For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

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.

The don't really care about us by MJ (rock)

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

Hmmm....

That was a LONG TIME AGO.

Who was president then?

Clinton? Carter? Nixon? Eisenhower?
