October 26, 2007

I’ve been in some sort of funk as of late.
Anyway, been listening to mainly Spoon and Kings of Convenience the past couple of days. This video ought to keep you kids busy for now.
I’d Rather Dance With You by Kings of Convenience

The King of Kong October 20, 2007

I found myself heavily engaged with the documentary ‘The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters’ when I watched it yesterday. It tells the story of two rivals, Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe in their quest to top one another in the process of obtaining the world record for the highest ever recorded score in [...]

That AIDS urban legend October 17, 2007

I remember how I was on an 80s movies rampage a few weeks back, and during that span, one of the films that I watched was the classic comedy ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’.
I likened the movie as a true generation bookmark, with every 80’s fad (hair, music, the mall) practically stamped over it. This [...]

It’s all make-believe.

Fargo October 11, 2007

Truthfully, I was expecting a little more out of Fargo. Reviews I’ve read made me anticipate a more compelling movie, but instead, I came out feeling shortchanged.
Don’t get me wrong, Fargo is a good movie. I love the characters that play out the story as much as I love the story that the Coen brothers [...]

Apparently, the reason why British food isn’t as revered as other states dates back to pre-historic times. Being Anglo-Saxons, they were warriors who hunted for their own food. To [...]

£0.00 October 8, 2007

I remember I said that I’d probably shell out a couple of bucks to download Radiohead’s latest album.
So, should I feel guilty for paying nothing?

Le Beatles October 7, 2007

I went to the Powerbooks warehouse sale hoping to grab The Beatles: The Biography by Bob Spitz which has been on my wish list for quite some time now. Unfortunately, as with every visit to the warehouse, I didn’t know where or how to look for it.
I did eventually settle on Remembering John Lennon: [...]

sleeping with one eye open October 5, 2007

While channel surfing myself to sleep last Wednesday, I chanced upon a live performance by Taken by Cars at RJ TV. Sleepy as I was at that time, I just couldn’t let that opportunity to see the band perform pass.
A friend introduced me to Taken by Cars about a few months ago, and I surmise [...]
