Little over a month ago, I was asked by a reader whether there was a possibility to become a guest contributor of Indieful ROK.

Right about now, I’m on my way to Korea. I had such an amazing time when I first went there last October and have been longing to get back since. Fueled by my obsession with Apollo 18 I decided to come over for the Violet release show and stick around to experience club day. A… Continue reading →

Somewhat belated, but finally I’ve had all songs from Beatball artists join Merry Go Round for the introduction to Korean twee pop posted this summer! When I heard back from Beatball (coincidentally just after I had gotten back to the hotel from a show with a couple of Beatball artists), Lee Bong Soo was very… Continue reading →

Yesterday I realized that I’m now among the people that can create and see Twitter lists. Although still in beta, this feature has been around for at least a week and what it means is basically that twitter users can create various lists of twitter users to keep private or share with others.
