JUST START THE MUSIC

2PM is a South Korean boy band, originally a seven-member group, but currently consisting of six membersdue to the sudden contract termination of leader Jaebeom following an Internet controversy in September 2009. They are managed by JYP Entertainment. The current members are Junsu, Junho, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung.

2PM is one of the two subgroups branched out from the eleven-member (before Jaebeom's departure) boy band One Day, the other being 2AM. 2PM's and 2AM's training days were filmed in a documentary called Hot Blood Men, which aired on Mnet. The show documented the time by time training program of the JYP trainees who were to be part of the group "One Day", as well as the elimination of three trainees from the group during the time.

They debuted with the song "10 Jeom Manjeome 10 Jeom" ( 10 Points Out of 10 Points), which showcased their acrobatic dance styles.

On September 4, 2009, articles surfaced on the internet regarding Jaebeom's posts from 2005 on his personal Myspace account, in which he expressed his dislike for Korea while still a trainee for JYP Entertainment. Jaebeom issued an apology regarding this matter. Although  protesters demanded that Jaebeom should be forced out of 2PM, JYP Entertainment  stated on September 7 that he was going to continue to remain part of the group. The following day, Jaebeom announced that he would be leaving the group and returning to the United States, with plans of going back to school and bettering his understanding of music, and also apologized to the other 2PM members for not being a good leader and older brother to the group.Park Jin-young CEO of JYP Entertainment has confirmed that he will respect the singer's decision, and that 2PM will continue on as a 6-member group.

On February 25, 2010, JYP Entertainment announced that  Jaebeom would not be returning to 2PM, as his contract with the company had been permanently terminated.

So,here it goes my third post. 

Muse is an English rock band comprised of Matthew Bellamy (lead guitarist, vocalist, and pianist), Chris Wolstenholme (bassist, and backing vocalists), and Dominic Howard (drummer).

Dominic and Matthew started in a band called Carnage Mayhem.They met Chris and when that band fell apart they created a new one ,called Rocket Baby Dolls,a band with a very goth image.Later,they renamed it ad MUSE because acording to the members it was short and looked good on a poster.

 On October 1995, Dennis Smith, the owner of Sawmills, a recording studio in England, discovered them playing in a Cornwall village.Smith would later offer them free recording time at his studio. With this offer, they were able to release a self-titled EP under Sawmills’ in-house label, Dangerous. They attracted many fans across England, as well as the attention of Steve Lamacq, an influential British music journalist, and the weekly British music publication NME. Smith subsequently co-founded the music production company Taste Media especially for Muse.

Despite their success, British record companies were reluctant to back Muse. According to them, they were concerned that their music sounded similar to Radiohead. Despite this, a few gigs were arranged for them in the United States, which sparked a strong interest from Madonna’s record label, Maverick. Maverick would later on sign Muse to a record deal on Christmas Eve, 1998.

Origin of Symmetry was released on June 18, 2001 to a bag of mixed reviews, yet this did not affect the success of Muse, as the first single of the album, Plug in Baby, reached the number 11 spot in the hit charts, the highest spot for any Muse single at that time. Their second single, New Born, would also reach the top 20. This contributed to the album’s respectable chart position at the number 3 spot.

Origin of Symmetry would have made a huge impact on the American music scene, but Maverick had reservations about the album’s falsetto vocals, which they considered to be not radio-friendly, and asked Muse to change some of their songs prior to the American release. Insulted, Muse left Maverick, preventing the release of the album in the United States.

The release of this album saw Muse winning multiple awards, such as Best British Act at the Kerrang Awards, as well as nominations for three Q Awards, which were Best Album, Best Live Act, and Best Producer. The release of this album was also followed by a massive world tour, with visits to Australia, Japan, Germany, Austria, France, and many more. Muse released two more singles before releasing another album, which were Bliss and a double-a side, Hyper Music/Feeling Good.

Muse took another break from touring to record their third album. After months of experimentation, recording, and mixing, Absolution, Muse’s third studio album, was released on September 29, 2003.After spending half a year recording and mixing, Muse released their fourth album, Black Holes and Revelations, on July 3, 2006.A fifth album, The Resistance, was released on the 14th of September 2009.

Hello~

It`s just about time I wrote something in the blog.Since I´ve got no idea what to write about I´ll do the easy thing. Write about music.

I should warn you that at the moment I kinda navigate between two types of music: rock and k-pop,depending on my mood.This means Muse,Tokio Hotel ,Queen and 30 Seconds to Mars or SHINee,TVXQ,Mblaq,SNSD,BI (Rain),T-ara,Brown Eyed Girl,Ze:a,U-kiss,F.T. Island,CN Blue...

It  pretty much satisfies all the  whims  that I may have while listening to music. I especially like the k-pop groups since all the songs are great,with cool ritms and fantastic lyrics an also as a bonus, all the members are super cute.Really,it´s so very difficult to choose a favorite from all of them when you have problems to choose one from every group. They are all so sweet and cute that all  you want is to hug them ; and so slim that I for one, have the need to feed them whenever I see them.

It´s hard to not like them and ,as my friends, I´m now a k-pop addict .In love with the korean idols and their music.
