For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.
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!!!

The Rolling Stones. They're BACK. Mick and the Boys. New album: "Grrr". New Movie: "Crossfire Hurricane". New Tour: 2 dates in London, 2 in New York. Amazing.....I guess for Charlie Watts.... life BEGINS at 70. Not your average pensioners....that's for sure.
Excellent stuff old boy. Now all thats left is to sit back with some cold german brews and enjoy the good old tunes.
Okay, we've now got almost every song that all of our contributors have asked for, plus a few. This is, without a doubt, the BEST playlist in all of Changchun !!!!
Its all good
i m gonna be (500 miles) - The Proclaimers - Scottish classic
A boy named Sue - Johnnie Cash
A horse with no name - America
American Pie - Don McLean - The first music concert I ever went to.
Daydream Believer - The Monkeys
Jack, if reading frightened you, I can't imagine you listening to it! :-)
Good call on those awesome additions, Jeff.
*If you are going to add "Fire" by Arthur Brown...then you need to add "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly and "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Home Thoughts from Abroad - Clifford T. Ward
Sorry ... forgot to include the artist.
Keep 'em comin' folks. I will do my best to get 'em all downloaded and added to Mahatma Jack's music system.
Some that I couldn't get:
Don't Break My Heart - Black Panther
When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease - Roy Harper
Home Thoughts from Abroad
I'm Yours - Jason Maraz
100 Miles & Running - NWA
Mittens Up - Mike Posner
If the people who requested those songs could PM me, I'll give them my email address. Please U/L the songs to me and I'll include them. If you don't have the songs, please give me a URL where I can d/l them.
Thanx
Chris
