I don't know how many Palestinians think along the same lines as he does, but I follow him because his take on the Israel Palestine conflict does seem well informed and is interestingly different from a lot of the stuff that circulates on Mastodon […]

Slowly repairing the damage done to the country with Brexit, oddly the Brexitiers are silent on this, perhaps because coming out of Horizon was a particularly self harming idea.

VIVIZ -- Eunha

Eunha looks so pretty here. Her action is an unwitting reminder of a great VIVIZ song!

In connection with the post I have just made, https://c.im/@jemmesedi/115012825619331824, I note that there are many aspects of the disappearing DEI culture which I will not miss.

These include shadow history and sociology teaching by student life departments […]

Kpop idol Eunha in a three quarter length still from her group VIVIZ in performance. She wears frayed denim shorts and a sleeveless white crop top beneath which a black crop top is visible. Around her neck is a silver necklace. Her blonde hair is styled in a bob with bangs. She is leaning forward, placing her hand near her hips, and putting her weight on her right leg as she turns and inclines her head back a little to look over her left shoulder.

VIVIZ -- Eunha

I searched my own history and discovered that I have made 65 posts mentioning Eunha.

Obviously, this is fanboy behaviour.

I will resist the pressure to psychoanalyze or even pathologize this behaviour and focus instead on these thoughts:

- I am lucky […]

Exuberant, euphoric, overflowing with summeriness Kpop from a group that had been given up for dead after members leaving and contract termination.

H1-KEY -- Summer Was You
https://youtu.be/1NeLQ-Wl5QU?si=fCrdGPGJ9Ox7-xDn

One of two summer songs this year that I have really enjoyed. The pop rock sound and a whiff of nostalgia makes thttps://youtu.be/zeAtkPZSYBk?si=r8dHcNW7Vc3pbpYbhis a winner.

Speaking of boy group songs with summer vibes, I have to post another of my favourites:

SHINee -- View

Don't hate me because you wanted to post this too!

#Kpop #SHINee #View #BoyGroups

Thanks to @Erzbet for organizing #KpopMonday and choosing the theme #SummerVibes .

I follow girl groups for the most part, but every so often a boy group song hits the spot with a distinctively masculine energy.
For example, this wonderful song full of summer vibes:

Supercute!

KEP1ER -- Xiaioting

I don't know the source for the text, but I cannot imagine it being voiced in anything other than an American accent.

These arrests outrage me for two reasons.

In the first place, they represent an appalling repression of free speech. I disagree with the supporters of Palestine Action, but I also believe strongly in upholding their right to express their opinions.

Bartok: Suite, Op. 14 - Alexandra Burch

Even though this piece was published more than a century ago, to my ear it still sounds refreshingly modern. As I listen to it on a loop, I feel myself breaking out of a late romantic sound world which I do […]

Bring Back the Kitchen Radio Smartphones and Spotify may have rendered AM/FM radio obsolete, but re-embracing the device in my household reminded me that there’s joy in letting yourself be surprised.

Think you have every appliance you need in your kitchen? You probably don’t. And won’t until you bring back the radio. Not a streaming device, but an old school AM/FM radio. Read more from @Dwell:

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen VIVIZ – Full Moon.

This song has been on repeat with me over the past week, so I was pleased to see this concert clip released. I do wish the […]
