Mojo Films Music Videos

On March 11, 2006 I spent the whole day (left home at 9:00 a.m., returned at 12:30 a.m.) with my friends from the fabulous band, Mojo, Guoxi (or Kuoshi as he spells it - I'm a pinyin user!), Mo, and Robert, while they filmed a couple of music vids for their new CD (it's great, you HAVE to buy it). It was very interesting to see how this was done, but also a little boring since there wasn't anything for ME to do! However, I got to see some of the Taiwan countryside in a beautiful area called Bitan, and I got to visit the recording studio of one of the big bands here, Mayday (¤­¤ë¤Ñ). I also met some very nice people, heard some new and interesting music (Chicken Rice - Taiwan-style rockabilly, way cool), and kept my mind off something that was bugging me.
