Show notes
Wherein we crack a longstanding mystery: Why did 2NE1 have a reggae remix in their first studio album?
As always, watch the music video, the dance practice video, or the song release live stage performance. On top of that, here's the acoustic live version, dedicated to the Sewol Ferry tragedy victims. Onto the chronological bullet points:
- Start your day right and listen to 2NE1's I AM THE BEST (all-caps warranted).
- It's a fun exercise to go through the songs we've featured in other episodes, and note the changes in register in their music videos.
- Seo Taiji and Boys - Come Back Home
- This is quickest way I can explain the ｖ ａ ｐ ｏ ｒ ｗ ａ ｖ ｅ ａ ｅ ｓ ｔ ｈ ｅ ｔ ｉ ｃ.<sup>nyorm</sup>
- Compare the rebellious aesthetic (also in tiled tunnels!) with labelmate Big Bang's BANG BANG BANG music video. (And look out for next episode...)
- Adorno - On Jazz (1936). He's not a fan.
- Avicii - Wake Me Up as a point of comparison.
- Christian rapper Flame initially won his lawsuit against Katy Perry, claiming Dark Horse infringed on his 2009 song "Joyful Noise", but the case was overturned on appeal recently.
- Major Lazer - Lean On, and I hope I don't have to link you Despacito.
- Teddy Park has so many production credits he has a separate Wikipedia page just for that.
- 1TYM - HOT
- In the sober light of day, Claudia would like to take it back. Search for Stony Skunk at your own peril.
- There's a cute behind-the-scenes video for the Come Back Home MV.
