A good close friend of mine will soon be jumping over to the greener side of the field. I can’t help but feel a void crawling into me. True, we haven’t met much lately, which was really my own making. But with her going, there will no longer be chances for the random lepaking, the mamak dinners at Pandii’s, the walks at the mall or the groceries (yogurt and canned tuna spread are musts), or even the occasional movies. Or simply the good enjoyment of your company.
Soon, all that will be gone. I wish I could stop you from going. But you leave for a better life, which is really a good thing. And to be closer with your inspiration, that’s a huge plus. I know I should be supportive, but at times like these, I really do want to be selfish. I have only myself to hit my head on.
I guess the part that I will miss the most is seeing you smile, the Kate smile.
I know this song already meant a lot for you than it will be coming from me. But here’s to you, for your new found life.
To all youse geeks out there, Weezer will be releasing a brand new self-titled album (yet again, now dubbed “The Red Album”) on June 24, 2008. The first single, to be released April 24, 2008, is this track.
This is one supergroup reunion that I have missed out last year. X Japan, once the biggest band to come out from the land of the rising sun (Japan lah), released I.V. digitally early this year, topping the iTunes’ daily chart. It also appears on the soundtrack of the movie Saw IV.
It is no Endless Rain (one of them jiwang songs which I like, a lot), but it is still a rock epic that fits well to the name that is X Japan. Oh, and the whole song is in English. But, why?
This song (the original Sigur Ros’ version) has been rotating heavily on my list of late. (I tend to really repeat songs that I’m into for the moment). Yes yes, old track. But I’ve said it before, music have no expiry date.
Anyhoo, here’s a decent attempt by the goofy Scientists (linked from á la discothèque).
I’ve been searching high and low for this track for months. I first heard of this track back in the 90’s on the Pop is Dead compilation cassette tapes. The 90’s rock!
I don’t really listen to J-Pop or to any of that genre (X-Japan is an exception), but this cover by one Miss Angela AKi is too good to pass (anything Smashing Pumpkins-related is too good to pass!). The song is in Jap, except for the chorus, which she sang in English. Check out the video and get the track below.
