[New Albums] Musicians at work

Some news about albums I caught on.

On her 2009 travel in Hokkaido Oh Ji Eun started thinking about making more lively songs. She gathered her session musicians Jung Joon Yeob(guitar), Park Min Soo(keyboard), Park Soon Chul(bass) and Shin Dong Hoon(drum) and formed 'Oh Ji Eun and The Wolves' (after 'Oh Ji Eun and The Blockheads' was disliked by the members). Their digital single '미리듣기' came out yesterday, July 21, and consist of the title song '너에게 그만 빠져들 방법을 이제 가르쳐줘타이틀곡' and '아저씨 미워요'. They also have an official homepage.

New team Yellow Monsters decided their first album release to be June 22. The self-titled album consists of 10 tracks.

After Yozo postponed the release of her album due performances, cf, broadcasts etc, she's working now on it next to her radio broadcast. If everything goes well, it may be released beginning of next month already.

Super Kidd are coming back with their 3rd album. No release date yet, an event will take place at Kubrick in The Forest August 1. They'll talk about their 3rd album and it will probably be released after it.

Also Jaejoo Boys are at finishing their 4th album (mixing process is said to be finished) and it will be released after Jisan Valley Rock Festival.

After 3 years Daybreak will release their 2nd album. It is called 'Aurora' and has already a full track list and title song here. There is also a full concert planned for August 29 at Sang Sang Madang.

Han Hee Jung started the recording of her new single. It will probably consist of 5 tracks and be released around October.

Casker is also working on a new single, seem to have some troubles and a lot of worries though. For the first time, they take external lyrics and work in an outside studio for a longer time.

Not so new news

I have been away from blogging for a while, I'm sorry for that.
I didn't really kept up on the news that time, so I will just try to summarize what got under my nose.

- Younha and Super Kidd filmed a CF for chicken together. Younha's 'Password 486' lyrics have been remodeled a bit and Super Kidd changed their positions. You can watch it here.

- There have been lots of updates on Mintpaper's LIFE. Mainly about the A-Live Concert, preorder and such stuff. I uploaded the teaser here. I just want to count up some background stuff that has been mentioned and I thought may be (more or less) interesting.
Besides the Artists of the 16 songs on the track list, a lot of performers(playing the background instruments and chorus and such) and 10 labels participated on this compilation. In the case of 10cm, Lala Sweet and Serengeti, the songs have been discovered at performances and decided to be on the compilation. So it was not easy at first to decide on one theme that fits to them all.
Sweet Sorrow's Sung Jin Hwan worked for the very first time together with Serengeti.
No Reply's Wook Jae worked for the first time as a producer for Lala Sweet.
Joa Band was the very first team that got in mind of the organizer when they decided for the compilation LIFE.
Earip's song 'our house singer' are episodes about her all day life with her cat 'Nawa', so the cat sounds in the song are not recorded accidentally.
Omega3's Go Kyung Cheon participates at Lonely H's Band's song playing the keyboard.
For a better feel for the lyrics, Autumn Holiday's song has been simplified compared to the demo.

- 10cm got Model Jung Hye Sun as their stylist. As she liked the band from the very first time, she decided to try out as their stylist. You can watch her 'challenge' on the Elle homepage, here.

- Some Musicians of Happy Robots are currently working on their 2nd album, which includes Naru (who finished his mixing process, bought a new guitar and will have a haircut soon and a profile photo shoot tomorrow), Daybreak (rumor has it that it will come out around July), No Reply (who are at the preparing status) and Tearliner (who also works on his Travel Essay).
Besides that, No Reply's Sungwan also participated with '완벽한 추억' at Lee Seung Hwan’s 10nd album and Joe Brown will be the director for KOXX’ music video ‘Trouble Maker’.

[Super Kidd] Digital Single for Snowboarders

After their special summer album 'Music Show', Super Kidd comes back with a special digital single for snowboarders in winter 2009. The single has been released 22th already but just got a music video later. The song, produced by guitarist Jwanikim(좌니킴), reminds of an exciting snowboard ride in the fresh snow, so it has been decided that Korea's best snowboarders Bong Min Ho and Lee Ki Young will appear in the music video that was be shot in New Zealand.


some nice carving.

[Super Kidd] Hacking on the 63Building

it's a bit old, but still.

In September a video called '63Building hacking' became the subject of several sites, blogs and communities. In that video some anonymous men in black were hacking the 63Building, not for real, but is was counted as a clever idea and cought the attention of the Netizens. Normally when you would hack a building, you want to steal data or money, but these guys didn't want to steal anything - they wanted to play games.
2 videos exist, one is the hacking of another building, stating 'We hit on your building next' and the other one with an address 'itispossible.co.kr'. At that time there was nothing behind that address besides the sentence 'What shall we do next?' and a counter.
With the release of another video some days later the case became clear: Super Kidd was advertising Coca Cola Zero.
