Death of the Excel Spreadsheet, 2005 Taken from an old MySpace blog post I made in 2006… The Story Behind the Song: Death of the Excel Spreadsheet was written around July 2005, when I was in Bethesda (near Washington D.C). It never had a title till I uploaded it on Myspace. But the story behind [...]
This girl stood out like a rocket in my mind a few months ago, and has been lingering since. You may have seen her / heard her by now. She is Yuna. Although she may be in the early stages of her music journey, she is one of the rare local singer songwriters who, I [...]
Have I raved about my evening with Broken Social Scene yet? Huh? You know, Broken Social Scene? One of my favorite bands of all time? Going to see them live was the DIVINE PURPOSE of me driving all the way to Singapore. And it paid off. Also because there were some other tasty bits: I [...]
Maybe you’ll like this as much as I do. Acoustic sounds, dreamy effects, and sincere, heart-wrenching vocal style, melodic songwriting… this is Enik from Munich. He’s more intense and electronic in other songs. I first discovered him through the writing of Cry Bloxsome, probably the only modern writer I think about when I think about modern writers. [...]
Why not go busking at the Bukit Bintang crossroads at 3am, with migrants from Borneo dancing and making song requests? Yeah, why not let’s do that. Call the gang. No, it didn’t happen like that. Click here to read the full story, published on TheCICAK.
Imagine… the right music, the right people, the right vibe… all the elements needed to smile for no reason. When was the last time that happened? For me, it was 2 hours ago. Been attending (and organising) quite a few gigs over the past year, and until tonight, I admit I was almost getting used [...]
I watched them twice, tonight, and the night before. Depending on the song, their music sounds 50′s nostalgia + post rock + jazz + a crazy drummer who can’t sit down… they’ll be back here in February. The band’s name? Sore (pronounced soh-ray). Check out their MySpace.
ProjectBazooka is at it again, with our 5th installment of live local music. Jamming it into your ears! One Buck Short, Telebury, and Single Track Mind. FREE GIG. yes. Thursday (tomorrow) 9pm+ at LaundryBar. I can’t believe it’s been 5 gigs so far. Just a recap… we have had Flatline, DejaVoodooSpells, BrokenScar, Curtis Blues Review, [...]
I’d like to think I’m slowly improving each time I perform. I’m hoping to polish up a few other songs I have, but I’m in no hurry. Click here to download the video, or, download a clear mp3 from my MySpace. To read the lyrics and the story behind the song, click here. Thanks Lezel [...]
I was almost slightly maybe sad, leaving LaBodega KL tonight. It was the last of many open mic singer-songwriter events held there. Why? The venue will be transformed into a steamboat restaurant in 2 weeks. Sei Hon, Jaz, Jerome, and Azmyl have been organising these gigs for over a year now… see “troubadourskl.blogspot.com”:http://troubadourskl.blogspot.com My first, [...]
