Now for some
run-on sentences - - yeah!!! - - OK so this site started off as an Asian
music site because I felt all the cool bands I liked were getting lost on
my other site - then to fill it up, I
started adding bands I didn't give a hoot about - so it turned into a general
information site about different type of Asian music - weeee - Then I started
adding other countries & now it's pretty much anything goes - sort of.
Anyway always remember you don't need to know the language to enjoy the
music.
