Blah
Well, my first night in Seoul was a bit of a wash, but last night was pretty cool. I found a rock/metal bar in Sinchon (I saw blacked-out windows, decal-ed with the motif 'JUDAS OR SABBATH' and a fluorescent sign promising 'METAL', so I was sold) which had a ton of music DVDs behind the bar and requests got played on the projector. I got befriended by a couple of random Korean metalheads, one guy was called Le-Hyo but the other guy kept saying "just call me Lee", which as I think I've already explained is the least helpful thing possible, upwards of 20% of Koreans being called Lee. Anyway, it's amazing how language and cultural barriers stop mattering when you find out that this guy also knows all the words to Alice Cooper's 'Poison'.
The highlight of the evening, though, was my seeing the best music video I have ever seen. I present it here without further comment; please, just watch it all the way through. Especially you,darkspree.
