This post is for the ex-pats and the folks who haven't been able to keep up with American music that well.

We all know I fit into that latter category, I hope.  I watched the 5th season of "American Idol" before I got into Spanish music and later Chinese music, though, so I remember seeing Chris Daughtry on it.  That season, he was my personal ( Read more... )

As posted on 1world_music , with some additions:

Julieta Venegas is a Mexican-American singer-songwriter.  I had been wanting to buy one of her albums for a while, so when I saw a Latin American CD store, I bought one of her CDs, though I've also seen her CDs in Latin American sections of American stores.  The songs on "Bueninvento" are all Julieta's own ( Read more... )

These are assorted songs I've downloaded by legal means over time:

Feels Like Tonight - Daughtry
What Hurts the Most - Rascal Flatts
No te pido flores (I Don't Ask You for Flowers) - Fanny Lu
在梅边 (By the Plum Tree) - LeeHom Wang
花田错 (Mistake in the Flower Bed) - LeeHom Wang

I've uploaded all of my Chinese CDs except 2, unless you also count the ones people burned for me.  (I might upload those at some point, though a lot of it is just plain dull, not really what I'd pick out to buy for myself.)  The two albums I haven't uploaded yet are "Love. Diva" from FIR and "I Love You, But You Love Him" by Hei Long.

I uploaded some Spanish music today.  (Which explains the title, since I mostly listen to Chinese even though Chinese is only my third language and I'm American.)  It's from a popular band from Mexico, Maná.  Their style is pop rock, but there's also a lot of Latin American influence in their songs.  I picked up one ( Read more... )

Since this was released in 2002 and Shin has gone solo since, I'm guessing this album is generally harder to find downloads for.  They were basically a cover band, doing covers of various songs, with a vocalist who has a strong voice.  The band was named for the vocalist, who left the band.  I happen to have their debut album.  Link and tracklist ( Read more... )

Before I really get started with this post, I've noticed that a lot of people have uploaded albums that send you through a certain ad page on the Internet.  It's really annoying, but worse, a lot of times something will "attack" my computer when I pass through that page.  I know that not everyone uses the same anti-virus software I do.  I use ( Read more... )

On this post, I'll be posting links and tracklists for two different rock albums:  A-Yue's "OK" and Mayday's "Poetry of the Day After."
