Lately, I’ve frequently heard “exasperating the situation” instead of “exacerbating.” This seems to be in firm transition now.

Oh, this sounds cool.

Mystery Queen, one of the newest shows to come out of South Korea, might be one of the cutest and coolest renditions of Sherlock Homes I’ve seen in awhile… and it stars a housewife with a crazy mother-in-law.

The show is about Yoo Seol Ok (get it? rhymes with “Sherlock”), a woman who’s always wanted to become a police officer—she’s even studied every year for the exam, though she’s never actually taken it. Only problem is, as the wife of a prosecutor, Seol Ok is stuck at home, mostly tending to her demanding mother-in-law.

I’ve never seen a Korean TV show, though I’ve watched many Korean movies. Sounds fun.

What I can say, I am in the mood for Zep covers. The harmonica in this song…damn is really all I can say. And the lead guitarist, Gretchen Menn, also deserves a medal. No Zep song is easy to play as I know from once attempting them on piano (though the instruments aren’t equivalent — some things are easier on piano than on guitar, and vice versa).

Note that isn’t a live performance, just a video — but the same women are performing the parts in the studio version that they are playing over in the vid. (As in, they are really playing it, but you are hearing the studio-recorded version.)

Great cover, though the bass player keeps playing the wrong damn note:

Still the best cover of that very-difficult song I’ve ever heard.
