranked & Reviewed
I’m a simple human being - I watch a good music video, I gain a greater appreciation for the song. As someone who is largely dependent on music for their mental health, I really love music videos. They enhance a track’s impact by providing a visual for what it’s trying to convey, which is why… Continue reading 3 K-Pop Music Videos that Go Hard
I’ve been in the Vocaloid community almost long enough to be a card-carrying member. It started with stumbling on a few Miku tuned covers of video game tracks (who knew a virtual singer could cover a fan rendition of the Final Fantasy theme so well?) and spun off into a more than passive interest that… Continue reading Nine Songs I Would Like to See Covered in Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage (And Their Respective Groups)
It’s a new year, and you know what that means. I have more K-pop to talk about! I must confess I did not listen to as much as I wanted to from July to December of 2021, nor did I have time to write about as many comebacks as I wanted. So I am sorry… Continue reading A Look At K-pop (July 2021-December 2021)
So I follow a lot of K-pop artists now. A lot. I passed my one year anniversary of falling into this abyssal music genre a few months ago, and I have really grown in my knowledge since my last K-pop article. I can name all 23 members of NCT from their faces, which I think might… Continue reading A Look at K-pop (Jan 2021-Jun 2021)
We are back, and by this point you should know the drill. 9 albums I liked in one month.
So you know the drill with this series. Like last time, I listened to a lot of albums this last month, and I'm gonna recommend the ones I like the most. I listened to way less this time. maybe like 20 or 30. I might still have a problem. Out of the loop? Check out… Continue reading DK Recommends: Same amount of albums this time
About a month ago, in late March, I was getting very, very, bored of the music I’ve been listening to. A year stuck inside has made me listen to a lot of music while working, gaming, and all that, and even my old favorites - standby albums and playlists that have kept me sane through… Continue reading DK Recommends: I listened to 81 albums in a month. I don’t recommend that.
BTS dropped their new album, BE, the day I had finished all my in-person classes at college and was getting ready to go home after a very taxing semester. I remember walking out of my last final, going to my dorm to drag all of my very heavy stuff down by myself (outsiders weren’t allowed… Continue reading My Thoughts on BE: BTS’ New Short and Sweet Album
I can never stress enough how much these musicials means to me
I know what you’re thinking. Who is this new Story Arc writer, and why are they writing an article about K-pop? I thought this blog was cool… I was reluctant to kick off my Story Arc debut with this article for fear of my readers having this exact thought, as K-pop generally doesn’t have a… Continue reading Hajima, Lynx! An Intro to My K-pop Obsession
Glass Animals was something that I accidentally stumbled upon years ago during my awkward and cynical high school years, back when I had no money or a stable job. Everything I wanted to get into had to come to me, so I rarely sought anything out. One rainy night, I drove home and put on… Continue reading Glass Animals Albums: Ranked, Reviewed
