My Korean coworker said I reminded her of Tablo and linked me to this

I'm not sure what to say to that.

It has an old school West-coast hip-hop feel under the modern production.

I think probably because LA always had a bigger Korean presence than NYC-Chicago.

Somehow the atmosphere is a little different though.

Soccer fever

Strangely enough, seeing Cha Bum-Kun kick a soccer ball through a ring of fire on a farm field on running man after being 25 years retired has increased my respect for soccer players more than anything else.


He unexpectedly showed up after they called his wife on the show earlier as a joke. The challenge was actually intended for Park Ji-Sung who was standing beside him.

Moer like ASS of angels

I've decided that now AoA is basically the most lascivious kpop band ever.





Also, there's a cat.

Series 1: Houston vs OKC

NBA Playoffs are about to start and 8th seed Houston and 1st seed OKC are matched up in the first round, which is expected to be a great series.

The Houston Rockets are a rising star in the West, they are the youngest and least experienced team in the league. Everyone was expecting a rebuild year, but they've managed to pull through to the playoffs and exceed the performance of every team in history with comparable ages and experience.

Oh yeah, and captain James Harden was traded to Houston at the beginning of this season from OKC because they didn't want to pay out a max contract for him. So he's got a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.

The Rockets play a game reminiscent of D'Antoni's offense, a system that famously brought the Steve Nash captained Suns into the conference finals in 2004-2006. Also there was something called Linsanity, you may have heard of it.

It's a tempo based offense where they won't shoot with great efficiency or make good ball stops, but other teams that aren't used to the same high paced play won't be able to keep up..and older teams might just collapse from all the running.

Problem: OKC is also a team of young players and they'll be perfectly happy to match Houston possession for possession.

Contrast to Houston, OKC is actually a defensive minded team with the (sometimes) elite defender Perkins being virtually a zero on offense and elite defender Sefelosha being able to score spot up 3s at a decent percentage but otherwise also a nil on offense.

So it is scary that in the regular season OKC was consistently ranked up top in offense. OKC's offense revolves around the Westbrook-Durant Iso System. Westbrook is ludicrously fast while also being able to hit bad shots at a respectable percentage. Unguardable Kevin Durant and his lanky frame is faster than anyone who's bigger than himself while being able to shoot around anyone faster than himself at a deadly efficiency. That makes them a mismatch in more than 90% of all one-on-one situations and carried them to 1st seed in the West.

As for the coaches, Scott Brooks is a coach who commands great respect from his players but doesn't know how to run plays and makes stupid rotations, compared to Houston's McHale who commands great respect from his players but doesn't know how to run plays and makes stupid rotations = EVEN MATCH.

Houston actually has a decent chance at pulling through in a 7 game series, but in the first game they were outscored 120 - 91. That's very troubling not only because of the point delta but because for such an offensive minded team, 91 points is a pittance. If OKC defenders have their offense solved, then there isn't much else going for the Houston team. The only thing to do now is wait and watch and see how they adapt.

...but you wouldn't have heard of her!

 Her voice is like a feather.

And she charmingly can't dance at all.

Pros:
1) Great atmosphere
2) Great soundtrack
3) Great concept art

Cons:
1) Gonzo

It's easy to tell who can sing in the group

(They're the ones with proper mikes: TaeTiSeo + Sica)

These girls will sing unsupported depending on the intensity of the performance (e.g. if there's a lot of dancing involved or if they have to do several acts in a row). Everyone else performs either partially or fully supported.

For anyone who's never worked with audio equipment before, here are some things about microphones: if it's not right in a performer's face, it's not being used properly; if the top isn't directed at the mouth, it's not being used properly.

If you hear the premix mike tracks from live performances, Taeyeon is fucking loud; she's got real pipes.

(Well okay, all of them can sing "above average", but most of them aren't there on account of their singing abilities)

Their new album dropped on New Year's, performances at that time were fully synced, presumably to get them familiar with the live choreo first.

They haven't gotten all the live vocals nailed for I've Got a Boy yet. Probably because the dance for it is more physically intensive than normal.

(The choreo is from Nappytabs, if anyone cares)

Dear Houston..

..don't know whether it is the coaching or the players,

But when it comes down to crunch time,

Can you have a play that isn't just Harden playing Hero Ball into all the defenders?

Or you know, going iso into Lebron fucking James?

Three times in a row?

Thanks.

So who thought pairing an idol contestant with Taeny was a good idea?

Because they came on and stole the damn show.



Also, Tiffany as Lil' Kim made me smile.

Border push

I wonder which culture is really invading here..

Legendary

Who are these 1500 people that clicked thumbs down??

Was this a Ke$ha reject song or something?

Escalation

Wait, how are they going to top this for the next movies?

Real laughter was produced

So, Yeezy has a new track out.

Kanye West, master of oration, has outdone himself again.

In that pussy so deep I coulda drowned twice

Rose gold Jesus piece with the brown ice

Eating good, vegetari’ with the brown rice

Girls kissing girls, cause it’s hot right

But unless they use a strap-on then they not dykes

MY HEART

Omg.

I AM NOT ASHAMED

Let's go Canada!

So she's not Sheryl Nome or Lacus Clyne

If I had to compare I'd say...

Eureka.
