a new header and a new chapter in democracy

been such a long hiatus. but today is important enough to warrant a mention.

an ode to 156

ah, more passion. i still think passion pit is the pits. i like electro. that i’m sure off, but not them cutie, un-jantan-ish blokes who look like modern cookie cutter music institute nut sacks. plus, my definition of passion is so old school you could nail the bugger on a cross.

i really cannot relate to this rubbish. my main problem with it, is the singing. or is it singing to begin with? i saw a video of their live gig. it was atrocious. you can never go wrong with singing in falsetto. but this idiot actually is a genius of a retard, by making it sound really chalkboard like. it grates. like hell. like rugburn.

musically, there is something to look forward to. in very minute doses. just have to can that wolly of a singer. only time will tell if the next album is a cracker.

this is waaay overdue. i was supposed to get down to writing up my report on the pearl jam perth gig by monday but i fucked up. so, on my behalf, i’m terribly sorry about the delay. i haven’t got any real good photos or sounds from the gig but i’ll tell you this. it was amazing.

given to fly – 20-10-2009

i was prattling on with shan and kenny at the hawker shop in Ipoh over lunch about my new found lust for life and about growing up with a  loved one…(here and here). in this case, pearl jam. this new found push to the fold may be timid or insignificantly tame, but i’ll take what i can get.

i wrote about this a few many months back and suddenly with the release in america this week and its impending release in Malaysia next month, everyone seems to be going and buzzing in my ear and on facebook, “oh, did you see that trailer?” yes, i did… back then.i’m so glad that people are digging the same thing i see. that life, that vibrancy. that bounce. the reviews have been mostly glowing. so i can’t wait. i think i’m going to try to organise a movie night for this. 🙂

why it pays to be in a crowd…

I’ve been dying to put out a post n some of my favourite pearl jam “covers” / collaborations that really get me going in the morning.  i tend to forget with the workload. but since i’ve been on a roll here, i thought i’d make a run for it.  in no particular preference, here we go…

unconfirmed factoid leading to the promise of lots of lager

buzzcocks are coming. and will likely be playing in Kuala Lumpur featuring songs from their 1st two albums, “another music in a different kitchen” and “love bites“, as part of their “another bites tour 2009“, around the 6th to the 8th of november, 2009. nothing’s confirmed until you’ve heard it from the appropriate channels.
