Check out the reviews. She seems to be well esteemed among people into modern classical music and had an opera ("Alice In Wonderland") debut a few months ago. I love the sound sample I'm hearing. http://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/composer/sample_detail.asp?sampleid=11828 ^ Well ain't that the funky shiznits. I like the coy, vivid textures and tonality. Reminds me of Schoenberg. I hope to have the album in my hands within 3 days. I just made a blind purchase for the following:

Now that there's a new slogan I'm seeing the old slogan everywhere.

Definitely better than K-Pop. Anyway, I might check out the youtube vids. That kind of stuff is often pretty interesting. #48,#49 - Not a huge fan of older Korean singers, but some of the retro stuff you hear in certain coffee shops or bars isn’t bad.

Speaking of youtube, what does everyone make of this? http://youtube.com/watch?v=3zvTRQr7ns8 It's apparently one of the recently popular stuff on youtube, but it caused a lot of controversy because it made fun of rape.
