Sushi Dinner! — Photo by Daigo.

I just came back from two week vacation from Japan. It was nice to see all my family and relatives again. We ate very well. I have documented the food I ate in a flickr album. It makes a pretty awesome slide show.

We were […]

…at Lizard Lounge.
As some of you may know, I used to play Rock’n Roll music in my younger days (mind you, I am still young). This is my first public appearance as a bass player in a LONG time… Like 4 years.
It’s an early show, start at 8 and goes till about 8:45 or so, […]

Awesome Ukulele concert

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

Saw Jake Shimabukuro at The Center for Arts in Natick last night (event page, link may break). It was as good as I’d expected and more. He played his standard like While my Guitar Gently Weeps and Creazy G, to bunch from his new CD (which I bought at the concert). He did a version […]

This Thursday 17th, JoJo David has a concert at Robsham Theater at Boston College at 8:15 p.m. and he is one heck of a singer. His new CD is very good, and he has went through some challenging past. Let’s support our asian brother musician! I will be there (We’ve got baby sitter that […]

The sound of music II

Sunday, August 29th, 2004

I just read a really interesting article regarding ground loop problem caused by computer and AV equipment. So hard wiring may not work… Apple AirTunes? I wish, its $129! I guess I should start looking for cheap “audio isolators” but no idea what that looks like or how much they cost…
Speaking of music, I came […]

The sound of music

Saturday, August 28th, 2004

I have been running my home made radio station with stremsicle for a while now. But I am still unable to play the same music that is playing from my computer on my stereo system in the living room. I have very nice mission speakers that audio snobs would want… I once was one… it […]

Good music vs good marketing

Sunday, August 22nd, 2004

OK So I think I am convinced that I want to buy a cd (or even both of them) by Jamie Cullum. I hear that song “All at sea” here and there on the radio and always sort-of-liked it. It’s the media hype that kept me away from him. That he is the next Harry […]
