The Lard Brothers part 2

That's Ian who recorded a kick-ass bass part for The Lard Brothers' cover of 'Enemy', a TypeWriter tune. Weiyuan just sent me the fully fleshed out version with a horn section and all. I can't wait for Joanne to come in and record her vocals! Very exciting, indeed!

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction

Got it from Nat. Fucken funny shit!

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Yes, it's a musical... Hmm...

Food as an aphrodisiac

Roy sent me this link. Thanks mate.

I like this quote. Haha.

And a man who knows his way around the kitchen obviously knows his way around the bedroom.

Sign me up at the next cooking class at the Community Centre!

'Transendence' video shoot part 2

Director Jacen Tan of 'Tak Giu' and 'Zo Gang' fame. He did the Lunarin video as well. Hopefully, this one is better cuz I like his shorts better than his music video. Ahem. Sorry, dude.



Check out the massive drum kit. I love an over-the-fucken-top band! I really do!

Weekend of pure hedonism part 2

Ian and me. The fucker is hilarious throughout this trip from being mildly drunk to having MSG-induced migraines. We should go on another road trip again!



Saw this when I was out shopping with Nat. Look at the mouth of the monster and tell me what it reminds you of. Yeah, I thought so too.

Eng Teck's wedding

The hijinks at Table 14 at Lunarin's Eng Teck and Chris' wedding banquet. The video was taken by Linda. Was good fun. I went for some wedding dinners before which were suck-ass boring. The couple did their walk-in to REM's 'At Your Most Beautiful'. Nice.

The Killers - Shadowplay (live)

The Killers covering Joy Division. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Their cover will be featured in the Ian Curtis biopic 'Control' apparently.

Mark Ronson live

So yeah, Weiyuan and I have developed a recent unhealthy obsession with Mark Ronson. Weiyuan loves his production techniques. I love the zany ideas. I managed to find some of the live performances on YouTube. Great stuff.

Mark Ronson & the BBC Orchestra - Apply Some Pressure (live)



Playing with an orchestra rocks. No two ways about it. It just rocks.

Mark Ronson & Lily Allen - Oh My God (live)



She's also covering it in her own shows as well. Like Amy Winehouse and her cover with Mark Ronson of The Zutons's 'Valerie'.

Mark Ronson & Alex Greenwald - Just (live)



Alex Greenwald is a fucken monkey, I swear...

Hmm... part 14

Those who can't sing, rap. Those who can't rap, probably work in MDA (Media Development Authority). Seriously, who approved this idea has gotta be shot!

Wooo hooo part 1

Met up with Robin and Woon for kopi last night.

Robin told me that there was a local extreme sports TV programme which was hosted by Melody Chen. They used The Lard Brothers' 'Democracy' in one of the episodes which he caught on TV. Apparently, they only used and looped the intro. So, Max's voice didn't get featured on national TV.

I remembered passing the producer a couple of mp3s from the acts under Aging Youth Records. But he never came back to me regarding any of the tunes. In any case, it pretty much stoked my ego for the day to know that the tune was used.

Teddy Babes

Nat sent me this link. Thanks, sweetheart. I'm looking forward to this from you for Christmas.

But this is still the real bomb.

All links are not work-safe, of course.

'Transendence' video shoot part 1

So I spent Sunday being an extra for Zero Sequence's video shoot for the song 'Transendence' which is pretty nice. It has a Pink Floyd-esque 'Great Big Gig In The Sky' outro. We recorded till 1am. It was pretty fun though we just sat there. There are quite a few photos. The drum set-up was huge. Will post some photos when I have the time and Simon sends to me.

Jay-Z & The Roots - Ain't No Love (unplugged live)

I've this album and really love the collaboration between Jay-Z and hip-hop band The Roots which is recorded for the MTV Unplugged series. Pretty interesting concept where a rapper is featured. This IS the shit, not the turd he churned out with Linkin fucken Park.

Jay-Z - I Just Want To Love You (Give It To Me)

Apparently, this is Jay-Z's first collaboration with The Neptunes. I love the beat and production. Great video, Jay. Uh!

Weekend of pure hedonism

The Loft, Zouk KL.


Me attempting to listen to Ian's baby kicking. We were at this Chinese restaurant recommended by Adlin.


Me and Nat.


Kim, me and Azza.

Thanks to Nat for the photos. You can see the rest of the photos here.

Walk Hard

Cloverfield

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (live)

If Daft Punk ever comes to town, I'll dress up as a robot and go for the show! I love how they spliced samples from their older tunes into the song.

Lush - Hypocrite

Every indie boy was a fan of frontwoman Miki Berenyi and her engine red hair. It probably helped a lot when Lush was on a super indie label like 4AD. Here's a recent interview with her after she faded away from the limelight 10 years ago.
