At It Again...

Well, I've seen some other folks' blogs before. Either a) they are the extremely overt "I'm-suffering-oh-God-why-am-I-suffering-so?"/ "My-dog-has-died-on-me-oh-God-why-me-I-hate-the-world" kinda exhibitionistic showcase or b) the other end of the spectrum, the "I-am-an-online-Socrates-my-musings-are-philosophical-and-da-gospel-though-I-still-insist-people-should-have-their-own-thoughts-and-these-are-only-my-own-opinions".

In any case, this blog shall focus on my trials and tribulations (yes, narcissistic, so what?) and my thoughts (solipsistic, but of course). You can sue but I personally won't recommend it. So as you can gather from the previous posts, I mainly write about my first love (not beer, that's like 2nd or 3rd all-time love) music. Listening to it and playing it.

Recently, being the slack ass I am (this is the "I-hate-the-world' portion I ripped off other people's blogs, being all whiny and all), I haven't really been practising on my stuff. Then again, the hidden love for electronic based music has surfaced like Godzilla from the ocean to stomp Tokyo (thus, fulfilling the part b) portion of my 1st paragraph). I think I've been listening to too much the Postal Service. There's like a sudden influx of the bleeping (yes..bleeping) genre of electronic music called IDM or Intelligent Dance Music. Seems like an oxymoron, I know. IDM constitutes mainly of, well... bleeps and pulses that are quite unlike House or Trance that we are used to. For easier reference, check out Radiohead's "Kid A".

A drinking kaki of mine, Jason Siau has given up on his fully registered blog for a while. Hehehe, I smell an opportunity like a shark smell blood underwater. I hope that he'd let me post some pictures and mp3s, linking back to this blog. Yes, this is an open tender, my friend!

The mp3s would most likely be some of my own stuff that I do in my spare time as some of you might know and even have heard before. As I've mentioned, the recent inspiration to me is very electronic based. So, let's see what I can churn out with using my crap PCsoftware...? Henceforth, it pretty explains the Lounge Lizard moniker.

Akan datang maaan....

In a strange turn of events, I was at Max's place this afternoon. While I was hammering away at a drumkit, he was whacking out Depeche Mode's "Enjoy The Silence" Linkin Park style, complete with rapping and the soft-loud dynamics. That was really a hoot. In addition, we did a couple of covers ala The White Stripes, just guitar-and-drums. I was Meg White to his Jack White maaan... Anyway, I thought it was a riot that we started to play Spandeau Ballet's "True" and shitloads of 80's love ballads through a overdriven amplifier. Yes, we even did "Right Here Waitng". Finally, we managed to sneak out an original piece which harks back to the shoegazer era of Britpop. I think we should be polishing that one pretty soon and see what we can do with that.

Perhaps, it'd be posted here soon? I certainly hope so...
