To those who are like me, stuck in the confinement of their modern home on a Saturday night, the city is a terrifying creature. I mean, how many times have you had your heart stolen and subsequently brokened as the traffic bolts across your eyes with unbelievable normalcy? And have you not lost your innocence [...]

Phoenix : I’m having trouble spelling the song
Picture courtesy of http://20watts.files.wordpress.com
Auteurs of irresponsible french cool, Phoenix has formed a lazy habit of being stuck in their own sound; they’re the kid with the unwavering need to wear a blazer with anything, and their pants an inch above what was fashionably permited. Though it is rarely rewarding, my passion for their atavistic “laidbackness” has been [...]

Plebeian Polaroid : Being alone in Singapore
It’s difficult to be alone in Singapore, there is a incredible number of people almost EVERYWHERE, and very few places to explore. It’s usually just the heartlands mall, the mega mall with 8 cinema theatres and the “atas” mall packed with their Gucci tottling Aunties. And it’s not too desirable to spend your downtime alone [...]

When you were young…
This wasn’t some kind of jaunting discovery after a trip to the zoo, but realizing that I’ll be expelled from the young folks country club soon has been a slow, layered revelation of sorts.
Which is why I am wasting no time dishing out metaphors, worshipping silly analogies and making this entry frustatingly frivolous by sinking it with tedious words. [...]

Playing Catch
I’ve stitched together all the catchy bits of favourite oldies after rummaging through my old IPOD playlist. Have no fun at guessing where they come from! (but really, watching TV still beats this!)
Scroll below to see which oldie you’ve got stuck in your head!
1) Shout Out Louds : Tonight i have to leave [...]

This is for thinking a little too much… A summary of most of the interesting theories present online about LOST’s highly unsettling 2 part finale.
Oh damn, now you’re gonna leave me hanging there for another 9 months. GREAT.
The episode was indeed kinda touching.. wasn’t it?
Yes Jacob touched everyone except Ilana and himself, because that would have been too creepy.
(Kate: Nose, Sawyer: Finger, Sayid: Shoulder, Locke: Shoulder, Jin and Sun: Shoulder, Jack: finger, Hurley: Man-boob. Also creepy)
Is Jacob the good guy?
Probably. The [...]

Anti-Current: Keniichi Matsuyama says “FUCK” to y’all
He’ll play guitar then rape y’all then rape all your Mommies and Daddies. And he can pronounce “fuck” so well.
Wiki-fact: Keniichi Matsuyama does the voice of (all singing and speaking) both Johannes Krauser II and Negishi. And he does not have a death penis nor any castration fantasies.

St- Vincent : These Days
I haven’t been following St Vincent’s music very closely, but her cover of NICO’s “These Days” is pretty good, and it is always worth the world to be able to indulge yourself in a couple of minutes of pure, lithe guitar strumming amidst all that techno chaos. You know, you don’t have to be like [...]

This is How You Suffer the Synthesizer

Passion Pit must have been the only Jewish kids doing the robot at their Bar Mitzvah. (my bad if they are Greek). Since they debuted with the EP, Chunk of Change, they’ve become the best kept secrets of every music crazed person under the age of 30. However, with the new album Manners, you bet people [...]
