“明明很愛你” (A Qihun fanmix | Gu Yu/Jiang Xueming)
Concept: a mixtape of songs from the (early) 2000s that I imagine Gu Yu and Jiang Xueming put together.
TRACKLIST:
❄️ Rainie Yang - 曖昧 Ambiguity (2002)
💧 Jay Chou - 星晴 Starry Mood (2000)
❄️ F4 - 流星雨 Meteor Shower (2001)
❄️ S.H.E - 戀人未滿 Not Yet Lovers (Brown Eyes cover) (2003)
💧 Michael Wong - 童話 Fairy Tale (2005)
❤️ S.H.E - 觸電 Electric Shock (2006)
💧 Power Station - 彩虹 Rainbow (2004)
❄️ Jolin Tsai - 看我72變 Watch My 72 Transformations (2003)
💧 Mayday - 溫柔 Tenderness (2000)
❤️ Fahrenheit feat. Hebe - 只對你有感覺 Only Have Feelings For You (2006)
❄️ S.H.E - Super Star (2003)
💧 Jay Chou - 妳聽得到 You Can Hear It (2003)
❤️ F.I.R. - 天天夜夜 Days and Nights (Instrumental) (2006)
LISTEN:
spotify: https://spoti.fi/37RaxYi
youtube: https://bit.ly/3uzoRhD
NOTES:
- title: “Clearly Love(s) You” or “Mingming Really Loves You” (low-hanging pun, I know)
- Meteor Garden & Jolin Tsai’s Magic/Watch My 72 Transformations album were among the suggestions for go club names. I always assumed they were Mingming’s suggestions.
- 妳聽得到 (You Can Hear It) is from the Jay Chou album Shi Guang bribed Gu Yu with.
- Jay Chou wrote some of S.H.E’s songs so my headcanon is that that’s how Mingming gets Gu Yu into S.H.E. XD Electric Shock is one of them, but maybe she gets him into it through something like Migratory Bird, from S.H.E’s 2004 album.
- The little icons are because the 雨 Yu in Gu Yu means rain and the 雪 Xue in Jiang Xueming means snow. I thought it would be cute haha.

⇢ MAY PLAYLIST ⇠
I made it in a somewhat timely manner this month :D though my May new releases list is really quite slim lol. Mia Joy's debut was my most anticipated album this month and I was really the most excited about that, but there were more special ones:
Mia Joy - Spirit Tamer
Mia Joy has had music in her bones her entire life. Raised in a spiritual home to Musician and Poet parents, Mia Rocha has been singing since she was a baby (“My mom said I used to sing myself to sleep. I would fall asleep listening to my CD player” she recalls) and joined the Chicago Children’s Choir at a young age. Mia Joy’s brand of ethereal pop is equally indebted to 90s R&B Icons such as Sade and Selena as to the ethereal ambient compositions of Grouper... Spirit Tamer, Mia Joy’s debut record out on Fire Talk on May 7th 2021, draws influences from both: emotive synth pop and yearning meditative interludes that trace the peripheral edges between tracks. The album title comes from a poem Joy wrote long ago (“writing was my first love”), and the melding of her creative upbringing interweaves a sonic history that unfolds as Joy herself attempts to piece together the fractured pieces that shape growing up and growing into your own skin.
Sculpture Club - Worth
Worth as a whole LP plays like a time-warp between a bygone era wherein a relatively equivalent amount of sociopolitical disarray was enacting, and the entrenched echoes of that time as they reemerge in the digital era. There’s simultaneously a youthful curiosity and a dour bewilderment entwined in the narrative of Worth that recalls images of a crumbling Berlin Wall covered in angry, hopeful punk kids laboring with mallets and Marlboros toward a different future. (Slug Mag)
TEKE::TEKE - Shirushi
TEKE::TEKE is a 7 piece band featuring a Shinobue (traditional Japanese Bamboo flute), a Taisho Koto and a trombone alongside fuzzy guitars and a rhythm section to create a sound reminiscent of 1960’s – 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks, while remaining undeniably modern and punk. Their debut album entitled ‘Shirushi’ (or ‘signs of great changes to come’) takes you through a vast array of imagery with themes of identity, spirituality, rebirth and the profound exploration of oneself.
Wy - Marriage
Marriage is the sound of Wy moving forward and backwards at once. Leaving the more produced style of last album Softie behind, it turns to the simpler sound of their earlier work for music that’s rawer and sharper. On both the indie-rock and the pop songs of this album, there’s less between the listener and the heart of the song - this is music that’s very direct, both in theme and sound, with melodies that hit cleanly and leave nothing even trying to hide. It’s the work of a band that have grown into themselves and what they do, and making the strongest songs of their career.
Previous months' leftovers:
Beige Monk - Drip
Greenhouse - Doggy Paddle
otay:onii - MingMing
