Watching old BAP performances is such a ride :

Getting nostalgic seeing the old styling choices

Trying to avoid seeing Himchan by reading the lyrics

Being impressed by Youngjae's voice, whom I had completely underestimated for SO LONG

Watching Daehyun aka national treasure sing through high notes after high notes as if it's nothing

The other members being so loud you can barely hear Daehyun belting these notes

The choreography being so simple yet so effective all the time

But then JongUp (whom I've grown to appreciate a lot more in recent years) giving his best dance moves every dance break

Zelo and Yongguk rapping so good that they got me excited every time I hear their voices

The performances being so powerful and impactful EVERY TIME, no matter the song or its genre, this is CRAZY

Waiting for your favorite songs to come out and feeling 13 again every time they come out

Basically, I'm receiving giant face slaps for how much I didn't know how to appreciate them properly when I was 13.

Comparing them to recent performances is crazy, they were SO good with NOTHING. Don't get me wrong, recent performances are really good too, for the ones I follow, but there's just something about having talented members shine just as they are, with a well-directed performance, no fancy things needed.

I'm so mad TS did them dirty, they would be so much bigger and so good nowadays. I'm counting the days until we get to see them release something together again.

Thank you for broadcasting networks for releasing these compilations of performance, it makes me so happy.

So day 1 :

I've listened to a few songs, the playlist is in alphabetical order.

My favorite of them is definitely 1004 by B.A.P.

This song is such a classic classic bop. It is cathartic and the vocals are so pretty.

I also really like the title 1004, that is read cheon-sa (천사) in Korean, the same way you say Angel. It also has some significance in the music video and it's just my favorite of today.

The song I remembered the least of them is 12:30 by Beast.

It is kind of surprising to me that it is a Beast song, because I listen to them often. This is one of the ones I listen to the least though, although the lyrics are really beautiful and I always always enjoy listening to Yoseob's voice.

This is really fun to do and I'm wondering how long it'll take me to get through the whole playlist! Wanna bet?

In this day of music celebration, I've decided to listen to all of my liked songs on Spotify, because dang that playlist is getting looooong

I am what I like to call a music collector. I'm the biggest one I know. I listen to a song, I like even one aspect of it and I add it to my Spotify.

I've been doing this for years, probably a decade. So naturally, there are some songs that just fade in the midst of all that greatness. So I've decided this national holiday of music is going to become my own personal celebration of my music taste, which sounds right.
