Seo Tai ji's "Livewire" is a great album. Gotta respect that guy...a real innovator and maverick in Korea. Quit school, yet went on to become famous writing very anti-establishment "rebel" songs. Played bass guitar in Shinawae at 17 years old.

He has had his share of plagarism accusations, but I think he's doing some really interesting and unique stuff. He is the only Korean "pop" singer (?) I hold any respect for at all.

I met him in Seoul twice...a very affable and charasmatic guy. His current drummer rocks. "Heffy end"...great tune.

These kinds of topics are frequented by those with certain tastes of "cool" music, but anyways, I'll bite. The nineties musicwise for me were essentially about female vocalists:





HM: Jewel Kilcher's Pieces of You, Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, Ani Difranco's 1990 debut album, Sheryl Crow's self-titled album mid-decade. (And some jazz and classical music albums/compositions I'd heard for the first time, but not at all indicative of the decade I guess.)

It helped that I spent most of the decade listening to music with one girlfriend or another, in college and later out, and believe me when I say I have many FOND memories of these albums.
(I never did get the guy band thing. Guys listening to guys sing about not having women and beating up other guys.)

Although I have a soft spot in my cold, barren heart for Ultraman, I cannot forgive him for ripping off Cypress Hill (right down to the nasal vocals of B-Real) and Rage Against the Machine.

Fair enough... but the K-music scene was built on biting other people's music and nobody did it better than Seo Tae Ji !

If you liked Siamese Dream or the 'shoegazing' sound, you should check out his first solo album.

Didn't Josh Freese make a cameo in a few of the Taiji Boys albums?


No...at Taiji isn't listed under any of his collaborations. I like Taiji, but Freese wouldn't fit into that band at all.



This was a great CD as well, with Freese showing his usual brilliance on "Pillow of your bones".
