I haven’t really heard the song, just found it by checking up on the Hajimete Hajimemashite post – Truly a surprise to find that they have changed the song on their site.

Also, testing out a really useful tool I found. A romanization (or transliteration) tool. In Japanese, it can only read Hiragana and Katakana, though… so it might not be much help reading something like a whole website or lyrics to songs using Kanji, but it sure helps reading simple Japanese to those us lazy like me.

Nine Inch Nails just became a LOT cooler in the online community because their latest album The Slip cannot only be downloaded as a .ZIP file on MP3 format, but you can also download it as FLAC, M4A and WAVE (that file is over 1GB!!!) for super non-compress audio. And they use torrents for the last three formats… only cool kids use Torrents. LOL’

To top Radiohead off, NIN didn’t ask you to put a price to their music, and gives you the full album art on PDF format for you to print and have, as well.

Now it will all be a matter of waiting to see what this move will bring them. In the meantime, you can download Nine Inch Nails’ album The Slip from their website.

It’s been a month since the last music post update! Since then, as you can see… haven’t change the Deezer player, ha! Haven’t changed the music… BUT, no one has complained – so it’s okay for me to procrastinate. Anyway, this is the update from the last list… Continue Reading…

I cannot utterly believe WHY I’m posting this, but… while rummaging through my dusty albums, I discovered the first album I ever EVER bought, back when I was 10? This is WHY we love the early to mid-90’s because the 90’s were tacky… if the 80’s were tacky in American and the rest of the world, we certainly caught up in the 90’s, people.

For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

Part I
Part II
Part III (Disney Edition)
Part IV (Ruth rules Edition)

Forget about leg-warmers, puffy hair and big glasses… though Beals and Matlin certainly blossomed. *tsk tsk* – My 90’s were tacky… flamboyant primary-colored suited boy bands waving and wooshing their flamboyant fans while singing Locomia, LOL’ Or velveted rancheras singing Querida… originally performed by my Latin version of Elton John, with Juan Gabriel. LOL’ But back to the album I found people… Continue Reading…

Hey, guys! *woot woot* Post 200

I’ve been thinking of getting rid of the Deezer player because I haven’t been able to find or upload the music to share… and I haven’t logged into my account in FOREVER. LOL’ So I might be changing my music player in the coming days… maybe going back to my old player, or beginning using the audio library on this new WordPress (Yes! Amy updated her WordPress).

Anyway, I have been Asian-ized once again…. like my 2003 period. I’ve been updating my Korean, Japanese and Chinese music… haven’t really found any new artist, but I have expanded my library of the artist I used to listen to so often… – I have also expanded my discography is some artists on my iPod.

Here is the list of albums I’ve been listening to:

Music Talk

March 24, 2008 — 2 Comments

Well, I was listening to some new music on my iPod, when I realized I haven’t talked about new music in a while. In fact, I haven’t changed my Deezer music player since Christmas, ha!

So this is some info on what I’ve been listening to:

  • LAST ALLIANCE (which I haven’t found the lyrics yet!)
  • Ingrid Michaelson – Girls and Boys
  • SoKo – No Sokute
  • Reel Big Fish (this really gets you going)
  • The Moldy Peaches (thank you, Juno… lol)
  • Kimya Dawson
  • Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé
  • Feist (more songs of her)
  • The Mamas and the Papas, alongside with some Cass Elliot
  • The Eagles – Long Road Out of Eden
  • Freezepop – Swimming Pool is pretty awesome.
  • Kate Nash – Made of Bricks
  • Vampire Weekend – it’s pretty fun, but not as fun as Los Campesinos! xD
  • The Kooks – Konk
  • Melanie C… her music is not bad, but I’m feeling it’s missing an umph!
  • Au Revoir Simone – The Bird of Music… The Lucky One, oh the Sholly fan in me!

And some few more soundtracks~~

  • Enchanted – Gotta love Amy Adams singing The Happy Working Song.
  • August Rush – Raise it Up was pretty cool too.
  • Atonement – that damn typewriter! lol’
  • Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street – Pretty Women~~~~ I will have VENGEANCE!!!
  • Rent – The Motion Picture… though the version of La Vie Boheme sounds cooler in the Broadway version.
  • Selma Songs – The soudntrack for Dancer in the Dark
  • Les Chansons d’Amour soundtrack – the French film Love Songs. Pretty awesome stuff.

Happy music hunt!

We’re back with a new edition of why the 90’s ruled!! For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

Ruth InfarinatoThis time, I’m gonna be talking about the coolest VJ in MTV Latin America, and that was Ruth! The orange-haired Argentinean who graced MTV Latin America for long enough so she could make an impact on my TV viewing. She was chill, she was hip… she was just what VJs are supposed to be.

According to Wikipedia, Ruth is a host and an actress, and became one of the main figures for the Latin American youth thanks to her job as a VJ for over 10 years. I mainly knew her from her show Conexion, but she also hosted, co-produced and wrote several other interactive programs… which make her even cooler.

You see, MTV was cooler at that point in time… VJs didn’t try hard to be hip and cool. MTV was actually about music, and reality tv and crappy series weren’t part of the scheduling. You could actually keep your tv on MTV, and no one would think that was weird. There was also Daria, Beavis and Butthead, and even Ren and Stimpy!

And why the heck am I writing about this? Well, I was watching old tapes, and I had recorded some of Ruth’s show Conexion. I actually ended up watching the whole show, and it made me nostalgic about watching MTV, lol. I barely watch any MTV, maybe I occasionally end up watching it at 3 or 4 in the morning, but you wouldn’t catch me watching it during the day.

Nowadays, I tend to watch more VH1, but it’s not necessarily good either, but it’s better than MTV’s programs… most of the times. I remember that in Canada I began watching MuchMusic, which is like Canadian MTV… after a while, I was more of a MuchMoreMusic type of person, almost like the Canadian version of VH1. I did watch quite a bit of CMT too, but that was in Canada – Cable in Peru did had, at one point in time, CMT in their listing but it didn’t last much longer than a month.
