Oddness/Weirdness

As promised, here are the beautiful images from SHINee's "Everybody " album photobook.  Fyi, I tried not to include any of the previously released "Everybody" album images, but click here to see them .   Linger over them, savor them and enjoy them because you know I certainly did!

Day 3 of Guest Blogger Week is here and today we're all about SHINee 's Minho and his fine self.  I've been meaning to do a fashion post about him for the longest time, so I was very happy to get this one in my email.  Behold, an ode to Minho's style: Dibidibidis, My Name is Minho: A Fashion Appreciation Post SHINee , since their debut, has always been prefaced by ‘contemporary’ to their name.  Meant to signify the group’s experimental take on K-Pop, SHINee’s fashion, like their music, always been trendy and attention grabbing. But what about when they’re not onstage?  Self-professed fashion lover Key is the most prominent style-wise, taking selfies with House of Holland designer HenryHolland and chilling with Carri Munden of Cassette Playa . Conversely, as arguably the most publicly recognized face in SHINee, Minho ’s fashion sense has been overlooked. Which is interesting but understandable: where are your eyes going to linger in this pho

Day 2 of Guest Blogger Week is upon us and today we're talking about K-Dramas and men in aprons....  Doesn't seem like you'd be able to write a whole post about that topic, does it?  Well you would be wrong!  Funny how I kind of noticed the preponderance of men wearing aprons in k-dramas before, but after reading this I'm having a lightbulb moment.  They are EVERYWHERE!  It's a thing!  Check it out: K-Drama Trope Du Jour: Men In Aprons

SHINee 's " Everybody " album came out last night while I laid in bed, too tired after a long day to blog about it even if I wanted to.  I did make sure to do some squasping as I downloaded and listened to the album in full before I fell asleep.  Now I'm finally here with all the album art and track for your viewing and listening pleasure.  Take a look:

It's the first day of Guest Blogger Week on Oddness/Weirdness and, like last time, I want to start out with a bang.  This post is from Moni , writer and owner of the blog Frock Yeah , and it's about something near and dear to my heart: Kpop fashion.  Enjoy! Swag Check, Mic Check: How Fashion Keeps Your Oppas and Unnies at the Top I’ve heard lots of stories about how people got into k-pop: learning about Korean music through Gangnam Style , flipping through the international TV channels at 4 am, even *cough* someone forwarding a video of Taeyang humping the stage in all white *cough* Full disclosure: that last one is definitely what happened to me, but it’s not why I jumped feet first into the fandom and stayed. Actually, it was the styling that got me. After drooling over Taeyang, I happened to see Girls’ Generation ’s video for “ Gee ”. I’m not usually a fan of music that leans on the cutesier side, but I could not stop watching this music video

It's about to be Guest Blogger Week again on Oddness/Weirdness from October 14-19!  If you're not quite sure what that is, I am here to tell you that it is pretty self explanatory.  Guest Blogger Week is where I plead with  ask some of my writer/blogger friends if they'd like to write a post for the blog and they kindly say yes and then I'm like, "Score!", because they're awesome.  So get your bodies ready, gird your loins, grab some popcorn, etc., because it's going to be a good week.

SHINee has finally dropped their mv for " Everybody " and made their first music show appearance today on MNET's M! Countdown .  Normally I open a post like this with the oft used phrase "SHINee's Back!" and appropriate fangirling but I'm only half feeling their "Everybody" comeback.  Dammit!  I wanted so wanted to love it, but I can't.  I'm going to be completely honest here, because that's what I do on this blog, so brace yourselves:

I haven't been able to pay as much attention to Block B 's comeback as I would like but I had to post this because it is so full of win:   Seven Seasons has released an epic new version of Block B's " Very Good " mv  and there's even more fun shenanigans taking place.  It's so nice to see them happy, isn't it?

This blog has been overrun by SHINee , and today is no exception because SM Entertainment has been dropping new content on the daily.  SHINee's mv teaser for " Everybody " (as opposed to the "Everybody" image teaser from yesterday ) was released at the crack of dawn on this side of the world, which meant I watched it with bleary eyes but also with a smile.  Check it out:

SHINee 's " Everybody " image teaser was released today and I've pretty much been freaking out all day over here because this is the SHINee I've been wanting ever since " Lucifer ".  I've also been wanting something like this ever since SMent announced a Dark!SHINee concept for " Why So Serious " and then didn't follow through (those bastards!).  SHINee in more high fashion plus a ton of awesome jewelry??  What more could this fashion enthusiast ask for?

Hey Shawols!  As I'm SURE YOU KNOW, SHINee performed their new songs " Everybody " and " Symptoms " at the SHINee Comeback Special showcase that was held earlier today during the Gangnam Hallyu Festival .  I woke up at the crack of dawn to watch it with some other Shawols but the stream was SO laggy (on account of some no good real time chat spammers) that I wanted to scream.  (we still had fun though).  I know the same thing happened to most people that were trying to view it so I didn't feel too bad, but I wanted to see my SHINee dammit!  So here's the next best thing.  I scoured the 'net for the best HQ fancams, videos and pics I could find and I'm posting them all here.  Enjoy; I certainly will. (This post is image and video heavy)

SHINee 's teaser medley video for their " Everybody " mini album has just been released!  Take a listen:

So last night I had a little power/cable snafu on our block PLUS I wasn't feeling well, which means I wasn't able to blog about SHINee 's newest teasers (damn New Jersey and its crappy power grid situation!  Also damn getting sick right before SHINee's comeback!) but now I'm here to squee.  Can we all just stop for a minute and say "WOW!!!" because that was my reaction to SHINee's group teasers and their lyric teaser for the as yet unreleased song " Symptoms ".  I know you probably did all your squasping (a new word made up by Twitter bestie Leaf and Kpop blogger that combines SQUEE and GASP) last night and earlier today but humor me, why don't you?
