I posted a short bit on Ang It-Hong's death here earlier this year.  Since his death, his sons Eric Hung and Hung Jung helped put together an album commemorating his songs with the help of various pop artists.  The album contains new songs inspired by Ang It-Hong, such as "阿爸" ("Father") written by Jay Chou and Vincent Fang.  (This report notes ( Read more... )

In case anyone wants to buy Jay Chou songs in MP3 format, you can buy several albums (including "The Era") here.  You can also get them with Rhapsody, which allows you to rent an unlimited number of songs.  Yes, there were some songs there earlier, but they disappeared.  Also, LeeHom's new album is up and the MP3s from his last concert will also be ( Read more... )

I posted one of his Mandarin compilations earlier, so you can find it under the "Maoshan Lee" tag if you missed it.

Recently, I've probably been watching too much Taiwanese TV. XD A couple of the shows I watch have quite a bit of Taiwanese/Hokkien in them:  "百万大歌星" and "王牌大明星."  The former is a contest in which various singers try to remember lyrics ( Read more... )

I've seen some a cappella acts on Taiwanese TV but hadn't had a chance to buy any songs from them.  Today, I noticed a couple of albums on Amazon by a group called PennYo (Pennsylvania + 友) and noticed that they were an a cappella group.  They do perform a lot of pop songs, including several Jay Chou songs.*

No, this isn't a newcomer who has just released his first album.  This is an old album released back in 1985.  Junrong hasn't released an album in quite a while, but he did give Jay Chou his chance to release an album.  (This was a really good decision!)  He's also the other J and the R in JVR Music, the company founded by Jay Chou, Vincent Fang, ( Read more... )

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... )

If you're in the US and you haven't been able to buy sodagreen's Spring or Summer albums yet, don't worry!  These 2 albums have recently appeared on Amazon.com for MP3 download.  Their name is written funny, but it is them:

Spring. Sunlight
Summer / Fever

It'll be cheaper than buying the songs over YesAsia, the quality will be higher, and you can ( 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! )

Apparently, Americans went crazy over this year's World Cup due in their ignorance while people in other parts of the world consider it to be a poor year due to lack of cohesion in the teams.  Personally, I don't care for watching soccer, but it's been kind of a busy summer for me anyways.  However you may feel about soccer, here's a Deerway ad ( Read more... )
