In my never-ending quest to come up with new and (hopefully) enjoyable content, I’ve decided to put together a collection of all my favorites from the past month. In part because I thought it would be a fun thing to do and also because I have a really hard time remembering things and I thought this would be a good way to remind myself of everything I’ve watched/listened to/ squealed over this past month. This way when I’m sitting down at the end of the year, trying to remember everything I loved about 2018, I might actually be able to come up with something more than a blank wall inside an empty brain. (Wouldn’t that be nice switch!) So to kick things off, here’s my list of January favorites. (Woohoo!) Continue reading “ZOMBIE’S TOP PICKS: January 2018”
About a month ago, my amazing friend Young Ajummah and I were wandering around KCON NY, talking about this and that and as we were wandering around the Prudential Center in the sweltering heat, an idea came to us. We both realized that while we both shared a passion for Korean music, we had both chosen to focus our passion on more specific areas. Where Young Ajummah is pretty much an expert on all things R&B, hip hop and indie, I’m more of an idol group uhh… Continue reading “Tater Tot Music Talk: Monsta X x Millic”
We’re barely a week into March and already I feel like my poor fangirl heart is about to explode. Between the overwhelming number of K-Pop comebacks that have already happened since the beginning of the month, and the number of comebacks I’m looking forward to, it’s kinda hard to imagine how I’m going to survive the coming weeks. Of course, being the devoted fangirl I am, I’m determined to muster my strength and soldier on as best I can. (Though it might not hurt to keep a defibrillator on standby, just in case.) Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: Time-Traveling Cops and Too Much Pretty to Handle”
As January starts to draw to a close, several groups have started dropping hints about upcoming comebacks. While it may still be too early for several of these groups to begin their merciless teasing, there’s still plenty to squee over as anticipation for these February comebacks begins to build. Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: February’s K-Pop Comeback Lineup”
You know, it’s really hard for me to sit down at the end of a month and decide which album it is that I love them most. Especially when that month has been crammed full of the most amazing comebacks! Trying to decide which album I love the most is like trying to decide which drink to order at the local coffee shop… Each one has its merit and really it all comes down to whatever fits my mood at the moment.
The same can definitely be said of this past month’s K-Pop comebacks. Each one has its merit and each one satisfies my different moods. When I’m in the mood for some good old-fashioned, make my heart skip a beat, 90’s boy-band goodness, I turn to SHINee’s 1 of 1. When I want something a bit edgier but fun, I head straight to Monsta X’s The Clan: Part 2. When I just want to feel a warm and fuzzy, I turn on 100%’s Time Leap and my heart gets all squishy as it swells with all the “I’m so happy their finally back” feels. And then there all the rookie singles, like SF9’s Feeling Sensation, or HIGH 4:20’s “Hook가” or BASTARZ “Selfish & Beautiful Girl,” which are perfect for a quick K-Pop fix. And when I simply want to die, I turn on BTS’ WINGS and wave goodbye to my soul as it departs from my mortal frame.
With so much great music out there, you can see why choosing a single album to talk about can be difficult. The choices really are almost endless and I love them all. Which is why I’m asking you to help me decide which of this past month’s comebacks should be lauded as the best. All you have to do is cast your vote for your top 3 (because who can really choose just one?) in the poll below.
Meeting up with Lola after Sunday night’s Red Carpet, we made our way over to the Staples Center, to join in the tens of thousands of other fans in line, waiting to get in. With so many people attending the final concert of KCON 2016, it took us a while to get in and find our seats. By the time we were all settled in, the opening acts had already started which meant we had almost no time to wait before the concert actually started. Continue reading “KCON 2016: Zombie’s Adventures in LA – Day 5, Part 2”
Though it’s really hard for me to believe that in less than 24 hours I’ll be in LA, the truth is I will be and that means KCON 2016 LA is only a few days away. I’ve been trying really hard not to let my inner fangirl get the better of me these past few days and I think that (so far) I’ve done a pretty good job. Sure, I might be a little bit excited about the fact that I’m only days away from seeing so many of my beloved groups again… And I might be just a tad excited about being on so many panels this year (4, to be exact)… And maybe I’m just slightly excited about being able to spend the next few days with some of most favorite people in the world… But I really haven’t let all of that get to me too much… I don’t think… Well… Maybe I have a little bit… Maybe… *ahem* Excuse me for a moment… Continue reading “KCON 2016: WATCH OUT LA, THE ZOMBIE’S ON HER WAY!”
Once again I find myself struggling to decide which tune to feature in this week’s post. Not that I’m complaining. I mean why on earth would I whine about having too much great music to choose from? That would just be silly! Since I can’t decide which tune I love the best, I think I’m going to have you ask you to decide for me. Continue reading “TUNE OF THE WEEK: HELP ME DECIDE… PLEASE!!!”
