I'm stealing a meme, that's new.  Actually I just found this site with great music questions.  Maybe I'll try incorporating them more for inspiration.

3 songs you can't get enough of right now

1.Lucky Me - Vanness Wu (吳建豪)
Ok, this is not a style I listen to a lot.  Namely, male pop, and especially not this dancy, rappy, rnb-ish kinda stuff.   In fact, it's generally somewhere near the top of my hate list.  But this guy, Idk how he did it, but he made me fall for him. I'm really digging his music.  And this my favorite song for one simple reason.  That gunshot.  Lol.  But seriously, absolute best use of a gunshot in a song EVER.  I love it.

2.出神入化 – Fahrenheit (飛輪海)
I've always professed hate for boybands, and that mostly hasn't changed.  I figured Fahrenheit are good music that happens to be disguised in a boyband form.  But really, they're all really good singers.  Especially Wu Chun, and a lot of their music is not typical for that genre.  Sometimes they just sound like any other guitar-driven HK idolpop.  Heh, anyway.  I like this song because it's catchy and dancy and goes right along with that VW song I am obsessed with right now, lol.

3.Makes No Sense - Nicholas Tse
I've only been repeating this song because it goes with some scenes in a story I'm writing.  I first heard the song in Time and Tide, and it has that hard-to-pinpoint quality of a Bond song.  Slightly rocky, slightly trippy, funky, ridiculous bass, and yeah, that's really all that's necessary.  Plus, honestly.  I just generally have at least one Nic Tse song I'm obsessed with every week.

2 artists you'd like to recommend to us.

1.Vanness Wu
Especially to people who like that kind of music.  If *I* like it, honestly, it must be awesome, right?  This coming from someone who generally loathes it.  I can admit, I'm a bit biased because he's part of the Andy On, Philip Ng, Nic Tse ratpack too.  I'd recommend his greatest hits album first.  Mainly because it has Lucky Me.

2.Eunix Lee
I just heard her this week, and although she only has two EPs out, she's really awesome.  Not at all typical for a Cantopop artist.  Her music is edgy, rocky, dark, cool, and sometimes a little bit dancy.  It's hard to really box her in.  She has a great voice too.  Very soulful, edgy, low, smoky.  A lot of qualities I like.

1 album you can't wait to purchase

To be honest?  GLAY's Great Vacation or whatever that new, 3-disc monstrosity is called.  I've heard a lot of good things about the new songs, and on the other two discs are a lot of my favorites, including several from albums that are out of print now.  I'm pretty sick of Japanese CD prices though, so I'll probably be springing for the Korean version on YesAsia.  I've bought a few of those in the past, and I really don't see much difference.

In the form of this survey.  If I say I love them, they're probably one of my most listened to bands and I follow them closely.  If I say I like them they're somewhat less listened to, but I at least follow them.  Ok means I listen to them occasionally. There wasn't originally a spot for disliking so I changed some things. Beeeecause, there will not be a band on here I haven't at least heard of. ;P  Can't stand them is worse than don't like them in the way that I probably actively hate the former.
