831 is an emo-punk band that released their first album Save the World in 2008 with Universal Music Taiwan. I just discovered them last year with the release of their album The Great Escape, which is their first album release in 2 and a half years (which is most likely why I haven’t heard of them before). I’m in love with

Well, more like Chinese, Taiwanese, and Cantonese (that’s music from Hong Kong…right?). This playlist is at nearly 100, but that is mainly because I actually put in a lot of songs from whole albums because I loved the albums as a whole (and I loved the artists, too of course). If you find something you enjoy, don’t forget to support

This is long overdue, I know. Everything kind of gets away from me in the summer. I guess it doesn’t help that I started a new hobby which takes a lot of time. But, at the same time, I’m on the computer more than I’m not, so I think it’s a good thing to finally have a hobby that takes

This time we start the week with a little Taiwanese pop. The artist is Ann and the song is “Consolation” which is a very pretty song with a really weird video. Check it out. And coming tonight? Episode 10 of ST which I hope isn’t the finale because if it is, it’s a totally sucky cliffhanger, but I did see

June is already half over with. How time flies. I know I should probably only pick like a top 5 or 10 songs, but that’s just not my style, lol. That being said, I’m really trying to get more selective. The only songs on the list are songs I want to talk about and really enjoy. Other songs that I

I own tons of soundtracks for Asian dramas and movies. In fact, I own quite a few soundtracks for dramas and movies I’ve never seen, lol. Kind of weird, isn’t it? But just because you don’t watch a drama or movie doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate the music, although, you could appreciate the music even more in context of the

FUN4樂團 are a Taiwanese band signed to the same label as popular host/singer/actor Alien Huang. I just discovered this band last year. I liked them so much that I even went out and bought the album that I discovered them with…and then several months later, while I still know who they are and check out their new releases when they have

Happy May! The weather still can’t make up it’s mind. It keeps doing some lovely 20-30 degree jumps in a single week. Adding to horribly fluctuating temperatures is the fact the wild weather from winter is following us into other seasons. Not to say there is snow, but just crazy weather with lots of wind, precipitation, and some rather nasty

I was thinking long and hard about which song to choose for this week’s Song of the Week. It is a toss up between two very different songs. The first is a rock ballad by visual kei group Alice Nine “SHADOWPLAY” and the second is “Find the way” by Bii which combines English and Mandarin along with a Korean rap.

I have actually been listening to older songs or just obsessing over albums from the beginning of the year or later (*ahem* totally had Activity’s EP on repeat DAILY). Plus, spring is slowly making its way in and I’ve been having less time to explore or discover new music thanks to work and life and maybe even a lack of
