dual content blog frustration

Postby trutherous » December 20th, 2010 7:34 am

The current advanced season has a number of blogs that refer to songs that cannot be included in the actual audio blog because of copyright infringement, instead we are directed to (youtube) view/ listen on other websites. I like to listen to the MP3 of the KC101 blogs over and over again, but unfortunately I cannot easily include the songs these blogs are about. Perhaps in the future it would be best just avoid reference to copyrighted content all together and stick to more generic lessons. What I am getting at is I'd like all the content for a given blog available on a single MP3.

thanks for listening

Hello George,

Hello George,
Thanks for your comment.

Yes, you are 100% right George.

But George,
those blogs are not about songs... those are designed to give listeners about general expression / ideas of Korean people.
In the past, 시 (poem) was one of common ways to expressing one's ideas or feelings. However, these days, 노래 "songs" / 드라마 "drama" / 영화 "movies" well present our culture / ways of thinking / and many more...
George, think 노래가사 "those lyrics" as 시 "poem".
When you study of 시, you would also understand some of people and culture.
Many 시 (poems) talk about 사람, 사랑, 희망, 감정, 자연, 동물, 인생, 인간관계, efc...
I hope you to know that those lyrics I chose are all about those above...
So... are those lessons about 노래 themselves?
or... instead, are those lessons about the culture of Korea and Korean people?
It's your call, George. You decide their meaning and purpose...

George, some of 노래가사 are more meaningful and beautiful than some of 시.
George, sorry that we couldn't play the actual songs in the lessons...
cheers,
