Manual

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Chinese pop music. There's two reasons. One is the fact that on Christmas day I saw A-Mei (the tickets were a gift to my parents), and the other is the news of Anita Mui's death. That said, I don't have that many Anita Mui albums, and since she sings mostly in Cantonese, I can't really get the drift of the lyrics. Though my Mandarin isn't good enough to get all the nuances of the songs A-Mei sings either . . . When I'm not listening to Chinese music, I seem to be drawn to Manual. They're on the Morr Music label, which Rachel introduced me to while at Hearst. You can read marginally more about them here.
