The spotlight swings widely to encompass composers, genres and other categories, but all in the name of discovery and ironclad whimsy.

Whatever it is, to woo her back / from across the widening void / of our disparity, / my stubbornness, her vanity / finally, sent in / black-and-white- / on an electric ice neon blue screen / a few simple / plastic clicks / my plea / waiting, breathless, in silence. /// Featured book: 《Smoked Pearl: Poems from Hong Kong and Beyond》Akin Jeje Playlis…

今次揀嚟嘅樂隊,建立左我對香港(同澳門)獨立音樂嘅第一個印象。我零九年搬返嚟香港之後睇嘅第一個show係MLA嘅失業救濟音樂會,喺西灣河,一個室內運動場裏面。我自己一個去,仲買咗一本黃色封面嘅詩集。 These bands built my first impression of Hong Kong (and Macao)’s indie music scene. I recall seeing MLA in 2009. I went by myself and came away with a poetry collection. Not the kind of item I expected to find on a merch table. Here’s the playlist: w…

Had I at least been a teenager I would have gone out to see them but I wasn’t even double-digit when I was taken away from HK in the summer of ‘89. Here’s th…

由於最近對填詞再度感到興趣,還有一些歌手我覺得需要多點留意,同時也在銅鑼灣街道上滑溜的商店中發現了一種單純的演繹,這使我感到踏實。 Because of my renewed interest in the writing of Cantonese lyrics, a few artists I thought I ought to hear out, and a discovery of simplicity that grounds me amidst slippery storefronts on the streets of Causeway Bay.
