Welcome to another Weekend Round-Up podcast from me, your host, Alex! A pretty good week in fandom news, including a fair few new music videos released, some news from the MapLab and Tiffany not wearing any pants. Video as always, under the cut.

Megadeth’s Marty Friedman Recognising TVXQ

@ ALLKPOP
The fact that he’s even heard of them and admits to listening to some K-Pop amazes me. I went through a fairly heavy Megadeth phase a long time ago, so this just weirds me out.

Arashi’s ‘Everything’ Music Video Released

@ YouTube
As with a lot of Arashi, and J-Pop releases in general, this caught me by surprise. I wasn’t really aware of it until it was released . It doesn’t seem long enough since the last song was released, but I’m always happy to have more music to listen to from my favorite artists. Song is growing on me.

2PM’s ‘ I Hate You’ Music Video Released

@ ALLKPOP
It’s another of those music videos where they just put together clips of the boys to the music and there’s no plot. Shows the boys working hard to get where they are now.

Nickhun and Boom on Star King

@ ALLKPOP
I could post about Star King every week without fail, but I only do it when it’s pointed out to me and so here is Nickhun of 2PM and BOOM acting like dork’tards with some other people.

Yoona Angry at Tiffany’s Lack of Skirt on MBC Music Core

@ K-BITES
There’s no doubt she had the best of intentions because we all know that Tiffany has had some problems in the past, but let’s face it; on stage, in front of the fans is not the best time to be lifting someone’s skirt.

BIG BANG Release ‘Gara Gara GO!’ Music Video

@ ALLKPOP
@ BIG BANG Fansite
@ K-BITES
When I first heard the track, I wasn’t all that impressed. Mainly because it was in Japanese, but also because it just didn’t seem that catchy to me. After watching the music video a few times, I can safely say that my opinion has changed. I still hate that it’s in Japanese, but I will actually listen to the song.

2NE1 Release Full Version of ‘I Don’t’ Care’

@ ALLKPOP
I’m really liking this and I can’t wait to see this performed live. It’s so outrageously different from Fire that I can’t quite picture it in my mind.

Epik High ‘Remixing The Human Soul’ at the MapLab

@ MAPTHESOUL.com
I have nothing to say other than I am so incredibly excited by this.

2NE1 Coming to a Small Screen Near You

@ POPSEOUL!
Not something I’ll watch live on TV over here but I might pick it up subbed. I can imagine it’ll be subbed pretty quickly if their popularity on the Internet is anything to go by.

4Minute Rock ‘Tell Me’ Like the Wonder Girls

@ ALLKPOP
While maybe not as good as the original, it was an interesting flavour and certainly not as bad as some of the other covers they’ve done.

The Mithra Shirt

@ TaBLOG
Awesome and I want one.

Girl’s Generation Cover ‘Wannabe’ by The Spice Girls

@ ALLKPOP
As I said in my comment at ALLKPOP, there is a reason there aren’t more Spice Girls covers.

I am really looking forward to Remixing the Human Soul! And I want a Mithra shirt but my boobs won’t fit in it XD; not even in the men size T___T

2NE1 really aren’t doing it for me, I thought Fire was good, but there’s something about the girls themselves that don’t quite seem to gel as a group. And I Don’t Care is just … I don’t care >>; Not a bad song, but not what I was expecting, or hoping, from 2NE1. I feel like YG aren’t too sure what the hell they’re doing with these girls.
