random thoughts on music

Thursday, March 15, 2007
Thanks to Leo who introduced me to the wonderful (and speedy) downloading world of Azureus, I can now access album upon album of wondrous music from all over the world. eMule is one slow-moving ass and should be banished from the face of the universe. Hmm the same should be said regarding illegal downloads, but...

Listening to one new album a day makes the Ogress one contented monstrosity. And it's very crucial because I cannot find contentment in sleeping hours nor making music with the band these days. My most precious finds of the past 2 weeks are:

The Gossip. Very interesting bandmembers. Very yummy drummer. Listen Up! is fantabulous. How do they make simple music arrangement sound soooo good? Hmm I like my fair share of cowbells from time to time.

Lily Allen has the most delectably enchanting British accent. And boppy tunes I can't categorise. I'd say it's airy, cool ska-pop with garage beats. In layman terms, her music makes me happy. And want to go live in England and cycle around town in a yellow sundress and red flip-flops. My favourite song is Littlest Things. Check out the piano riff from the 70's French softporn movie Emmanuelle (thanks for the background info, oh Si king of google and wikipedia). Faster go see the beautiful Sylvia Kristel on youtube!

Now that the The Wreckers is born, we can see and hear more of the gorgeous Michelle Branch. Good ole' country pop that makes long drives and lousy traffic conditions bearable. Just what KL-ites need. No favourite song because the music's almost the same.
