2 excellent tunes from the new compilation from (mostly) electronica label 派樂黛唱片有限公司 Dark Paradise Records.  =D

《派樂黛 G8 二元對立》Dark Paradise Records G8 Binary Opposition (Executive Producer: 黃少雍 Shao-Yong Huang)

The song above is indie rock, with some tasteful background synths. Fun groove, good vocals, you can’t ask for anything more!  The MV has the actress Inna cooking & eating fried rice.   =D

Comic relief and a bluesy cover from 9m88   =D

徐若瑄 Vivian Hsu. The song is the title track of her 2000 album, 假扮的天使. Baba used scenes from this live video with 伍佰 Wu Bai.  (Lyrics by Vivian, Music by Wu Bai). 

I think this is the original MV, with Vivian looking gorgeous.  =D

(More Vivian Hsu info at Wikipedia)

That’s 林庭鈺 (Tim TingYu Lin) on guitar, from the band YELLOW

Here’s 9m88, YELLOW, and the r&b artist LINION wearing wigs and covering S.H.E at a New Year’s show at The WALL:

Let’s check out another new artist; this is ‘rock singer-songwriter’ 陳央 YM  =D

She graduated from Berklee last fall, and this is a song from her 2018 ep She’s Blue Again. (KKBOX)  She came back to TW ready to rock - this riff is reminiscent of the opening riff of the first Black Sabbath album!  

She’s playing both solo acoustic gigs and full band gigs with TingYu Lin (Tim Lin)-gtr (Not Another Band, 3秒樂團), Marcus Tsao-bass (he plays with a lot of bands), Kuan You Chi (KC)-drums (薩瑪樂團 ZAMAR) 

Tim, Marcus and KC all played on this song on the EP. (StreetVoice link)
