Well, I found them for the first time in late 2000 (assumed Jaurim was an all-girl band at first as I only had a photo-less rock compilation with a few of their songs on it) but it was 2002 when I first lived in Korea.<br /><br />On Kim Yuna's album she just put out the songs 독 and 강 are particularly good, you might like them.<br /><br />Faye Wong I like too, that song 阿修羅 is a good one. And of course Sheena Ringo in Japan is fantastic.<br /><br />You might like the Turkish Şebnem Ferah as well. Songs like Yağmurlar and Buradan Göçerken are pretty good.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083766178887686304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-32134526094834876702017-01-10T10:13:18.736-05:002017-01-10T10:13:18.736-05:00They are such diverse artists.

"baem" (snake) is one of my personal favs, along with Anyang Mimi, Vlad (if you want to hear something harder and darker), and I honestly can't even transliterate all my best suggestions. Alanis (as much as I enjoy a few of her songs) is left in the best when compared to the musical artistry of Jaurim.Thom McAlisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698390165738406702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-56705505287196141012017-01-10T10:08:24.469-05:002017-01-10T10:08:24.469-05:00Yes!

I was American ESL teacher in 2002 when I discovered this band, and they are still one of my absolute favorites, and I barely know any Korean! The sounds that Jaurim produces are one-of-a-kind in most instances, and Kim Yoon-ah's ability to express the song's emotional content through tone and artistry is seriously second-to-none aside from a handful of singers from other cultures (I'm also a huge Faye Wong fan--but I do speak Mandarin). Korea should be proud of having such creative and wonderful artists. I love them so much!Thom McAlisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698390165738406702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-47055450902461824972016-06-13T15:27:27.161-04:002016-06-13T15:27:27.161-04:00Jaurim was the main band whose lyrics I memorized ...Jaurim was the main band whose lyrics I memorized when learning Korean back in 2001. Long writeup on that here: http://www.pagef30.com/2013/02/how-i-learned-korean.html<br /><br />Since the first impression one gets from them really varies depending on whether you are listening to one of their more or less radio-friendly songs I recommend the following for anyone who prefers their more rock and avant-garde songs.<br /><br />1: 마론인형, Violent Violet<br />2: 落花, 그래 제길 나 이렇게 살았어<br />2.5: V.V., 레테, 안녕 미미<br />3: 그녀와 단둘이, 마왕<br />4: 望鄕, 無言歌<br />5: 거지, 우리에게 내일은 없다<br />5.5 (청춘예찬): 새, title track, 누구라도 그러하듯이 (cover of an older song), Social Life<br />6: Seoul Blues, Loving Memory (these two songs should be listened to together), Beautiful Girl, Blue Devils<br />7: 幸福한 王子, Drops, Poor Tom<br />7.5 (2009 untitled album): all five songs where Yuna is singing<br />8: Red Rain, 피터의 노래<br />9: 이카루스, singing star<br /><br />Their cover of 가시나무 on 나는 가수다 is also fantastic.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083766178887686304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-47053266030667431822015-10-18T19:07:51.788-04:002015-10-18T19:07:51.788-04:00This sounds like a knock-off Alanis Morisette copy...This sounds like a knock-off Alanis Morisette copy.

Did they ever totally capture the public's imagination as did some of the artists ranked lower than them?<br /><br />Say that to the enamored audience that gave the band 1st place on 나가수 on their first appearance. <br /><br />Personally, I think their rendition of 고래사냥 was no way deserving of that honor (particularly since the song is such a masterpiece), but 자우림 seems to have caught the public's imagination alright.<br /><br />I'm getting less fond of them since they've become so mainstream. I always did like the fact that I rarely saw them on TV, but at random concerts all across the country. But even my MOM knows them now...SIGH.

Maybe it's just a wonky memory, but didn't the band break up between their forth and fifth albums? (after which 김윤아 did her first solo album and two of the three remaining members, including 이선규 went onto form Chococream Rolls temporarily) Or maybe they didn't break up and just went on temporary hiatus while they pursued their own projects, but I remember the message boards being quite incensed about the breakup. 김윤아 has held the spot of my Kpop crush ever since I first saw the music video for "애인발견!!" that summer of '99, although I do prefer her work with Jaurim over her solo work.<br /><br />I'm just gushing here. But I definitely agree that this band deserves a spot on the chart, even if only for their immense talent--but also for their influence on the rest of the Korean indie rock scene. I feel like every young female would-be k-rocker out there ends up covering a Jaurim song with her band. At least YouTube videos would attest to that. And I love how many female rock vocalists there are in Korea, that's a very encouraging thing and I don't doubt that the success of Jaurim has at least a tiny part to play in that.refresh_daemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461891308315532959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-38200235380215679272011-08-15T00:52:21.344-04:002011-08-15T00:52:21.344-04:00Minor typo here: "Jaurim has not changed its ...<em>Minor typo here: "Jaurim has not changed its member<strong>s</strong> in its 14-year history"</em><br /><br />I also heard "Carnival Amour" first too, and loved it. But since I came across it via Last.fm radio, I didn't get a chance to hear anything else by 자우림 until now. I'm shocked at how different the two tracks sound, but the group is really talented for being able to pull off so many genres.cLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194053759876738007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-62225030982363458272011-08-14T22:09:49.152-04:002011-08-14T22:09:49.152-04:00@bumfromkorea, same here. i first heard carnival a...@bumfromkorea, same here. i first heard carnival amour and instantly liked them. fan is good too...it really reminds me of alanis morisette.sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088928423195194044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-46167990693344991942011-08-14T21:45:30.193-04:002011-08-14T21:45:30.193-04:00Aahh, the afternoons spent nearby Hongdae are stil...Aahh, the afternoons spent nearby Hongdae are still a very dear memory to me.
