Listening to old school Taiwanese pop song clips. (Funny, I don't really care for A-pop but I like the old school pop stuff, probably cuz I grew up listening to them, especially Teresa Teng was one of my family's favorite.) I've always had a preference for songs in Taiwanese as a opposed to Mandarin, I'm thinking it was because I grew up speaking Taiwanese first than English. Too bad I suck speaking Taiwanese now. Anyhow...I can definitely hear the Japanese influence in the songs. Most of the songs seem to be about sad, tragic love songs. Maybe that's why I like listening to them so much. *sigh* (Someone should do a movie on these artists, if they haven't done so already, it would be a GREAT story.)

Does anyone know of any good stores here in SoCal or good websites that sell good Taiwanese albums? (And yes, I'm still pissed cuz my bro rebooted my computer without backing up any of my info, which included all my MP3s, many which included all these Taiwanese songs. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!)

But I'm looking for albums that are sung in Taiwanese, usually the old school pop stuff or folk songs though I'm always to open to remakes by current artists, though I've been reading there's more artists in Taiwan that are singing in Taiwanese and there's a growing underground and independent music scene and I'm curious if Taiwan's music scene is getting better cuz I'm not into the saccharine pop music. I'm also trying to collect some indigenous Taiwanese music.
