a penchant for out-of-tune stuff
mar 24. reasons
was once asked for a reason for liking music so much. it's another
je ne sais quoi thing. but i guess music takes no sides, and interpretation
is up for grabs. so i guess that's it.
-------
feb 9. the end has a start
you know what. i am still riding on the highs from the "phew, thank god 2008
is over" effect; not that it was particularly bad, or that the year ahead would be like wowow,
but i've got this 'back to basics' eureka lalala in my head and it's a good notion, albeit a strange one
-------
oct 1. the start
hopefully i'll update this stuff regularly though no one would read this;
we should spread good and sometimes obscure music around, but then again
obscure loses its charm when it ain't obscure no more.
i swear that gotan project is the perfect accompaniment for blading. somehow reminds me of the winter olympics. ie. speed skating with ice skating music.
Run away from all your boredom Run away from all your whoredom and wave Your worries, and cares, goodbye

// 010 under the iron sea
spent 8 hrs shutting out the world with snow patrol's final straw, citizen cope's self titled debut + the clarence greenwood recordings and keane's under the iron sea blasting into my ear 'plugs' from ione2 (a la my ipod)
a very depressing mix of songs.
a bad dream . track 5
I wake up, it's a bad dream No one on my side I was fighting But I just feel too tired To be fighting Guess I'm not the fighting kind Wouldn't mind it If you were by my side But you're long gone Yeah you're long gone now
crystal ball . track 9
Lines ever more unclear Not sure I'm even here The more I look the more I think that I'm Starting to disappear
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball Save us all, tell me life is beautiful Mirror, mirror on the wall Oh, crystal ball, hear my song I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong So put me where I belong
we all either need one of those (crystal balls) or a personal jesus.

// 009 snow patrol . run
And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Anywhere from here
Light up, Light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
the most depressing song i've heard in a while. at least it kills angst.
bullet and a target the clarence greenwood recordings
The church wasn't honest The state put the youth in a harness Creatin' hostility among us Teacher said no college Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas People wanna bomb us More people gotta scatter and run from us You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis
But what you've done here Is put yourself between a bullet and a target And it won't be long before You're pulling yourself away
psychological warfare, shootings, war. people are dealing with serious situations and here we are complaining about trivialties.
caught the song on cold case (brilliant show), the viewer transcends time with music and clever filmo tricks that have a strange effect on us nostalgic people. so much so that there's a weblisting of all songs played on the show
obviously referring to shirley manson and probably one of my fav songs here...
though this song might more aptly suit the picture... and my mood now.
you wanna live freely don´t wanna die you want it? you got it you chase the high you wanna be out there you wanna race you wanna take over just gotta play
why don´t you come over and walk in my shoes
I´m a good person don´t wanna fight with no-one but you piss me off you keep pushing , pushing you´d best step off the gas girl all bets are off fuck you you taste like toxic poison I wash my hands of you

// 005 runaway this time without you
Try this on, straightjacket feeling so maybe I won't be alone Take back now, my life you're stealing
Yesterday was hell, But Today I'm fine without you Runaway this time without you And all I ever thought you would be, That face is tearing holes in me again
i guess it's all a state of mind. and how space, time and event screw with it.
dwelling is a waste of time. nothing really matters.
is the one binding lyric snipet that links the two local artistes worth listening to... i listen to.
well before i get socked i need a disclaimer. *mando pop is not my cuppa tea, esp since the appearance of 'mandopop humming birds' at work(thank god for earphones)
i don't like those loud grunge bands. and one particular person with an attitude problem.
before i get socked again, i'll just do the smart thing called wussy self-censorship. or at least sound ambiguous.
tanya chua
back in the colour tv set days, she was already raw and fantastic. now hopefully she'll get the chance to produce a new english album soon.
*imean she has a couple of really good mandarin songs. but tanya eats potatoes. ie. not cheena
electrico
i just like the somewhat raw sounds. and the keyboardist keyboards
