Hey folks,

thanks for sharing so much stuff! I was a bit busy the last days so I haven't yet been able to hear much of it but I'll catch up on that starting from now

For everybody who likes rock, I also have something to recommend. I usually tend to listen to the songs I stumble upon and grow to like and not care about researching the interprets, so my information about the band itself is kind of sparse. I do know that they call themselves 滅火器 (Fire Ex., I'd give you the Hokkien reading for the characters but I can't find the word as a whole right now, only the seperate characters, so I'm not sure if I'd choose the right reading) and come from Ko-hiông and that's about that. Their songs are not exclusively in Hokkien but the vast majority is. And although deciphering their songtexts is always a bit of a pain because they write them in an even more mandarinized way than I'm used to, I like their songs enough to work through that

If you want to check them out, these songs might give you a good impression, but there's more of course:

I listen to all the songs.
Beautiful & meaningful lyrics. Like it.

aBun,

It would indeed be Bia̍t-hóe-khì (with dialects variations on hóe), but I'm guessing everyone refers to them in Mandarin, even in Hoklo conversation, since this word hasn't been adopted into Hoklo AFAIK.
