My CDs didn't make it here until I was away, so I didn't get to listen to them on my trip.  (I also didn't buy any CDs on vacation because I never went to a store that actually sold CDs and even if I had, I was tight on money.)  I'm sure someone's posted this album on LJ by now, but I hope I mention something that no one else knew before about this ( Read more... )

So, if you thought Yuhao and Dan Tou were going to be the only members of NQMM, you were right.  They acted together in "Pandamen" and worked on the music for the drama together.*  They showed up on Jacky Wu and Patty Hou's show "Azio Superstar" together.  They're the two remaining of the original four members.  My question is this:  When does Lara ( Read more... )

These are some songs that I randomly bought or downloaded.  Since they either aren't part of a full album or I didn't upload the whole album, I'll stick them here.

( Lots of good songs under the cut! )

I know this has been uploaded elsewhere, but I actually have a CD-rip of it, so there's no talking over "画沙."

Cindy Yen writes all of her own music.  She also played the piano and violin for a few of the tracks on this album.  She co-wrote the lyrics to "热气球" ("Hot Air Baloon") and "你不爱我了" ("You Don't Love Me").  A few of the lyricists for this ( Read more... )

I mentioned this a while back before the MV was out and when the lyrics were kind of sketchy, but I'm posted it now because I just remembered it.  The lyrics (by Vincent Fang) are in cursive, so they may be are hard to read.

The rewards of cat-sitting:

Emil Chau collection - Because I got SuperBand's album and really wanted something with "花心." I'd only heard Fei Yu Qing's version until recently (which is really good, too).
Peng Li Yuan collection - Because her singing was recommended. This is a freebie when it comes down to it. ($5 coupon, $4.99 CD) It has ( Read more... )

- The song I mentioned here is on an EP not available on YesAsia, but you can download it from the link on this site.  Here's another song for the list, Suzy!  The second track on the EP also features lyrics by Vincent Fang and the style is ZGF.  Jay didn't write the music for this song, but I've pasted (part of?) Vincent's lyrics under this cut ( ( Read more... )

I don't really know much about 王澜霏, but here's the MV for the song "寂寞河流":

I'm not too excited over the song itself, but here's a little background:  Wang Lan Fei is a newcomer, apparently, from Beijing.  According to this, she studied in England.  The article also mentions that this is the first song Jay and Vincent have written for a Mainland ( Read more... )

I've been looking on those Chinese sites again, even though they take forever to download from.  I found some forum with a lot of Jay videos on it, but you have to register to see most of the links.  I found some links that weren't hidden from guests, but the quality wasn't all that great.  I managed to download a rip of the entire first DVD to the ( Read more... )

After seeing this, I've decided that the GMA (Golden Melody Awards, or Gilded Mediocrity Awards if you prefer) judges are over-rated psychopaths with no real logic behind their throwing random songs/albums/artists together under categories by dialect instead of actual genre.  Genres are folk, rock, and hip-hop, not Mandarin, Hokkien, and Hakka!  In ( Read more... )
