So, it’s winter. It’s dark and cold. China keeps farting out its pollution onto us in Korea. How to chase the blues away? Steelpan drums!
Okay, maybe not to everyone’s taste. But here are two songs that I have been finding irrepressibly cheery lately. First, Duke Dumont’s dance song “I Got U”:
And here’s “Flying White Pillow” by Korean indie band Telepathy (the version of the song they recorded for Fred Perry Subculture, which is much more interesting than the original, thanks in part to the steelpan sound):
That’s all. Nothing about The Interview, Nut Rage, or politics or any of that annoying stuff. I just like these songs and have been listening to them together a lot.
