Music Elixir: Rants, Ramblings, and Random Music News

Music Elixir

Something strange is happening in the Music Elixir universe. Sarah shares a peculiar dream where she was Jin's girlfriend during wartime and Taehyung got a nosebleed after falling from a Segway—only for Taehyung to post about getting an actual nosebleed just days later. When the psychic portal opens between these Pisces hosts, the coincidences start flowing!
We dive deep into a Rolling Stone controversial ranking of BTS solo songs, where RM's "seoul" claims the #1 spot. Surprisingly, many tracks we gushed about during our Jin concert road trip made the top 10, including Jin's "The Astronaut" at #9 and SUGA's "Snooze" featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG of The Rose at #8. But where was V's "Love Me Again"? Some rankings left us scratching our heads.
Frustration boils over when discussing ARASHI's comeback strategy—why announce a return to the spotlight only to release content exclusively through their fan club that's closed to new members? Meanwhile, KAT-TUN plans a surprise one-night reunion concert despite having officially disbanded in March, and SUPER EIGHT secures their first-ever performance at the prestigious Nippon Budokan.
The conversation shifts to KCON LA's organizational disaster: eliminated panels, no three-day passes, endless lines, and a convention floor dominated by beauty products with barely any artist merchandise. What happened to the KCON we loved? On a brighter note, MONSTA X officially announces their new album "The X" dropping September 1st, and we reminisce about our canceled 2020 concert tickets, hoping they'll return to Boston soon.
As we approach our 250th episode milestone with listeners in 166 countries, we're proud to have defied the podcast odds. Most shows don't make it past 80 episodes, yet here we are nearly five years later, still chatting about our music obsessions. What special things might next year bring? Subscribe and find out!
