100 Ways Of Living

Lu Guang-chong

Team Ear/Rock

★★★★☆

This week's picks come from a goofy nerd from Taiwan.

Lu Guang-chong, whose English name is either Vitas or Crowd,
makes a deliberate attempt to be anti-fashion.

His standards get-up - which is so unhip it hurts - comprises -
a mushroom hairdo, geeky plastics-rimmed glasses, slogan t-shirt with shorts,
sneakers and striped white sports sockd of a length that can only be
euphemistically described as retro.

It works as a perfect foil to his brezzy brand of indie-pop that is ironically
fetching & trend-setting.

While Crowd Lu's looks certainly won't kill, his talent just might.

The songs on his debut full-length offering, 100 Ways Of Living, are produced
by Cheer Chen's Beau the Golden Melody award-winning collaborator Tiger Chung.

Featuring Crowd Lu's lackadaisical drawl & dexterous guitar playing, these
honed gems leave you gobsmacked.

Flirting with folk, jazz, swing, pop ballads and just a teeny bit of noise-rock,
he cooks up veritable audio feast that have earned the attention and praise of
the Taiwanese media.

Chow down on the cheeky Campus Beauties 2008, the David Tao-esque title track,
and the cool Don't Kill Me, which kicks off with a cuckoo clock going off.
