Your Music in MJ's

[Jack Field]

G'day everybody

As we are all quite familiar with the particular music choices of the Chinese in our haunts and taverns, with their unique and sometimes misunderstood style, I would like to start something quite new and unique myself. It involves you - yes you!!!

We need you to help us create a playlist which will feature permanently in Mahatma Jack's Bar.

What do you need to do?

Submit your 5 favourite pieces of music. Just five. Not the bands or the artists, just the songs. For eg. If i were to choose and I bloody well will, it would be:

Mozart, Violin Concerto No 1 & No 3.
Carrickfergus by Louden Wainwright III.
Beds are burning by Midnight Oil.
Land Down Under, by Men at Work.

So whatever you want to hear playing, tell me (you do not need to upload the actual songs up onto CCF), just the titles.

And lets get the first Changchun Playlist rocking!!!

Different genres. Good idea.

 

• Maybe Pierre can suggest some Bob Marley and more Reggae.
• Maybe some of the Chicagoans (and those from "Nawlins", Memphis and the Mississippi Delta) can suggest some more Blues songs.

[Martin Tsui]

Where does the good go by Tegan and Sara (pop)
The don't really care about us by MJ (rock)
The sun also rises by Jou Hisaishi (Japanese)
Ask me by Chen Lisi(Cantonese)
Not have a stiver(Chinese)

Jack, I'd like to tell you my top 5 favorite ones of all the genres and languages though you are looking for only western ones.

Washington? Adams? Lincoln? Jefferson?

Last time I heard "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown.....

Hmmm....

Pause.

That was a LONG TIME AGO.

Who was president then?

Clinton? Carter? Nixon? Eisenhower?

Billboard from America, and top of the pops from the UK will give you new and current songs.
