popmybubble Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 If you go here MTV Thailand it might give you an idea of what's 'hot'. There's a thai music chart and international chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKAsok Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 อะ ตู โกราซอน สู่กลางใจเธอ is a good one and 'bpop maak' at the moment (doesn't really translate well into English, so I don't know what to tell you, but copy and paste in Google and you should be able to hear it somewhere). It's by Rose, from the album 'My Inspiration.' It's a cover of a classic Thai song and pretty much identical to the original except she sings bits of it in Spanish... mk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I let some of my (musician) friends from back home listen to Bodyslam. They all agree that this is a good band. Quality musicians they said. Very good beat, with a solid drummer. But of course, it might not be the type of music everyone prefer. Worth listening to, just in case. Absolutely worth buying a CD, if you are here. The price is low anyway, and if you dont like it, give it to a Thai friend, whom will most likely love it.

Hahahahaha. Don't think I know a Thai who doesn't love Bodyslam. I'm also liking Kanom Jean's (what a great name) ระหว่างเพื่อนกับแฟน but then I've got a weakness for sickley-sweet Thai pop songs. No idea why, but if it's in Thai it's fine. If this stuff was in English it would make me puke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65Craig Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'll admit it right away: I know nothing of Thai music.What is hot? What is popular? What is good? What are old time favorites? Please enlighten me. You can go here: http://www.ethaimusic.com/archives/index.php Click on the bands you are interested on the Left Column. They have almost every big Thai Artist out now. It's great, because you can listen to the songs, get lyrics translated to English, as well as phonetically, so you can actually sing along (Karaoke). What is Good? Well that's a loaded question. Because, some things I like, people probably think is crap. And vice versa, things other people listen to, I think is crap. Here's what I like: Metal: Ebola and Retrospect Hard Rock: Silly Fools, Big Ass, BodySlam, Clash, Hangman Pop: Da Endorphine (and her old band just Endorphine) Rock: Modern Dog As for concerts here in Chiang Mai. I've seen all the bands listed above. Many play product sponsored festivals (Macona Trio, 100 Pipers, Singha, etc.). If you look around though, you often see posters advertising smaller club shows. Last week I saw Da Endorphine at the Mandalay, and a couple of weeks before that, saw Retrospect at the same place. Anyway, check out the site I mentioned above and see what bands you like. If you like one in particular, ask around, as you may be able to check them out live (wherever you are staying). If you live in Bangkok, I know all the bands above play there often (as they all live there). Unfortunately for music (Fortunate for every thing else:-)) bands don't come up here to Chiang Mai as often, so it's more of a challenge to find good shows. Oh yeah, many have Myspace accounts and you can interact with them through that as well. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaccha Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'll admit it right away: I know nothing of Thai music.What is hot? What is popular? What is good? What are old time favorites? Please enlighten me. You can go here: http://www.ethaimusic.com/archives/index.php So on my MP3 player is: Guided by Voices Oliver Tremor Control Communist Pop of the 1970s, Vol.2 Monkey Todd Rundgren Brian Eno Scott Walker Steve Reich Star Wars- The Musical Peking Opera of the poems of Mao Tse Tung Egyptian Pop of the 1970s Lambchop Ute Lemper Divine Comedy Vietcong anthems Magnetic Fields David Bowie and other stuff... So what Thai pop will I like... It would need to be bizarre, orchestral or hyper-minimalist, almost certainly virtually unknown in Thailand, and definitely does not have a 'snap drum' backing track... Any suggestions?

Gaccha Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Num Ratchapat by Damrong Wongtorng. About a young man in debt dreaming of being rich one day. Almost thought this was worth a peak... until I realised I had accidentally been listening to this and the suggestion above http://www.ethiopiques.info/ at the same time... It sounded pretty wierd. Not exactly Bowie or Eno but it was kind of wacky to hear them both at once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
