Music
Good music are hard to find nowadays. English songs have now been dominated by Rnb and hip hop and you just have to look at music charts to get what i mean. Artists like akon and rihanna top the charts regularly with their songs. I have nothing against them and the same for people who listen to those songs but i certainly won't call them good music for my ears. I used to completely shut Rnb out of my music collection but recently some are filtered through and accepted by me but 99.9% are still not really acceptable or suitable for me.
Same goes for chinese songs. I'm still dwelling on songs produced in the 20th century and some even produced before I was even born but I still prefer them to 21st century hit artists like Jay Chou （周杰伦）or S.H.E. Oldies just provides that nostalgic feeling and the tune is nicer as well. Growing up listening to REAL singers, Singers who sing your heart and feelings out just don't exist anymore in this millenium. They make good music with wonderful voices but definitely not enough to melt your heart. It's people like jacky cheung (张学友）and jeff chang （张信哲）that makes you despise pseudo music artists who makes absolutely rubbish.
I used to buy Cd albums which cost a bomb back then but now, albums are just not worth the money. It's not because of monetary issues nor the fact that the internet are full of the latest mp3's but its just that songs churned out nowadays are not enough to make you empty your wallet.
So thats my take on music. Don't wanna rant so much cos it just makes me feel like a old grumpy man who just couldn't or refuse to blend into today's popular culture. Blehhhhhhhh
