As you know, I’m a fan of Tearliner. Not only is he an excellent songwriter, but he’s got excellent taste in music – as shown by his choice of music for popular dramas Coffee Prince and Triple. Thus just like last year I asked if he’d like to list his favorites among the albums he listened to during the year that passed for Indieful ROK, and just as kindly he agreed. And here it is! A whole bunch of really good music to check out if you need a break from all the Korean music usually posted on here, starting with a new all time favorite of Liner’s:
