So Spotified!

2011-07-22T09:29:00.000-07:00

Today when I checked my email I received an invitation to download Spotify! So far from playing with it, they really have a ton of artists that I have had difficulty finding on other websites! I am definitely impressed. Basically it is a program similar to itunes where you can import your own music, but the main idea is that you can favorite and stream full songs for free. They have all the latest albums that you can imagine! Like The Summer Set just released their new album this week I think.. and I have already go to hear it on Spotify :)

Only thing I would like to see improve is the top charts from Asian countries..
also it was kinda confusing when I went to share songs with specific friends from facebook...which is another cool feature!!

In other news, I watched a very hilarious and brilliant video... how in the world do they do it so perfectly?
yea... I was checking out my subs and I saw that Michael Buble made a vlog, which is out of the ordinary, since his channel is mainly his music vids and what not, so I checked it out and this is what I found..

I got some homework where I had to choose 3 manly scents that I enjoyed out of a whole list of them.

Got my list got my list: (learned about more enjoyable smells)

1. Chanel: Platinum Egoist

2. Chevignon: Che

3. Yves Saint Laurent: L'Homme

4. Chanel: Bleu

5. Armani Code

What are some scents you can't get out of your head? What about female scents?

I got to watch an awesome indie movie that changed my life:

It was about this girl who has a superpower, and ended up in a love triangle between her arch nemisis and boyfriend, but they were brothers or something...what happens? who does she end up with? Oh I cannot sayyy...all I can say is that I wish I was medium cute like the Dakota Skye.

I felt like listening to some mellow tunes, taking a break from my K pop frenzy and switch on some Folk.

Simple beats, strong melodic motifs, and gentle and airy vocals reminded me of a stroll in the park.

This past weekend I had my first job orientation at Aeropostale, I am hopeful that they will give me a good work schedule and that my co workers will be friendly and forgiving. A good sign was , as I was filling out the final paperwork, the song that came on in the store was Fefe Dobson's new song Ghost. At least I will be able to work with good music playing.

heartstrings

2011-05-24T22:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my baby guitar's D-string broke. I am not amused. Would someone please fix it for me? I was suggested to go online to learn how to string a guitar, we shall see how desperate I am to play.

In other news, I was volunteered to petsit for a friend's dog. The dog's name is Sarah and she is a black chihuahua mix, and I am honestly having mixed feelings about it, because I don't think Sarah likes me very much. I have wanted a pup all my life, and I absolutely adore dogs, but Sarah is different. She seems to always want to bite me, snarling and growling at me with her canine teeth.

-shiver me timbers-

Today I had a dream about an old friend, how strange that of all the people in my life that friend was there. Because of that dream, I decided to call my friend up and we got to go to dinner and catchh up like old times! :D ... and funny thing is that in my dream I really believed that my friend was mad at me and was ignoring me, oh silly imagination.

I HAVE BEEN TYING MY SHOES INCORRECTLY MY WHOLE LIFE!!!

Gosh do I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TED TALKS

In another TED TALK I learned about creative ways a programmer learned to connect people from all over the world with music projects. Like Wilderness Downtown which is a song by Arcade Fire, and what is special about it is that you can get your own customized music video by typing in your address. It is a really awesome and interactive music video that is played on different windows that pop in and out of your desktop/computer screen..

I also learned about artificial artificial intelligence, through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. I have made 3 dollars so far by accomplishing silly tasks. Through mechanical turk this guy created large artistic projects, like recreating a 100 dollar bill mosaic painting. Where each individual would just copy a square through online painting and then submit it...etc... every square would be completely a different style.

Asian Appeal

This is Anthony Neely, he was a contestant on Taiwan's version of American Idol, One Million Star.

With a new album out and HIM International Music promoting him, he has come a long way from his life in California.

Like Wilber Pan and Wang Leehom and many other ABC (american born chinese) talent, he made his way over seas to establish a career. Shouldn't the competition be about the same.

Neely has a very warm voice and what is more impressive is his Mandarin when he sings! It is not easy to accurately form the right tone while carrying a tune, but he does it as if it were his mother tongue.

I think his cover of Damien Rice's Blower's Daughter was absolutely raw and heart felt. Sounds almost just like Damien's voice.

Medina.

2010-12-22T22:16:00.000-08:00

So typically, mom and I go back to Taiwan every December to celebrate the holidays and such however for once in a long while we chose to stay home in America and live up the good ol Texan Christmas. My we have some relatives who live in Medina, TX and it is really nice to just go veg in the middle of nowheres. This will be the second time we have gone this year, we already went over Thanksgiving.

Here are somethings that I love about going to Medina.

-Nobody ever knows where it is!!

-scenic drive with a lot of open range land.. and hills

-It is one place where I can get a front row seat to view the stars at night.

-There are camels~! Other wild life as well like goats, donkeys, llamas, horse...

-Medina is the Apple Capital of Texas = delicious apple strudel~~

-You can drive pretty fast...and across the double yellow lines

-Good quality bonding time

It's very nice to just let go of any stress or worry and be there in the middle of nowhere.

Happy Holidays yalll!

Inspired or Unintentional?

2010-10-04T00:25:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite activities while listening to songs is to compare to other ones that I have heard and see whether I can find its match, like its "Doppelgänger" (to some extent).

We all have heard of parodies,composer intentionally uses same accompaniment and cleverly changes lyrics. We have heard different musical quotes or lyrics are thoughtfully placed within compositions, but I am curious to know whether composers have accidentally composed identical melodic themes and have no realized that it could sound like copying.

Another thought, could our minds subconsciously remember musical ideas that somehow inspire us to write down the same and we are convinced that it is our own because we dont know otherwise? sense? Perhaps we just like a theme and want to elaborate it our own way. I say we, but I have no one in particular to direct this towards.

To be more specific, at the moment I am listening to 2 songs that are similar in the beginning.

To save space on the post, I will just list out some other songs that I found similar..or just reminded me of the other..

Rihanna - Unfaithful vs. Rob Thomas - Lonely No More
Jet - Look What You've Done vs. Bonnie McKee - Somebody
Phil Vassar - In a Real Love vs. KC & Jojo - All My Life
Holly Brook - Giving it Up For You vs. [fill it in when i remember later]
Plain White T's - 1,2,3,4 vs. The Pretty Reckless - You Make Me Wanna Die

and the controversial
Avril Lavigne's - Girlfriend vs. The Rubinoos' - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Sure these are small similarities, but I find it interesting, almost as interesting as when Rob Paravonian quoted songs using Pachelbel's popular cello chord progression.. (obviously not Pachelbel's solely)

Could it ever be possible that we run out of musical combinations?!?

BTW, there are blogs dedicated to this topic of songs that are alike!!

Twist of fate, Wednesday I decided to volunteer at a cultural event at UT, and as it turns out they had a special guest band there who played. IT WAS SO AMAZING!!!
It was worth putting of my hw, because I found this band very inspiring. Their lyrics express positivity and hope for our time.

They had a free download of this song on their myspace :).. so that night I listened to that song nonstop.
I even took my own video of some of the songs Tim Ouyang sang.

Today at the coffee bean and tea leaf at the domain, while my mum finishes her order of cafe mocha, I am standing there at the other end of the counter waiting for the guy to serve me my order of iced water..and i look at the girl who is also waiting for her drink. Turns out that she is wearing the same identical summer dress that i am wearing, the only difference is that she wore a white cardigan over it and I had on a white laced shrug. what are the chances of that?

The laughter at the coincidence was the introduction of conversation, what we learned was that this girl's name was Yuki and that she was getting her doctorate in music at the same university that I will start attending this next week!

Makes me wonder how incredible this coincidence is, perhaps it really is nothing..but I'd like to think that there is a reason for this encounter. Who knows.

Thing I would regret?

2010-07-01T00:08:00.000-07:00

Someone asked me on my formspring what was one thing I would regret. I think to regret something is a waste of emotion. I mean we live and learn and life keeps going on. When we dwell in the past of something that could have been different, time is leaving us behind. So I don't want to regret anything, so therefore I will live in the present, and make the most of the here and now yes?

Recently, I found out that my friend was being hospitalized because of her low heart rate. She fainted, and is under 100 pounds right now. I would call it anorexia, but she denies the notion. The doctors tell her that she has to remain there for many weeks, I hope she can get better soon. It's a shame to be passing the summer in a hospital, when she has no major problems besides mental health and underweightedness. sigh. I wish I could live closer to her and maybe visit her.

On a Happier note, I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO :D

Although it is a bittersweet song about having loved and lost, and remain one sided.. it's so sweet. Makes me realize that this dream of becoming some celebrity is no easy task. Private life and friends take on a new meaning.

2010-06-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

As my friend was asking me to recommend new music, I realized that I've not been as diligent as I used to when it comes to finding fresh bands. Welllll, today I reconnected with that side of me and what I found (stumbled upon) was this band.

With their new album out Electric Toys. From NYC, this band constructs songs that are very different from each other that depict some kind of story. I really enjoyed listening to this. Turns out that they are coming to Austin, TX for a concert! VERY SOON IN JULY! It's too bad that I have class on that night, or else I would have gone.

Speaking of concerts, I did some research and I have a list of a few artists/bands who I am looking forward to seeing!!

What should I write about? my loves? my life?

Someone today told me that they were curious about my life..

is that interesting enough for me to document down? I can barely be consistent with my diary...
i'm thinking dull dull dull.

I suppose a sporadic mixture is fitting because it pairs up with my thoughts.

Does anyone here have theme songs that seem to fit in nicely with their daily routine?

apparently my perception of myself is complete different than how the world views me, not that it matters, it's an interestin thought though

Anyways, I am writing this with a stinky tofu in mind...Miami better make some room for this tofu because he is heading that way, gonna start a new life.

I wonder what my typing voice sounds like

There are many unanswered questions I have been left with, I don't know how long I can tolerate this curiosity burning in my gut...i guess i will never know because of the "things i'll never say"

20 pts for gettin the artist...teeheee

echoooooooo to the empty hollow space on this page, following my lead

I disappear sometimes, but I'm really just invisible.

I am always here when you need me most.

BBMak is Love

2010-04-14T22:54:00.000-07:00

Something about the idea of graduating high school, that makes me feel like bringing out the dusty old CD's of my past that have kept me going up to now. One of my favorite bands in the 90's was a British boy band called BBMak. Does anyone remember them?

I don't think I have ever been tired of listening to their romantic and catchy tunes.

I absolutely adore their British accents, music videos, and harmonies!

I wonder where and what they are doing now..

Other artists who I am listening to again include NSync, Backstreet Boys, Mandy Moore, T.A.T.U., and M2M..

Nada es Para Siempre

2010-03-28T19:28:00.000-07:00

Entonces..ahora mismo estoy escuchando a Luis Fonsi

Last night I happened to change the channel to America Latino TV or something like that and they were interviewing this guy who is Puerto Rican and he lived in America for most of his life..i believe.. anyways, instead of trying to get famous in America in music, he chose his roots and made it big in all of Latin America!

I've always enjoyed listening to Spanish music, like Juanes, Julieta Venegas, and Diego Gonzalez.

Now I have another name to add to the list! Listen to this song Nada es para Siempre, which is about 2 years old.. but I really think it is sweet and catchy!!

...and let it out slowly.

As I sit here in class and be distracted with new music selections, I noticed how many indie bands from Oregon I especially enjoy to listen to...

A Weather is another one of them, their sound is really soothing and it makes me want to cuddle up with a good book, tea and my soft blanket on this rainy day.

What I noticed while listening to each song, is that they always give reference to the WEATHER! In the given mood of the song.. and they also sing about other natural elements.

I recommend you whoever you may be to give a listen to their newest album Everyday Baloons, if you are into the mellow and lax type of music :D.......it just fits my day today

What's too late? Me finding out about this band.

My American Heart

Heard of them from AJ Rafael, a youtube celeb, because he was touring with them just recently.

What do I mean by too late? They are moving on to more important chapters of their life, they just recently had their final concert. It may be a break, who is to know?

They play rock/pop style music. reminds me of Parachute, and Yellow Card...however, I still enjoy their album "Hiding Inside the Horrible Weather".

Dancell~

2010-01-16T16:52:00.000-08:00

Baby band. Just starting up, but I think they have a lot of potential! I just feel very envious of their talents. I discovered them from the WassabiProductions youtube videoo.. cuz they sent Alex and Roi some BAND SHIRTS! This band of young guys has a mellow sound and rockin beats. Not even out of high school yet. These guys will be someone I follow from now on~

They are a group that could be on radio soon, just if they are discovered..

Their bio from Myspace:
Dancell, formed in the early part of 2008, is an alternative rock band based out of Jacksonville, Florida.With the average age of the group being 18, Dancell somehow manages to possess an innate ability for songwriting, which is demonstrated in the band's early demos.While the songs are catchy and melody driven, the messages themselves are very sincere and thoughtful. Another tool in the band's arsenal are their live performances. Being known for high energy and sweat drenched performances, Dancell always aims to bring a good time when performing. With an abundance of potential, keep a close eye on Dancell, as they make their way into the music industry.

The Un-American

2010-01-13T21:28:00.000-08:00

When Everything Breaks Open album by Matt Morris

Matt Morris has one song especially that caught my ear. It is called "The Un-American", I found that song especially catchy. I have not bought this song yet, but you can definitely hear it on his myspace (link above) or just below! However, I also liked the song "Money".

What I discovered about this artist from his album is that he doesn't specifically sing in one genre, it is really a variety and mixture from many inspirations...unbelievable!

Matt Morris - The Un-American

The lyrics are satirical and very interesting no doubt.

The un-American
Needs a personal Jesus
Private insurance
An obedient wife
The un-American
Should really stop complaining
He oughta take a trip to Disney
Get his head on right
Buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new
It’ll be alright
Buy a new buy a new buy a new
That should fix the un-American
A threat to security
Feeding on literature
From a socialist state
The un-American
It really breaks my heart
To see a promising citizen deviate
Buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new
It’ll be alright
Buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new buy
That should fix the un-American
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh oh
The un-American
Could be your own neighbor
He could be talking to your children
Sleeping with your wife
Oh what if you’re the un-American
Oh what if you’re the un-American
Oh what if you’re the un-American
Oh if you’re the un-American
Oh
Buy a new buy a new buy a new buy a new
It’ll be alright
Buy a new buy a new
And it’ll be alright
Be alright

I luv myself.

I can't help but fall in love with the sultry voice and honest lyrics of We The Living. I found them while browsing Parachute's myspace and both of these bands are touring together! (Not stopping by Texas however..)

Song: Best Laid Plans - We The Living

If I have alarmed you, I didn't try
I'm tongue tied
I've got to be honest, I'm terrified to fly blind
I tried to disarm you I played this part a thousand times
The hunter's the hunted
I'm terrified
I'm open wide

The distance is spanned between you and I
Can I see you tonight?
When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans
Will stand alone on our side

I wanted to have this under control
The story told
You came and rewrote it opened the door I've never known
You say that you hold them, the sands of time
You never lie
They pull like a current
I call to shore
There's no reply

The distance is spanned between you and I
Can I see you tonight?
When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans
Will stand alone on our side

And I never wanted anything like this before

The distance is spanned between you and I
Can I see you tonight?
When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans
Will stand alone on our side

The bridges that stand between you and I
Come over tonight
When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans
Will stand alone on our side

Of mice and men on our side

My Favorite Highway

This group from WASHINGTON D.C. has a nice blend of up beat pop/rock-ness, the first time I sampled their newest album "How to Call a Bluff" I played the whole thing at least 5X in a row, because the songs were soo catchy!!! (+eyecandy)

My favorite thing about watching them and listening to them is that they have a charming and yet silly quality. In their music video for "Say So", one of the members is dressed as a moose. NUFF SAID!! haha just playing, but you know this is just my opinion, and why they added up to be a favorite is beyond my capabilities to explain.

Hope everyone had a nice lil mini break...

I had a tragedy and disappointment occur before last summer, and that was when my external hard drive completely crashed. It was the only place where my music was saved and I was very upset over that. But, a miracle happened because this year around September, I decided to give it another try. I plugged that baby in and it started right up! Good news is that I have all my music back! During that time, was a down period in my music obsession, because I didn't want to find new artists or else I would feel the need to download and buy their music. If I did that though, I would have no other means of saving it. BUT, if I happened to stumble upon new music and artists that I liked, I wrote the name down on my white board and just kept a lil list.

"I don't wanna be wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road."
One Way Road - John Butler Trio (HD)

John Butler Trio | MySpace Music Videos

This catchy song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the month..

They come they take
It’s never enough because they can’t relate
To the real world
Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl
They start those wars
They want to own the land sea and all the stars
And right those wrongs
They change their history with their poison forked tongues.
All right, who’s they?
A: Maybe it’s the government of today
Or B: for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him
Or C: for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle
Or D: for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E: for all of the above but I don’t want to be…

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow BUT we can’t follow men if their hearts are hollow and
Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?
Straight up straight up like Pinocchio and every time they lie man the fire just grows so
Now’s time to be part of the solution raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun
The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon
Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come
Maybe its E for all of the above but I don’t want to be....

Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be no
Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy
I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be...

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road
Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

Guess what I stumbled upon browsing through youtube? Another band! They say not to judge cds by the cover and I did, and I'm glad I did because this band is really good! I'm really surprised that they are not even more popular. You might have heard them before, if you watch One Tree Hill...or if you are fans of Paramore because they toured with them..

I like them because they find a good balance with electronica, ambience, and indie pop

Oh ya BTW they just came out with a new album, Absense, in April of 2009.

As I am sitting down to my curve packet, getting prepared for a major history exam tomorrow...I am listening to my all-time faves and it feels like home. I have a playlist of all my fave songs, and since I thought I had lost all my music I was not able to listen to them, but it is all fixed and life is GREAT! My day has been made complete because I am listening to familiar songs that just put me in a jovial mood.

Speaking of Recycling...

Boyce Avenue consists of 3 brothers :D ( reminded me of the Hansons, Jonas..) BUT IT'S NOT POP, which is a plus. To be honest, the Manzano brothers are really good looking with there smiles and puppy eyes, I hope they come back to TX and have a concert here, maybe I could meet them??!?! They look like really down to earth and chill people, you can kinda hear it in there music! The band that this band sounds like is kinda like The Calling...nice vocals, melody, rock instrumentation, heartfelt lyrics... the best word to describe this style is Melodic rock i guess.

I would like to give them hugs, they look so huggable!! teehee..cute

So tonight, instead of doing my college applications because it matters, I decided to browse other music blogs and see what I could find. I FOUND SOMETHING incredible, I've always been a fan of people who could use those loop machine's, but this chica Theresa Andersson made it so smooth and dance like!! :P

Isn't she cute? She is from Sweden. IN HER ALBUM SHE SINGS IN SWEDISH!!!

The blogger from whom I found this from said that he was gonna marry her :D silly. This song is completely a one girl band! I first saw something like this when I saw Imogen Heap in concert, and that was also amazing! I wonder how many instruments they know how to play.

"you're staying up just to dance alone"

All right, who likes POP? For me it depends on mood, and tonight' gonna be a good night! This talented guy has got the beats to sound like a band with just himself! He also has a way with words. He calls himself A Rocket to the Moon, but his real name is Nick Santino. Kinda made me think of Play Radio Play! Except the genre of music is different! Preetttyy Cleeverrrrr!

Listening to his old stuff, I think his latest album is totally different...since I am hearing more autotune and more electronic sounds in the older songs. I recommend his new album On Your Side.

I absolutely adore Evan Yo, ever since his first album 19. This is the cutest music video concept, and although Evan has matured a bit, his cuteness remains. <3,>

He is a talented violinist, pianist, and song writer who is a big fan of Avril Lavigne. lol.

Had a tough day, only because I didn't allow myself to sleep and watched (500) Days of Summer instead. Which was also a clever concept and movie. After seeing this music video, I was beaming from ear to ear because of the "awww" values it contains. =D

We Shot the Moon

Sway Your Head

This band from San Diego, California is my most recent findings. I love their manly voices mixed with catchy beats. Their newest album that just released called A Silver Lining that caught my attention with their clever and inspirational lyrics and feel good harmonies.

Their song Sway Your Head is a good example of what I first heard that gave me such a lasting impression. What do you think?

I'm not sure how this blogging will work out for me, but I've fallen into following the advice of a fellow blogger buddy. She told me that since I loved music and was always finding new bands and artists, that I should just blog about them, and post clips and photos...

well..

I hope this doesn't turn into just another one of those music blogs.. but I finally decided on starting this because I wanted to keep track of all my newest findings, lately I just can't keep track of artists I've already found and just forget about them completely!!! what a trageedyyyyy!

Now a little bit about my music tastes...I love alternative, indie, vocal, instrumental, chinese, korean, japanese, latino, russian....but the artists I always fall back on are the ones who just make me feel GREAT! Ah..

Anyways, another thing you may find is that I LOVE QUOTING LYRICS.

"So if I ever see you on the street, I'll pretend that I didn't see and turn my face, no use in small talk anyway. Cuz if I look into your eyes, then I'd have to say goodbye and that would break my heart, so I won't even start." -David Choi

First artist to showcase! David Choi, youtube star, hilarious and creative, I discovered him through Wong Fu Productions and since then I've been subscribed and following David. Lately I have been watching his youtube talk channel while he makes his mini tour around KOREA!
