Yong-Nicholas A. Kim the entire idea of selling and buying music feels old.

Yong-Nicholas A. Kim and still makes only two edits per televised minute, because he doesn't want his message to be determined by the cuts and splices in a piece of tape--to become, despite all his fierce coherence, "a message of fragmentation."

Aaron O'Connell + they tell you what a yuppie was before yuppies became suburbanites.

Ralph O'Connell Heavyweight boxing was a highlight of my young adulthood. Everybody loves Ali now, but most people didn't in the '60s and early '70s. You should watch the Ali/Frazier fights.

Jamaica Fredericks Yeah, Ali was a piece of work! It's easy to see why he would have been a polarizing figure in the U.S. at the time & also why they loved him in Zaire.

Yong-Nicholas A. Kim grew up watching ali fights w/my dad live on abc in the 70's. cable tv killed boxing.

Danita Maria Annoyed?? Why? I totally got the satire and I've never even been to Korea. If this wasn't popular for it's satire... then what???

Jamaica Fredericks I think it was more about the way the article was written. The biggest complaint was the implication that Park Jaesang was only able to write a song/make a video like this because he had studied in the U.S. Also, the translated lyrics might not be accurate (my Korean is horrible, so I don't know if that is true).

Jamaica Fredericks I thought this was a pretty interesting comment: "As for why the song is popular here? It's a good song. A funny Asian clown is an accessible medium for Western audiences along the vein of Ken Jeong's Mr. Chow, William Hung or Long Duk Dong. The song is anchored by Euro synthpop beats very familiar to Western audiences but the traditional Korean melodies that Psy interlaces makes it sound like nothing exactly that an American teenager has ever heard."

Jamaica Fredericks Gangnam is kinda like the Beverly Hills of Seoul.

Aaron O'Connell @Jamaica Oh that is good to know! I probably should have looked it up but I didn't think to. Thanks.

Danita Maria Thanks Jamaica. I'm going to share this with the friend that shared the video with me!

Ralph O'Connell I LOVE IT !!! Good for water aerobics.

Ralph O'Connell Jamaica, Aaron said you might be visiting st pete. We have a new big place. Stay with us.

Jamaica Fredericks Thank you! That's very sweet. My brother recently bought a house in the Old Northeast, so we'll be couch surfing at his place.

Aaron O'Connell Crazy

Yong-Nicholas A. Kim imagine the even cooler worlds one could create w/his budget. gotta write a script.

Jamaica Fredericks I know right? If you are gonna make an all encompassing film set/ alternate reality, why would you want the setting to be Stalin-era Soviet Union? Talk about limited imagination :P

Ralph O'Connell ELKASET !!

Aaron O'Connell Cool collection of music. The beauty of the mixed tape is reading between the lines.

Danita Maria I'm bookmarking it.

Aaron O'Connell Yup, way more interesting than I thought it would be.

Yong-Nicholas A. Kim i'd be even more impressed if you found a music video about zha jiang mian.

Jamaica Fredericks Is that a challenge? What do I win? http://www.yout​ube.com/watch?v​=jCOKPi-8fl8

Yong-Nicholas A. Kim a trip to beijing?

Aaron O'Connell thanks!

Jamaica Fredericks It can be a little dated and silly at times, but it was groundbreaking in that it was the first movie to be written, directed and produced by American Indians. Apparently it's a mainstay in film studies classes and at liberal arts colleges. :)

Aaron O'Connell Check this song out

Aaron O'Connell The review makes it sound very good. Doesn't seem too heavy handed.
