Preacher


Vertigo Comics' 'Preacher' is going to be adapted as an one-hour HBO TV series. Read more about it here.

Life Without Dreams




Fuzz, Eswandy and Daniel Lim's band. It's pretty much a side project for all of them. They have this song 'Magnhild' for download on the right. I call it "Fuzz's chee hong song". He sings on it, wearing his David Sylvian influences proud. But you could disturb him and tell him right in his face that the song sounds like Starsailor!

Check out their MySpace page for more tunes.

Straight guys who love music by gay guys...


Last night at the final Bar None Monday Session (as in really, the end. No more.), Bryan "Man of wise words" Goh, Billy "I don't get shit" Tan and I were talking.

Billy had an idea to set up a new blog for music reviews. However, the twist would be we'd only cover music by gay men. And he'd ask Seng "President of the Anti-Blogging Movement" Woeiyuan to contribute as well.

Seriously, I was skeptical lah. I mean, how many good gay artistes are they out there? Billy mentioned we can cover Scissor Sisters, George Michael and Pet Shop Boys. Well, it piqued my interest but I was still slightly unconvinced. Then I remembered and mentioned, "Hey, we can cover REM, Rufus Wainwright and Judas fucken Priest!!!" Yes, singer Robert Halford is gay. 'Breaking the law', indeed!

This is going to be good. So we are all just waiting for Billy to start the blog which is "Straight guys who love music by gay guys...".

In other news, I, the President of the Anti-non-DJ Association", have been invited by Sujin to be a non-DJ at Coccolatte on Friday 8 December 2006. So I think I should go in as the moniker DJ Straight-hearts-Gay and press play on the tracks by my favourite gay artistes. I wonder if I should play some Kylie?

Lied - Sexyback


Adlin of Lied told me last week that they were playing for an all-boy's school prom. And they were going to cover Justin Timberlake's 'Sexyback'

Here you are. Download it ASAP!!! I love these guys! Good friends but like what Morrissey said before, "You hate it when your friends do it better than you..." I wanted to cover this song but is beaten to it by Lied. Looks like I've to bring out Beyonce's 'Crazy In Love'.

And the Lied boys would be coming down next January to perform. Of course, I requested that they play this and I do the Timberland parts. Heh.

Confession Of Pain




The synopsis:

In a city of love and prosperity, a city of lost hope and premature death, veteran detective Hei (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) feels it all: the hurt, the helplessness, the horror. When his father-in-law, the billionaire benefactor Chau, is gruesomely murdered in his palatial mansion, he enlists the assistance of his former partner turned private detective, Bong (Takeshi Kaneshiro).

On the surface, the murder smacks of a vendetta that has taken a lifetime to fulfill. But no sooner has Bong agreed to crack the case with Hei than he realizes nothing is what it appears to be. Undoubtedly, they are after a monster in a perfect crime: every detail was meticulously orchestrated, every motive conveniently justifiable, and every culprit and potential witness mysteriously eliminated.

But Bong has his own demon to fight. Ever since the suicide of his pregnant girlfriend, he has lost his joie de vivre, even though he still retains the finest instincts of a man hunter. As he digs deeper and deeper into the case, all evidence seems to point to Chau’s daughter and Hei’s hysterical wife, Susan. But then the killer ups the ante by murdering Susan as well. Bong starts grappling with the suspicion that the man they hunt is someone very close to them, someone on the verge of a total breakdown.

Like lost souls in a city of fallen angels, the cop, the private detective, and the killer are doing what they must. Every step of their journey takes them closer and closer to one another, until a shocking denouement in which no stone is left unturned and no one can escape unscathed.


Repeat, this is not a date movie. If anything, it's prolly a chick or dick flick, depending on the group you watch it with. I mean, are you sure you wanna bring a girl to watch a movie where she spends the next 90 minutes drooling over the 2 male leads while you are trying to make out with her in the cinemas? I guess not.

The trailer is here. The movie opens on 28 December and the official site is here. Just don't read the official Mandarin synopsis. It practically gives away the ending.

Serene and Jay-S

Went to have a great seafood dinner with Jay-S (the gangsta rapper formerly known as Jason Siau), his biatch Serene and Maggie to this small Johorean village near the 2nd Link. We've got played out by Billy in the end. It wasn't cheap though. RM55 each but I, for one, was pretty happy that we made all crusteans a little bit more endangered...

Can't wait for a 2nd round...

Her Ass Is Righteous


After Weiyuan and Yeeyong mentioned to me that I’ve not run the 'Her Hair Is Righteous' thing for some time. So here we are.

Reon Kadena.

According to Wikipedia,

Reon Kadena (かでなれおん Kadena Reon?), also known as Kadena Leon or Minamo Kusano, (born February 19, 1986) is a Japanese model and actress. Kadena is a female Japanese idol who is distinguished by her innocent appearance and large breasts.

Earlier in her career she did nude photoshoots, but since becoming more famous she no longer does nude photoshoots or videos. Her current videos and photobooks largely feature her in costumes, bikinis or lingerie.


But I’m sure many of you guys out there are very familiar with her body of work, (Haha, I kill myself…) especially my good friend whose name is very similar to mine. Just that his starts with a ‘B’.

Topher Grace on Venom


Hmm...


Everyone loves MySpace. Well, almost, lah.

So as some of you guys might know. I oversee like 3 bloody accounts, Aging Youth’s, The Lard Brothers’ and The Love Experiment’s. Interestingly, I’ve gotten an add friend request recently from this local band The Question Fades. This is their site. And I click on it to see who the hell they are and what they play. So the music genre is Christian and rock. So I rolled my eyes and read through the bio. More eye-rolling. Sorry, doodes, Christian rock and me are mutually exclusive subsets.

Then they said on their bio that it was an all-girl band. Wooo… interesting.

So I clicked on their pictures to take a look and saw this and this. They were all in their CHIJ uniforms cause they have to wear it every morning!!! As some of you might know, I’m quite partial to the uniform since I’ve worn it last year for Halloween.

Somehow, I feel slightly guilty for adding them. I’m not sure if you guys’ve been to The Love Experiment’s MySpace page but take a look at our Top 8 Friends.

I feel like I’m corrupting the young… Sigh. Just when I’ve so many friends who are paid monthly to do that as an occupation.

Star Wars: Fix You




Got this off Billy too. A mash-up of Coldplay and Star Wars. A TV advert for an upcoming Star Wars marathon. It just shows how brilliant a man George Lucas was 30 years ago and how much he has fallen since then...

Hustler - Simian Mobile Disco




From Billy. Gets better towards the end. I'm already there for the after-party!
