Random Music Notes, Part 3 (or part something … I lost track)
June 1, 2009 – 9:46 amBy Mark
This is a little late now, I just noticed that Dafne Lee over at Radiocactuscube has been listing the winners of this year’s Korean Music Awards, along with translating the explanations about the award winners.
Lee has divided the KMA award results into four sections, part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4. A very worthwhile set of postings and I highly recommend reading them all if you are at all interested in the best of Korean music.
(Found via IndiefulROK, of course).
Over at the Korea Herald, there is a decent feature about Korea’s indie music scene, with some profiles and whatnot. Unfortunately, the Herald’s link to that music website at Daum called Indiestory does not seem to be working. I hope they fix that before too long.
Finally, I would just like to point out that May was the biggest month yet at the Gig Guide. We have been growing steadily since this site was launched, and especially since December when the numbers really started to climb. No one is going to confuse us with Rolling Stone or Pitchfork Music, but it is great to see people taking an interest in Korean music. Thanks so much for coming here.
