GroupieBlues

Another rendition of Quoc An’s “Hat Cho Nguoi O Lai” by JBlues (Julia Thuy), UBlues (Phuong Uyen), and DBlues is nothing new since they can’t surpass My Tam, but that back up singer does sing like a bitch, which makes the song sound even worse.

Daddy Knows What’s Up!

In an interview, Doan Van Toai, Ha Tran’s father-in-law, said, “Khi Thanh Lam va Tran Thu Ha sang My thu nhac, neu noi ve sac thi dang le no phai me Thanh Lam chu.” Sounds like the old man got more pimp juice than his boy.

Rubrik’s Art

As a kid, I was obsessed with Rubik’s Cube; therefore, when I come across Rubikcubism, I couldn’t resist the inspirational work.

Dope, Deep, Dark…

Thuy Vu’s rendition of Trinh Cong Son’s “Diem Xua” is so damn hipnotizing because of his dope, deep, dark vocals. Love the way he croons “Mua van hay mau cho doi bien dong…” and makes a vibrating bass out of last word. I still come back to his album from time to time just for that savory timbre I don’t get to hear so often with the current trend of Vietnamese music.

Miss You, Ma

As I forced myself to shove down a plate full of nothing but macaroni and cheese for lunch yesterday, I missed my mom and her home meal with a hand-squeezed glass of orange juice. She has been staying at my sister’s house for almost a month to continue her dental issues, and I have nothing to look forward to for lunch. When she was here, I can’t wait to twelve o’clock to go home. I didn’t pick an apartment closed to the school for nothing. Mom probably is having way too much fun with the grandkids that she’s forgetting her little boy. I’ve been checking on her to see if she has made her appointment and she keeps blaming on the dentist for the delay. Good excuse, ma!
