I discovered Fifi Rong on the Xiami compilation, and though her track Parting Life (在离别ä¸ç”Ÿæ´») isn’t my favorite, I did start to pay attention. So I’m all eager to listen to her new material now, which is available everywhere from Xiami, iTunes, Bandcamp and Soundcloud~
My favorite tracks are Wishes’ Fault, and there’s a certain haunting attraction to Breathless. LOL
Let’s see what comes off it by the end of the year~
Just ran into this song- a collaboration between producer Hamacide and Shanghai singer ChaCha on vocals. The EP — which seems more like an elaborate single really — has different remixes by Downstate, Jared Turinsky, Lightswitch Lafayette as well.
Since the demise of the LivingSocial application on Facebook — TuneSocial — and my shift from downloads to streaming… it’s been hard to keep track of the music I listen to and rate. I tried Discogs.com, but I’m thinking of dropping it because they’re such an uptight community. Every time you add an album that doesn’t adhere to their guidelines of barcodes, catalog numbers, and milimetric genres, you get voted down.
I don’t buy or sell anything there, and I find myself adding more than I’m actually just searching for… and still there’s people who vote me down and are bitchy about it, instead of helping out and finding the lacking info themselves.
I rather keep my own database without hassle. I’ve added about 350 albums tonight… in the time it took me to add just a few albums at Discogs.
These are the albums I’ve heard this year. There aren’t TOO MANY amazing ones yet, but there are a few very good singles that shall be contenders for the Top50 list this year~
This year I’m doing better with my music than with my movies. LOL I’ve only seen like new movies this year, hahaha. If I don’t work harder on that, I’m not going to be able to pick my Best Movies this year.
Light blue highlight only points out a “special edition” xD
I wasn’t a very HUGE fan of Imogen Heap’s last album Ellipse, but she is still more interesting than 95% of people out there. I got really excited with the first track, Xizi She Knows, because it partly reminds me of my Yat Yi Sam song… but you know, in Mandarin xD
That one and the Indian track one. xD
The first five tracks of the album are pretty good, I wonder when the album will be up for purchase.
