Carsick Cars- You Can Listen You Can Talk


One of the best chinese rock bands,described on rock in china as New School Rock, to me they sound more like a post-punk revival band,but an original one,but still reminiscent of Joy Division and Sonic Youth and the impression they leave on you is like you flew with that nice guitar sound,especially on A Friend From Big City :).
So anyway this is their latest album released not so long ago, on June 29th 2009 and its already awarded as one of the Top 10 albums of the summer at the Chinese Music Media Awards.
It's a must listen for all alternative music fans,and the fact they're a chinese band only makes it better ^^
Enjoy!


tracklist:

  1. 他们的一员
  2. Dear Friend
  3. 盼盼
  4. 防火墙杀死了我们的猫
  5. Invisible Love
  6. 可怜的人
  7. 一天的尽头
  8. Big City Friend
  9. Kill Tomorrow
  10. Slience
  11. You Can Listen, You Can Talk
  12. She Will Wait

Re-TROS cut off

Re-TROS have been gigging around Beijing for the last two years under the name “Re-establishing the Rights of Statues” before releasing this debut album on the Badhead label – and simplifying their name in the process, thank god. Indeed, simplification best describes their brand of post-punk, reminiscent of late 1970s David Bowie with elements of Joy Division. On Cut-Off!, this neo-punk trio delivers six tracks running thirty minutes: tight, straightforward guitar riffs, un-fussy base lines and solid drumming. Minimalism, however doesn’t necessarily mean minimal quality. Indeed, the band’s meticulously-polished sound owes a lot to Brian Eno. While on a visit to China in October last year, the legendary producer of David Bowie, U2 and Depeche Mode added color and texture to the Beijing band’s sound and even mixed in some keyboard on a couple of tracks. Nor, for that matter, are the English lyrics simple. Indeed, each song tells a different story. “If the Monkey Becomes the King” refers to the famous novel Journey to the West while alluding to the stupidity of mankind; while “TV Show” offers a somewhat bitter challenge to authority. All said, this release will appeal to the band’s already large following (built on the back of their stunning live performances) but its minimal running time will leave them craving for more.

tracklist:
  1. Die in 1977
  2. A death-bed song
  3. Boys in cage
  4. If the monkey becomes (to be) the king

my little airport- the ok thing to do on a sunday afternoon is to toddle in the ZOO



Another nice (and cute) chinese band,but actually from Hong Kong so it's basically a Cantonese band :P
Very nice and cute music with matching lyrics :) (some are on Chinese,some on English),and I like the lo-fi sound.
My good friend,who is Cantonese by the way, said that it was the first time in his life he heard a good cantonese song :) But poor thing prolly only listened to Cantopop while he was little,so it had its effect later :(
So in one word: C U T E (きゃああああ ^o^)

Tracklist:
1. coka, i'm fine
2. 在動物園散步才是正經事
3. victor, fly me to stafford
4. edward, had you ever thought that the end of the world would come on 20.9.01?
5. 柯德莉,關於風景
6. my little banana
7. josephine's shop
8. 王菲,關於你的眉
9. you don't wanna be my girlfriend, phoebe
10. dee, it may all end tomorrow
