Sad Train

Sep 12, 2010 20:12

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything and I'm also sorry for everyone on my F-list:  I haven't been keeping up with anything posted in the last few weeks, so if I missed something major (e.g. Fusion finally put out a second album), please tell me!  (No, they didn't to my knowledge, so hopefully you didn't just read out-of-context and run around your room screaming for joy!)  I will be very busy this semester, though, and won't be here much.

So I'm finally going to post the other Yang Junrong album I bought.  You can find more info on the (sad) previous post and can find the names of the tracks and the lyrics in their original language here.  Track 9 should be entitled "This Old Morning Train," but it's misspelled on Mojim because the people who posted the lyrics were most likely not very good with English and made some very noticeable typos.  The two instrumental tracks listed weren't on my copy of the CD, probably because it's a reissued version.

You can download the album here.

I also want to recommend an album for fans of Chinese folkish artists.  If you like Chang Shilei or San Dingding or Cold Fairyland, Wu Tong's "我一直听见自己的笙音" is very much worth a listen.*  The title is a pun.  It means "I Keep Hearing My Own Voice," but instead of "voice" it has "the sound of my sheng" in it, since he plays the sheng. One of the tracks is instrumental and uses the sheng.  You can find the album here on Indievox or here on YesAsia.   You can also see a performance of one of the songs on the album here.

* Not the same as Denis Ng, a CantoPop singer with the same Chinese name.
