Video Bar: K-POP

It's been a while since I posted on my blog, let alone updated the video bar. Since I was mentioning the recent increase in the availability and popularity of kpop in America in my last post I decided it was time I introduced you guys to kpop music. The videos in the bar and all of the videos on Billboard100KpopMnet's Channel23 have english subtitles. Although they may not be the exact same, they help when listening. Now it's your chance to discover your favorite kpop artist and there are PLENTY to choose from!

Video Bar: Takin' it to Taiwan

So, after a long time I've finally changed it up with the Video Bar on the side panel. Now it features songs from popular Taiwanese artist Jay Chou. He is a super famous singer/songwriter, as well as actor, throughout Asia. While he may not be as well known in the States, some people might recognize him from the 2011 Hollywood film The Green Hornet where he played Kato, the sidekick.

So, I actually decided to put up a Video Bar. This is an amazing act considering its me — technology challenged me— that is. Right now it has a couple of recent-ish Malayalam film songs. I was trying to pick specific songs, but it wasn't working so you're just going to have to make due with what's there. Anyway, you should check out the songs. I think I'm going to change it up every now and then and have different languages and different styles of music (all Asian of course). Either way I'm starting off with my own bias and going with Malayalam music (even though these aren't my favorite songs). You should check them out, along with the blog, and stay tuned for when I change up the videos.
