I would be delighted to find out what really good pop is being made today. I am quite out of touch with the current popular culture (I am a 59-year old "gubbe"). "Gubbe" is a Swedish word which means, roughly, old man or perhaps geezer.

I like the Korean pop these days which is a mix of pop, electro sounds, hip hop, R&B and dancing too.

My wife is from Vietnam. I will have to ask her about the pop music scene over there (I know that they have some - Vietnam has been westernized in recent decades).

I had modern K-pop inflicted on me recently and was ready to jam an ice pick through my eardrums!

Check out indie pop darlings like Haim, Lorde, Chvrches and James Blake.

I know James isn't indie and he's more electronic but w/e

Now is the best time to go through those best of the year album lists and find out what the current pop culture is really like and how good the music is. You might find some gems in there that you end up liking.

Browse through some of the videos I've shown.

If you like Jimi Hendrix you'll like this. Frankly I think this particular tune is an improvement on anything Hendrix did, though I admit much of my reasoning for that is because Kevin Parker's got a nicer singing voice.



If you like the Beatles you'll like this (same band).



And as I said before, as much as I love the Beach Boys I don't think Brian Wilson could have thought of something like this. Part of it's the tools available at the time, but not all of it. This is more complex than I think Wilson would ever have been comfortable with.



LISTEN to each of these a few times and then I dare you to come back and tell me they suck.

These too. Please tell me why these songs were written by poorly educated people. What is it, in these songs, which identify them as products of a watered-down education system?
