In this show, I explore a musical genre I know absolutely nothing about. I had originally planned this show to be early blues, but my good friend John Lee appeared literally at 9pm the night before. He sent me a text on Wednesday, in town on business, wanting to get together for dinner/drinks tonight. As my sculpture class was huge (5pm pouring bronze) and my radio show from 8-10pm, I simply couldn’t cut away. I could drop my radio show, but that would be failing my word. What could I do? I asked John to come on my radio show and spin tunes with me. He took it to a whole new level, by teaching me the DEEP genre of KPop. John did the playlist and the theme. I had no idea KPop had so many facets beyond “GANGNAM.” He showed me a whole new world of music. I’ll have to have him back to get to the deep end of the pool, so to speak.
For the record, here’s my favorite KPop track of the night, “Yanghwa BRDG (Bridge)”
