Taken from soshified:

The group that swept the Korean music industry in early 2009 with the "Gee syndrome", SNSD, is aiming to do so again.

SNSD's company SM Entertainment said that SNSD will comeback on the 25th with their second mini album. They are receiving a lot of attention because of their record numbers in album sales, mobile downloads, online charts, and all music charts, as well as creating the record of being number 1 for 9 weeks on KBS Mubank.

SNSD is looking to change once again for this mini album and is also aiming to create another SNSD craze. The company said that the second mini album contains all of SNSD's charms as well as great music that will show the public the power of SNSD.

"We are happy to come back with a new song and a new performance." SNSD said, "We are all working hard so anticipate our transformation and support us."

I hope Honesttea has an aneurysm over this. It's going to be hard as balls to top Gee with "another SNSD craze", imo. I'm pretty excited about this - only 10 daysssssss until it's released. It seems like they're trying to go from cute to sexy - I'm just glad Jess has long hair again; her bobcut was atrocious. YOUR THOUGHTS?

I really realllllllllly liked Daigomi's guides to music that he was posting in his blog a while back(I wish he would update again ), and I said in another blog that I'd write one on the screamo genre. So, I thought I might continue in the same fashion as Daigomi, and write somewhat of a guide to the screamo genre.



The term screamo is a fairly controversial term that gets thrown around left and right almost as much as metal when you're talking about metalcore. Most people equate screamo as to what it's been brought down to today - bands like Underoath or Silverstein, or even as simple as anything with harsh vocals - and dismiss the genre right off the bat. However, screamo/emo-violence/post-hardcore/whatever you want to call it is (as much as i hate resorting to wiki, it's right) redominantly evolved from hardcore punk and a more aggressive offshoot of emo bands like Cap'n Jazz, Moss Icon, Braid and the more popular Sunny Day Real Estate. Most screamo artists - especially the early pioneers of the genre - tended to keep their songs shorter than the norm (usually less than 1:30 as i've noticed). While usually fairly simple in structure at first, the songs were generally more chaotic than that of original emo artists; taking their influence from earlier 80's hardcore bands. As time progressed, as always, many different variations branched out from many different influences - bands that are extremely technical to the point of grind and those that incorporate melodies and instrumental breakdowns similar to post-rock.

Screamo is noted for it's incredibly DIY attitude, usually staying away from labels, management, etc. Where this genre gets me is the live show - it is entirely based around the experience you will have when watching a band live. It's not about getting up on a huge stage with tons of lights and raising up the band, but down on the floor with the audience around interacting the band, full of passion and creating one of the best live atmospheres I've ever witnessed.



Orchid

[image loading]

- This band is one of my favorite bands of all time, and heavy favorite of this genre. Fronted by my favorite vocalist Jayson Green, Orchid kicks in your face with it's fast-tempo and chaotic songs, all with really good lyrics. I realllly wish I could have been into this scene when they were around, all of their live shows I have viewed on youtube are incredible. Orchid is considered by many (including myself ) to be the pioneer of what is known as screamo today, even though their aggressive songs sometimes border on grind.

pg. 99

[image loading]

- I almost didn't include pg.99 because their sound changed so much in between records, but their emphasis is predominantly hardcore punk, so I decided what the hell. pg.99, according to their myspace, were:
    a hardcore punk band from Sterling, Virginia, located in the outskirts of Washington D.C. “We were just a group of friends who all wanted to play music and try to make our lives more incredible”. They formed as a 6 piece in the Winter of 1998 and later became an 8 piece. They went on several full US tours over their 5 year existence. They have 11 records out on many different labels, all of which have become great friends to them. Some include: Reptilian, Level-Plane, Robodog, Happy Couples Never Last, Robotic Empire and Magic Bullet. They preserve the idea that within their music, passion leaks out of every pore possible. Proposing that punk rock remains youthful and full of meaning, it is the most intensely committed endeavor of all our lives, and in the end when all’s said and done… in some shape or form we will live on forever through this music and defining time of our lives.

That really sums up pg.99 well, so I'll just leave some songs for you to decide on.

Neil Perry

[image loading]


- Neil Perry was a screamo band from New Jersey that got their name from a suicidal teenager in the Robin Williams movie "The Dead Poet Society". Playing incredibly raw and fast tempos, Neil Perry laid guitar melodies in the middle of erratic drums to create a type of noise that could only be described as amazing. There aren't that many songs of Neil Perry on youtube, so here's the DVD that they released when they broke up. It encompasses Neil Perry, as well as the whole screamo scene in general, incredibly well.

+ Show Spoiler +



Circle Takes the Square

[image loading]


- As much as I love this genre it honestly took me a little while to really get into these guys - mostly because of the vocals. Now I listen to black metal so I'm not one to complain about vocals, but Kathy's harsh yells were a little too much at first and were almost annoying. However, I sat down to listen to their latest cd As The Roots Undo and I was blown away. They take the fast stylings of screamo and morph it with some math-y progressions and some minimalist instrumentals and create a reallllly good experimental screamo band.

+ Show Spoiler +


Sailboats

[image loading]


- I just discovered this band recently, and they are quickly becoming one of my favorites easily. Sailboats have made 2 songs, and then sadly 2/3 of the band died in a car crash, the only survivor was the drummer who joined with Loma Prieta later. Although they only released 2 songs(song 4 and 53 sec song are not made by Sailboats as a full band, they are side projects by the members), they are better then 90% of the screamo these days. Fast, beautiful, chaotic.

+ Show Spoiler +




The previous bands are what I'd call more of the traditional screamo sound, while the next few bands start expanding into the Screamo/Post-rock and math/grind areas. I won't go on like I did above about these next bands, I'll just list them with a youtube/myspace link.

Screamo/post-hardcore/post-rock/instrumental/other


Screamo/math/grind/emo-violence




also i'm a reaver now woooo~~

So after not playing Starcraft for a good 5 months or so I've been iccuping like mad over the last few days. This week's motw has been good (desti, tau, etc) so I've been massing super hard on destination, playing a lot of pvt and pvz. Anyways I hit D+ and I've been on it for a good while now today, I thought I'd just post the rep as it was a funny PvT where I stole his gas then he scv/marine rushed me in return and, I think, did an illegal stack? I'm not 100% but I think the bug that allows you to stack while moving and attacking is illegal. Anyways here's the rep, and I'm glad I'm at a consistent D+ now while I trek on to at least get to C+ this season!!

Oh hello there!

[image loading]

You're looking mighty swell today. Why you're welcome! Oh come on, you're too kind. So how's it kickin', homeskillet? Wait, say that again? You just bought a guitar and you want to start an alternative rock band? WELL just call me a flaming faggot and slap me right on the ass, it's your lucky day! I just happen to have the skills to help you! What's that, you're completely interested? Well now just follow me!

Let's get started immediately. Now as EVERYONE knows - the only thing that matters in music is style. The first thing we need to do is transform your god-awful appearance and make you into a star~~ Let's start with that hair of yours. Just by looking at you I can tell you're quite the little unoriginal monkey with that straight-down-the-middle-part hairstyle you have.

[image loading]

Tisk, tisk. Let's fix that. The first thing you're going to want to do is get your brush out and make that even part uneven!

[image loading]

That's right, bring it to the sidddeeeee.

[image loading]

Jumpin' gee willickers! I can tell by your expression that you think you look GOOD. Golly gee whiz now if that isn't originality, I don't know what is. Well, I'll be the first to tell you that GIRLS PANTIES WILL DROP AT THE SIGHT OF YOU with that new hairstyle. Hell it will be easy to find new ones too since they all have low self-esteem. Luckily for you I can see you've got the barely-there mustache and chin pubes going on - that will let the girls know that you're not afraid of putting some hair on that face of yours. Goddamn, you'll be a fuckin' machine. It's a true statement.

Now that we've got your hair out of the way, we need to move on to your bland taste in clothing. I can see that you're taste in hairstyles segues into your clothing choices as well. If you want everyone to see how well you play your 4chord songs and play your piano, you're going to need to spice it up! The first thing you're going to have to do is tighten up that crotchal region. Go ahead, put them on.

[image loading]

Feel good, don't they. And trust me you can't get that cradling effect anywhere else. I know, I've tried it just isn't the same. With your genitals covered, let's move on. The next step in bringing about your blatant conceit is your top. No not your hats dumbass, your shirts. It's a given that you need something else than that bland black t-shirt you have on. Go ahead, pick out a nice button up shirt and don't forget to button it up all the way!

[image loading]

What are you doing? Who the hell do you think you are, Richard Gere? Button that up like I told you, we're not even done with the shirts yet! Ugh.. Now let's take a look - well at least you rolled up your sleeves, most fashion newbies don't get that the first time, I'll give you that. Onwards! The next step is OBVIOUSLY picking out a vest. Now at this point I would suggest picking up one at Target as they're usually around $20 and you're DEFINITELY not ready for thrift store shopping. Ohhhh no you're definitely not ready for must smelling bargains and cheap records of Bob Dylan. Here take this black vest that has a little design on the front, put it on.

[image loading]

Ooooh yeah looking good there slick. I see you've noticed already those deceiving pockets, or should I say LACK of pockets am I right? Oh ho ho I crack myself up, I should blog about it.. I digress...hey hold on there a second. Why so sad?

[image loading]

What's that you say? You still don't feel like you're ready to sway those hips and swoon jailbait with your false harmonic voice? Well I'm just going to stop you RIGHT THERE! I have a secret..more powerful than all of the things that I am teaching you today. You see this scarf? It is no ordinary scarf - it is a scarf made only from the purest of virgin hair. Put this on right now!

[image loading]

Feel the power of unladen sexiness flow through you, my lad. It feels good doesn't it. That, my surprised youngin' is called The Placebo Effect - trademark by me. I know it's a fantastic concept, I've thought about bottling it and selling it in cans and calling it Redbull. What's that you? That's a swell idea? Well I already know that, I'm just afraid of the repercussions of said actions..

Well! I'd say we've come quite a ways, wouldn't you my boy? How about we take a look at your guitar there. Wait wait wait, before you touch it - take off the scarf please. We don't want any of the raw sexy manbeast getting caught up in the strings now would you? No I didn't think so, so take it off and pick up your axe.

[image loading]

Oh come on now boy, it's not like your wife just gave birth and you're holding your son for the first time! Hold it like you would hold your woman the night you conceived!

[image loading]

Now THAT'S more like it, lookin' like a real couple there I'd say. My you're learning at an incredibly fast rate there; I'd go as far as to say you're faster then all of The Fray themselves! Now all you need to do is learn 4 chords, steal a melody from Satriani but put it in a different key, and you'll be living the life in no time! Oh and don't forget to take pictures for myspace while you're at it! There's a mirror in here so why don't you go on ahead.

[image loading]

Oh yeah lookin' swell. Say there, time is up and that seems to be all that I am able and willing to teach you. A job well done on my part, I must say. You may be thinking to yourself "but what if I miss my favorite bands like Bal-Sagoth and Daughters and pg.99?!". Well sonny, I'm not gonna lie - it's going to be tough. I would suggest going to the mall right now and grabbing some Coldplay and The Spill Canvas. Once you pop in X&Y you'll understand what I mean when I say "holy shit what was I thinking with that music I used to listen to that took skill?". I must be leaving, so let me get a good look at you before I go.

[image loading]

Holy Christ, I am a modern-day miracle worker.

So 2 days or so after my last blog we gained around 22more inches of snow(close to 4 feet total), and none of it has melted away yet as it's stayed a temperate average 0-5 degrees F. I went out and took some more pictures as last time - nothing special; albeit we have these wicked awesome icicles hanging from the roof of the house that are like 4 feet long. I kind of regret taking the little car and not my jeep cherokee up here; at least that has 4 wheel drive and won't get stuck in the snow even after clearing it all away -_-.

As I said last time, my parents live around 2 hours west of Redding, CA - halfway between Redding and Eureka; and are just below 6000ft elevation.

One of the icicles - my arm for reference. Note that I'm 6'4 and I have long arms/hands - this icicle is a little over 3 feet :X.

stalacticles; the ones on the right are almost 5 feet long as they continue past the image
