Soft Lipa - 少年維持著煩惱 MV

Soft Lipa - Winter Sweet

少年維持著煩惱 is about story of a troubled and stressed out young boy.

Soft Lipa without doubt, an amazing artist. His rap flow and production is top notch and, most importantly, his songs actually have SUBSTANCE to them. Just from hearing the song Winter Sweet and this song, I'm totally amazed about how much he stepped up his production compared to his last album. I think, without a doubt, Soft Lipa is the #1 rapper in Taiwan right now. Whatever he's doing, I think is incredible for Taiwanese and Mandarin hip hop. I'm definitely picking this album up!

Japanese whaling boat collides with Ady Gil

In news today, a Bat Mobile-looking boat called Ady Gil with anti-whaling protesters on board and a Japanese whaling ship Shonan Maru No. 2 have crashed into each other causing quite a bit of wreckage on the bow of Ady Gil. Both sides blame the other party for deliberately crashing into each other. From looking at the YouTube footage, it's quite difficult to see who is at fault.

Let's ask an onlooking whale at the scene of the accident about what REALLY HAPPENED shall we?


"WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR!! I don't want to die!! I don't want to be turned into sushi!! So let's just blame the Japanese whaling ship!"

Thank you Shamu. There you have it ladies, and gentlemen. The Japanese whaling ship was at fault. Now that's some FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Err oops--- did I say food? I meant research. Yes... research for thought.

Singaporean Beatboxer Dharni featured on Beatbox Battle TV

Meet Dharni. He's a beatboxer from Singapore who is gaining international recognition for his beatboxing. He recently was featured on BeatBox Battle TV. Dharni began beatboxing in 2002 and eventually he created a buzz about beatboxing in Singapore busking on the streets when the art was relatively unheard of back then. Later Dharni founded the Singporean beatboxing community and helped pushed for the very first beatbox champonship in Singapore during the Black Eye Peas concert in 2005.

Here's a two-part clip of Dharni doing his beatbox set at the 2008 Beatbox Battle Convention in Berlin, Germany. In the first clip he does both the erhu at 3:20 and the guzheng at 4:20. Dharni even does that vibrato sound with the guzheng too. The guzheng is spot on!
