http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama Cake is weird! Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:37:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Sometimes, instead of writing new posts that have been sitting in the Draft category for over a year, I go back and I reread old posts. Why? I don't know. I just do. Stop asking stupid questions. Anyway, rereading these old posts, I find that, perhaps, I am a bit cruel. ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2009/09/07/what-i-like-about-you/ I have to tell you guys something: I am so, so disappointed that this album was not called Platinum 9 DISCO. Do you have any idea how many John Travolta jokes were wasted? SIIIGH. (I realize that I spend most of my time in this here blog complaining about everything. ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2009/07/10/the-platinum-9-disc-of-so-that-happened/ This was originally started on February 20. What is my life. I have to admit that I feel utterly lost without thePPN wiki. I can't remember any release dates. I'm not waiting in anticipation for anything. So when I saw Momusu's new single pop up on a few music rotation communities, ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2009/06/13/so-theres-this-single-right/ (Whoa, May already? Holy Moses on a cracker. I'm scrambling to finish my chem homework, so this'll be short. Seriously. Wow. Holy bananafish.) Ah, it's strange to know that at this time last year, we thought that Gocchin was gone, lost to the unending depths of that thing known as "post-idol ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2009/05/10/510-day-oh-gocchin-how-far-youve-come/ WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SERIOUS BUSINESS. CHIAKII ACTUALLY SITS HER ASS DOWN AND TALKS ABOUT HER FEELINGS. JUST A WARNING. Well, 2008 is winding down. We're getting ready for 2009. I can't think of anything important that will be happening to me personally in 2009. I might get my learners' permit ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/12/31/2008-in-a-nutshell/ ...oh, wait, that's Rent. My bad. So. Let's talk Cover You. Now, for something a bit different, I'm going to start off talking about the covers! Because I really do like these covers. Most of the girls look really good and most of them are in flattering poses. Notice, however, that I said ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/12/30/ill-cover-you/ ...hereafter known as Dump His Ass, Stephanie! Now, while "Here" was absolutely gorgeous in every respect, "Near" is still good in its own right. It's the B-side, so it's not as good as "Here" -- it's a bit more mainstream. But it's still got its strong points, the PV being one ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/12/28/more-tenjochiki-near/ You may not know this, but I am a fan of Tenjochiki. Tenjochiki is kind of like the female DBSK -- they're both managed under SM, they both work in Korea and Japan, and they both have several annoying acronyms that make it impossible to get the right tag on ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/12/28/tenjochiki-here/ Oh, Momusu. And you really had me going there for a while, spazzing out, impatiently waiting your next move. I don't hate "Pepper Keibu." But I don't like it, either. It's mildly catchy, and I have many good things to say about the PV (the legs of certain members, in particular), ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/11/21/and-they-were-doing-so-well/ Okay, so I have a lot of drafts I need to finish, because at this rate, Nakazawa Yuko will be dead before I'm ready to publish them. However, looking at the recent spate of calendar cover snark, I'm gonna come out and say it: I like C-ute's calendar cover. I know. I know ... http://www.cultofpop.com/shabondama/2008/09/13/no-really/
