Scattered Sun and Poetics of Sound
Friday, August 1st, 2008It’s been a while since I last indulged my interest in music. I know that we can now easily find albums and download torrents online, I just think that it’s different when you hold the album in your hands. I guess since I’m a frustrated vinyl collector, I have to be content with the next [...]
Sit With You Beautifully
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008When you think of life, what comes to mind? Do you have what Milan Kundera speak of as “the unbearable lightness of being”? Or are you completely weighed down by the realities?
It’s easy to fall prey to the need to self-preserve. It only means that you love yourself. You know what’s important. You have it [...]
Universe and U, KT Tunstall: A Birthday Gift
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Rico was all mysterious about his gift for the past week but he would openly tell me that it’s coming.
He’d say stuff like, “You’ll like my gift” “Can it be my gift for your birthday and Christmas?” “I’m on my way to buy your gift now”. He certainly made sure I’d expect the gift. When [...]
I’m Listening to Kala
Friday, May 18th, 2007The first time I ever heard a Kala song is way back in December 2005 (if I remember it correctly), just when I got back from my first trip to Australia, and it was their song, “Jeepney”. Twasn’t even on the radio where I heard it from, twas on TV — their music video. I [...]
The 7Tube Tagger Game
Sunday, September 24th, 2006Rico tagged me for this 7Tube Tagger Game.
Now, I’m tasked to list 7 songs I’m listening to off-late, and 7 people I want to tag to continue the game.
Whaa–?!
It would’ve been better to ask me to list 7 albums not just songs. [grumbles]
“Myu-zik iz zee wahterr o’ mee soul.” Teehee.
Anyway.
Getting on with the [...]
On Fire
Thursday, July 13th, 2006I’m currently listening to this song for the nth time today. I’m addicted. I just might have memorised the lyrics by this time! Heh.
Anyway, I cheated and just decided to google the lyrics so I can check what the band, Switchfoot, was singing about. I was so intrigued as to why I’m drawn to the [...]
Paper Thin Hymn
Tuesday, April 18th, 2006I just had to write it out.
I’m utterly depressed. Why is it difficult to get want you really want? Pain is a given. If only tears would come and ease some of the hurt away. Or perhaps I can scream and let out pent up frustrations.
I’m angry. Disappointed. Frustrated.
To make matters worse, this came at [...]
The Church
Saturday, April 1st, 2006I recently bought a copy of the album, El Momento Descuidado, of the Australian rock band, The Church. I’ve been listening to it for the last couple of days.
I first took notice of the band when they performed the song, Under the Milky Way, in the Opening Ceremonies for the Commonwealth Games, evenwhen they’ve [...]
What a funny coincidence…
Friday, March 10th, 2006Hahaha.
My brother-in-law, Jeremy, just told me he bought a new CD that he thinks I would love to listen to. It was still in the store’s bag. When I went and looked inside, I found a James Blunt CD. Totally hilarious. He only heard of him because of me, you see. My friend, Jay, knew [...]
Mad Season
Friday, March 10th, 2006It seems like it is a mad season.
The past few days has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for me. Some days I’m excited. Some, confused. I find myself highly annoyed, wanting to pick a fight then there were moments where I’m just sitting out front sipping tea, listening to music and having [...]
