It is 1am and Apparently Someone Is Filming a Horror Movie or Thriller or Something Outside My Window Because an Actress Keeps Screaming Every Few Minutes
Posted by: mark ˑ October 13, 2008 – 1:22 amWow, I cannot believe we are nearly halfway through October already. And I have not written anything on this blog since Sept. 30.I suppose I should say something, to keep things fresh around here…
So far, October has been a bit of an odd month for live music in Korea. I cannot recall ever seeing so many music festivals before, certainly not at this time of year. Usually, that seems like more of a summer thing. And there were plenty of big music festivals in Korea last summer (the most ever, that I can recall).
I think the large number of festivals in October has contributed to a slower month than usual over in Hongdae. Look at this coming weekend — 57 bands playing at the Grand Mint Festival (including Yo La Tengo!), down in Olympic Park. And there was the annual Ssamzie Sound Festival, the Let’s Rock Festival, and others.
Note: I am not saying this is a bad thing, just a different thing.
Anyhow, as usual, if you hear about any interesting shows coming that are not on the concert calendar, please write in and tell me to add them. I always appreciate the feedback… plus, there are too many bands for me to follow by myself and it is good to know what you think is interesting and worth seeing.
