gato Posted July 2, 2007 at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 03:02 PM Language Guy, do you like Jolin Tsai (蔡依林)? I would categorize her as "bubblegummy", in the same sense as Brittany Spears. http://o2jam.9you.com/qihua2/songs/c-love%20love%20love.mp3 蔡依林 城堡 David Tao and Wang Lee Hom are both heavily influenced by R&B (plus hip hop in the case of Wang) and are not bubblegummy, in the technical sense of the word. http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&rn=&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&word=%B2%CC%D2%C0%C1%D6&lm=-1 David Tao (陶喆) http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&lf=&rn=&word=%CD%F5%C1%A6%BA%EA&lm=-1 Wang Lee Hom (王力宏) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted July 2, 2007 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 03:11 PM David Tao and Wang Lee Hom are both heavily influence R&B (plus hip hop in the case of Wang) and are not bubblegummy, in the technical sense of the word. They are anything but bubblegummy but it's a good thing you included their Chinese name because I had no clue who we were talking about. I honestly don't think I know many artists English names.

Language Guy Posted July 2, 2007 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 05:15 PM gato, Jolin Tsai definitely falls within my tastes. I hadn't heard of her before until now. I am aware that Tao and Wang are not bubblegummy. I guess the gum comment had much more to do with my J-Pop and American pop tastes. My Chinese skills are not yet advanced enough to use their Chinese names, so I both found out about them and refer to them in the English name context.

OneEye Posted July 3, 2007 at 05:42 AM Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 at 05:42 AM I found some good music by 二手玫瑰 today. Very creative, lots of fun. I don't know what he's saying but I like the music a lot, and I like that the video has subtitles. http://youtube.com/watch?v=pPBip5S5xQY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted July 3, 2007 at 05:57 AM Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 at 05:57 AM Did you ever hear Lonely China Day (寂寞夏日)? Check out , for instance. I went to their concert a while back, and I was impressed. They also appeared at SXSW a couple of months ago.PS: I would tell you what style it is, but I don't know a word for it...

SeekerOfPeace Posted July 4, 2007 at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 03:31 PM Gato, I was looking for some music to listen to. I've listened to about 25ish songs, and only liked two or three. I like the song you've provided, thank you. Now to understand the lyrics, I'll try to understand. A question This is going to be really vague but there's a song and the guy keeps saying: "Welcome to my world" or something similar. He says it in English. Anyone has heard this song. Anyways, would be really neat if more people could provide more song titles so that we can discover new music. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted July 4, 2007 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 03:36 PM That song should be "Welcome to My World" by 柯有纶 Check it out here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeekerOfPeace Posted July 4, 2007 at 06:17 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 06:17 PM Hmm... no. That's not it. Maybe it was "Can you feel my world?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted July 4, 2007 at 10:35 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 at 10:35 PM Can You Feel My World by 王力宏 here Do you know how to use baidu? http://mp3.baidu.com You could probably find it faster than us by just doing a search for the part you are certain of under the lyrics part and then just listen to a few and that would be it.

SeekerOfPeace Posted July 9, 2007 at 04:44 PM Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 at 04:44 PM Thanks. The link you provided doesn't work but I'm sure I'll find it eventually if I keep on using Baidu. Since we are talking about music, Is there a program out there like "Kazaa" to share music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari 桑 Posted July 29, 2007 at 07:40 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 at 07:40 AM My favorites are two rock bands, both from beijing I beleive. 木马 and 周先生. Both are fantastic indie rock outfits and well worth the listen. Muma is more rocky, but with pretty interesting lyrics. Their latest CD, 果冻帝国 is awsome. Mr. Zhou is laced with great beats and has a very unique and interesting musical style. These kinds of things you just have to listen to. By the way, that wild monks guy, hes actually pretty good at chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afriday11 Posted October 23, 2008 at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 at 11:48 PM Yea i could use some help with bidu. I can read some of it, but not very much. Are the mp3s safe from viruses? It seems like most chinese computers are full of viruses from d/l too much. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
