Friday Focus - Music #kpop #boybands #random

I know I've shared my tastes in music again, but I thought I'd share again.  My tastes are very eclectic and range from bagpipes to hard rock.  Instead of listing the individual songs, though, I decided to share what I've got on repeat right now.

Oneus - Valkyrie

Stray Kids - Miroh

New Kids on the Block - Boys in the Band

Black Violin in Atlanta #concert #awesome @BlackViolinMusic

My daughter and I got to go to this concert last night.  IT WAS AWESOME!  I captured 3 videos of the performance, which I've posted on my youtube channel  I was a bit late getting this post done but feel free to check out the videos!

#24K Still with 24U - Atlanta #24KintheUSA #concert #kpop #Atlanta #트푸케이

I wasn't able to use my little point and shoot camera for the concert, so this is all phone quality. This was the first time I've ever done high touch/group photo.  They're just as squishy up close as they are on the screen.

I did get a couple videos of some of the songs.  Kisu wanted us to enjoy the last portion of the show without video/camera, but I couldn't resist getting them doing Superfly.  Here's the link to my playlist.

The boys did an awesome job and I do hope they're able to do another tour in the future.    If they do, hopefully they'll have time in between travel/shows to be able to tour.  I know  Hongseob would love the World of Coca-Cola.  We could send Jinhong to one of the bigger malls for the Apple store.  Cory/Jeonguk might enjoy visiting one of the local rap/hip-hop recording studios (and artists).  I'm sure with more thought I'd come up with something for Kisu & Chanagsun, but my brain has stopped functioning for now. 

Anyway, my girls and I had a blast at the concert.  I'm glad the boys got the chance to tour the US.  I wish all the best for them in the future and look forward to seeing what they come up with.

24K in Atlanta #KPop #투포케이 #Supporttheboys #TourInTheUSA #24k @24K__OFFICIAL

If you've read different posts on my blog, you'll know that my daughter got me into KPop several years ago.  Since then, I've found many groups that I really enjoy supporting.  24K is one of those groups.  They've changed members over the years as some have left and others have joined.  The group itself is about 6 years old.  They all recently participated in an idol reboot show in Korea.  It was meant to help them promote their group as well as to show what they can do.  One of the members (Soo) has even debuted as a solo artist recently.

I'd really love to see them get support for their tour here in the US.  They're well received in Germany and other countries.  In my opinion, there's no reason they can't be supported here.  I'm primarily shooting for here in Atlanta, but there's more than just Atlanta on their tour.  I'm not impressed by their promotions company, but you can find more information about their tour here.  Tickets are actually being sold by Live Nation.

In the meantime, I'll leave their most recent MV here for your enjoyment.

Happy Holidays! #music #Christmas #familytime #LindseyStirling

So, with the holiday happening next week, I'll be taking a break from posting.  Instead, I'll leave you with some pre-written posts sharing music of the holidays.  After seeing her in concert last month, I thought this one was a great one to start with.

Music Monday #BTSxBBMAs #BTS #KPop #congratulations

Congratulations to BTS for taking the Top Social Artist (social media) award last night at the BBMA awards.

Monday Music #KPop #CNBlue #BeOk

Just because I like the song..

Music Monday #MusicMonday #K-Pop #Spotify

I thought I'd share one of my Spotify playlists for today.  Yes, it's that again.  Husband doesn't get it, but that's ok.  I'm using my enjoyment of it to get me to do something new.. learn Korean.  I'll at least be able to read/write. :)  Eventually, I'd like to take a real class, for now I'll make do with the Korean language books I bought.  Husband said it sounds like music from the 80's.. maybe that's why I like it.. after all I was a teen in the '80s.. ugh. I'm old.

Off I go! #10K #ACDC #Thunderstruck #runDisney

Love this song and the Blue Angels, so I felt it appropriate for today's theme. 

Merry Christmas! My #1 pick for the holiday #BingCrosby #DavidBowie

Wednesday's Holiday Music Choice #Snoopy #RedBaron

Holiday music top 3 countdown #BoneyM

This year for the week before Christmas I'm going to share my top three choices for Christmas music.  If you've been with the blog for long, they're probably predictable.  Either way, enjoy!

Music Monday #allaboutme #Vixx #TinaTurner #LouisArmstrong

Since my last post was about my playlist on shuffle, I thought I'd talk about a couple of things I enjoy when it comes to music (other than music in general).

When it comes to female singers, I like the R&B/Soul/Blues type voice.  Top of my list is Tina Turner.  Looking at my phone you'll find Macy Gray, Adele, Alanis Morrisette, Natasha Bedingfield and Meghan Trainer.  All have that type of voice that I enjoy to listen to (regardless of the song).  That doesn't mean I don't enjoy other artists, those are just my top choices.

For the men, I love the rumble.  That probably dates back to my grandfather and the fact that when he sang he rumbled.  Top of the list for those is Louis Armstrong.  The catch with these is that most, though, are part of other groups.  Looking at my playlist, you'd find Righteous Brothers, Pentatonix with Avi (their bass), Vixx with Ravi (rapper who rumbles when he rarely sings) and Bryan Adams (not quite a bass, more of the blues sound).

All of that said, I do love music in general, including classical and no, I don't sing.

Ok, I am weird, thanks #music #international #eclectic

I shuffled all genres of music on my phone together and it came up with this.

Fierce girls rock #KPop #4Minute #crazy

I'm liking this song, for whatever reason..

Just because I can #kpop #BTS #BangtanBoys

I've been sharing about K-Pop over on the Teen's blog - My Georgia Teens.  Just because I can, I wanted to share this one here..
