Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

The Love Experiment loves EarShot

We are playing another acoustic show this Saturday 28 October at EarShot @ The Arts House at 8pm. We’d be opening for The Very Serious, Joe Ng’s new outfit. Bryan will be helping us out on electric pump organ, accordion, trumpet, spaceship sounds and any other assorted weird effects sounds, courtesy of his Roland guitar synth.

Google vs. YouTube

Film Threat ran an article about Google buying over YouTube. Okay, Film Threat is not exactly like the expert in the whole corporate takeover business. In any case, I was reading an Forbes article about the founders of YouTube Chad Hurley and Steven Chen and the rise of the video sharing phenomenon. There was that Forbes 400 as well which states Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page as the No. 12 and No. 13 richest men in America. All from setting up a search engine. Gawd... Cannot take it.

And of course, there's that tasteful article about a very distasteful man Donald Trump. His daughter Ivanka's pretty hot though...

Supercar - Be

Got this from Joe Foo. Quite funny music video. Not work safe, doodes...

Mr. T - Treat Your Mother Right

Love those camou shorts, dahling...

What I did over the past weekend...

Last Friday, I was out attending Huixian’s company’s anniversary party with some friends. They threw it at Top 5 which is situated at Orchard Towers. Yes, the Four Floors of Whores. I love that name! Damn catchy! Pretty interesting place. For once, the male topless dancers looked a hell lot better than the female pole dancers which looked like Filipino maids. Quite an ugly sight. Here’s a photo of the pole and some dancers. Some of Huixian’s coleeagues started humping the poles as well.



The stage looks like a mini-MediaCorps production with a LED backdrop. Nice. I like that. The entertainment was more cabaret like with people dancing. Pretty interesting and different from my usual fare of bands and DJ music. A very much welcomed change. Had to rush back to work.



Leslie of The Observatory had his acoustic album launch on Saturday at The Arts House. Was there with Ian, Sujin, Yeeyong, Fuzz, Weiyuan and Bryan. Met Adlin who was there for some work stuff. It was nice to see him but he hardly has any time for us when he’s in town. Boo hoo…



In any case, it’s pretty inspiring. I think everyone should release their own solo acoustic albums as well! Heh...

Stompcast

The video is up here. I thought the uncle drinking the mineral water was the funniest. Hehehe...

Documentary In Amber

They've finally placed a track on their MySpace page here. Great guys and certainly a more "happy shiny bunch of people" since they booted their old guitarist out. The new dude Dakai is a hoot. However, all their band photos are shrouded in shadows and all. What's up with these post rockers dudes? Seriously...

Stompcast gig pictures

More more pictures from Tim who came down last night. Thanks a bunch, dude!







The gig was pretty bad actually. The stage level for the laptop was insanely loud. I was so paranoid that the sound would be thrown out to the audience. Anyhow, when I started fucking up in the first song, the whole thing just went downhill for me. I could literally feel my balls shrinking. I was just glad that the whole thing was over. It was nice that many people recognised the cover of Humpback Oak's 'Circling Sqaure' though I screwed it up.

But our friends were nice and gave us 'friendly friend' comments. Well, the video should be coming out soon. Gawd help us all...

Grind House trailer

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodríguez's new gore flick. Looks pretty funny.

Hmm...

furniture's Ronnie's side project. Apparently, they all performed in baju kurungs and do noise rock. During Medeka Day (Malaysia's National Day), they were the invited guest band at Adlin's house party. These crazy Malaysians... What will they think of next?!

STOMPCAST

Clare actually bothered to do up a banner for us and Lunarin. Much love goes out to her.

JUNK launch video

Force Vomit - Siti

Hmmm...

Somehow, it seems very much like a Daft Punk video but tamileh style. Jay-S and Gracie, for yo' reference!

Ghost Rider

Still doesn't really look promising but I'd still catch it. Wassup with the movie font? Looks like turd...

The Love Experiment loves the Orchard Library...

I really do! I always go to that library to borrow graphic novels to read. I have borrowed Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' (ace stuff!), Jeff Smith's 'Bone' (I love it!) and many others. I just hope those guys who have borrowed 'Concrete' can return the series soon.



Anyhow, we are playing with our sista band Lunarin on Wednesday 11 October 2006 at 7pm. Since they will be playing an acoustic set, we thought we might as well join in the fun.

Agilan will be away teaching drums in southern Thailand. I think it's a missionary trip or something. I'm not too sure. Hopefully, no run-ins with the military insurgents though... We need our human metronome back in one piece.

Well, since he's away, we'd be playing as a 4 piece (2 acoustic guitars, a bass, a keyboard and a laptop - yeah, we keep up with the times. We know it's oh-so Spring 2004 to do the whole laptop thing. But what the hell?). Come down and check us out if you are around the area. Will Weiyuan fuck up playing the MIDI controller? Will I stumble on the lap steel as usual? Will Yeeyong whip out a harmonica and give us a collective blowjob on a piece of steel? Will Alvin strip down to his boxers to perform again? Questions which can only be answered if you catch us at the Orchard Library...

In addition, we'll be playing yet another acoustic set with Joe Ng's new project Very Serious which apparently is a spin-off of Localbarboy on Saturday 28 October at the Arts House. We start at 8pm. This time round, Alvin will not be joining us as well. Cell group meetings. Anyway, knowing Joe, it's probably gonna be a beer-fuelled orgy...

Hahahaha...

Got it from Joe, TLE's mixing engineer. See what context the clip is used for here. Best review I've ever read.

Iron Man

Guess who will be the doode behind the helmet? Check it out here. Fucken excellent choice and I'm finally excited to catch this movie. It just might not stink as much as it would.
