No iPhone in Korea…

Not yet, that is…

I was looking at the list of countries that the 2nd version of the iPhone will be released in on July 11th.

What sparked the desire to jump over to Apple’s iPhone page was a post by CBBQTT (aka Chief BBQ Taste Tester or in the corporate world: wonderkid CEO) Matt Mullenweg of this (WordPress) blogging company fame posting on the WordPress.com corporate blog “iPhone Updates: Prologue and Mdot.”  Mullenweg was basically saying WordPress was updating the mobile interface in preparation for the larger release of iPhones to the world.  A smart move in my book even though some might say it’s jumping on the iPhone bandwagon.

Skips, I think…at first thought it was part of the song, but repeats too much to be intentional…

I actually don’t like the song that much, but the video isn’t bad. 

9 Retirement Killers

Posted in Financial, Interesting..., Work by therealsouthkorea on July 5th, 2008

We may not have to worry if the CERN Collider starting in August ends the world, but more realistically, this advice will be good for a comfortable retirement.

1. Cracking your nest egg before retirement.

2. Spending your retirement money way too early.

3. Having no clue about how much to save. (more…)

My favorite Big Bang song “This Love”

Posted in Entertainment, Korea life, Music, Video by therealsouthkorea on July 5th, 2008

However, you know the sampling is probably why…

Using Maroon 5’s music makes this song for me…not that Maroon 5 is probably happy about it.

**Final note: Looks like the original version of the song (not this English version) was taken off YouTube due to claims it was copyright infringement.  Guess a million other artists need to reconsider as well since they are all on the site with the permission & intelligence of their studio to spread the music so that the artist can actually get more play & potentially more sales for the artist.

Big Bang’s “We belong together” with the chorus by Park Bom

The chorus sung by Park Bom is actually why I saved this one.

Get ready for an onslaught of Korean Music Videos

Posted in Blogs - Japan Expats, Japanese life, Korea life, Music, Opinions by therealsouthkorea on July 5th, 2008

I was in a Korean Music Videos mood today.  So, I surfed through a bunch via YouTube.com and threw a bunch of them them in here.  I know some of them are a little cheesy, but I’m o.k. with that since they’re for my ears.  If you enjoy as well, that’s fine, but these help me remember what I didn’t mind hearing/seeing earlier in terms of recent the Korean music front.

after the post: Noticed a few click overs from WordPress Tag’s category music.  This Japanese Jpop artist post wasn’t bad: http://halfpain.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/aiko-sakuranotoki I think the artist’s name is aiko sakuranotoki.
