Turkish Music in Season

Listening to: Sinanay- Pin Up

Recently I have come across Turkish music. In the past I have had my Japanese and Korean, along with some Russian, French, and German music. I do have to say the popular music in Turkey is unique, and has a cultural twist to it. The artists that have caught my attention so far are Pin Up and Ayben. Pin Up is a four girl alternative rock band, often seen in fantastic colors of hair dye. Ayben is more about pop, hip-hop, and rap. Two very different artists indeed, but I ended up liking both of them. By looking at the statistics of the Youtube videos, Turkish music has not spread nearly as much as Japanese or Korean music has around the globe. I always feel like I am in a good area when the majority of viewers are concentrated in an area or specific country.

I finally finished my Chinese presentation today. It shouldn't have taken me long, but it took longer than expected. Now my big project is to read my books for school, but that due date is a few weeks into the future, so no pressure. Though, I shouldn't procrastinate again! Lets see... I also cleaned the kitchen today, while my mom was at work! That was relaxing, believe it or not.

This year we have two Christmas Trees; one is fake, the other is real. We also have more presents than usual, and we did more shopping this year. This is all thanks to my Mom's boyfriend and his daughter that moved in this year. We get along. It's nice when I am bored.
