Los Soberanos

I finally bought 2 Los Soberanos CDs! I’ve been dying to get them since forever. Contemplating back and forth cause of the cost of postage and it’s in Euros. Argh.

Saved quite abit thanks to Christmas. I love deals!

At times, waiting for the right time to buy something pays. This, coming from an impulsive yet plan-before-I-buy-anything buyer. It’s odd. I’m a walking contradiction. We’ve established that.

Can’t wait!

I noticed, I haven’t been able to blog lately. As in, full length entries. I think it’s the Twittering. Don’t feel the need to blog anymore. I used to think that the day I stopped blogging, is the day I don’t have anything else to say. Wrong. I stop blogging cause I’m going blind. And at the risk of repeating myself, I try to limit what I say and where. Tiring.

In other news, it’s 3.30am and I can’t sleep.

Before I leave, I discovered another kickass Mexican Band. Los Padrinos!

Kiss me Hardy, Said Bob

When Bob met Francoise.

Intense.

Geva

In an alternate universe, I’ll appoint him as my boyfriend.

In reality, he’s an Israeli singer-songwriter. And I want to have his babies.

It could get complicated, no?

Music Junkie

Why I love music?

Reason:

My dad’s CD collection. This is not all.

Currently.. circa 06|10|09

No Doubt

I was semi-wrong. F1 don’t suck at all.

I get to see N.E.R.D. (again). But way closer to the stage this time.

Finally got to see No Doubt. Fuck yeah! \m/

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING BATHWATER & NEW! XD

Easy Breezy

I don’t blog much since all my updates are done via Twitter now.

It’s a known fact, I get really giddy when I discover new kickass bands online. I love how my ‘research’ usually leads me to random music blogs or myspace pages.

One of my finests discovery to date:

Best Coast

LOVE. They sound retro-ish. If you’re into Californian pop back in the heydays. Think Beach Boys and the happy, shiny blondes in the 60′s maybe. Somehow I get a Shangri-La’s vibe from the lead’s voice. I don’t know. I just dig this alot. I’ve been listening to their 4 tracks for the past few days. If I could, I want to get their album. Tried googling it but only find cassette sales. Huh?

Have a listen:

Something In The Way

Here Comes Your Man

there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man

I’ve got The Pixie’s Here Comes Your Man stuck in my head. I blame it on (500) Days Of Summer. I’m pretty sure I’ll love the movie. The hype can’t turn me off. Not with such apt songs in the soundtrack. It’s definitely no, Almost Famous. Possibly my second favourite movie after Dead Poets Society. But heck. The Smith’s Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want is sucha an anthem for me. It’s like the sucker’s song to emo-ness. When you can’t get what you want, listen to this track and weep. Weep tears of blood – just like a vampire. Gah! I can’t help it. I love True Blood (TB) too much.

Doesn’t help that I’m sucha sucker for kiss-in-the-forehead scenes/moments. T_T

I think it’s one of the sweetest things in life.

As I’m listening to Here Comes Your Man over and over again. I can’t help but think about how I would totally dig Alex even if he’s not an actor. Seriously. Stop rolling your eyes or giving me the whatthefark look – I’m dead serious.

The current sorry state of affairs also known as Hey, I don’t have a love life! is getting pretty old and terribly unfunny. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not clamouring for a boyfriend. I just wish any Alex was around in my life.

I don’t get how girls are consume by real boys. They’re too smarmy for my taste. Maybe I just haven’t found the right kinda guys. Whatever that means anyway? The ones I know and liked are either humourlous or too chicken shit to do anything. Maybe they don’t like me. Oh well. Not losing sleep anytime soon. As long as I’m busy fangirling, I think I’ll be fine.

For now, I’ve got my viking vamp. Don’t even mind sharing it with all the girlies. For once, I’m not territorial. Like whoa?

Life of a working semi-adult

Semi-adult = cause I’ll never grow up. Or at least, I hope I won’t lose the youthful charm (which I doubt I have in the first place). Cues self-deprecating humour. 

Past few days have been an absolute chore. The weekend was fun but oh gawd, my sleeping schedule was so freakin screwed-up, it’s not even funny. I swear my body was doomed to break down anytime but nope. I held on. Strong. Well, not really. Considering how I ranted about feeling goddamnblardy lethargic. Endlessly.

I’ve been swamped at work. Today was the only day I had time to breathe and leisurely surf the net. In the guise of ‘research’ for my next article. I’m partly honest about this. Truly need music news for my monthly 1 page music blurb thingymajig. Which I enjoy doing immensely. Even if it means bringing back work home.

It sure doesn’t feel like work cause I do it during my free time anyway. Listening to music and forming opinions. Difference is, I now have an audience. Slightly daunting. I just found out, a relative reads the magazine and notices my name on the byline. Pressure.

I got really excited when I stumble upon God Help The Girl. A musical project by Stuart Murdoch from Belle & Sebastian. The man is a genius.  I dig it very much. The whole thing. The concept, the voice, the general vibe. GAH! It’s been on repeat since my discovery. 

MAJOR LOVE!

Click HERE to learn more about God Help The Girl. If you like Belle & Sebastian, especially The Life Pursuit, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this. 

I get really giddy when I discover kickass bands.

I sprained my neck because of this..

Someone was trying to dance. Flailing arms included.
