It’s been a long, frustrating day – with only a bright moment to help me overcome this morning’s soul-crushing activities – and therefore I need something to relax.
Chinese music always sets me free, as Steely Dan used to sing.
Enjoy!

A little Batman to start the week
While I never was a huge Batman fan, I love the artwork by Bruce Timm, and I just found this short piece of Batman/Timm wonder.
Enjoy!
The Algorithm got me wrong – and a neat dance
In the last weeks I’ve spent quite an amount of time on Youtube watching streaming, subbed Chinese TV series, and it was a lot of fun. I like watching something new, and often the different cultural nuances add an unexpected spin on classic themes and tropes.
It’s good entertainment, and food for thought.
A curious side-effect was that the Youtube Algorithm decided, based on my viewing history, that I am obviously Chinese – and as a consequence it started suggesting a selection of Chinese language contents – of which I can’t even read the description.
And this is curious, because – for instance – I usually watch a lot of Japanese music videos on Youtube, and it never tried to push on me Japanese drama, or Japanese news service.
I wonder what’s different in this case.
Anyway… being considered Chinese does have its perks, as I am discovering a lot of traditional music and other contents.
So, today being Sunday and all that, I offer you a neat little song and dance number.
Enjoy!
Workers’ Day
Today is Workers’ Day, and I’ll take the day off. I have a conference call in the evening, and I am planning future adventures, but for the afternoon I’ll just rest, read a book, listen to some music.
We need time to recharge our batteries.
I leave you with some nice music.
Have fun!
Song of the drunken fishermen
More classic Chinese music for the evening – and considering it’s almost 8 pm and we are preparing a light dinner of fish, a song called Drunken fishermen singing in the sunset is perfectly right.
Enjoy!
Chang’an Again
Considering the relative success of my previous post about the music of of ancient China and Guqin, here’s another sample of these guy’s art.
I hope you’ll like it.
Chang’an Fantasia
I’ve just discovered this band, and I think it will provide the soundtrack for my writing in the next few days.
Enjoy!
(and yes, as the video says, it’s by far better if you use stereo headphones)
