I thought Duy Manh’s music is sacrilege, until I come across a song titled, “Nhung Be Gai Viet Nam Lam Diem,” with the lyrics read, “Thirty dollars each, yum yum no bum bum.” Can’t get any sicker than that.

I am “Feeling Good” right now. Sometimes life ain’t so bad!

Saturday with nothing to do, so I decided to jazz up this site a bit. The previous layout was way too white and plain.

From The New York Times, “Behind Bars, He Turns M&M’s Into an Art Form” (inspiring)

From Ghi Chep, “Forbidden Thoughts” (provocative: Must be a Yahoo’s 360 member)

From BBC News, “Bed sharing ‘drains men’s brains’” (interesting)

From The New Yorker, “The Storm of Style” (informative)

Our dear and generous Dieu has shared 5 Dong Ke’s Tu Tinh Ca, the best Vietnamese a cappella album up to date. So what the heck are you waiting for? Go cop it now for free 99. Thanks Dieu, the quality is fantastic!

Imagine going into a large room and see 500 people giving oral sex and screwing their brains out. What better way to start the summer?

I would love to have a copy of 500 Person Sex for review. LOL! Japanese people are mad freaky, aren’t they?

Here are some of my favorites:

Black KKK (That is one wicked skit)
The Niggar Family (This one is mad crazy)
Keepin’ it Real (Man, he is trippin’)
The Internet (Just love the concept and the spam busters)

Yes! It’s not only a crime, but also a sin to purchase bootleg Paris By Night‘s DVDs. Mr. To Van Lai even quoted the bible in his VNCR’s interview to prove his point. We should buy original products from now on or else we would go straight to hell. Applying the bible on business is a clever move, but only works on film, like what Samuel L. Jackson does in Pulp Fiction. He reads a verse before he shoots the person.

Visualgui.com has been the space for me to discuss music because I couldn’t find any other Vietnamese voices, until now. Allow me to introduce Thang D. Nguyen who is a writer, saxophonist, and music critic (mostly modern jazz and Vietnamese pre-war songs). His bio reads: “Thang D. Nguyen is a writer, editor, and communications consultant. He pens frequently on Indonesian and Asian affairs for international and major Asian newspapers. His publications include three books: Indonesia Matters, The Malaysian Journey, and The Indonesian Dream.” His essays could be read on his blog at Thang D. Nguyen’s Column. While he has a wide range of topics, what intrigues me the most is his knowledgeable view on jazz.

Here is another music writer who visits Visualgui.com. Don’t know what he does for a living but he writes music as a hobby like me. He has a very interesting range.

Hit me up, if there’s more Vietnamese voices out there.

Long day at work? Just kick back to these two tracks:
Nancy Sinatra’s “As Tears Go By“
Roberta Flack’s “Gone Away“

In addition, check out Truong Ky’s piece on Don Ho (part 1).
