Fluxus has some good indie bands/projects.
Clazziquai, W&WHALE, etc. Epik High, Drunken Tiger, T But I can't stand idol groups. The only one I like is Brown Eyed Girls,but even they aren't that great. Also: Epik High is NOT a boyband. |

There's a folk flea market near Sinseol-dong station and I found the one Pearl Sisters record I was able to find in Korea. Everything's veeeeery jumbled and thrown together there. The record I got was crazy beat up. :/ The guy running that shop was standoffish at first, but really helped me out when he knew what I was looking for. |

What's that band with "broccoli" in their name? I don't know, but apparently they are the most popular indie band in Korea and are very critically acclaimed. Of course, you wouldn't know it because of how shitty Korean mainstread music is.

I fail to see how backup dancers somehow makes them a boyband.
Or is the happy, postive song? Epik High's mantra is "no genre, just music" but equivocating them with the millions of Korean boybands is just wrong. |

Myeongdong was a pretty good resource, albeit the one place I went to was VERY huge, almost intimidatingly. I'm definitely going back there before I depart for the US. I went to the underground shopping center near Shinsaegyae Dept. Store, and the owners of a different store were also standoffish, especially since they were dealing with a foreigner. I came in and asked for Beatles collectors' vinyls, and their attitude was basically, "It's expensive, so don't bother." I'll definitely check out that flea market, though. I'm still on a seemingly hopeless quest to find any Japanese vinyls. As if finding KZK in some random stack of LP's might ever happen here. |

Yeahh, not so much for Japanese vinyl in the hanguks. Japanese music wasn't officially sold in Korea until 2002, I think. Which is why you find a bunchhhh of bootleg TRF and Namie CDs in the used CD piles. Teehee.
