the waking up and blinking
Its a sat morning, yet i'm feeling wide awake dispite not sleeping much yesterday and having studied the... erm most of today
dun know whats keeping me up tho,
could be the impending exams and my impending doom...
nah, dun think it could be that bad
just today, me and darren brought, timothy, this poly interviewee around cs and he happened to be a film-maker whose film is travelling to canes!
along with *i think roystan tan and jack neo's latest works.
to say the truth, i was abit dazed to respond properly and proceeded to rave about canes without asking the least bit about his film
which was really the point, really
got distracted by the prestigious-ness and red carpet treatment of the event
i really should have asked him about his film, even if it wasn't going to france or even if it was a work in progress.
even if it was an idea.
i dun ask questions and seem to take everything for an answer
and that in itself is a pretty bad problem...
gotta find a way to correct myself
its depriving me chances to really get to know things and respond better to people
whys likes thats sias.....
proper sorry frown
i guess some things can still hit you when you least expect them to.
unsuspectingly, when a blank search page quietly answers the thought that has been circulating for some time. what if all you could do was to surrender meekly to your insercurities and set yourself up for that emotional upheavel that you've been trying to avoid or pretend.
you could, for instance, be as nonchalant and distant as before.
but it would have got to you in the end anyway...
so the best thing, he thought, was to soak himself in the company of these ghostly songs. which features uptight and complex personalities tearing apart the notions of conventional confessional love songs.
and there he was, at ease.
* these are weird times and weirder conicidences, but no matter how weird they are, conicidences are mean to be treasured even if it's for a fleeting moment.
i don't want to do it your way...
these hipsters aren't likely to be geezers anytime soon
but while it lasts, here's one of their cooler tracks of the 2nd album Room On Fire Chekit out la...
ahem, may i present to you..... one of more under-rated, slower but still dramatically poignant Under Control
anyhows, their new one is not too bad as well, its different and slightly less raucous, sort of starts to stick itself to you after repeated spins, especially with both the singles.
eh but its pretty badly panned so.... go figure i guesss..
well not much to write today, eh i guess our childhoods do play an important role in our lives, take for instance something completely random, eh the Super Mario Bros!
i mean if anything that was once part of our lives so many years ago but so easily forgotten can incite a feverish, hilarious and fantastic 'discussion' amongst 5 dudes, it must mean something!
yeap and so does this song
eh its not exactly everyone's cup of tea but somehow, i think i have accquired an unhealthy obessession with this band
erm besides owning most of their back catalog, i recently accquired a four bloody disk box set! for fuken close to nothing! (eh maybe except 15 minutes of concerntration) woot! eh ok... i jguess i just wanted to tell people that and let them marvel at the wonders of the internet for themselves....should stop now
happy erm mugging people, and if you aren't, well technically, you should la...
and erm sorry for the boring post ..as i've said got nothing to say la
never gone - xD
hmm... seems like everyone's back into blogging again. i might as well just start typing some stuff just for fun.
i realise i'm so stoned recently, could be the non-existent school work, or the punishing self imposed downloading schedule that i'm supposed to strictly follow.. (daily knock off timing - 3 a.m., number of full albums got - hopefully about 4?) maybe its the fucking humid weather lately..
right... just blame everything at the unsuspecting weather how convenient...
that said, the music's been awfully, awfully fantastic. just friday, i was re-reading Norweign wood (something on my to-do-list for awhile, and i found it in an NTU library! how apt...) and itunes seemed to take a life of its own and starting spewing all these wonderful tunes, not once did i even click 'next'... only proves downloading erm .. rocks.. haha
and to further harp upon the wonders of the internet, go here to serve all yer song requests.. ok maybe not all, but its "FAN"-tastic. its like how all the smart people seem to like to hang out together and derive all the right answers, yeah something similar, simply replace or rather equate "smart people" with "music lovers with blogs".
speaking of music lovers with blogs, here's some new-ish stuff that might interest some people...
Graham Coxon - Standing on my own again
- from the former Blur axe-man, a really good slice of power pop and return to form, continuing from his previous album, the new one's all about snappy guitars and punchy choruses... try it out eh?
Art Brut - Good weekend
- another chunk of british-ness, this time the infectious and hilarious Art Brut! just hear them rip at modern 'pop culture' i'm sure you'll be hard-pressed to disagree : )
Anyways all links expire in 7 days and i'm pretty sure no-one's gonna go get them la.... this is just for my own sick intentions of mimicing music blogs that have opened my ears to stuff rather generously. or some form of a tribute, i guess...
good (downloading) days ahead!
i guess some things can still hit you when you least expect them to.
