We're still alive and kicking! Promise! Here, have a playlist for all the songs we talk about this episode. I don't know how these work any more, let's just skip straight to notes:

• Claudia is very sorry for the audio ducking.


• Much like last time, these are the "songs we found interesting" of 2022, although Claudia wants you to know Key's BAD LOVE is the track of the year.


• Part of the SHINee comeback that we didn't mention but is worth knowing about: their take on the ending fairy trend, a trend in which the camera lingers on a single group member at the end of a performance, usually an opportunity for them to show off for the camera.
  
• You should check out the Don't Call Me/Atlantis B-sides. Try CØDE to start.


• You can find references to the fact that Don't Call Me was going to be a BoA song, but the only writeup in English I could find comes from allkpop. (CL: I wouldn't have linked to AKP if literally anyone else had written it up.)


• Don't Call Me relay dance is worth 4m of your time (though probably after you watch the MV proper)


• To reiterate: Don't Call Me (album) was released Feb 2021, Atlantis was released in April, Taemin's Advice came out in May, Superstar (Japanese EP) in late June, and Taemin enlisted on May 31.


• Here's posters detailing the contents of all four physical versions for BAD LOVE: Space Ray Gun, Box Set, Booklet, and (cassette) Tape.


• There's an interesting essay/interview with Key on Allure on being a pop star at 30.


• Minho - Heartbreak


• Hahahaha actually DICE is out now and it's good and you should listen to it!


• It's in the playlist, but Sunmi did an interview about the song Borderline.


• Because I can, here's K-Food Party again.


• NCT Dream's (2022) song Glitch Mode also takes place in the coolest Best Buy in kpop so it's got that going for it too.


• And now aespa are at Coachella too! As their first live performance since debut!


• Here's Spotify's hyperpop playlist.


• Justice for Hendery


• Susan Sontag, Notes on Camp (1964). Other definitions of camp are available.


• really if you must watch My Universe you can definitely find it yourself


• Did we mention Weeekly - After School? Well, it's in the playlist, go check it out.


• First, listen to at least the end of the chorus in Apink's Dilemma. This was about my reaction the first time.
  
• Check out Brave Girls - Thank You!


• Chiming in from the future: while BIGBANG's comeback, Still Life managed to top the Korean charts, fan reception seems to be that this is a thinly veiled goodbye song, especially given T.O.P.'s departure from YG Entertainment (although he remains a part of the group).


• NCT Hollywood, announced in May 2021. We've not heard anything since.


• Epik High - Rosario. The concert was fun! And I was wrong - it wasn't a stopover for San Francisco, but for Coachella.
