Em. and I just got back from a lovely weekend break in Kenting at the southern tip of Taiwan. I enjoyed the relaxing get-away all the more since I delivered the completed Further East album to Lemongrassmusic on Friday. I’m very pleased with it, but now I’m anxiously awaiting the label’s feedback for improvements. I’m still getting used to this step in the process after years of going it alone and having the final say in everything ;^) But it’s exactly the kind of relationship that writers have with their editors and in the end serves to make a better final product. Here’s to that!

***UPDATE***
I’ve just had word from the label that they’re taking the album exactly as I gave it to them! No revisions necessary. A tentative release date has been set for the end of November.

In this case, lack of news is good news. I have my head down working on the new album and it’s coming along nicely. The album will be called Further East and it should be available in December. Watch this space for more news.

I’m working hard on a new MoShang album, destined for release on the German Lemongrassmusic Label. The download only album should be out in December and I hope to include 10 new tracks and two older ones that have not been included on an album yet. I’m very excited with the way things are going, but I have my work cut out with a music deadline of mid/end-September.

I trawled the MLO archive for this week’s mix. Since the musical snippets I make for this podcast generally get only a single airing before being relegated to the archive I think it’s fair to go back every so often and revisit old friends.

I got to take a turn on the red carpet with Kou Chou Ching at this year’s Golden Melody Awards in Taipei on Saturday. Kou Chou Ching was nominated in the category of best band for the Unsung Heroes album that I was featured on.

The award went to the band 1976, but it was a great experience being at the event. It’s the second year that Kou Chou Ching was nominated and I’m pretty sure they’ll win the award somewhere in the future – they’re hard-working guys, so it’s great to see them recognized.

We’re at about 1:30 in this YouTube clip.

Thanks so much to Provider for making sure I looked the part – they have an outlet in Taipei’s trendy Ximending ;^)

Apologies for the delay in getting this one out – had a hitch recording the set last Sunday. Never fear, though, now it’s here!
