I’ve been listening to the latest LP by a wonderful Japanese singer named Amiyon. Have you heard her? It’s for just the right vibe and I’m loving it!

This week on my Instagram I posted about one of my favorite songs/albums, -“Heart Shaped World” by #ChrisIsaak ! It hits just right when you’re in the mood for it. #MusicBoxTW #NowSpinningVinyl #音樂盒咖啡黑膠所 #嘉義市

延續上週的影片，這週在店裡放了亞洲功夫世代的黑膠來聽～
我自己超愛他們，為了收齊他們的黑膠專輯可是花了不少功夫！
你有聽過他們嗎？你最喜歡的日本樂團是誰？

Are you familiar with Japanese pop/rock music? This week I decided to spin some Asian Kung Fu Generation at the shop. I’m a big fan & had a great time tracking down all their albums on vinyl! Have you heard of them? Don’t forget to like, share, and leave a comment below! 😊

I have a large record collection. I tend to sell off some when I realize they don’t really do it for me. So I really do love the vast majority of my records. I have some really odd ones & some surprising ones, so I’ve been making a video series “Why is THIS in my collection”. Today’s is Gazebo.

Chilling at #MusicBoxTW this afternoon with great tunes. Very eclectic mix of customers. Went from traditional #Enka to #CityPop to #GeorgeMichael to #GaryMoore to #Kansas to the new #LadyGaga … feeling dizzy but it was a blast! Ending the night with a new customer and an album by local hero #WuBai

That record look waaaaaaay too big. It looks awesome… just …. Big. 🤣

Tom @ MusicBoxTW @musicboxtw.bsky.social · Mar 19

Since day one I’ve been obsessed with “The Bolter”. It’s not her most personal track or related to anything in her life that I’m aware of, but lyrically and musically I just adore it. Am I alone in this? 😳 #musicboxtw #taylorswift #taylornation #thebolter #ttpd #nowspinningonvinyl #nowspinning

Oh my god. What a track. It’s an amazing intro to JD if you’ve never heard them. Besides the obvious , all their 12” tracks were massive tracks: “Novelty”, “Atmosphere”, “She’s Lost. Control” and my personal favourite album track “Disorder”. #JoyDivision #MusicBoxTW

Dang it. That was supposed to say “blew”. Lesson learned: always reread before posting when dictating. 😝

Oh! Spun this here at the shop yesterday and blue a teenage customer’s mind. 😁

Oh god. I can’t choose some of these tracks. I ended up with a few ties where I would literally die without one song or the other. 🤣

Tom @ MusicBoxTW @musicboxtw.bsky.social · Mar 16

Had a really chill afternoon here at the shop. Listened to a huge random selection of music.🎶 spun today: #JoyDivision #BowieBlackstar #CelineDion #SarahMcLachlan #KateBush #JohnnyWinter #RubenBlades #WillieColon #鈴木一平 #FrankSinatra wish you were here! 😁

Living in TW for 25 years, I keep discovering hidden gems. Tonight I listened to a 1980 Japanese western style folk LP by 鈴木一平 (Ichiro Suzuki) “北緯43度” (“Latitude 43 North.”). Has some nods to Simon & Garfunkel style picking & strumming, but sung in Japanese. Gorgeous&moody!

Simon!

Tom @ MusicBoxTW @musicboxtw.bsky.social · Mar 13

And I actually ended up opening a vinyl café to spin it, buy and sell it, and hopefully meet new friends in the process! It’s not so much about the destination, but the adventure in getting there! Join me here and on other socials with #MusicBoxTW I’d love to meet you! (Trolls need not apply)

An ikea Kallax bookshelf showing approximately 10 out of 20 squares, each filled with about 25 upright vinyl records. Most of the artists and titles aren’t clearly visible but the Doors and Fuzz Club Records stand out on a couple of spines.

Recently discovered City Pop and although a lot of it is a bit bland, there are some really gorgeous gems hiding in the pop music of Japan! What is something you missed first time around? For me it would be Yumi Matsutoya from Japan and Lightning Seeds from the UK. I have a huge record collection…

I need to get busy on here. I want to find my tribe & inspire each other. Anyone here love pop and rock music, with a particular fondness for the music of the late 60s through to 2010? Doors, Beatles, Depeche, Bob Marley, Editors, Taylor Swift, Kylie, Sabbath, Field Mice? K-tel and NOW compilations?

I’ve been listening to great music all day at my café. Had a ton of customers with loads of different music tastes. It was great! After the last one left, I spun Talking Heads “Speaking in Tongues” as I closed up shop! Awesome Saturday!
