Wow, at long, long last, Korean Indie — the new Korean music website that is being started by Chris Park, Anna Lindgren, and myself — is beginning to take shape. There is still a lot of work to do, but you can get an idea of what we are aiming for. We still need to start building the wiki/database, and put together a more reader-friendly blog/news section … And maybe even think of a name that is a little more creative and less obvious. But for now, it is a start. Hopefully people will like it.

If you are a fan of the Korea Gig Guide, don’t worry, it is not going anywhere. Especially not when Shawn Despres is putting so much work into it. But it just seemed to me, since I am not living in Korea these days, it would be a better use of my energies to talk more about the bands and music I like. And there is so much good stuff to talk about…

For my latest post (not my first, but close), I have a short review of the new Byul.org release, Secret Stories Heard From a Girl in an Opium Den.
