Song of the Week - I Love You & Buddha Too

Mason Jennings - I Love You & Buddha Too

OH jesus I love you
and I love buddha too
rama krishna Guru dev
Daodejing and Muhammad

Why do some people say
that there is just one way
to love you god and come to you
we are all apart of you

You are a nameable
you are a knowable
all we have is Metaphor
that's what time and space are for

it's the universal thought (i think thats right)
you are and you are not
You are many you are one
Ever ending just begun

All right x 3
I love you and buddha too

I love you jesus (over and over)

I love you and buddha too

And buddha too

AWWW YEA!

Interesting song.. haha..
May be slightly offensive to some, but what the heck!

Song of the Week - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Radiohead - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me

Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

Yeah I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
And I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape


I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are about but somehow this song is the favourite off their latest album.

Song of the Week - Time Is Running Out

An oldie but a goodie, these guys are really great live!

Muse - Time Is Running Out

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
you've created

You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me
Yeah You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
ooooohh

yeah You will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

ps. Anyone heard Coldplay's new song Cemetries of London? Sounds great, think it'll be their next Fix You or Scientist heh!

Guitar Techniques Magazine

I love this magazine. Yes it's really expensive, around 18.90, depending on where you buy it from in Singapore.
But I reckon it is totally worth it. All I have to do is to learn 2 lessons from every magazine I buy and I get back my money's worth. Better than paying for guitar lessons, and you can learn at your own pace!

Anyway this month's issue has a primer to modern acoustic percussive techniques in DADGAD. Rocks!

Song of the Week - Bubbly

A new singer-songwriter in the stylings of Jason Mraz / Jack Johnson. Love her voice.. I'm a pop-listening indie wannabe.. got the album! SGD$11.90 at all reputable music stores... whole album is very listenable if you like this style.

Colbie Caillat - Bubbly

Will you count me in

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin like a child now
Cause everytime I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I'll always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I'll always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way
I just hmm

And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I'll always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holding me tight

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever you go
Always know
Cause you make me smile even just for a while

大屁股 - Timothy S10J

Gotta write about something else than Tommy before this becomes a Tommy shrine.

So Pier went on from NTU to join DSTA, a local statutory board dealing with the Singapore military. Got Work == $$ , and soon a desire for a better guitar rose from within. One that sounds "profesional", like those you hear on cds. But those Martins and Taylors, they were really too expensive for Pier. Then I saw this guitar hanging in Sinamex, the local Taylor distributor. I played it - wow, it was comparable to some of the Taylors in terms of sound.

After that I tried several brands of guitars, the lower end Martins, the Blueridges, Larrivees, higher-end Seagulls.. but my mind kept returning to that guitar. It had a big, bold sound. Somewhat towards the bassier side.

Later on I called it 大屁股， because being a medium jumbo guitar, it has an enormous butt.

So one fine day after I got my yearly bonus I went down to get it. And I know that this is a guitar I'll never sell.

But it definitely won't be my last. :p
