2007 Dodge Charger

Sat, 6 Oct 2007 12:02:15 +0000

I know this is off-topic, but I just wanted to share a web album I recently created. It has pictures of the 2007 Dodge Charger. These cars are one of a kind and to me looks absolutely great. I'd like to own one of these someday, but that seems like a long way to go.

Check out the pictures at the link below :

The Shamen

I bought this tape at a budget bin at a store in KK, Sabah, I think. It turned out to be a pretty cool album!

Electronica, a lot of synth and thumping bass. Can't say much about the singers. Brits just can't rap or sing if they can't loose their accent. Look at EMF and their song "Unbelievable"

My favourite track is "Move Any Mountain" from the album 'En-Tact'

The song on the album reminds me of :-
a) Being a hardass
b) Hacking computers and BBS systems
c) Playing loads of games
d) Smoking pot (er!)
e) My friend - Nik Nazry (crazy dude!)
f) The PC demoscene

Listen to their tracks below:
- Move Any Mountain
- Phorever People
- Boss Drum
- Space Time

Four Tops - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine

Sat, 5 May 2007 22:02:21 +0000

Oh yeah I love this song. I even bought the cassette. This group is one of the best Motown Records bands in the 60's and 70's. Popular for songs like "Loco in Alcapulco" , this great band of Black singers had great voices.

This is one groups that people will always remember. The song "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine" was and still is my favourite. I first heard it in a club in Damansara Jaya, back in the 90's. Picadilly's -- that was the time for T-Dances.

I found a link to that song on YouTube. Check out the singers and also the wonderful lyrics. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
It’s hard to see you walk away
It hurts to see you go
But if I asked you to stay
Would it matter anyway

I’m not surprised you’re leaving
I’ve known it all along
But my life will still go on
Yes, my life will still go on

I’ll find a way to make it
Through the long and lonely night
Find a way to live without you
Without you in my life

‘cause baby, baby
The sun ain’t gonna shine if you’re not with me
I’ll live without the love you have to give me
I’ll make it through the night
I’m gonna be alright

But baby, baby
The stars ain’t gonna dance across the heavens
The moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I’ll make it through
But it won’t be the same without you, baby
Without you, baby

Maybe I’ll be better
Better on my own
I can stay out all night long
I’ll have a good time when you’re gone

Maybe it won’t be so bad
To be here all alone
I’ll have all the time to do
All the things I wanna do

So go ahead and walk away
If that’s what you wanna do
‘cause I’ve got my life to live
And I can live it without you

‘cause baby, baby
The sun ain’t gonna shine if you’re not with me
I’ll live without the love you have to give me
I’ll make it through the night
I’m gonna be alright

But baby, baby
The stars ain’t gonna dance across the heavens
The moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I’ll make it through
But it won’t be the same without you, baby
Without you, baby

I’ll find a way to make it
Through the long and lonely night
Find a way to live without you in my life
Without you in my life

‘cause baby, baby
The sun ain’t gonna shine if you’re not with me
I’ll live without the love you have to give me
I’ll make it through the night
I’m gonna be alright

But baby, baby
The stars ain’t gonna dance across the heavens
The moon is gonna hide away forever
I know I’ll make it through
But it won’t be the same without you

The sun ain’t gonna shine if you’re not with me
I’ll live without the love you have to give me
I’ll make it through the night
I’m gonna be alright...

Lonely Heart

Sat, 5 May 2007 20:45:46 +0000

This is a great track from way back in 1983, when I was with my family at Whitstable, Canterbury in the UK.
The track is a one off single from the band Yes. From their album 90125. Great guitars and thumping drums.

Listen to it!: Lonely heart

Here's the original music video at YouTube:

There is also a remix version done by Max Graham.
Check out the great video:

Lyrics:
Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you - and that's the only way

Shake - shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say - you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before

Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You - lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart

After my own decision
They confused me so
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all - no no
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Much better than - a
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(repeat)

Owner of a lonely heart

Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
It will excite it will delight
It will give a better start

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

Another sad story needless to say. This song reminds me of the times I had in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I studied at a private college for about two years before I moved to peninsular Malaysia to do my degree. Great times, great friends and sweet memories.

Have a listen to the song here:
The Boy Is Mine

And don't forget to catch the video here:

Cheers!

It's a grunge thing

Thats a line from the movie "Alcatraz". It was around '95-96 at this time. Just quit college and working at a computer shop, doing part time studies at APIIT.

I was a pretty bad boy at the time.

Anyways the song "Daughter" reminds of the great times I had with Mat Kree, Mat Yus, Mat Beng, Panjang (its a long list) and all the other guys. The nightly bong sessions, bike rides and basically goofing off... :)

Here's the link to that song:
Daughter

oh yeah .. not to forget -- NoCarrier BBS

Cheers!

Soul'ed again...

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 21:39:07 +0000

This group reminds me of the birth of hiphop black soul music back in the 90's. They were tops in the clubs, and I can recall listening to their tracks at almost every popular club at the time namely Picadilly, DV8, Renaissance, Raw and a few other out of state clubs.

Funky beats, great lyrics.

Check out the "spinning hair maniac" in their top music video "Back to life". Cheers!

I was in form four at SMDJ (now named SMK Damansara Jaya) at this time. Great memories ... playing truant, computer games, comics, tea-dances at picadilly ... man, I miss those times.

Color me badd (CMB) was the first really good soundtrack from "New Jack City" that I really liked. Nothing to say much about the movie, though. Wesley snipes played a really convincing drug dealer, hehe.

Check out the music video (notice the Janet Jackson cap!)

Color Me Badd I Wanna Sex You Up

Whitney

My first female vocalist album. Cassette tape bought at Jaya Jusco, Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Must have been around 1985 or 1986, cant really remember. I loved her songs and I think the track "I wanna dance" is still good even today. And I love the t-shirt you're wearing Whitney, cheers!
