Something irrelevant now, I am

Last year, Malaysia was named one of NME 's 2005 cool places for being the bootlegging capital of the world. This time, Malaysia was in the NME news for wrong reason again. I was browsing through the NME site, " Pussycat Dolls cause controversy in Malaysia " was spotted in the news section.

Before the gig, I didn't want be to get too excited because there were chances that me and companions couldn't get in. With me were my sisters and the indie duo live down the next road, and we were all underage for the seemingly 21-above & non-muslim event. It was a longer journey than usual to get to the venue as the traffic was terribly jammed. Luckily we took that into account and we left our place early. Once we reached Zouk , my sister quickly went to the Channel V booth to claim the [...]

When I found out that Mando Diao 's third album Ode To Ochrasy is coming out on 25th August, it just reminds me how much I used to love their previous efforts, being Sheepdog one of my favourite songs. Alongside The Hives , they are the revivalist of garage-rock sound in Sweden. It is good to hear some kick-ass music with unique accents coming out from outside the great UK. Here I've [...]

Yesterday I was hunting for some great bargains at HMV during The Singapore Great Sales , and suprisingly I found Razorlight 's sophomore album on the new releases rack. It is supposed to drop on next monday in UK, but the album is available in record stores at every corner of Singapore. I suppose the Asian version released earlier that that of other regions, or the store rooms have been so occupied that the people just shoved the CDs to the racks. However, I don't think I'll be able to find it [...]

Scandal verdict awaiting... Beirut - Postcards From Italy
After 6-month drought of live rock music , I can finally set my eyes on We Are Scientists . According to The Star , the Brooklyn-based indie outfit is slated to play at Zouk KL on 9th of August.

Punk revivalist quartet Billy Talent is back with their sophomore LP. Billy Talent II , is the Canadian band’s new musical offer since the 2003 release of their breakthrough self-titled debut. Scheduled to be released on 27th June 2006, it was leaked onto the internet 8 days earlier. This record is a viciously catchy 47 minutes with angst-filled guitar tones and some shout-along choruses. One of the stand-out differences from their debut is the way vocalist Ben Kowalewicz has tempered his screeching lungs of steel to reveal his inner punk rock [...]
