let me know what ya'll think...

I don't know the title for this song and I can't find the lyrics.

This is pretty cool.

歌词:
一个人开门，三个人进门，
六个人对着电脑不觉得闷，
九个人对着电视机不觉得闷。
两个人坐着，四个人走着，
八个人站在桥上拥抱亲吻，
十个人看着别人拥抱亲吻。
一个人睡了，两个人累了，
三个人隔着墙壁听鼾声，
五个人隔着玻璃听哭声。
数数的手臂酸了，
数数的眼睛疼了，
数数没有以前好玩了，
数数是无聊的孤独的。
一二三四五六七，
几个人没坐过飞机，
几个人在商店里偷过东西，
几个人的口袋里藏着武器。
十九八七六五四三二一。
几个人正在伤心，
几个人正在高兴，
几个人在大街上迷失了自己，
几个人在梦里找回了自己。
一二三四，几个人刷牙吃饭。
一二三四，几个人甘愿平淡。
一二三四，几个人出门带伞。
一二三四，几个人阳光灿烂。
一二三四，几个人神情慌乱。
一二三四，几个人正在腐烂。

I've not been successful in finding Chinese music in these genres.  The only exception I'm aware of so far is I-GO:

Anybody else a fan of this music style and/or familiar with other similar Chinese artists?  I need Mandarin lyrics to aid my learning :)

I was able to find I-GO using the information in Bazza's "List of Music Genres" post (Synth-Pop 合成器流行) (thanks Bazza!)

From what I understand the name 与非门 is a logical NAND gate

If anyone knows how to purchase their music in the U.S. Please let me know :D

Qin is a seven-stringed plucked instrument which has a long history of 3000 years. It is said that the Qin is created by "Fu Xi" and "Shen Nong". The Guqin is made by wood and there are seven strings in the wood and so the Guqin is called “Qi Xian Qin”. Though there are only seven strings, Guqin can play various tones. The tamber of Guqin is connotation and deep, plain and elegance, Guqin was listed as the head of “Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting” by ancient writers and scholars.

First off, if a topic for this exists.. oops?

I think music is a great tool for language learning, it's how I learned emotion words in Thai - and I hope that it will work the same for Mandarin Chinese. However, I've been trying to find some Mandarin Music that differs from the mainstream bubblegumpop boybandy stuff that is around (not that I don't love a good fluffy song once and a while).

Can anyone reccomend any good Mandarin Language Indie bands? I stumbled upon Sodagreen, Crowd Lu and 1976 after some searching - but I can't find much else. Suggestions appreciated!

Do any of you know Chinese vocabulary for playing guitar (or are extra crafty and know how to find such vocabulary)?  I just bought an acoustic guitar and would like to talk about it in Chinese.  Below is a list of words I would like to know.  Some I have already translated.  I would like to know if my translations are right.  In some cases, I am confident in my translation, but I have indicated that I have further questions that I hope someone can answer.  Others I couldn't translate at all.  Hopefully, someone can help me along with those as well.

Acoustic guitar vocabulary words:

1.       acoustic guitar: 木吉他

2.       guitar neck: 吉他的琴颈(Is this the most common word?)

3.       guitar body: 木吉他的共鸣箱 (Is this the most common word?)

4.       tuner, tuning peg:  

5.       (guitar) string: 吉他弦 (is the measure word 条?)

6.       pick verb/noun:

7.       pluck:

8.       strum:

9.       (guitar) strap：吉他带

10.   out of tune: 走调，音调不准

11.   in tune:

12.   (guitar) fret:

General music vocabulary words:

13.   note: 音 (What's the measure word?)

14.   chord: 和弦 and弦 (is there a difference?)

15.   (musical) scale: 音阶

16.   major chord (e.g.  A major):

17.   minor chord (e.g. A minor):

18.   A#:  升A调 (tiao2 or diao4?)

19.   whole step: 全音 (What's the measure word?)

20.   half step: 半音 (What's the measure word?)

As always...

Thanks so much!
