Top 10 K-Pop Tracks of June, 2021

#10. Ready To Love – Seventeen

Celebrating their sixth year on the Kpop music scene with this terrific track off their eight mini album.

#9. Poison – Pink Fantasy

These ladies rock hard, giving Dreamcatcher a run for their money.

#8. Moonshot – NFllying

One of my favorite Korean indie rock bands back with another solid track off another solid album.

#7. Damage – JustB

Former Fave Boys, Play M Boys, and Bluedot Boys make a splash with this debut track.

#6. Chi Mat Ba Ram – Brave Girls

Much love for the ladies whose improbable comeback continues with this terrific track off their new Summer Queen album.

#5. RiBBon – Bam Bam

GOT7‘s maknae makes his solo debut and hits it out of the park with this gem off the EP of the same name.

#4. Secreto – Yezi

One of Kpop’s most underrated artists. Huge fan.

#3. Vamos – Omega X

My favorite debut of the month comes from this 11 member group.

#2. Paint the Town – Loona

Speaking of favorites – Loona is back!

#1. Africa – Jeong Min

Agree?  Disagree?  What did I miss?

Me: You mean “damnit”?

Akemi: Wut???

So, how’d you all enjoy yesterday’s Dark Matter Monday with super secret special guest stars Melissa O’Neil and Zoie Palmer?

What?  What do you mean you missed it?!  Didn’t I tell you it was NOT to be missed?

Well, don’t beat yourself up over it.  The gang at Orville Nation has you covered…

Next week, we’ll be discussing Virtual Season 4 Episodes 4.01, 4.02, and 4.03.

Going to have to give this one a pass.

Pitch deck discussion on the Project F front tomorrow morning followed, hopefully, with some clarification on which K-Pop group(s) we’ll be approaching.  I have two in minds – one male and one female – but would love to hear from their man in Seoul.

Further developments on TimEscape have me feeling cautiously optimistic.  The team has a couple of potential homes in mind.

Once I’ve finished tweaking the pitch for the adaptation of the epic sci-fi comic book series, and follow up on the re-pitch of that classic science fiction t.v. series, I’m going to start beating out my take for the Dark Matter miniseries.

Let’s gooooooooo!

Speaking of Dark Matter…

Joseph Mallozzi Is Developing A Dark Matter Miniseries

Interesting, no?

In response to a comment over on the Dark Matter subreddit –

Have a few other things on my plate at the moment, but the wheels are turning…

Today’s Yes/No…


Shallot Pie? Yes/No https://t.co/2xho5qRqIq

A resounding YES from me.  So much so that I may make it later this week – and maybe a garlic side tart to accompany it!

Oh, hey, did I mentioned you DO NOT want to miss tonight’s Dark Matter Monday finale? I did?  Okay then.  See you there!

Yech.

Just finished the Dark Matter season 3 finale – and I’m angry all over again.  I’m going to start working on a pitch for the miniseries and will look to take it out in August.  I’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, on the home front…

Whew.  Almost forgot today’s blog entry!

July 2, 2021: Creative Battery will shut down. Please recharge.

Hmmm.  Flash hailstorm today.  Checks date.  July…2nd.  Oh, right.  I live in Toronto.


Fast Five > The Fast and the Furious > Hobbs & Shaw > Fast & Furious 7 > Fast & Furious 6 > Fast Furious 4 > The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift > F9 > 2 Fast 2 Furious > Fate of the Furious

Finally completed by Fast and the Furious marathon and my rankings.  I actually don’t mind the increasingly ridiculous elements but do find the movies are a lot less fun without actual stakes or consequences.  Meanwhile, THIS is the spinoff I very much want to see…

Screen-shot-2021-06-27-at-51346-pm

Or the second Hobs & Shaw movie.

Yep, this pretty accurately sums up how I’ve been feeling of late – a little creatively tapped out.  The prospect of getting anything done this weekend is incredibly daunting.  Think I may need more bourbon ice cream.

Today’s Yes/No…


Mac & Cheese Lasagna? Yes/Nohttps://t.co/y9px7yXmR9
