+ ying n yang +
Today I've seen the absolute polar opposites of the s'pore music scene, heck, so did everyone else watching S'pore Idol... but they only know half the story. Oh well, lets go see the bad news first... everyone seems to wanna give William Hung a run for his money. Recipe to be a sell out for instant fame? Be really good, or really really bad.... too many jokers think the latter is easier.... I mean who can forget the likes of the "lemon tree guy" and the "mime guy"? (hell, my cheese on toast is louder than him)... they'll be talking about these village idiots for generations... it is said William Hung sold 30000 copies of his album in S"pore alone... i find tt, well, plain unnerving. 30000 people spent $20(+-) to tell William Hung he's on the right track... its about as "inspirational" as Freddy vs. Jason. Now i hear he's making a movie. I swear... the best way to make that a blockbuster comedy is to give it a tear-jerking, sensitive, emo script. Oh well, with Hung around, no one's gonna think the chinese are gonna take over america and steal all the jobs anymore... *shrug* Now for the good news....uh... searching...hang on....still searching... ok!! Here's some!! After a lengthy investigation, i bought myself a copy of "the obsevatory"'s debut album (time of rebirth). Yes, i finally put in my part to support our local bands. I highly recommend it... its like jazz that went psychadelic... kinda like weed music.. but i like it... refreshing stuff in weird beats... the singing voices really suit the subtly pessistic tone of the songs... good stuff. Kudos goes to the cd cover, yeah, you heard me right, its a highly original concept. Its not a plastic cover, its like a diary with a cd in it. Really sticks out, got me puzzled at first... truly creative, good personal touch too. As for those who bought William Hung's... i say 20 bucks could have been given to those more needy, less fortunate than ourselves, not the "pitiful" buck-toothed rich bastard. Now you'll listen to it once, laugh yourself to tears, then throw it in the fish tank where it'll come to more use onarmentally (providing the prolonged exposure of his face to the fish won't make them die of cancer). cheers all! *raises wine glass*
