CHEEEERS: To the (presumably young, cool and underpaid) video editors, who wisely drowned out the claptrap and used great concert footage from two hard-working Chinese bands.

TRANSLATION: The title of the Super Monkey album (我不是个随便的花朵) doesn't mean "I'm an Unusual Flower", which would translate directly as 我是个异常的花朵. Rather, it carries connotations of a woman overturning traditional notions of sexual promiscuity, and would be better translated as: (1) I'm Not Your Casual Flower (2) I'm Not Your Good-time Flower (3) I'm Not Your Anytime Flower.

Pow.

[derek8555]

shinkochan2, I thought about that too, but then the original translation actually works out this way:

随便的 could mean "any" or "common", so unusual could possibly mean "unique" or "special" in this case, which then makes sense.

Hey! That's Liu Wentai from Louisiana..... he's currently working on Gao Qi's new "classical favorites" sung-in-mandarin compilation.

I'm glad XTX used the coffee/tea analogy, as opposed to the grass/crack analogy.

XTX's music really does have that strange oriental melodiousness to it.....

I don't buy any of it ! English music is that which accompanies Morris Dancing, French muzak usually follows the ups and downs of Porn films, and Americans are into Slasher rock ! Isn't this just one big, "let's dissect fluff" stereotype ! The fact is most Pop whether it be C-Pop,J-Pop,K-Pop, or U.K Pop Crap is just manufactured tat glossed by fat and exceptionally bald men in suits.
