Song Review:: HxW (Seventeen): BEAM- Stupid Idiot

Image
Release date: 2025 March 10 Album track list: PINOCCHIO (feat. So!YoON),  96ers ,  STUPID IDIOT Album runtime: 7 mi nutes  I know this isn't technically a title track, and I know it's also been months, but I've been missing them a lot lately. Fun fact, I have two D&D groups, and the one I'm in as a player, my character last campaign was a druid who was also a spy (I kind of based her off of Jeonghan). She became best friends with the tiefling barbarian in the party, who accidentally became a spy, and no one wanted the two of them to be alone together because quite by accident, things would happen. Our DM actually said it was like the last two braincells fighting for second place when they were together, which is funny because neither of them were stupid characters on their own or with the whole group. Thus, I dubbed this our theme song. Every time something happened, again, by complete accident (accidentally creating a super species of vampire remains a favorite hig...

August 2025 Wrap-Up: The Witch is Back!

 Okay, everyone. Welcome back!!! It's been a hot minute since I've written one of these, but considering how many songs I didn't review over the course of the last three months, I didn't feel like I had enough done to warrant a wrap-up. Still, let's get to it! And yes, the title is a reference to the movie Hocus Pocus , but also, I absolutely adore Nina Simone's . High Priestess of Soul, indeed. Back to K-Pop, first up, our lovely debuts. Now, to be clear, I do have a couple that I'm still planning on covering and once I do, this will be updated, but still. The debuts I covered were N. Top , idntt , AtHeart , Cortis, and soloist ZZONE (cignature/Good Day) . Debuts I'm still planning on covering are Rainbow18 and ZOONIZINI (ASTRO). Other debuts include MADEIN S , OFF EQUALS , IXIA , LIPSTICKERZ , and iii . (I may actually consider LIPSTICKERZ as well because that's a whole mini album and an intriguing concept.) Next section is for the songs I was loo...

Song Review:: HxW (Seventeen): BEAM- 96ers {Debut}

Release date: 2025 March 10 Album track list: PINOCCHIO (feat. So!YoON), 96ers , STUPID IDIOT Album runtime: 7 mi nutes  My level of coherence for this one might be a little low as I'm going to be waking up for it. This part I'm writing before I go to sleep so that I'm not trying to do all the things at once. So. I think this is one of the subunits that has been so deeply hoped for from the fanbase that I'm happy for the older fans who finally get it. And also, now we've got something of a pattern getting established for the enlistments. We'll have that confirmed depending on who the next subunit is. It's a lovely farewell-for-now present from them. That's all I'm saying. Although the run time is making me twitch a little. This is the most Hoshi and Woozi thing I've ever seen or heard in my life. And I'm deeply amused by the fact that this is the performance leader and the vocal leader, and this is a hip-hop song. The energy level through the...
