Update: September 5, 2009

Coming back from a long hiatus. Sorry for leaving you all hanging. Not really sick anymore. Just had more important things to take care of and just had to kind of neglect this channel, the blog (sorry heli), and the imeem... And once again, i come back am completely lost. I don't know anything about what's going on in the Korean music scene right now. And unfortunately, i don't even remember how/where i was able to get some of the more rare vids, so i'm going to have to relearn that somehow. Anyway, i thought i should sign in before this account gets banned by YT (happened to a friend recently). I'm still busy as ever, but i'll try to put some stuff up semi-regularly.

The aim of this channel is to introduce you to a wide array of underground, indie, and non-mainstream music from South Korea. I'll throw in the occasional "pop" too. It'll be updated whenever i feel like updating it.

You can also find me at: http://orienkorean.imeem.com/

It's where i post songs, but you'll have log in or sign up over there to hear them in full length.

Check out my vlog too. I do update it, from time to time. It only features videos uploaded by other youtube users.

Also, if you're having trouble finding videos for a particular genre/style in this channel, just use the Videos' search box.

Examples to type in:
alternative, indie, rock, rock'n'roll, punk, metal, pop, folk, emo, screamo, metalcore, hardcore, jazz, electronic, rap, hip hop, rocksteady, reggae, sXe, hXe, acid, funk, r&b, house, bossa nova, 2-step, new-wave, trip hop, britpop, rapcore, dance, oldies...etc. (or type in the band/artist name).

Note that "rap" and "hip hop" will give you different results.

You can try combining some tags. For example, "alternative rock" or "indie rock".

Sometimes you may run into problems searching for a band by name. For instance, typing in "roller coaster" won't give results. If that happens, try typing it in as one word - "rollercoaster"
