I quite liked what I heard, but it's annoying not being able to put a name to a track. Do you know of any place where I could find a discography (in English) with album photos so I can know what I've got?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-37125224759026248942007-04-04T10:17:00.000-05:002007-04-04T10:17:00.000-05:00Jonno, thanks for stopping by.

There are interesting small artists, but they typically get snapped up by smaller labels pretty quickly. Anyways, I'll be sure to check out those websites you mentioned, again, thanks for stopping by and hope you'll come back!w. minghuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945152992008719569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-13407831191302379622007-04-04T05:13:00.000-05:002007-04-04T05:13:00.000-05:00Heah!

I listened to all the tracks listed and she is very good - I will look for her CD, many thanks<BR/><BR/>I personally listen to Tong Li (From Beijing I think), Lui Fang and Teresa (Tiawan) - damned Chinese bow, brings tears to my eyes every time<BR/><BR/>I actually work with local musicians, radio,and a small recording studio here to promote Independant music and minor artistes - it is my path...<BR/><BR/>Most current Western music is stuck in a bad-place of commercialism and max-money, where tallent is irrelevent, and original writers are paid a pittance for their works and their hearts<BR/><BR/>This is my genuine friend and singer/songwriter Carla - she suffered terribly at the hands of Music Moguls, but told them she would do it all herself<BR/><BR/>Her small home studio has now grown into an online collaboration and websites that support Indie artistes worldwide, and she also has access to people like 'i-Tunes' etc. Good stuff - take a look:<BR/>http:www.melodrift.com<BR/><BR/>We are looking to create an Independant Chinese Artists section - so your help appreciated<BR/><BR/>You will probably want to check me out also, and my personal website was ripped-off by internet traders in domain names - bastards!<BR/><BR/>These are my current websites:<BR/>http://www.excel-education.com<BR/>http://www.excel-trading.com<BR/>http://www.debonaire-gems.com<BR/><BR/>Oh, I may be an international, and aged nerd hahaha!<BR/><BR/>l8rz JJonnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460415633687570207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-17946064430365351542007-03-05T23:39:00.000-06:002007-03-05T23:39:00.000-06:00chubby, its sort of hard to say.

Thy aren't really rock, but I guess I'd classify them as alternative. There are a lot of Chinese rock bands that are worth listening to (some even are available on iTunes) like PK-14, Hang on the Box, and Lonely China Day. With many of them, though, their lyrics are all in English. This week there will be a very different mp3 blog than usual, so stay tuned.b. chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193619798547429061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-48657630407592155492007-03-04T22:01:00.000-06:002007-03-04T22:01:00.000-06:00Any good suggestions on good not-so-mainstream Chi...Any good suggestions on good not-so-mainstream Chinese singers? <BR/><BR/>The Chinese singers I heard from TV or Radio mostly just sing about "love" or the loss of "love". And the lyrics often lacks of depth. <BR/><BR/>I like Nirvana, the White Stripes, david bowie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-83870174040139762832007-03-04T00:46:00.000-06:002007-03-04T00:46:00.000-06:00Chubby, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comme...Chubby, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I think a lot of great art comes out of pain, but I understand your feeling, the on again/off again nature of their relationship at times seemed more about keeping their name in the press than anything else.<BR/><BR/>Nancy, you're right, everyone's always looking for the "new" thing. Well, I will always listen to Na Ying and I don't think she's going to ever go out of style, or maybe I'm just getting old? Its really not easy to stay popular, you need to find a way to stay fresh while also making sure not to lose too many older fans. Definitely not easy!b. chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16193619798547429061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35345581.post-4372215118947554382007-03-03T13:59:00.000-06:002007-03-03T13:59:00.000-06:00you can't deny the cruelty of show biz. senior sin...you can't deny the cruelty of show biz. senior singers always being replaced by the new comers and korean hotties.
