Title: 
2nd place of SuperStar K season3
Online Music Award at 6th Mnet 20's choice






     I want to introduce one of my favorite singers, Busker Busker. I knew this band from SuperStar K, an audition program broadcast at Mnet a few years ago. At first, I didn't like their music because I couldn't find anything interesting. Their music style was somewhat stereotypical which many of Korean independent bands used to have. During the audition, I rather preferred their competitor, Woolala session. 


     What changed my opinion about this band was their first album, also named Busker Busker. When they launched their new album, I decided to listen to it because I was curious how much they could have developed their music style. To my surprise, when I finished listening to all of the tracks in their album, I was fascinated by almost all of their songs. They had their distinct style of music which was very well embedded. Also, while each song had its own unique style and addictive melody, the album as a whole was maintaining its theme which was about "Spring."


     Instead of introducing all of the songs in the album, I would rather suggest that you listen to some of their music here.

Night sea of Yeosoo


     Though there are many songs you would like, I think these two songs can suffice. What do you think about their music? Isn't is very unique and enjoyable? If you find it likable, why don't you start listening to their music from now on. I'm sure you'll like most of their songs. 
     
     They also launched their new album called "completion of 1st album." This album includes five songs which could have been added into the previous album, if the first album's main theme hadn't been set as "Spring." Those songs are very similar to those in the first album; however, they are more fresh and lively because their theme is more like "Summer."

     Please leave your impressions about this band and their songs. I would like to share your ideas. If you have other artists to recommend, write a brief comment introducing them and their music; I would be very happy if you leave a link for Youtube videos of their music.

Shout Outs!!!!




Shout outs!!


     Now, we have our most exemplary blogs to be introduced here in my post. I've chosen among blogs run by middle school students; however, I strongly recommend everyone in GLPS go to their blogs and read the posts, just because they're gooooood. 

The very first blog is.......... the blog of Hawon, The New Yorker

     The reason why I chose this blog is that she not only posted her assignments given by her teacher but also posted some of her essays about diverse areas of interest. I want to encourage all of the students to follow her and write more in your blogs to share your ideas and get feedback from as many readers as possible. Congratulations, Hawon! Keep going on!

Our second blog is.......... the blog of Sal Kim, Nyan Cat at School

     Not only did she write fabulous ode on her blog, but also wrote several more personal essays. Plus, she used diverse photographs and video clips to ornate her blog and invigorate her writings. If you take a look at her blog, you'll soon find out how to make your own blog more fancy and beautiful. But don't forget to read her essays, for they are also very well written. 




Last but not least, out third blog is..... the blog of Sang Eun, Sangeun's blog

     The reason why I chose her blog is that she wrote many posts which are all interesting and well-written. Also she tried to write posts in diverse genres, such as ode, meta fiction, chain writing, diamante poem, etc. If you go to her blog, you can see her efforts put into writing a lot. I want to celebrate her effort by selecting her blog as one of out best blogs in GLPS writing class. 



Don't be disappointed even if you weren't selected, for you still have 2 and a half week to write a lot, decorate your blog, and get selected. Those you are chosen should try their best as well to remain the best, and those you aren't selected can also try their best to reach the top. I really appreciate all of your efforts, and I'll help you if you want me to help you. So come to my blog, leave comments on my posts if you want help. Thank you!
