There are some bands, you just feel, they like Asian food too much. Like Placebo for example. Just look at them, you can already tell Brian loves to chow down to a nice large plate of 'Nasi Lemak Ayam'. Otherwise why would he come here so often. Never mind 'Nasi Lemak Ayam' is a Malaysian (yeah!) dish and the band has technically never been to Malaysia, I am currently prophesying that they are going to. And from what I figure, what I prophesy, tends to come true. Take Rachel for example, I prophesied that she would be by [...]
If you hate the taste of wine Why do you drink it till you're blind? And if you swear that there's no truth and who cares How come you say it like you're right? Why are you scared to dream of God When it's salvation that you want? You see stars that clear have been dead for years But the idea just lives on In our [...]
It has been offically decreed that January 2010 will be known as the International Day Of Gigging Around Splendid Singapore month (also known as DOGASS month). Who decreed that, you're asking? Oh, dear dork face; me of course. You've obviously not seen my other decrees, have you? Like on 25 May 2003 when I anointed it as the Globally Awesome Worldwide Day In Recognising A Woman's Knees (now commonly known as GAWDIRAWK), or on 6 February 1964 when I announced the start of Rapunzel's Annual Workers Konsul Involving Greco-American Wrestling Dudes (better hailed as RAWKIGAWD). Sheesh, get with [...]
Hujan are looking for a conclusion. I am full of conclusions. So in the spirit of selfless living that my self-help guru Sensei Saki Onmai Daki (he's Turkish) has been teaching me to aspire towards, I now offer Hujan a few free conclusions: - Turtle shells go great with leopard pants. - Wilbur is 37 times more than Frank. - Parking spots are best parked into when munching on alfalfa. - This is not that. That is. Stunning stuff, yo? Thanks, Sensei. Now tie my laces. Track list: 1. 2nd Airwave (Malam [...]
Apparently some prominent concert organizer is trying to bring the Seattle grunge gods over for a block-rocking show. Yes, a concert organizer. I know, even we are shocked why it's not an ice cream seller. Yeesh. Nevermind that a Pearl Jam show over at this side of the causeway is unlikely to not be followed by a show at the other side of the causeway, at the moment, the buzz is all on this side. So I am going to take this opportunity to say, take that! Oh by the way, I've since tricked [...]
Look at that picture above. That's the future face of punk rock for you. Yes, no one stays cigarette-skinny. Cause after awhile, pork lard is just too good to resist and you happen to marry a girl that, above worshiping the holy ground you walk on, also specializes in, yep, you guessed it - a pork lard dish. Then you shower one day and those lovely locks you used to be able to spike up with rebellious abandonment starts shedding. And next thing you know, you wake up one day looking like someone's Uncle Sunny. Just [...]
Bloody shit. It's not funny okay? I know I did pinch that girl's bum during Form 1 history class, and I did lie to Pantsy about that horse gonad being an asparagus but seriously, this punishment is not equatable to the crime. It wasn't even that big a gonad. And plus, Pantsy's got a big mouth. He could easily take two of those in. What was that? He's taken in three??? Shit man, that's a miracle. A horse with three gonads. +/- - Snowblind (from Xs On Your Eyes )
Shit, it's another one. This is like someone taking a dump on my hands and me getting slapped in the face with those same hands after that. On another note, some of us are seriously still quite happy with these developments. In case you must know, Pantsy still has his sexy lips around the gonads of a horse. He hasn't quite realized it's not an asparagus yet. Andrew Bird - Imitosis (from Armchair Apocrypha )
Damn our causeway neighbors. Just when you think we've gotten a few over them (hint: Singapore mee hoon and err ... hawker food), we've gone an taken a beating in the concert department. A Green Day/Cat Power-filled 2 days down south is tempting even for someone as placid as Pantsy. He's gotten so excited, he's bitten the gonads of a horse thinking it's an asparagus. Cat Power - Dreams (from The Greatest (Japanese version) )

Listening to Green Day's music always takes me back to this one specific hour in my life. In that hour, I woke up, brushed my teeth, had grilled pork knuckles for breakfast (the only brekkie for me), flew to school, beat up the school bully 56 times in an hour, whisked the best looking girl in school for some smooch-a-rama at the nearest 7-Eleven, came back home on a high, got kicked in the nuts by my dad for being late, as a result I crapped my pants, I cried running into my room, I decided to be [...]
So we've received news from a new source (new is a big deal because our last one got shot over the Dirty Projectors ) that the bald one (not the power-hungry one, the vegetable-eating one), Moby is set to grace the shores of the soon-to-be-invaded Malaysia come early 2010. We're greeting news of this with great happiness. So happy that Genusfrog got carried away in wanting to eat vegetables that he chewed on a horse's tail instead. He's stable now in the hospital. Apparently he said it reminded him of a potato. Moby - [...]
Doves Some Cities (Capitol) Price: RM4.95 Hah, I finally found out, a snowden is a den in some snowy place. Much like how a hotden is a den in somewhere very hot. Or how a fastden is a den that's somewhere very fast. Or how a geekden is a den that's somewhere between the hot and heavy loving of many lovely women. Webster's definition that one. Doves - Snowden (from Some Cities )
Unlike Pantsy and Genusfrog who routinely cry at the sight of tattoos because they are supposedly so scary, I on the other hand can profess to be absolutely punk through and through. Like I am so punk, my surname should be punk. In fact, instead of The Geek, I should change my name to The Gunk, although that name would be absolutely untrue as well. Note: The MXPX All Stars consists of MxPx lead vocalist and bassist Mike Herrera along with Kris Roe of The Ataris on guitar and Chris Wilson of The Summer Obsession on [...]
I hold an image of the ashtray girl As the cigarette burns on my chest I wrote a poem that described her world That put my friendship to the test And late at night Whilst on all fours She used to watch me kiss the floor Whats wrong with this picture? Whats wrong with this picture? Farewell the ashtray girl [...]
Hope of the States Lost Riots (Sony) Price: RM4.95 You know how some albums are absolutely destined for mediocrity? That no matter how good the music appears to be, no one is really going to get it as such no one is going to buy and the people who like it just don't like it enough to pay money for it. This one appears to be it as I have seen this album more times in a bargain bin than I have seen it on a proper normal price rack. Which leads [...]
Eagles of Death Metal Death by Sexy (Downtown) Price: RM4.95 What the hell? That's a band name? Or is it a description? I am confused. Why can't bands just keep names simple. Like Geekapolous the SexoGoddus. It's a mouth-full but it's simple. If this is the case, I should name my new homemade sex video 'The Geek of Hot and Heavy Loving'. Yeah baby. Eagles of Death Metal - Don't Speak (I Came To Make A BAN) (from Death by Sexy )
These metal jocks seem to love Asia a lot. It's either that or they've not been getting much loving in their part of the world (check out the guy on the far left, do you think he would be welcomed at some swanky French cafe? I don't think so sister). Anyways it would seem we love them too otherwise why would they always end up here. Me, I'm a metal fan myself. Love the noise and the clank of steel. Why? Cause I grew up in a steel mill. You know, big noisy factory? What? Music you say? [...]
So apparently the Dirty Projectors have been 'offered' to a prominent gig organizer in these parts for a show. What 'offer' exactly entails we don't really know. Except that our favorite mumbling pork-loving paparazzi has just been assassinated. So we're assuming it's big. It might have to do with nuclear energy, suicide bombers or more likely, Pantsy' fart, which we heard can send you either time traveling to 1903, increase your brain growth by 12.35% or turn you into an underfed chicken. Dirty Projectors - After Santa Monica Boulevard (from Morning Better Last! [...]
The Cooper Temple Clause Kick Up the Fire, and Let the Flames Break Loose (Morning) Price: RM4.95 Hey so I bought the Belly CD, happy as a bee, ready to pee, to eat dinner with gee and watch footie when I realized the bargain bin offer was a 'Buy 1 free 1 offer'. So it's RM9.90 for 2 CDs. Which if you have not quite done the math (I did the math 20 hours ago because I predicted that I would be bragging about it at this very moment), is more brilliant [...]
