hej hej anna! i hope you're well. we spoke briefly on here like.. 12 years ago? i finally went to korea (for the first time!) this year, and you came up in conversation! i met dydsu and some other kind folks and they mentioned you, how you'd go to korea for like a month and just go to every live show. i went for a few weeks and only caught dj sets (although a byul.org gig was on the night we arrived, i hadn't secured tickets haha)

Happy 15th scrobbling anniversary today! ... how quick time passed by listening your over 16k bands ... May you experience many such musical anniversaries, and many nice music moments not only in this year ... What's your opinion about lastfm now, and if you still remember, what did you anticipate when you joined the "scrobblers"? ... P.S. Here's a birthday present for you (e.g. available spotify/youtube): ... genre: experimental/minimalism -> 14th track, from album ('piano edition (2nd album)'): ... 'slowly approaching' (this track has 100 beats per minute) ... https://www.last.fm/music/Erkan+Y%C4%B1lmaz/_/slowly+approaching ... btw: here in Germany the authorities prolongated the action measures against COVID-19 virus, one more time. Is this same at your place ?

Hello again from Germany, Anna! I see you use lastfm for >13 years by now :-) You are a lastFM dinosaur!... When you look back now - how did your musical voyage develop over time? ... Wishing all the best for your pending 194k scrobbles milestone... How I discovered your profile, again? ... lastfm shows you at #1 position in this weekly "Discovery Leaderboard" stats: last DOT fm/user/hague69/listening-report/week ... I am at #3 there ... nice to meet you

hey

Hey! :) I haven't spoken to you in ages! I kind of neglected laft.fm for a while and then completely forgot about it.. :/ But I'm back now. I hope you still remember me. :D How are you?

Blog is great!

Hey, it's nice to see a Swede interested in Korean indie music. I'm studying in Uppsala now and I think I saw Indieful ROK last year when I was checking Kite Operations' interview. And now I'm doing some academic research on Korean masculinities on the media and found out London Korean Links! Both of them are such resourceful websites and so glad to know there are people outside Korea who are interested in real Korean culture, not just K-pop! - Juntae

Hello Anna, I've done an analysis over Asian indie last.fm groups + your group: Indieful ROK is also included :-) What do you think of the results? [url=http://www.last.fm/user/indie_and_more/journal]http://www.last.fm/user/indie_and_more/journal[/url]

Hey! I just wanted to say thanks for doing such an awesome job with your Indieful ROK blog. I discovered some great bands and artists there, particularly J Rabbit and Neon Bunny :D So thanks again^^

500won project has bandpage now. :) http://500wonproject.bandcamp.com/

hmm, ok thanks a lot anyway! :D

Hi, firstly, i love your website!! :) Just wondering, other then Koreangigguide, do you know any other good sites out there that has listings of concerts taking place in Korea? I'll be going there in early April & hopefully can catch some k-indie bands live. I'm into artists like Donawhale, Misty Blue, Casker, Epitone Project, Dear Cloud, Loro's etc. i'll be really glad if you hav any info, thanks :D

Don't forget to mention this. http://www.last.fm/music/%EC%A0%95%EC%83%81%ED%9B%88/Asphalt+Fantasy :)

oh hai =)

lovin your blog, helped me to find a lot of good stuff!

Hopefully I'll manage to survive the climate, haha. Maybe I'll find someone to go with when the summer's closing in, too. The most expensive part of the trip is probably the ticket, and if my friend keeps his word I could stay there almost for free!

I was thinking of taking a trip next summer depending on my savings, haha. Don't think a trip any sooner would be possible as I'm most likely working most of the time until then.

Oh, that's quite soon! I've been offered to stay at a friend's place near Hongdae (the very same person who sent me the tribute stuff), but it's quite a frightening thought to go to Korea for the first time alone, and without any knowledge in Korean.

By the way, are you planning any future trips to Seoul or Korea in general?

It's very much like Underwear Band, reminds me of their 2006 release more so than their 2008 release. I love it a lot already, and if you're interested I could hook you up with a few mp3s. I really want to find some internet store where I can actually buy the album, though.

I don't know it yet, but I actually love your blog.

Miss you, Anna! I'm soo glad to you are still around and working this!!!

Don't forget to add 'Indieful ROK' tag to SandCastle!

wow haha i cant believe you remember all this! ahh the invisible fish - 'through the glass wall' cd! i lost it recently and ive been trying to find it since my computer broke. im guessing there's no way im gonna be able to buy it physically due to it being self-released. is there a place where i can get it digitally?

ah thanks. i can't remember, but did you also have a youtube account that posted korean music videos? or was that a friend. this is about three years ago because i remember i was in some contest and i won some noise fuzz rock ep from a guy in a solo project. i got the cd from mrkwang afterwards.

hey do you run indiefulrock?

Ahhhh, I wish you went there in the summer, so we're at least only a 2 or 3 hour flight away ;_; You should scout out used cheap indie CD stores in Korea so you can tell me where to go when I do go someday :o) Again, have lots of fun & catch some live shows there, eh? xD

Whoa, nice! Have fun in Korea - eat lots of good food :) (yes, for us Asians, it's all about the food) Are you there for vacation?! xD

Hi Anna! :o) I'm pretty good, how are you? Ahhhh so long has passed and lots probably have changed with both you and me. I haven't been keeping up with Asian music. Mostly listening to English stuff now - that's probably why there has been a change in my radio? Ha, it seems like you're still in love with Korean music xD (I am too, just haven't been listening to it...*_^)

HI! I am still alive, haha! I've been discovering a lot of nice k-indies thanks to Indieful ROK. ^^

It was so Nice to meet you in Korea!!

Oh lordy, your blog is a godsend. I was starting to think that there were only 4 or 5 songs in this entire country. I'll have to read up. How long have you been here?

hi ho. you seem on the last.fm, now you're listening mr. yu. i got your mail, but sorry i cannot answer. anyway, i'm happy to see you again in korea. :-)

I just read your review of "Radio Pyongyang". Where did you get your other N. Korea tunes?

Hi, Anna! Just stopped by to see what you've been hearing lately. =)

Hi Anna, you are everywhere on the interwebs! Just came by to say hello. =) p.s. I may rummage through your charts/playlist for new music to try. XD

Hi, Helikoppter! Thanks for your request:) Electric Music Launched Last FM. We uploaded all albums. http://www.last.fm/label/Electric+Muse+Records See you~~

hello there! I've come through your k-indie blog, indieful rok. I'm a writer at seoulbeats.com and I'm planning on writing a feature called "K-indie 101". So basically I'll be talking about all the basic terms, places, festivals, blogs,etc that people who are interested in k-indie should know about. So I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what terminology/places I should include or any useful k-indie related blogs and websites you know of that I should include as well? I already have a list but I wanted to hear from a pro :) I really love your blog, by the way. I started leaving comments under 'sunshine' :)

She's [artist]Tearliner[/artist] lover!
