rockin’ the unknown

Wednesday, Feb 9. 2005  –  Category: Music

i’ve been listening to my ‘fobby’ playlist the past few weeks at work, and while working here in Taiwan. it’s basically a playlist composed of all my Chinese Pop, Rock, JPop, and Japanese Rock. i of course, have absolutely no idea what they’re singing about - so i’m basically listening just for the music - this is why it’s great coding music. i can vaguely tune out all the vocals and just have some sweet background music.

whenever i’m in a foreign country, i like to pick up some random CDs. when poorna and i were in Beijing, we expanded our Chinese pop collection by a few CDs, and i became a fan of J - a Japanese hard metal/rock band.

this afternoon, while strolling around downtown Hualien (eating a ridiculous amount of fried squid, i might add), i picked up a new JRock CD, Big Machine by the band B’z. i heard it playing in a store, hung around outside for a few tracks, and then went in and plunked down the $15 (ouch!) it cost me. oh well. the CD rocks.
