Do you have difficulties falling asleep, particularly in a new room? Or would you like to block out ambient sounds with something other than the radio or songs? I highly recommend Relax Melodies for iPhone! I’ve been listening to it to help me focus. This is the free version for the iPhone, featuring 35 sounds…
This post pertains more to Mandarin speakers who listen to MandoPop. I’m not sure when the trend started, I would suppose it came together with the likes of Wang LeeHom, the first few ABCs (American Born Chinese) returning to the Chinese music industry. Yes, I’m talking about a somewhat Americanized Mandarin accent. Consider words like…
It seems that in the past couple of weeks my friends have all been blogging about music and their playlists, so I figured I’ll do the same. I think sharing playlists like this can expand our musical horizon, since we tend to listen to different things and sometimes you discover new great music from your…
I accidentally tuned in to a Chinese radio station (I think 933FM) the other day and they started playing this song which I thought was quite nice. There’s something about her voice that’s very captivating. I’m a sucker for raspy voices like this. 没有那么简单
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_cERy3hwM] Sigh. Didn’t think I’d see someone I listened to when I was young(er) die so soon.

Now I know what the crazy homophobic world out there is thinking – serve him right for…
I was very very perturbed when Youtube listed this video as “Recommended for You”. Do I look like I want to listen to Total Eclipse of the Heart? Isn’t that from what, before I was born? But being the curious person, I clicked on the video and had one of the greatest laughs these few…
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for quite a while. Not sure why I’m doing it, I’m not even buying into the masterplan idea. My tiny brain evidently cannot process the idea of there being a masterplanner out there, as SOME PEOPLE so helpfully pointed out. (Won’t say who, but you can get…
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I think Seeqpod is fantabulous. You can search for music, and create your own playlist, all without having to download anything onto your local hard-drive. The music streams, pretty fast at that, you don’t really feel the lag. And the best part is that your playlist is…
An oddfully nice love song in to share (and no, before you ask, I’m not in love): [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0put0_a--Ng] It’s been sometime since we’ve had such poetic yet simple love song on the market. Finally something not about getting boobies and smackin’ booties. (Lyrics below)
My current favourite thing to see on TV: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0] Me loves the Discovery Channel (okay, tie between that and History Channel).
