Over 30 years. Universal just gave him a 30 year service award, or something like that.

I'll be honest, I thought Kung Fu Hustle sucked. It lacked any real story. The subplots could be much better developed (ie. love relationship between Stephen Chow and the mute girl, the old days of those super kung fu guys in the pigsty). The axe gang was also weird, back in those days some gangs mi...

Music: ALAN TAM "Sky & Earth"

This album was released in December 2004. First brand new album for Alan in over 2 years. I still don't understand why the album was separated into 2 EPs (namely, Sky & Earth). Quite a waste in my opinion. The 2 key songs are the songs written by "Dao Lang" (Knife man), a popular singe...

Music: GIGI LEUNG "Ente'tein"

Let me try my first album review under Mikey's format. On straight translation, the title of Gigi's latest Canto album is "Entertaining Everyone". That's also the title of the first plug song (track 1). Interesting song given the fact that Gigi wrote it herself, the song arrangements inclu...

Music: FIONA SIT "886"

Over the next few days, I'll try to write reviews of CDs released over the past 2 months. Seems like I'm really falling behind. Fiona Sit's "886" is a single EP, with only 2 songs. "886" is Fiona's first try at a fast song. The results are ok, maybe if I was a teenager I might ap...

Sorry, give me a little time. Much harder than I thought (either that or my translation skills are getting worse).

Still working at the same place, but I work on policy development now, a lot more challenging.

Mike, will try to do some translation this weekend. Been really busy lately, don't even want to turn on the computer when I get home. I hate Joey (as you can see from my reviews) but she sings well. Anyone in Taiwan has to sing well to become a singer so it's not so much as idol. The 3 girls from S....

The tsunami tragedy...what are u doing to help?

As titled. I took the easy way, donated money online to one of the charitable organizations.

Don't know where to donate? Here's a little help:

Music: ANDY HUI "Back up"

Does this happen in showbiz everywhere? A singer hits the top, then drops off. Media starts to discount him/her, and the singer tries too hard at making it back to the top. Andy Hui has been going through that for the past few years. After trying with more ballads and reviving his old hits through c...

Music: JACKY CHEUNG "Black & White" Compilatio

I've been looking forward to Jacky's new mandarin album, but was slightly disappointed with just a new song + compilation. The new song part was rather disappointing. 2 of the 5 songs are theme songs of a Korean TV Series currently airing in Taiwan. The current plug song is CD 1 track 1 "Black ...

Review: LEO KU's "Nobiko"

Last time, it was the theme of video games. This time around it's a theme around comic character. "Nobiko" reminds me of why Leo Ku faded from the music scene a few years back. Despite his nice voice, some of the songs are just simply bland. The first plug song in the album is track 1 &quo...

9/11 Let's not forget

Although I don't exactly support Bush's operations in Middle East, but I think more countries should recognize the problem of terrorism with what happened in Russia and Indonesia lately.
