Mystery solved! I wish I could own one T^T Found them on GMarket~ although I'm quite sure spending that much on a toy is not terribly wise... LOL.

If only I were a famous K-pop singer with psychopathic adoring fans.

Also, 2PM ♥ at the MNet Awards :DDDDDDDDD

and even better tomorrow."

Why thank you, BART conductor. I hope I do.

I'm sharing this here instead of bukibeat because this isn't a personal rip, heh. (Although, I'm adding the album to my wishlist, hint hint!)

Anywho - BALLAS HOUGH BAND! I needed to pull myself from the ridiculousness of K-Pop for a while, and found this fun pop group. I am very biased and admit that I started listening to them because the lead vocalists and guitarists are Mark Ballas and Derek Hough (♥) from Dancing with the Stars. The band's other members are Sam Marder (bass guitar), Harry Sullivan (drums) and Emily Grace (keyboards, background vocals). I love Emily's voice and wish she was more predominant in the songs.

I like to describe BHB as a diet version of SongsAboutJane!Maroon5 XD Most of their songs are light and upbeat, though a couple do have a harder rock sound and emotional background. Their debut song was "Do It For You" which is easily a favorite. My personal loves from the album are "Longing For" and "Closer", both slower tempo ballads.

They recently performed their new single "Move" on DWTS, but I have no idea why they decided to go into the techno-dance genre. Quite almost a big facepalm :\ UGH AUTOTUNE, WHYYYYYY. We already know they can dance - I prefer them rocking it out on their instruments! (Check behind the cut later for some lives :D)

PEACE.

I have an essay to write and it's due on Sunday but I only have the facts down and 1 of 3 different issues drafted. I'm swamped at work and should be prepping for tomorrow's training so that I look half-knowledgeable when teaching the first years. I have 239482 different projects at work that are either

not started
not completed
not reasonable
not budgeted for
non-chargeable, or
all of the above

I only managed about 4 hours of sleep last night because my blankets couldn't fight the cold.

It's nearing midnight and instead of crossing those off my list...




... I redid my LJ header :D halffling halffling halffling

TY shukumi for sharing the lovely originals ♥ GOOGIMS~
