飆高音大賽-TANK vs 曹格

Battle of the high voices - Tank VS Gary

WTF. Tank and Gary are amazing. And they sound like girls when they're doing their falsettos. And I knew Nicholas sucked at singing, just knew it. He can't contribute more than 2 cents to his weak voice.

Jeffree Star punched a woman cause she was throwing piss and bottles at him/her.


If you throw shit at a performer at Pride, you deserve to have either your nuts or ovaries torn out and set on fire. The next best thing is to have your face punched in, which is exactly what Jeffree Star did when he finished his set. As it was ending, yet another piece of crap got chucked at him. One of his dancers pointed out who it was and Star flew like fucking Superman over the crowd railing and punched the chick who did it in the face.
Yup, Jeffree Star punched a woman. If I was in his position, I'd have done the same thing. There's absolutely no excuse for what she was doing, and what she got wasn't even enough of a payback. MuchMusic videographer Barb Milner told me it was "the most 'punk' thing [she'd] seen in years."
And even after all that, Jeffree Star stuck around to sign autographs for his fans, where a lot of other performers would've stormed off in a huff and told their managers to go fuck Toronto. Like him, hate him, or just be indifferent about him, he's a class act all around.
Jeffree Star is officially my new effing idol. I shall idolize him/her. Not of the transvestite part but the sheer i-shall-stand-up-for-myself-and-punch-a-bitch-if-she-fucks-with-me attitude. Freaking PRICELESS.
















Do you believe this is a guy turned into a girl? Well, I do. His back seems nicer than his face actually. I don't really like his pink eyebrows, they just seem kinda... wrong?

And oh yeah, just to scream my unhappiness...


I DON'T WANT JOEL MADDEN TO BE MARRIED TO NICOLE RICHIE.

















Joel Madden, one of the greatest rock stars ever, has to marry a spoiled, richass, brat-bitch. ( And she's rumoured to have Joel's child, so we can't kill her since she's having a rock god's child inside of her...)

Actually, to be frank, I don't really like Good Morning Revival too much. I HATE Keep Your Hands Off My Girl. I really like the intro guitar riff and the falsetto, but the lyrics are too repetitive and have no meaning watsoever. I miss their old songs, whether is it I Just Wanna Live or Lifestyles Of The Rich And The Famous.

*sigh* Miss the old times. People always change I guess.



And to scream out my happiness!

Davey Havok of AFI is the sexiest male vegan of the year!!!




I actually wanted Jepha to win... but hey, Davey isn't too bad either.

It took AFI 15 years to get into mainstream, and Davey is enjoying the spotlight like hell. he deserves it man. I loved their Dork cd cover. Real funny. Can't seem to find it now though, wiki just HAD to make it disappear.

And that's all that I need to scream out to the world.




Music Industries

Thursday, June 7, 2007

I really just notice that, the music industry in western countries seriously differs from the music in eastern countries.
In the western music industry, it's mostly sex that sells. Well used to...















Example: Britney now... no one wants her.



I'm not sure what British music sells really... Weirdness?












Example: Mika and Lily Allen.






Chinese music, doesn't really contain much sexual stuff... Unless you count Jolin Tsai. But not as much. It contains mostly...cheesy cute pop. The songs are quite good, but their musical talent is well... not too great. there are some good rock bands, but it seems that pop is over powering them in the industry.








Example: 7 Flowers, ING, SHE.






Japanese music, the 2 most famous are Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru I guess.
But bands that focus on their fashion a little more than their sounds are also getting really famous now. I don't really like their ways of concentrating on their looks instead of music.






Example: Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, Dir En Gray.





But it all sums up to one thing in the end. Music.
After everything, no one really cares much except for how they sound.



Some types of songs that really get to my head though are:

1.Song that have THE worst lyrics ever.
Example: Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
















"hey hey you you
I don't like you girlfriend
no way no way
I think you need a new one"

(Oh yea, no one will really hate Avril for writing this song about some poor girl, cause that poor girl is... Paris Hilton. Yes, the Paris who got jailed last Sunday. It seems Avril wrote it because she was pissed Paris was getting close to her husband Deryck.)
WTF?! They don't even rhyme... But what makes this song famous is...
The people that work behind her, yes, the producers!!!

As you know (or maybe not), she recorded this whole song drunk, that's why you can hear a girlish laughter (that's the producer's laugh, and it's actually a he...), and some sounds from blowing on the top of a bottle.
How the hell can you make a nice song in this kinda situation anyways?!
Well, thanks to the amazing producer, drummer, guitarist, bassist and keyboardist, she managed to scrap up a good song. Poor drummer, the drum beats change after every verse... He must be working his arse off.


2.Anyways, some songs are created by pure lyrical geniuses.
Example: Jamison Parker.

















"It's a night life that gets them off
So desperately they wait for the excuse of love
We live like vampires
And we, we, we love like killers
We all die like infants
and we trust like mirrors
Slow suicide...like it or not, it's what we do"

Meaning:(for those who think it's something for some science fiction book)

Live like Vampires - Hiding from things we think will destroy us/Lives in the hiding
-
Love Like Killers - We love without thinking of consequnces, without bondaries and will do anything/Love only thinking of ourselves, and will harm others to keep ourselves from being harmed
-
Die Like Infants - We all die, innocently, helpless and vulnerable
-
Trust Like Mirrors - We only have as much faith or trust in others as we do in ourselves/We only believe as much as we want to see

Sadly, every single moment we live, we're killing ourselves without knowing it. Everytime you lie, drink alchohol, lack of sleep, drugs, smokes... Everything's bad.
These kind of songs are really nice actually. Great beat, great lyrics, great vocals, great everything.
Just one flaw: Almost every song in the album seems almost the same. The way they sing, the genre, everything. And it bores you terribly. It seems that good music exists in very limited sounds.



3.Songs that are weird and blur, you can't understand whatever they are singing.
Example: Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz



"[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA.. ]
City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't hold back
So all you fill the streets, it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon, it's ephermal style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no "


WTF?! I couldn't hear nor understand a single word in the first paragraph at all when I first heard the song.
I searched the meaning of this song and guess what? They put everything that people want into the song. Fresh air, nice neighbours, work.. Stuff that people want mostly... Maybe you don't get it... Search the song meanings then.


Nice beat and all... again... the lyrics have goodness and flaws in them.
Interesting eh?
Everything seems to have imperfections. And that's what makes them beautiful.
Well... Everyone has their own opinions, but that's what I think...


I'm just gonna add a rant here cause I just can't resist one.
I hate the fact that when you see some rock band on youtube, they all go labelling them emo or goth or whatever. Western music has tons of flamers. What I really like about Eastern music is, no one really flames them for the specific genre they are, and that really is good. People are entitled to opinions I know, but it is kinda annoying seeing them on the youtube video page. Especially when they come in by the TONNES. It's like they live to flame and everything...


I'm trying to stay awake until dawn so I can see the stars and the sunset from my balconey. Yea, I know I'm a weird soul. A weird soul that'll see some things you'll never see.
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
I've always hated this line. Maybe cause they shouldn't put chocolates and life in the same level. I've always eaten chocolates that were labelled. Whenever I eat my chocolates, I've always read the names and labels and see carefully what flavour they are before popping one into my mouth. So this sentence never seemed to appeal to me.
5:40 AM already and I'm still on my computer wasting my life away. but there's too much of it anyways.
Goodnight now. Opps, correction. Good Morning?

Bleeding Star

Saturday, June 2, 2007

We live lives packed with pop culture, underground lifestyles, and questions of exactly where the border is. We travel down a packed interstate full of windy turns, off-ramps for no reason, and horrific collisions.

No matter where you go there is always going to be someone trying to put out your flame, someone trying to tear you down. But as long as you keep shining, nothing else really matters.

Stand up for what you believe in, despite how much persecution you may have to go through. No matter what "scene" you may belong to, or whatever type of music you enjoy listening to. Whether you spend your days dancing to the pulse of a DJ, or rockin it at a hardcore show, just be true to yourself.

Forget about what other people think. In a world ready to tear apart your every move, it may be hard to keep on trudging through, but really, what else is there we can do. Shine bright for yourself, hold strong for your beliefs, no matter how much you may "bleed" along the way.

-Bleeding Star Clothing












Man... I love BSC.
No just for their amazingly creative clothing and style, but also for their thoughts on what they create. Hey, you may say they just said this all for our cheap thoughts and money, but who cares? I believe them anyways. They have great clothing and style too.

Now for some pics. Audrey Kitching's hair is seriously amazing and Devin's moehawk is... undescribeable.

And I love their Nautical Stars. Do you know that Nautical Stars started with sailors and people in the military? They have the star tattooed on their wrist meaning North, and they're going to find their way home. I love them.




















I love this girl's tattoo and shirt. Just for BSC too.
































This is Devin Wears Prada. And no, this is not a typo. Nothing here is a typo, except for normal grammar, most names are not typos.

his hair is amazing, ain't it? And he has changed it to black white now. You can check his myspace.






















This is Alex. I really like his hair and piercings... O.o



Audrey Kitching. Amazing model with amazing hair. ( Brendon Urie's ex if you didn't know. Brendon's stupid for breaking up with her.)
And there's more models, but I'm so damn lazy.
And there's this comedian guy I just found out about today. He name is... GAY PIMP.
he's so damn funny. Just watch this vid.







I love Eminem's music no matter is he faggoty or not. But for the moment I'm just gonna drown myself in laughter because of this guy.


Fueled by Ramen Recors is amazing. They've signed up Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, the Academy Is..., Cute Is What We Aim For, and more...


This is Papa Roach's Scars in Spanish. Real nice song.

New blog, new entry, new life? O_o

Was dead bored so I made a blog... With a The Used layout!!!
I love The Used.














Say hi to The Used!! =)
Or they shall go to your homes and steal your pets.
Cause they know where you live...
The Used is a rock band from Utah. They have amazingly got 2 platinum albums already even though they're very vulgar so they won't ever be on your local radio.
If they ever are on your radio, every sentence shall be censored until you can't hear a single sentence properly.

You *--* liar!!
You *--* liar!!
Liar liar, Pants on fire
Hanging from a telephone wire

It doesn't just take the censored part man, all you need is the end of the song with Bert (the lead singer) singing the child nursery rhyme with a weird tune to give little kids and big babies nightmares for weeks. Now as you know, Malaysia practically censors EVERYTHING.

*In Yaoi manga, they just rip out pages that contain obscene parts to make you feel like burning them alive cause you wasted your money.
-
*They don't allow any anti-christ bands here. I know they're not excatly healthy, but if you don't like them, don't see them then. Some people still like them for their music.
-
*They closed a paper down for having an offending comic strip. The oldest paper in Sarawak too! Or it could be Sabah... I forgot. They still closed it down when they apologised. It's not like a paper actually checks the stupid comics anyways, they only write the articles. Forgive people la!! Now Sarawak (or Sabah) people have less news to read. And you call us uneducated, stupid government?!
(sorry that I have a hate towards the government, it's not like I really hate them..
I DESPISE them. I'm so full of hate towards them... So sorry anyways.)

Ok, back to The Used.

This is Bert, Kelly Osbourne's ex. Thank God Bert dumped her...=.=

















He is the lead singer of The Used (born February 25, 1982 in Orem, Utah), Real name is Robert Edward McCracken, better known as Bert.
This is Quinn, the guy who eats his boogers and never washes his hands.
















Beautiful picture isn't it?




(And just to get a better picture of his face...)


Quinn Allman, Guitarist of The Used, awesome riffist.
-He worked at McDonalds and at a golf course before.
-He was arrested for a number of times and some times for no good reason at all.
Next is Jepha!












Just makes you wanna say: " Aww... Poor guy..."
Jepha is one of the best pouters in the world!!! Brendon Urie is pretty good too, but Jeph draws more sympathy.
He's the bassist of The Used. (born Jepharee Michael Howard, January 4, 1979)
He is vegan and you shall vote for him as the sexiest vegan alive on PETA's website!!
I shall write random info on him cause he's just so adorable.
-His dog's name is Zelda.
-At the start of the band, he had... DREADLOCKS.
-He was a cook and a baker.
-Jeph was a fill in bassist for 30 seconds to Mars on The Tonight Show.
(30 seconds to Mars sang The Kill if you didn't know.)


Now for Dan.
He is the newest member of The Used. The awesome drummer.















Hard to find somemore pics since he's so new.
He replaced the former drummer, Branden Steineckert. I miss Branden... =(
But I like Dan anyways.


And just cause I like Branden soooooo much, I shall write about him even though he's not in the band anymore.


-
Branden Steineckert. Former drummer of The Used, current drummer of Rancid.

(Rancid is a great punk rock band if you didn't know, they've been around for quite some time now.)
A great song, Thunder by Boys Like Girls. They're not really famous, YET. But they shall soon enough.
And to write about local indie music, cause they need some love like international music too. =)
There's Reza Salleh from KL, and Stereomantic from Singapore.
Reza's Smoke City is a great acoustic song, and Stereomantic's I Can't Marry You is a sweet soft ballad that makes you go "Aww..." and not just Jeph's pic.




Here's Reza Salleh's smoke city. Hope everyone likes him and he gets more fanbase and he comes to Penang so the record stores can sell his albums.
