This is so sad...

We are playing at the Prince Of Wales pub this Sat again. This time round, we'll be taking the stage at 10pm, opening for our good friends Lunarin.

You know it's sad when you are using the other band to attract folks to watch your gig. Linda from Lunarin mentioned to me that her band uses the Braveheart strategy in times of adversity. When in doubt, always send the woman. Macham like sending Sophie Marceau to meet William Wallace.

Knowing that Alvin can only pull in that many people, I thought it's best we adopt the same strategy as well. Unfortunately, our bassist, Weiyuan is male. Despite his insistence on the reason why he's better than all female bassists (cuz he ain't wear no bra), I don't feel assured at all.

Anyway, people say that chicks with guitars always get guys wild. Here's some pictures of Linda playing bass. Yeah, we are adopting the Braveheart strategy as well.

Sizzling...

The following is an excerpt of CHUD's interview with the EXTREMELY HOTT Miss Jessica Alba on her new movie, Sin City...

Q: Jessica, your character was topless in the comic book. Why did you want to play the character and why wouldn’t you do it topless?

Jessica: She was bottomless too. I wanted to do this movie because Robert Rodriguez was directing it, first and foremost. I didn’t really know it was a comic book when I read the sides, when I saw that he was directing something. I just tell my agent every month what is Robert doing? I want to do something with him. And Lee, one of my agents, has a really relationship with Robert and said, “You got an opportunity.” And I was like, “Excellent.” So I took that opportunity and ran with it. I auditioned the old fashioned way, went in for the casting director, put myself on tape and he had to approve. And it was like a week of “Does he think I suck? I just don’t want him to think I suck. I don’t care if I get the role. I just don’t want Robert to think I suck.” And he didn’t think I sucked and he came down and I read with him and I looked at the, by that time, I looked at the graphic novel and I saw all the pictures. I then found out she was a stripper and was bottomless and topless and, nudity was an option. We could have done it if we wanted to, I just felt too—

Q: Was it really an option?

Jessica: It absolutely was an option. Robert said that we could do it if we wanted to and obviously it would have been more authentic. But I felt like dancing around with a lasso and chaps was gonna be sexy enough. I think being nude, for me, would have been distracting and I really couldn’t be bottomless for my dad. He would really—I don’t know, he would disown me. He would freak out.

Men around the world silently curse Jessica's dad...



I'm totally diggin' her as a blonde now...

I is drinks too much...

I have been drinking non-stop since last Thursday after the performance at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre. Went to catch Electrico and Disagree in action at Rouge with The Massive and our immensely huge posse on Friday.

Played POW pub on Saturday and drank a shitload of free ale.

Helped out at my friend, Seong Huat's wedding. Drank copious amounts of beer and wine on Sunday.

My liver gives a silent prayer to the Lord for Monday is a restday...

The Island

Watch the trailer of Michael Bay's new flick, "The Island" here. She looks surprisingly glam here and a little like Tara Reid...

Cracked me up...

I dunno which band this is but I just stole the code from Max's blog. The video had me laughing. The tune is pretty much stock Brit-pop and the video tries to pull a Pink Floyd circa "Live at Pompeii" era.

Click
here to watch the video.

Like Bonnie And Clyde...

We are life's refugees, indeed...

Watch The Tears' video for the debut single, 'Refugees' here in WMP or Real Player.

Max and Billy, go ape...

The fucken irony...

Was telling my new female colleague that I'm doing the Aging Youth stuff, the whole band shebang and teaching tuition to earn some extra dough. She looked at me flabbergasted and asked me.

"Are you a workaholic?"

The fucken irony of it all...

By the way, my post-disco outfit The Love Experiment will be banging out our tunes at The Esplanade Outdoor Theatre on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 730pm and Prince Of Wales backpacker pub at Dunlop Street, Little India on Saturday 26 March 2005 at 830pm.

I think we should be playing at POW again the following Saturday 2 April 2005. Hey, we get free beer...

In the comic book...

... her character is topless most of the time. Unfortunately, in the movie adaptation, she's not.



Really, such a waste...



When will the movie come to Singapore, I wonder?

At your request...

I just changed the picture of the H.A.I.R. of the month. Several membersss have requested that. Looks like no one can get enough of the lovely Miss Longria...

Holy Batcaves!!!

This poster pip my interest of the movie again!

Highly addictive...

Just sent in a piece of music to Jessica to pitch for her FYP short film. I dunno if she'd use it in the end. But fuck, it's fun to do this soundtrack thing...

I slutted my way into another friend's project. Apparently, it's a comedy. People who know me knows that I'm probably one of the funniest fuckers they know in their lives. I'm like prolly funnier than Yoda with a fucken lightsaber and I can dish 'em pop culture references too.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with the scoring of the soundtrack thing. Hell, it's fun. And finally, I'm starting to use the laptop for what I intially bought it for and not for watching...

DVDs...

Tortoise comes to town...

Somehow, I don't feel the excitement that I'm gonna watch them live later in the day. I just dunno why. Will be going with The Love Experiment sans Melvin who is broke from visiting his girlfriend in the U.K. And Ed The Tech Guy and Bryan. This is a post-rock geek fest at the Esplanade.

The irony of it all?

Weiyuan aka the One With The Mustache ain't even heard a single note before. And Melvin is sorta a fan...

Look what I found online...

Yeshhh, that's Scarlett Johannson... Yeshhh, keep it down, Ed The Tech Guy...

I is very happy...

Had a great rehearsal today. Finally feeling confident about the upcoming performance at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre. We are prolly gonna debut 2 new ones. As Alvin hates "Love Conquers All", this is prolly gonna be the last time we are playing this song and another one which Billy didn't seem to like. Hey, we listen to our groupies...

One new instrumental which we stole the idea from Throb. I think we are calling it "My Purple Head Is Throbbing" as an ode to the fine, fine band. There's a new tune with Interpol-like chords akin to "Obstacle 1" but of course, we gace it the post-disco treatment (whatever that means...)

Hopefully, this time round, we'll nail the set well and all will be fine.

I is very tired...

Just feel like a deflated balloon... Just finished a proposal for a venue which Aging Youth Productions is trying to secure. Trying to slap together some acts for the 1st series. Hopefully, it clears through. Publicity for the series will come through soon. We got the lobang from Sujin. Thanks, members!!! We owe you a beer...

Strangely, The Love Experiment ain't playing for this series. Hopefully, we'll make this one successful and we'd play the next.

Gonna start writing another 2 more in the weekend to pitch for another 2 events. Think I'm getting addicted to it. Hahahah, but if this goes thru, we'd be doing a mini post-rock/shoegazer/noise pop fest which is a pet project of mine. Just because I play post-disco doesn't mean I can't enjoy music which is less sexy.

Speaking of which, my post-rawker frens in Documentary In Amber was telling me that there were 3 girls who approached them to ask for their CDs after their set at Youth Park. And I ain't got none bitch!

I think post-disco ain't sellin' as well as it used to. Fuck.

He makes me smile a lot...

In Sin City, there's a shaky truce...

Will it work or will it fail gloriously?

Sin City final trailer...

Chekkit out...

A Day In The Life Of My New Job...

Hey, my new beeper...


The fans... those adoring fans...


You know, Bob never got over the fact that I hogged the ride in the playground when we were kids... Look at how he turned out to be. He's got issues, I say...

It's back...

In case you guys aren't aware, the Singapore Film Fest site is up.

This year's opening and closing films are both animae, Katsuhiro Otomo's 'Steamboy' and Mamoru Oshii's 'Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence'. Not particular a fan of Oshii since I din really like 'Ghost In The Shell' that much. Too wanky even for me... but I luuuurrrrvvvvveeeee 'Akira'. I might catch 'Steamboy' for the opening?

Still haven't decide what to catch this year. Hmmm... suggestions?

Bouncing Balls...

The guys will love this...

Any free online mp3 hosting providers to recommend?

Yup, that's it.

Sin City

You wanted it...

... you got it. Desperate Housewives HOTTie Eva Longoria is the H.A.I.R. of March and causes a re-insurgence in interest of fine, fine Latin women in men around the world.

They are showing the Oscars tonight. Phhtteeewww... I'm already suffering Desperate Housewives withdrawl symptoms...
