Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Hmm... I was looking at the category dropdown menu for quite some time. I wasn't too sure to put this post under which category (film or music). Was to talk mainly about my experience downloading one of their concert recently via BitComet, but later thought that it would be better to have a wider topic to introduce more about this band. Therefore, I chose music instead of film, where I think more than half of my blog's post goes to.

Stadium_arcadiumThe Red Hot Chili Peppers are a California-based rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Even though they have experienced numerous line-up changes and personal problems, the band has successfully created a sound that combines elements of funk, punk, rap, psychedelic rock and lately pop rock. Over the past 23 years, they have produced nine studio albums which have sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide. The current band members are (from left to right): Michael Balzary (Flea) as bassist and backing vocalist, Anthony Kiedis as lead vocalist, John Frusciante as guitarist and backing vocalist, Chad Smith as drummer. From: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gezz... After finished typing the introduction, now I feel kinda lazy to begin my so-called wonderful experience pulak. I started my random search for Red Hot Chili Peppers live concert last Tuesday midnight when I returned home after my Penang one day trip. (Oh yea, I almost forget about this important announcement. Dear fellow friends, I've bought my 200G external harddisk last week! Which means, I can get back into the hyper mood downloading great stuffs again. Ahem, you certainly understand what I meant by great stuffs right? Bwahahaha.) Then I found this video entitled "LIVE at BBC Secret Concert Red Hot Chili Peppers 28.05.06". It sounded very interesting to me as it was a very recent concert I supposed. So, without hesitating much time, I clicked and started downloading it.

After four days...

Bloody hell tmnut tortures my body and soul, both physically and psychologically, by keeping me waited for so long. But when I was chatting online with my dear yesterday night at around 4:30 AM, suddenly a small notification window poped up and I was like, weeeee, surprisingly, my download has finally been completed without me actually realising it. Had a quick glance through the two VOB files immediately, both video and audio qualities were far above average, very satisfying indeed. And as usual, I have to rename every single file of mine before moving it into my favourite collections folder.

Looking under Google search, I found this review and was about to rename my file "Red Hot Chili Peppers Live At Canvas (14th April 2006)" according to this result. But why is it 14th of April? Not 28th of May? And when I browsed through the photos in their website, the stage setups and most of the costumes were almost the same, but why is Flea topless when in the concert video I watched he was wearing a long sleeve tee? Then later after searching for a few hours again, I only discovered that Red Hot Chili Peppers had actually played in the same venue in two continuous days (without changing clothes). So, in conclusion, mine is the show on the 15th of April. Am I right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bla ble bli blo blu... What a post. I don't even know what I'm writing. I'm rushing out now. To have dinner with my family. Celebrating father's day. Happy daddy's day! I love you papa. ^_^

Live Gig III...

Live_gig_iii

I am feeling superb right now! It was a great and powerful night for me yesterday. Got a total refreshment after attended Live Gig III at Halo Cafe South City Plaza. I am back alive and kicking from the hectic college life which had actually made me suffered so much. Weeeee... That's the way! ^_^

DropoutDropout - They were as cool as ever. This was my first time watching them after their revolution. Now with much more darker and heavier style. Great effort I could see from them to show the best. To me their most noticeable act was I think a huge loyal fan base supporting them all the way. Wave goodbye to Mumster, warm welcome to Dropout!

SoundwallSoundwall - A pop rock band with nice and easy listening melody. Have watched their show quite a lot of times. Some of their new songs performed were a little too sentimental for me. But I admire their creativity to compose songs with different feel. I salute them for their hard work to organise such gig once in every month to gather underground bands.

Deng_dengDeng Deng - Heavy metal, tri-piece, super energetic and aggressive vocal. What else I should describe about them? National champion of Soundscape Chinese Independent Bands Competition. Many agreed they truely deserved the prize that night at Channel Dance Club. I was there to witness the event and had no doubt about it too. Wait wait? Etc etc?

Wu_feng_lingWu Feng Ling - Got to know them through Live Gig I at New Com Pub. Wasn't really impressed by their performance that time. But this time I was just like kept staring at their awesome show. Guitarist controlled his effects well. Bassist was cute with his unique Thailand song too. Overall co-ordination among band members made it a good show.

Lang_1Lang - I feel very sad again when I'm writing this. I was so shocked, I mean, we all were so shocked to receive the bad news from them. It was their last performance yesterday night as a team. The second guitarist and bassist were playing with them for the final time. Our local indipendent band scene lost a very talented young band. Let us together pray they will be back in the future.

Homegrown finale...

After a season of showcasing new and happening local bands, it's time for the Homegrown Finale Concert. Bands like One Buck Short, Pop Shuvit, Deja Voodoo Spell, Love Me Butch, Republic Of Brickfields will be at the Sunway Lagoon Amphitheatre to heat up your Saturday night. Showtime is 6:00 PM. The first 200 Celcom customers at the concert will bag a free mini portable radio each. VIP tickets are also available to all Celcom customers and Monash University students (winner of Homegrown Campus Votes). If you do come to the concert, you also stand a chance to win a Sony PS2. Also, get the Pop Shuvit guys to smash their guitars by sending HGSMASH (to smash it) or HGSAVE (to save it) and send to 33833. The highest voter who manages to save the guitar will win it. Find out more at Homegrown.

Geeeee... Saw this advertisement through the TV screen few days back when I was watching Homegrown featuring OAG. I always give reason for not having transport to attend gig or performance but now it's just happening so close to me. Just then now I am simply too lazy to go and get the ticket from don't-know-where-it-is and moreover I will be sitting for my semester exam very soon. And so the conclusion is again, have fun guys and gals!

HONG KONG TOP ACT BEYOND BIDS SINGAPORE FAREWELL

Veteran Hong Kong rock outfit BEYOND will bid Singapore fans farewell at their final concert tour on 15 October!

Having successfully dominated a respectable position in the Chinese/ Cantopop rock music industry for the past 22 years, BEYOND remains unrivalled with their dedication and undying passion for pure, original rock music. BEYOND's accomplishments in the music scene has been of which many aspiring rock musicians look out to and inspired by. Their talented music compositions, often reflecting the reality and aghast of society and motivates life through its ups-and-downs, have won them undying support from hard-core fans within Asian and even beyond the region over the years. 

The course of success wasn't smooth sailing. The band has faced numerous trials, including having to self-fund and personally sell their first underground album, and even having to cope with the sudden loss of their leader and lead vocalist/ composer Wong Ka Kui in 1993.

Despite the obstacles, the remaining members of BEYOND continue to strive in their music career and even spans out to become successful individual musicians. After more than two decades in showbiz, BEYOND decides their split and places a wonderful ending note to their remarkable music era with the farewell launch of BEYOND "THE STORY LIVE 2005" concert tour, much to the despair of their huge following die-hard fans.

Having staged their farewell gigs in Hong Kong, United States and various states in China, BEYOND finally brings their long-awaited concert to Singapore! Local fans have their final chance to relive the top quality showcase by this renowned rock outfit and reminisce the journey from BEYOND's golden era with all-time powerful hits like "长城", "情人", "光辉岁月", "阿拉伯跳舞女郎", "海阔天空", "遥远的Paradise" and "Amani". It will definitely be an electrifying and memorable night not to be missed!

I went to the Immigration Department this morning to create an international passport for myself. Have never been to overseas before since young. And now I am going to Singapore this coming October to watch Beyond! I never like to travel around last time especially during secondary school life. Was paying too much attention in my extra curricular activities until I nearly forget about the importance of my dearest family and friends. I am now learning hard to appreciate every things and relationships around me. Cheerio~

Life's a struggle...

Life's A Struggle by Shawn (M80)

Opening my eyes, laying my first steps to this world as I arrived
Blessed with a life from my mom, left with a ruin in a numb
Being terrified in this cast, as everyone is wearing a mask
Recalling the pass, igniting the thoughts "is this the way life should last"

Oh cigar, tarnished my lungs with catostrophous scars
The world being horrified as my lungs scar-ified
Here I carry the destined crucified cross
My thirst for power, paper and respect
This might be human nature
Buddha's saying confusions arrised sourcing interlectual personal life
However, I don't mind
I just hope perhaps I can wind the clock, to the point where the life I find

Felt so apologetic to good old mom, I know I often make you grump
You unleasehed your thoughts of regreting did not get me dumped

The moment after school as I came back, I lay down my heavy back pack
Nobody is to be seen, only smelling the ever wonderful scent
I know extra work was on the menu
Exploring the fridge, eating food somehow like in the ditch
Dear dad came home drunk, I heard sour songs being sung
No way I gonna focus on my exam when dusk finally comes

I never like my teachers as they never like me
I detest school rules as they detest me
I hate the discipline teacher as he disciplines me
That's true, friends around said I'm too cool
Even the cops happy to arrest me too
I dont give a fuck about what is being said
What has been said does not justify me
And no one has the right to judge me

Materialistic bitches ended up a whore
Non-condom users putting a blame on children to the core
Money is a shit where you're born in it
Once you did you gonna die in it
Loosing your grip as life is powered up in deep shit

Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze
Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze

Judgement day, I felt I couldn't breath and lost my way
Facing a long stay in prison made me remorse what I've done
After-life from prison guess many changes have to hunt
In a convict's eye never have peace as life's always blunt

An inch of carbon in my hand, laying a kaleidoscope from the metal window
You cant find any wonderful word in my diary of sorrows
Melancholious times ahead as only freedom will free my soul

Keeping an armour beside pillow prepared for sudden harm
Some doubt their wives assuming external affair looming large
Some keep letters from families neatly in nums
Some lifeless for 24 hours on bed as they were gummed
Some losing sanity because of mental crump

A long wait of 3 months finally passed by
Another probation of 3 years will accompany my life
Nevertheless breathing new air into my current life
I never know what's the next picture in my life
Fatal crimes are not unusual in the headlines
Remembering the disgusting scene of a woman and a man
It crushed all the positive thoughts about her I had
I hear voices, voices of struggles far deep inside my heart

Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze
Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze

Where ever I may roam
Whomever I meet, all I sense is the unsincere heart
I thought it's so funny as in everyone's eyes there's only money
Faking as a kind-hearted human who just wants to benefit himself
Hiding behind the sweet face is the cruel brutal smile
Betraying friends, gaining everything
Saying she loves you may be directing at your wealth
Have you ever thought, those of best pals were actually harming you somehow
Cause when you needed them most, all gone but raising your eyebrow

All mighty God
Please don't blame me for what I thought
Cause no one believes me as I believe them not
I am undescribable cause I am just the I who has being brought
Life's a roller coaster, flying high, plunging low, both cold and hot
Can't see how I'm gonna sail through this road of rot
Cause in my heart, there'll never be a peaceful spot

Unable to continue my sleep
Listening to my heart, telling me how mom cried so deep
Dad is drowsing off my hope, turning off the heat
Holding up the phone, listening to every word from his heart beat
Knowing he just lost what he always did

Flashing through my mind is grandma's advice
No reason to cry about and I have to be wise
Once and for all metamorphoses to end all my negative sights

Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze
Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze

Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze
Life's a struggle but life goes on
Tasting sweetness and sourness, troubles will still come on
How many problems I have to face, every night I cant sleep but in a daze

M&M's Battle Of The Bands...

Well. This is my third topic of M&M's Battle Of The Bands. I first posted the announcement, then later I posted my review after the grand event, and now I am going to post up the winners. It's not considered as a competition if there is no result, right?

Overall I am very satisfied with the judges choice. These winners really deserve the prize. A very well done and congratulations to them. Hope to see more of their performances in the future.

P/S: Someone invited me to join Battle Of The Bands 2006. No way, I said. I don't think I am qualified at all. I am really too far left behind them. Gosh.

Life's a struggle...

Life's A Struggle by 宋岳庭

正当我睁开双眼 踏入这个世界

妈妈给我生命 现在让我自生自灭

这让我恐惧 在我的眼里每个人都戴着面具

回想过去 难道生命就是这样延续

我抽烟抽得我的肺都黑了

就像整个社会被人心笼罩着 它也是黑的

我背着宿命的十字架

也渴望power, paper and respect

我想这大概就是human nature

佛家说 烦恼即是菩提 我暂且不提

我倒是希望能够回到母体

老妈对不起 我时常把你气得跺脚

你说你后悔当初没有把我堕掉

每当我放学回家 放下那沉重的背包

家里空无一人 只残留着你香水的味道

那时我知道 你那天晚上又要加班

我打开冰箱 拿出微波炉吃冰的晚餐

老爸在凌晨两点种醉醺醺地回家

我从睡梦中醒来 只听到你们在吵架

我没有办法专心面对第二天的考试

老师他不喜欢我 我也不喜欢老师

我讨厌穿制服 我讨厌学校的制度

我讨厌训导主任的嘴脸 讨厌被束缚

That’s true

很多人不屑我的态度 他们说我太cool

警察不爽我都曾将我逮捕

I don’t give a fuck about 人家说什么

他们想说什么就说什么 但是他们算什么

没有谁有权利拿他的标准衡量我

主宰是我自己 随便人家如何想 我还是我

爱钱的女人只给凯子摸

不懂得用保险套的人别嫌孩子多

金钱力量虽大 却生不带来死不带走

紧握着双拳的人们何时能松开手

**Life’s a struggle 日子还要过

品尝喜怒哀乐之后 又是数不尽的troubles

Everyday 有多少问题要去面对

有多少夜 痛苦烦恼着你无法入睡

**Life’s a struggle 日子还要过

品尝喜怒哀乐之后 又是数不尽的troubles

Everyday 有多少问题要去面对

有多少夜 痛苦烦恼着你无法入睡

法庭严肃的空气逼得我快不能呼吸

当时面临着终生监禁的我开始反省

铁栏杆之后又是个截然不同的景象

刑犯们眼神中看不到一点和平的气象

仅有一寸短的铅笔 写的是监狱风云

日记上描绘的不是美好的户外风景

自由在他们眼里才是憧憬

放一把自制武器在枕头旁 以防随时有人偷袭

有些人怀疑老婆在外偷情

有些人把家人寄来的信件一张一张好好收集

有些人二十四小时几乎在床上休息

有些人精神失常 因为受不了打击

三个月如火如荼的漫长等待已过去

出狱后的我得面对三年的缓刑期

这也好 一生中第一次感觉到幸福

但是生命的考验何止如此我不清楚

我不知道 接下来还有什么会发生

翻开报纸的新闻又是看到放火杀人

还记得某年无意间发现的照片

上面有阿姨对男人施行口交的恶心画面

这简直摧毁了她在我心目中的形象

我无法忘怀照片中那笑容多么淫荡

我抵抗 胸口存在着不安及惶恐

我不断听到痛苦的声音在内心怒吼

**Life’s a struggle 日子还要过

品尝喜怒哀乐之后 又是数不尽的troubles

Everyday 有多少问题要去面对

有多少夜 痛苦烦恼着你无法入睡

**Life’s a struggle 日子还要过

品尝喜怒哀乐之后 又是数不尽的troubles

Everyday 有多少问题要去面对

有多少夜 痛苦烦恼着你无法入睡

不论我走到天南 不论我走到地北

不论我走到哪都见识到人心的虚伪

It’s kinda funny 在人的眼里只有money

外表好像要帮你 却只是想帮他自己

笑容可掬的脸后面 谁知道是个狼心狗肺

连朋友都能背叛 因为只有名利合他口味

她说她爱你的时候讲的是问心无愧

搞不好她爱的是你身后的荣华富贵

你可曾困惑 在你身旁谁是敌是友

对你落井下石的可能就是你的挚友

你可曾经历 当你最需要帮助的时候

平常跟你称兄道弟的人都突然失踪

亲爱的神 伟大的神

你可以怪我想法太过无知 但我只是人

我不信人 因为人也不信我

不要问我为什么 我最多只能告诉你这就是我

生命像海浪一样有时高有时低

你是否告诉自己坚强渡过各种时期

我从命运的天台放眼却看不到星空
