New year, new place, new start, fresh attitude. It seems that everything about my life has pressed the reboot button. I enjoy new beginnings though. The feeling of uncertainty, that exhilaration which resonates through my body as I plunge into the unknown realms of life's adventures, is welcome anytime for me.
Well, some people will know that when I say new things, I could be quite selective, but moving on.
People asked me recently, regarding how in the world I'm finding these songs. Well, I find them on Youtube as you can see. One only needs to maybe go through three or four links and voila, there's the next exit to the underground-indie country.
So here's T.A Copy. This song is called, Cute But Annoying.
It's a fun song. If you don't understand the lyrics, allow me to narrate. In its most basic form, it's a song about a friend whose nose hair has grown too long so that the narrator can see it. From his perspective it's kind of cute, but it's so annoying that he wants to hit the friend. As a result, the narrator asks the friend to cut his damn nose hair.
T.A Copy is a four-man punk rock band with an extensive history in Korean underground music. They formed in 1997, playing in clubs and enjoying fame as their unique style caught the attention of indie music scene seekers.
So far they've produced five studio albums, participating in many original soundtrack albums as well in between the years of their regular album releases.
You can definitely tell that with this band, its sound is punk. Like this one for example, called Goodbye Yesterday.
There was a time when my musical interest was exclusively punk. We've all had those phases no? Well I certainly had it badly, and this band took me back to those days. Aside from the nostalgia, T.A Copy certainly has style. Check this one out for one, called Que Serasera.
Listening to this, I instantly knew what is a T.A Copy sound, and their style is certainly a rarely found one. I understand how they garnered so much interest when they formed. They stand out from the crowd like a dude in a library, wearing only a pink thong.
Aside from disturbing imagery, I encourage all of you to go and look for some indie music on youtube. There's an entire sea of them, and all you need to do is go and click a few times. Don't be so lazy now eh.
I leave you off with a couple more, one called Smash, and another one, which is my favorite of their songs, called Glory Days.
