Hereâs few things to deal here: Old-time style radio programming style still lingers somewhat even in the most commercial-ish radio network like 91fm in Vietnam. I have heard several instance where they just simply take the songs from Youtube and played it out, and in a few cases it caused end credit voiceover could be even heard uncut. They do have own music library, but because most of the programming are under presentersâ autonomy, so often they would pick songs from Youtube and import to the networkâs music library. Thatâs why the log above may look a bit strange to you.
91fm doesnât record the log, so I have to manually record the log with the help of Shazam add-on on Chrome (tbh, Shazam on my phone is having some problems that they couldnât identify any song - doesnât know why). Also, they would never advertise themselves as âVietnamâs best music mixâ or something, but rather âInformation on every kilometersâ, which make it even more odd to your ears. This is because the network was initially all-traffic service, and still primarily carry traffic infromation (especially during high peak time, but entertainment programming would fill the rest), and the music choice above is because theyâre targeting the broad demographics of âcar driversâ, which, in Vietnam, are primarily young adults to middle-aged.

The Shadow Of You Smile - BĂłng DĂĄng NỄ CÆ°á»i (Thu HĂ )
A long rant/note: I typically donât compile logs during this program because the program mostly consists of obscure Vietnamese songs (which is why I write âmusic of the forgotten eraâ next to the program name). However, I decided to log the âplaylistâ this time because the episode on that night is all about âforeign music with Vietnamese lyricsâ. Due to the historical reasons, foreign music was quite hard to be âimportedâ to Vietnam, so the music industry has created an âintermediateâ by re-using foreign melodies/songs but has Vietnamese lyrics. One of two presenters of The Nostalgic Songs, Minh Äức, said that this was how many people - including himself - got access to the âforeignâ music when they were young. The words from him really melt my heart: Right now itâs so easy to get access to the âoriginalâ versions of foreign songs in real quick, when you have the smartphone, so you guys may feel ânormalâ, but when rewinding to back in the day, itâs very precious because if itâs not listening to radio, then you guys have to go to a tape store that may took a time to get a tape you want. Many older people, because they had been exposed to the âVietnamese lyricsâ version of these songs, are still prefer that version, even if they may have heard the âoriginalâ version so many times. That is, in his word, being extreme in a cute way.
For me, thatâs truly The Nostalgic Songs - where music from the forgotten era really alive again. (an ally of The Breeze AU, I think?) @myfriend
