Loney, Dear Dear John (Polyvinyl) Price: RM9.90 Dear John, It has become apparent to me that you do not like my pumpkin pie. This really hurts, you know. When I served it to you last night, the first thing you did was throw it. And then you had the gall to tell me that it was because 15 masked men were climbing through the windows. And then when the masked men were rushing at us with their katanas, you had double the nerve to tell me to pick up the [...]
There is no better way to celebrate the conclusion of Chinese New Year than at an Iron Maiden concert. Why? Because in the midst of stuffing yourself silly, watching a Jackie Chan movie and OD-ing on peanuts, there's nothing like an iron maiden to bring you back down to earth. My dad used to remind me about how I should learn to wash dishes better by putting me into an iron maiden. It's quite nice. A little ticklish at times. Although one time, I think I lost an arm, and another time, I had my whole face ripped off. But [...]
Ah the prospect of this show excites me. I mean like seriously excites me. Unnaturally excites me. Any show dubbed 'playful sex' in Japanese is a show I want to go to. Never mind what it is about. Elephant on stilts? Sexy. Music? Yeah, it's absolute music to my eyes. Yep eyes, not ears. Why listen to playful sex when you can watch it? Why indeed. Asobi Seksu - New Years (from Citrus )
When you hear a rumour about two of your hip-hop icons making their way to these parts next year, you can't help but get all warm and fuzzy and think back to those childhood moments, when you first discovered them, when life was simpler...ahhh...oooo...ommmm. .. Doodeedoodeedoodeee... Uhhh, what was that? Where am I? Oh well, look at this. It's a meadow. And look, there's Uncle Boogoo! He's the one who said to me back when I was a little urchin, "Boy, there is nothing quite like living 3 years, 5 months [...]
Craziest rumor we've heard this week is that ballsy bluesy duo The Black Keys are due for a show over in these parts. It's crazy because it's either completely true, or that we are being lied to, and as usual, we are just believing it because it's so awesome. Not that it's fresh seeing as we believe all sorts of insane crap all the time. Like the other day, someone told me that you could buy a Tiger and Peacock hybrid animal in the pet store and we believed it and rushed there only to find thay don't have 'Tigercocks' [...]
Copeland Black Hole Sun (Fearless) Rare factor: Sugary sweet Floridan band cover gloomy Seattle grunge classic for a tacky punk compilation? The first time in the series that the original band is actually more punk than the band covering it. Allowing Copeland to cover Soundgarden is like eating fried chicken with chocolate sauce. Not that it does not work, but well, it's just a little strange. Me? I prefer my chicken with strawberry sauce myself topped with some cherrys and a scoop of 'durian' ice cream. Now that my friend, is [...]
I just love the idea of side projects. Besides being able to seem something in a different light, it allows us the space to do something different from what I would usually do day-to-day. Like how on a day-to-day basis, I would usually, pick up my flame thrower, head out to the woods behind my home and torch the whole forrest looking for some truffles. My wife has indicated that it might be a little drastic but I told her that one should not compromise on good food. She then said something about how 'where we live, truffles [...]
Word on the street at the Sectoid haunt behind my house is that Birmingham duo Broadcast will be 'broadcasting' into these parts really soon. You know, kind of like how Megan will be Foxing into town after them. And how Paris will be Hiltoning when she is on town after Megan. Me, I'm just a pig that's going to be pigging on some pig soon. Hmm ... something about that last one did not sound right. No details as yet, but if you don't hear anything in a year then consider us farting as [...]
You used to feel like a smoker Shivering in the cold Waiting outside the bar Until the opener's over But now you feel like a drinker Twenty days off the shots Down at the liquor store Trying to call your sponsor You used to feel like a forest fire burning But now you feel like a child Throwing [...]
Our sources tells us that Danish noise/garage rockers The Raveonettes may be making a stop at the land of Kimba. The source in question is the same one that dropped the Flaming Lips one on us so we're thinking it's pretty solid. Never mind that it's basically a Jennifer Love Hewitt poster on the side of a dilapidated hawker centre speaking to me in Liam Neeson's voice and calling me 'baby'. My mom taught me to trust all things, especially the bosom of a beautiful woman and the voice of Aslan. The Raveonettes - [...]
I never told anyone this but I am actually from an Ivy league school. Yeah I know, it's obvious but I still feel the need to point the obvious out. Like oh, there goes Olivia Wilde ... around my arms. He he, yeah, okay scram Ol' Wild One and go get me a lemon lime bitter. Ah yes, Ivy league, the fun times. When the grass seemed greener, Hulk seemed greener, peas seemed greener. Green Lantern seemed greener. Martian Manhunter seemed greener. The world was just one big green blob (oh wait it is) and I could [...]
You've been famous since your birth And a silent one it was, Til they told me it was a girl And everybody gasped I know how to raise you right Teach you how to read And your maths and alphabet And how to be polite You've been famous since your birth [...]
Today, our pet durian told us that the word on the tree is that the Flaming Lips will be dropping by Singapore in November. I know, I know. The above statement is so completely mindblowing, right? Yes indeed. Our awesomeness has just been magnified by the simple fact we own a pet durian. We actually own a pet papaya and two pet mangosteens too, but they don't tell us much besides what they had for dinner. But our pet durian, on the other hand. Now she's a trooper. The other da... Eh, sorry? Oh hi, pet [...]
Image courtesy of Ms SecondInLine There is a very important reason why this picture of last night's Album Leaf gig is black and white. No, I am not trying to make a statement about the colour of the music. Nor am I saying that the dude playing the violin was so hipster that my retinas have lost their ability to detect green and yellow (not blue though). The reason this picture is black and white is because last night, George my cute little pet skunk decided to kungfu kick a lorry, and [...]
This is The Smashing Pumpkins! Yep, they are a duo. What? I'm missing a couple of members? No way. The Pumpkins is basically a short skirt, knee-high boots and a bald head right? Right?! Shit. The Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise (from Siamese Dream s)
There is absolutely nothing ridiculous about a band from Ontario, Canada naming themselves after a city in Japan. People do it all the time. What you say? Name themselves after town and cities that is. Imagine having a name like Mongolia Lee. Or Prague Chan. Or my very own - Bunghole. I was told it's a small town in France. I naturally believed the person . I mean when someone looks like that, there's no reason to doubt her right? Of course not. Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate (from Elephant Shell [...]

When your girlfriend let you down Made you the laughing-stock of town A minor mistake caused major heartache When your friend forgot to show And you stood there all alone A small detail was added to a trail Of bad affairs Of people who don't seem to care But when your heart breaks you feel the sweetest ache [...]
This weekend, our spunderefundous Pirate Genusfrog will be getting married. And because all good marriages need a good wedding, he is also having one. And because you're not 1/16th as cool as us, you're so obviously not going to be there. So we've decided to help you get in on the action by telling you precisely what you are not going to be a part of. We're inclusive like that. Band Of Horses - Cigarettes, Wedding Bands (from Cease to Begin ) First, everyone will smoke. This is the second most [...]
Having The Temper Trap play 3 shows in Indonesia and none in the rest of the region is like chancing upon three clones of Adriana Lima and keeping her all on my bed and not distributing them out to my friends. It's just not fa ... ... hmm ... I love The Temper Trap. Details: Date: 10th November 2010 (Wednesday) Venue: Hard Rock Cafe, Bali, Indonesia [...]
