I was gaping the entire song this is insane

If I had a dollar for every time a musician made me feel like I’ve done nothing with my life, I’d be filthy, FILTHY rich.

"For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in..."

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 12:24:17 -0400

“

For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in English and most people just don’t get it leaving most of them to not take him seriously. It’s easy to strip the significance behind “Gangnam Style” down if you don’t know what it means and solely find entertainment in the Asian guy shaking his hips. But what most people don’t realize is that Psy doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s a satirist and political dissident. “Gangnam Style” was a commentary, not just a fun pop tune with a silly dance.

Gangnam is Seoul’s wealthiest and flashiest neighborhood. For South Koreans, Gangnam represents the ideal life of excess and consumerism. Psy’s character in the video is a wannabe Gangnamite. He dreams he’s living the flashy, excessive lifestyle while he’s really just like everyone else, swimming in a public pool and riding the subway. But never in the video does it seem that Psy’s character is unhappy. He’s content to play in a children’s playground and meet the girl of his dreams in the subway. “Gangnam Style” is much more that we have made it, but that’s not surprising considering Psy’s background and how little we know about it.

In America, it seems like “Gangnam Style” was Psy’s big break when in fact the song had been released on his sixth studio album and his music career hadn’t been about making flashy and catchy songs. He believes music is the key to overcoming the intolerance embedded in his country’s political systems. Throughout his career, his songs have been banned for inappropriate content and have been surrounded by controversy, not to mention the fact that he fought his mandatory military draft.

Psy is a voice for his people. He’s fighting the oppression and intolerance he sees in his culture through his music. And by ignoring his worth and his value, we’re reducing the culture of South Korea into a short man with funny pants doing a ridiculous dance.

- Opinion: American media chooses to undervalue artists like Psy from “Gangnam Style” (via kpop-confessions)

This is why Billie Joe Armstrong’s comments about him being the herpes of music are utterly stupid.

Psy is more punk than Green Day.

You guys I really love Psy a lot and I’ll fight anybody that writes him off as a ‘clown’

theveggieblackboard: HEALTHY THICK & CHEWY VEGAN WALNUT...

HEALTHY THICK & CHEWY VEGAN WALNUT BROWNIES

makes about 12 brownies:

1 cup of flour (wholegrain to make it super healthy)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 cup of brown sugar

3/4 cup of 100% cocoa powder

1 cup rice milk or soy milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup of apple sauce

1/2 cup or more of crushed walnuts

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl; in a separate bowl combine all moist ingredients. Once both mixtures are well stirred, slowly add the wet part to the dry part. Mix until its a nice chocolatey mess. To check taste and consistency have a little try and add whatever you feel is lacking, i.e. more sugar, more vanilla or maybe some nutmeg?

Poor the finished mixture into a greased cake tray and pop it into a preheated oven at around 200 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes. To make sure its baked all the way through stick a clean sharp knife into the brownies; if the knife comes out with no brownie residue it’s ready. Enjoy!

P.s. Adding some chocolate spread as glazing makes these brownies extra delicious.
