Black Ilumin and Wisecrue

Today I was searching around the internet for some new music and stumbled across a couple of expats in Seoul who have started to produce music; Wisecrue.

From what I have been able to glean, it's two guys, one from America and one from the UK. They have come together to produce an amazing track called Rhyme Q. It's a really great song with a wonderful mix of accents, tones and styles. Check it out!



I really like Black Ilumin's voice. He is the first singer you hear on the track and he has produced other music; both solo and with other expats. His voice is so smooth - you never get sick of it. This is his dance track Lavita. I LOVE this music!

Motivating a Jogger

Some people take up knitting, others baking. I've recently started jogging. For those of you who know me you will already know that I have always HATED running. I am a competitive person and love playing ball, squash, pool, putt putt, kayaking. I've done gymnastics, jazzercise, played netball, tennis and even swimming. But running... pfft - forget it! That doesn't mean I haven't wanted to run (ok it does), just that I don't like doing it. I even roped my friend into starting to go jogging at night. It lasted for one whole night and then we never did it again. BUT I was determined to become a runner.
I used to make lame excuses when I went out for a walk. The main one: I'd tell myself that I can't start jogging bacause I would eventually have to stop and it would be horrible to stop while cars were driving past. How embarrassing!
But I can now say, I AM A JOGGER, I JOG EVERY DAY AND I LOVE IT!!!!
Except for this morning. I had my ipod on shuffle, which I never do coz I always end up skipping the older songs, and the music was so demotivating I felt like stopping all the time coz the music was so slow.

This is some of my regular music for excercising.
