#MVS

With Kpop, I quite often post performance videos and stages rather than MVs proper. Most of the time, this choice reflects nothing but my personal preferences and preoccupations, so rarely does the question of whether an MV, a PV, or a stage is "better" arise.

When it comes to Le Sserafim -- Come Over, however, the question does arise, and an answer can be given that is not merely an expression of purely personal preference : the music show stages really are better than the MV.

Judging by the gushing comments on r/kpop, I think many will disagree with my judgement, so I ought to offer some justification. "Come Over" is a fun but repetitive bagatelle considered just as a piece of music. What makes it more than a forgettable trifle is the unusual and distinctive choreography, as I pointed out when I selected a Music Bank stage for #KpopOfTheWeek a fortnight ago: c.im/@jemmesedi/11417007132140

One would have hoped that a good performance video focusing on the choreography and the retro fashions that complement the choreography so well would have been released. Alas, no. What we get instead is a hybrid MV and CF for Android that actually omits some of the most striking dance moves, such as the opening sequence of high kicks. The synchronized swimmers are poor compensation . To make things worse, AI has been employed to incorporate a sequence of two group members' enlarged heads emerging from interior walls in a sequence more appropriate for a horror film.

What a missed opportunity this video was!

C.IMJonathan Emmesedi (@jemmesedi@c.im)Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Le Sserafim – Come Over. Let me make it clear right away that I don’t think “Come Over” is a song for the ages. I don’t even think it’s the best song on the album, as I found both “Ash” and “So Cynical” more engaging musically; “Hot”, as so often is the case with Le Sserafim title tracks, left me cold. No – I’ve chosen this “Come Over” stage because of the choreography, which is strikingly different from the girl group norm. As a bonus, the wave hairdos look good and Eunchae (fun fur top) unselfconsciously confirms my belief that she is one of the prettiest idols. https://youtu.be/JtJwVC-s27o?si=uL5B5SyCZu3H8NJJ #Kpop #KpopOfTheWeek #LeSserafim #ComeOver #GirlGroups @kpop@fedigroups.social @kpop@a.gup.pe

I'm somewhat struggling to take in the amount of sheer effort that went into producing such detailed step-by-step instructions for installing and setting up IBM #MVS 3.8j under the Hercules emulator, via jaymoseley.com/hercules/instal. There is so much detail, the steps are thorough and accurate, and they've taken me from a complete MVS novice to being close to viable startup.

I feel this effort, at no expense to me beyond time, warrants some public appreciation just as much as my gratitude.

My plan to combine my #VintageComputing interests/hobbies all into one pot comes a step further!

The #IBM s370 emulator in #Golang I've been watching can now IPL assembly decks!

Today I managed to get #9front updated on 9Pi4B but still #Plan9 refuses to let my user, or even glenda, use networking (/net/net/clone errors) - I'm hoping to have that all figured out in time to test #MVS on it! I haven't tried building #Hercules though I feel the current build process is hell
