Got this from Koff Koff. Thanks, dude! You sure know how to brighten up a dull work morning!

Nice... part 7
The B-Quartet launch show went well. Had a great time. With the exception of a tune or two, the band delivered a tight-ass performance. Well, we have it captured on audio. So, I guess Weiyuan would have to sift through 1hr 50 mins worth of material. And the lighting was decent!!! Fuck you naysayers!!! (i.e. the rest of the Aging Youth crew. Bastards!)
Now, we are done. I'm resuming the Lard Brothers' Forest Action Team project. Currently, we are hoping Dewi-marie's schedule to be less hectic so she can come in and sing on 'The Boy From Katong'. Ditto for Joanne for our cover of TypeWriter's 'Enemy'. If all goes well, Billy should finish up his vocals for 'Radio Station' this week. I'm hoping we could track Sujin for 'Plainsunset' and Haykal for 'Circling Square' by this weekend.
I really hope to finish this project fast. My backside is getting itchy. I wanna do something else.

Transformers: Animated
Cartoon Network launched a new series last year, following the movie. They absorbed certain elements from the movie while retaining a similar storyline from the original cartoon. Optimus Prime is cast as younger and not much of a focus. The storyline tends to inject more humour than any previous series. Read about it here.
The first episode is here. The following episode features the Dinobots!!!

Final-fucken-ly!!!
Portishead releases news that they will be releasing their 3rd album Third in April! Fuck yeah!
But I'm not holding any high hopes...
Portishead - Glory Box (live)
Still my favourite tune! Can slit your wrist while listening to the tune!!!

Heath Ledger dead...
Both Billy and Robin sent me the news about the same time. Here it is. It's kinda upsetting.
Interestingly, I've always thought the character design for his Joker is quite similar to Brandon Lee's The Crow. Probably, it's the hair.

Hmm... part 19
Max always gives me shit about my love for Justin Timberlake. This is coming from a guy who listens to Take That. Seriously.
So here's my favourite Justin tune, dedicated to my buddy Max.
So cry me a river, dude but he was the one who introduced me to the Johnny Marr-produced act Haven. I rikes. However, apparently they are dropped by Virgin Records and left in limbo these days. A real pity.
Here's an acoustic tune found on Max's blog.
To The Bone
But this is my all-time favourite Haven tune. Yeah, I have this song as my ringtone. It pissed me off when people started singing along to my previous one '(I Can't Give You Anything) But My Love'.

Jacen was sweet enough to mention us on his website. He's done quite a bit of short films like 'Tak Giu', 'Zo Kang', etc. He did the Lunarin music video and did the principal shooting for the Zero Sequence video. Well, I gotta pitch The Lard Brothers to score his next short film. Hurhurhur...
Here's Lunarin's video for 'Silverpiece'.

Get Off That Thang Thang Thang!!!
This is the last and third one we are doing. I'm happy that we did an annual series of shows which focus on other forms of music rather than rock and whatever-is-the-flavour-of-the-month. We featured electronica acts and turntablists alongside with jazz, reggae and funk bands. It was fun but this should be the last time we are doing such programming. Trilogies is the in-thing until Sam Raimi decides to go ahead to do Spiderman 4. Then, quadrologies will rock our boat. Good friends Fishtank and Ugly In The Morning will be performing over the weekend.
In turn, hopefully, we'll get to do our final event in the "Spank The Monkey" series: "The Monkey Said, 'Ohh, Spank Me One Last Time!'" some time this year too. No, I'm not fucking you. That's really the name of the show.
Anyway, Robin of Camra will be sessioning for Sea Bed Sound. He's roped me in to play keyboards for them. What I mean by playing keyboards is using only 1 finger at any point in time. Yes, I'm doing an Alvin this Sunday. We are opening for the Kuala Lumpur act The Otherside Orchestra. They are a kick-ass band which moved from doing post-rock to their own blend of rock'n'roll, funk, dance and more rock'n'roll. Fer fuck's sake, they have their own strobe lighting operator. How cool is that?! Check out the video below.

The Lard Brothers part 6
As mentioned previously, we will be performing alongside with The Karl Maka and I Am David Sparkle this Saturday at 730pm at *scape, Youth Park. Ian is handling bass duties while Yeeyong is supposed to do keyboards and guest vocals. What transpired last Sunday during rehearsal was:
Yeeyong: Eh, how do you sing the bridge for 'Enemy'?
Ian: (after demonstration) Okay, now I taught you. You do it.
Me: Go for it lah.
Ian: I can't! I'm playing the bass. Can't sing at the same time. Very shy about it.
So we rehearsed a little. Yeeyong sang a bit.
Ian: Eh, your pitching is quite off at certain parts.
Yeeyong: Fuck lah, you do it then.
With the mike "in hand", Ian did the entire song in gusto and the cover of 'Girl From Katong' as well. Shy, my fucken ass. So Ian will be helping us on lead vocals this Saturday. Come down and watch his maiden live karaoke effort. I mean, how can you say no to a face like this?
