if seeing me blabbering about this event for the past week isn't enough, here is a blog post just to finally put an end to all my non-stop fanboyism for these 2 epic bands haha. (okay, maybe I'm more bias towards one of them but I guess that is too obvious) Anyhow, I probably won't go too much into details about either Mew or Explosions In The Sky (apart from they are epic!) but I'll probably talk about the event itself instead. So yeah... this marks the second time I've been to a concert in my life so far (the first being AFA Malaysia last year) and probably the first concert which is more towards the more "normal" crowds. (if there is such a thing, hahaha...) Why normal? I never really counted AFA Malaysia as being a proper concert since its more or less an anime convention with the concert as their side attraction. (also the crowds are just... different? perhaps?) This is more of a proper gig with nothing but the bands playing right in front of everyone.

Anyhow, the day pretty much started when I left work early to get back home (to clean myself, change clothes and get ready) and went off to KL Live (the venue of this gig) and apart from a small traffic jam at Sunway (well, obviously everyone was coming back from work at the time) I managed to reach KL and the venue on time even though I should've probably left even earlier than I planned! The door was open at 7pm and I think there were already quite a long line when I arrived however I managed to cut the queue a bit after I somehow... made a new friend while I was parking my car lol!!! Somehow after parking my car, another car came and parked beside me and when I got out of my car, the guy beside me asked if I was gonna be watching Mew, and I was... "hell yeah!" and somehow from there I decided to hang out with him for the rest of the concert along with his girlfriend and her friend as well. Also met 2 Canadian chicks while I was there too, but sadly I never really got the chance to talk to them or even get their photos. (one of them was like Asian-Canadian and was named Megan and another one being white but I never talked to her or even knew her name lol) They were more looking forward to EITS, but yeah... was totally random sh*t lol. Anyhow, probably gonna skimp on the details (already said too much, haha) and express how the concert was from my point of view.

It was hard to believe it at first, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that Mew were the first to perform instead of EITS. Despite that I was still really looking forward to their performance, and this being their first time performing in KL I guess they had even more pressure to impress us all. But yeah, I knew that watching them perform live was really gonna be something special. While I did managed to enter the stage around 7:30pm or so, but it took them almost an hour before their performance actually started. (by then the room itself was just packed with people, glad I managed to be one the early ones lol) Surprisingly enough, Mew started out their performance with one of their newer songs, Making Friends, which kinda surprised me as I thought they would be starting out with either Circuitry Of The Wolf or New Terrain but they did eventually play those songs later on in the show. And yeah... their performance was just mind blowing. They mostly played songs from either Frengers or And The Glass Handed Kites and also a few songs from No More Stories but they were definitely focusing more on their last 2 albums instead of their latest one. Also they did play one of their newer songs which might appear in their new album which was pretty cool stuff. All in all, their performance exceeded my expectations and to my surprise it seems there are a lot more Mew fans in Malaysia than I thought! Oh, and the fact that everyone was singing to Comforting Sounds at the end was almost just too good to believe... I still get goosebumps thinking about that moment even as I type this!

After Mew's performance ends it took the organizers and crews another hour to setup the stage for EITS (who are apparently the main performer I guess?) and well, wow... their set is just mind bogglingly good. Sadly I don't really know their songs all that well and I barely even scrobble them as much on last.fm compared to Mew, but I do know one of their hit songs... which the managed to play during their performance. I think I was overjoyed with emotions when I heard the starting of Your Hand In Mine playing, and likewise the crowd just seem as enthusiastic as me regarding this song. Somehow their songs just felt more relaxed and at times... really energetic too. But still... you don't really expect anything less from probably one of the best post-rock bands in the world. Just kinda wish I could listen to them a lot more... if only my iPod and HDD didn't die on me. =/

So after EITS performance ended, it was time for everyone to go back home... well, most of us anyway. I ended up following my "frengers" to grab a bit somewhere and then head back home myself. All in all, despite the ticket itself being a bit overpriced (at RM180 its not cheap for a small gig like this honestly) but I think its worth going just to see 2 of my favorite bands to perform and supporting them in any way possible. Even though their sets do feel a bit short (both bands played roughly 2 hours each) and I didn't get to buy anything much there either (lets just say things were either too expensive or too uninteresting to bother paying up for) nor get to meet up with the bands up close (Mew already left the building when EITS was playing sadly) and get their autographs but I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for them to hopefully come back to KL and perform their own shows instead. Yeah... definitely looking forward to that!

Yeah... and this is just a small teaser for what is to come. There is also the Urbanscapes main event (which sadly I won't be going because of work, that and I don't have the money to pay for more tickets and I'm not really too keen on the line-up even though I do like some of the bands that is playing that day) which is happening later this month. You can find out more info regarding it here. There will also be another Satellite Show in December which Metric will be performing, but I don't listen to them all that much either! So many concerts, so little time and money. ;_;

Oh, and before I close this post I'll just leave a link below this paragraph. Its just some pics I took during the gig that night. Its nothing much, but the memories that I had that day will never be forgotten. Oh and if you want more pictures or even videos of the concert, I'm pretty sure you can find it on Instagram or Youtube haha. I saw a lot of people recording the event even though the organizers clearly state that you can't record the performance whatsoever. Typical Malaysians... =P

Facebook photos

Sorry for the lack of updates here, I guess I've been kinda busy this month as I finally started working after over 8 months since I quit my last job! As some might have notice me on Facebook and Twitter, I've been doing a lot better during this month compared to the previous few months before, I could probably say this has been by far the best month for me for 2013 so far! Okay, well not exactly that for sure but its been one of the better months I had this year. Anyhow, I probably won't be rambling much here either since I don't really know what to talk about (well not really know, but its like I totally forgot what to write by the time I was free to write this) but I'll try to write something related to the blog title...

But before I go onto that topic I guess I should probably tell how my October was so far. After months of looking for work at many places, during that first week of October I got a message on Facebook saying that this one company was looking for workers at their workshop, and since I was looking for a job in the automotive industry I didn't even have any second thoughts and tried to apply and see what happens. Funny thing is, I actually knew the workshop and even the owner! (it was a few shops away from my previous workshop that I trained in 2011) But yeah, after having a short talk and discussing regarding the job, I started working the week after. So on the 7th of October I was no longer a NEET and once again I am working. Unlike my 2 other previous jobs this was the one that I already had some previous experience with and its pretty much why I went to college for. Even though I haven't worked on cars for quite a while, but on that week or 2 I pretty much got used to it already. Oh yeah, the name of the place I'm working for is called Kaitenaz Racing and its somewhere in Sunway. Its pretty near my house (although I still have to drive to work, but its only roughly a 5 minute drive from my house) and well, I just feel comfortable working there for some reason. Even if its been 3 years since I last worked around there, and even with many things changing since my training... some things still do indeed stay the same. I don't know why, but I just feel like I belong there for some reason, haha...

Anyhow, I don't wanna jinx this job or anything but hopefully I'll last a bit longer with my current line of work. I seriously need the money and experience, but most of all, I just wanna get my life back together somewhat. Which I guess is now a good time to divert your attention to the title of this blog post. So yeah... why am I "stuck in the mean time" then? Its not exactly a metaphor, however its something which has been bugging me ever since I wrote this blog post here. While writing that I did ponder what my life would be if I just went back in time and decided to do things differently back then. What if some of the things that happen in my life... didn't happen at all? But as much as I like to turn back time, its just not humanly possible... heck, it goes against everything about life itself! However, that doesn't mean you can't do all the things in the present like you did back then. As I'm trying to put back together the missing jigsaw puzzle in my life, I'm also starting back to rediscover myself in a way. The things that would make me happy like it was before and extinguish some of my darker times during the past months and years.

I started riding BMX again a few months ago after some random encounters and that urge to do something which I had promised to do for so long (especially after I got my bike stolen when I was still in secondary school) and now that I also got a job as a mechanic around the Sunway workshops my life is slowly coming back together again and hopefully I can move a bit more into that uncertain future of mine. Yes these two things are an important keys to the missing jigsaw puzzle of my life, but puzzle isn't necessarily completed yet. I still have many lingering questions left to answer, and having to settle some other stuff for this year such as my cosplay, DJing, video games and whatnot. (haha, its tough having so many hobbies...) But yeah... I have rekindled one of my old favorite pastimes, I have a job again which its something close to my heart, and I also lost some weight! (went from 105kg to around 85kg currently within 2 months, how is that for a miracle?) Yeah, even with October coming to and end soon I still am looking forward to the next 2 months before the year is over. Hopefully work won't be too stressful and that I can improve and learn even more than what I can do right now, and I can also get some things done before the end of the year... =)

Aaaaaaand I'm just gonna leave this here to end my blog post. I just can't believe they are coming to Malaysia after all these years. Ever since I heard the news that Mew are coming to KL I didn't even gave any second thoughts and got myself a ticket to their gig. Been a fan of them for so long, and to finally see them is almost like a dream come true. I'm definitely gonna cherish every moment that I get to see them perform live this Halloween... =)

These are essentially 2 songs combined into 1, with one playing in normal while another song is played in reverse. As quoted by Bo (or Silas, can't remember lol) "its like going forwards and backwards at the same time" which precisely sums up my life right now.

Finally September is coming to an end. It might have been a long wait, but I guess with all the ups and downs I had to deal with this month, I can finally put it all behind me and concentrate on the next 3 months. October couldn't come any sooner, and November & December are the months that are really important to me to pull everything through. Hopefully I can get a job within the next 2 weeks, otherwise I might be in deep sh*t both financially and planning wise as well. I practically need enough money to scrape my cosplay stuff for Comic Fiesta, and right now I only have enough budget to do 1 costume. However I'll try my best to pull off all the stops and get 2 costumes done in time. Also there is also some other stuff I need to pay up for as well other expenditures so a job is really much needed now, probably more than ever!

Anyhow, I don't wanna rant too much on this post so I guess I'll just keep things short and sweet. Right now I guess I should put the relationship sh*t behind me and just focus on being myself and concentrate on getting a job, as well as my ongoing goal of becoming better at BMX and also lose even more weight than I already have. (losing 15kgs in a month is quite something ya know?) Plus with the cosplay stuff to deal with within November and December I guess I might have my hands busy juggling many things. Work (if I do land a job somewhere), studying Japanese, riding BMX, cosplay, and whatever stuff I will get myself into throughout the remaining part of 2013. At least no one can complain about my life being dull anymore after this...

Also while doing this blog post I managed to found a band called "End Of September" which I have no idea it existed until now. Currently giving them a listen on Spotify and well, its not too bad I guess. Kinda reminds me of Evanescence & Eyes Set To Kill a bit, but its nowhere near hardcore metal stuff with all the growls and sh*t. But its kinda cool listening to something new from time to time... (as if having over 7000 artists/bands to listen to isn't enough!) Here is probably one of their hit songs on Youtube, and you go and decide if its worth listening to or not.

Oh, and I think I'll end this post with this. After riding for the past 2-3 months I finally decided to do something more drastic on my BMX bike and finally replaced the heavy Sunday Bikes hi-ten steel handlebar and fork for these more lightweight and stronger full chromoly Impurity Bike Co parts. I haven't really get to test and abuse them just yet, but I'll find out later tonight if they are worth it. They do make my bike lighter yes, but it also made my wallet lighter as well... xD

Posted this on Facebook a few days ago, and I thought to myself I should just post it again here for fun! Hahahaha.... well its a really really old song by Student Rick called, if you read the title above, "Falling For You". It also appeared in the game Aggressive Inline which is how I first heard this song. I don't know about you guys but I just love this song so much right now!!! The fact that I loved this song back then (when I played that game) and I still love it now, shows how good this band is haha...

If anyone is interested, here are the lyrics:

this drowning sorrow is shaking me
more than it ever has before
the road signs reading bitter end
leave me suspect of a crime

the city air chokes me today
more than it ever has before
i’m nervous to feel deserved
by these street signs anymore

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

i’m falling for you
i’m falling for you
i fell for you

these empty feelings question me
of who i think i’ve become
my mind is ticking life away
asking if you are the one

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

i’m falling for you
i’m falling for you
i fell for you

i’m dying to explain my heart
to you now
i’m dying to explain my heart
to you now
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart
i’m falling for you
i’m falling for you
i fell for you

God... those lyrics are just lovely aren't they?

Well I know I should have posted this weeks ago but I totally forgot about it!!! Seriously, I only remembered about this just yesterday lol. Anyway, the first part of the OHR3 has been played earlier today and boy was it just....... EPIC!!! If you people never knew about OHR then your missing quite a lot on this.

I know I'm not gonna spoil much about today's set, but I just have to say USAO and Shingo DJ just killed it honestly. Not to say the other DJ's are not that good or anything (in fact I think all the sets were awesome, except DJ The Charms' set cause he talks too much hahahaha.....) but its just with the 2 well established J-Core artists doing their thing, you know you are in for something special. If you did miss out on today's set, be sure to check the OHR site (link below) for the set downloads of some of the DJ playing today. I'm sure most of them will upload them soon enough.....

Anyhow, there is gonna be another day of OHR tomorrow so if you missed the one today then try not to miss tomorrow's set. M-Project will be playing tomorrow as well as DJ Rhythmics, Round Wave Crusher and several others so do go to their site and support the event. Its free and anyone can join in the chat while listening to the set playing.

メリークリスマス!!!
Well if posting on posting Twitter wasn't enough, I decided to post it here as well just for the sake of it. Wishing all my friends who celebrate Christmas today to have a good time with your relatives, friends, whatever. Enjoy this day everyone as 2009 is coming to a close, 2010 is just around the corner and I'm sure everyone has got their plans for next year.

As for me, I don't celebrate Christmas or give a s*** about 2010. All I know is I'm gonna watch Avatar later today with my father, and a few days later I'm going to Johor and spend most of my time in Singapore. What else is there for me to do? Play video games? Watch anime? Loaf around? LOL, doesn't matter though. Will think of something somehow in some way or some other.....

Oh, and an accompanying Christmas song courtesy of Shingo DJ:

Song by Cherry Bing (even though most people think it was from Cute Is What We Aim For since both bands had the same vocalists) Well enough about the bands though, it is the song that I want to post here. I swear this song is a disease, cause I just got infected by it!

Been listening to this song all day, for a good 10, 20, 30, even about 40 times repeatedly non-stop! (okay, maybe not that much but I swear I've been listening to this song a lot!) Vocals might suck a lot, lyrics might be stupid, and the music could be better but for some reason I just liked it! Maybe it was just the chorus that got me hooked.

It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough.....

So errr..... the Comiket (or Comic Market) is upon us yet again for what is like one of the most chaotic otaku convention in the world!!! Also known as the "winter comiket" for obvious reasons, there will be as usual a wide array of merchandise from doujin manga, music, and well, many other stuff I guess lol. But just like my previous Comiket post, I'll just be covering the music part of the event mostly being albums which I'm looking forward to being released. =)

Note: Some of the albums have little information on them, so I'll try to update this posts if any new info gets through.

[TCPLUS-0005] HARDCORE TANO*C - Speed Ball Z
Should be something similar to SpeedBall if the title is anything to go by. Quite liked that album a lot, as almost all the songs are high bpm and tempo. J-speedocre at its best!

[MSTBL0020] Mob Squad Tokyo Black Label – J-Core Masterz Vol. 6
A continuation of the J-Core Masterz series of albums. Pretty self explanatory there...

[MSTBL0019] Mob Squad Tokyo Black Label – Fuck DJ Paper Chaos EP
After the fiasco that happened on J-Core Masterz Vol.5 regarding DJ Paper Chaos, the Mob Squad Crew thought it was a great idea to make songs based on him, and so the EP was born. Not so sure what the songs will be about, but one things for sure, its all gonna be about DJ Paper Chaos! F*** DJ PAPER CHAOS!!!! (in a certain Argentinian accent lol)

[MPTCD010] MPT – Bastard Pop Terrorists Vol.10
Same with J-Core Masterz, this is another series of the Bastard Pop Terrorists albums. A welcome surprise is Shingo DJ will make his first appearance on this album, as well as a certain new artist (well not really new if you know who it was) named SMASHCORE making a debut in the album. Should be something worthwhile listening to both of them...

[MSTBL0022] DJ A.Q. - THE VERY BEST OF DJ A.Q. REMIXES
Oh.... my..... gawd!!!! A DJ A.Q. compilation!!!? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...... I'm just lost for words, thoughts and whatnot lol. I just love Aura Qualic, such a talented artist and also a all around good person. If I could get my hands on this, I would buy it without thinking twice!!!

[SHOT-002] Shot Music – FORTUNE ARTERIAL-Omnibus Edit-『P-O-P』
After listening to Shot Music's first release, Super Shot, I thought this was worth a mentioned. As the title suggest, it will mostly be a Fortune Arterial arranged album so I do not know much how the album is gonna be like. Hopefully it will be good lol...

[SRPC-0025] SharpnelSound Collection -弐-
DJ Sharpnel's compilation of songs. *yawn*

[AECD-020] ALiCE'S EMOTiON – Sphere Calibar
REDLiCE? Touhou remixes? You bet!

[CHS-0006] t+pazolite – Gotta Maze 2
If you love t+pazolite, then you will love this. No happy hardcore or Touhou stuff here, its all t+paz speedstyle!!! Definitely worth the wait IMO...

[IBCD-0011] VA – Hydrangea
Another Touhou album, but doesn't suck as much as REDALiCE's though haha. Tsukasa has always made good music, doesn't matter if he mostly does release Touhou arranged albums. I just liked listening to his albums haha...

[TDCD001] Betwixt & Between – Pure Existence
OMG B&B has made an album? Haha this is just gonna be epic. If anyone has listened to his songs (especially when he was with Hase on Khaotic Dimention) you would just be blown away by his songs. Its not your average J-Core song either.... sadly though, there is not much information on the album or what songs might appear on the album. Just listen to the demo on the link if you want to know how epic this album will be...

Well I do apologize if the post seems a little long and random or that I missed several other key releases here, but being very tired and trying to type in the middle of the night doesn't help me out much either haha. If anything, just click the link below for more key releases coming from C77:
Doujincore
VGMdb

Thats about it from me for now, will try to update the list again if there is any new info. (well, that is if I could remember that is haha!)

Song might be a bit old but for some odd reason or another I just love listening to these song for these past few days!!! Just happened to give Virtual Oblivion a spin on my iPod one day and I started listening to this song, I just "somehow" got attached to it.....

Yeah yeah, just enjoy listening to the upload. Might upload a couple more songs on Youtube if I have some time during the weekends. Oh, and I'll just leave this post with one quote I made up:

"You'll forget me and not evoke myself."

=P

I don't have to say anything. The song and lyrics just speaks for themselves, truly is such a touching and emotional song from Scary Kids Scaring Kids.

The Lyrics:

The silence keeps it easy
Keeps you safe for the moment
As you're walking away
Your footsteps get louder
All you needed was time
But now time will destroy us

It will all be over and here we are
We're stuck inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

I gave you everything but die with a smile
All you wanted was to live for a while
You took everything but it left you empty
You can't replace me, you can't

It's almost over and here we are
We're stuck inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

It will all be over and here we are
We'll die inside this salted earth together
You'll pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb
As my colors fade out

You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed

Oh yeah..... this has definitely had my jaw dropped the moment I say the video. I mean I seriously know that Hatsune Miku was popular, but to even have her own concert? This is is absof'kinlutely epic. For what is considered as only a singing synthesizer application software with a character based on the software, it sure does have a sort of attractiveness.... *ahem*

Well yeah, I knew you'd probably know that I'm a big fan of Hatsune Miku and I feel really really disappointed that I will never have the chance to see this in person as far as I'm concerned. I don't know, maybe I'm just a ronery otaku or a complete loony, or whatever you guys might be thinking of me but whatever.... I love her and I don't mind if she is my "waifu" in the 2D world, hahahahaha. Her birthday is coming soon, so I might do something special for her.... ^_^

If anyone is interested in finding out more about this:
Hatsune Miku’s First Live Performance!

Was just browsing through Wikipedia and Youtube about the Arctic Monkeys and discovered that Alex Turner had a side project called "The Last Shadow Puppets" during the time between Arctic Monkeys' 2nd album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" and their newly released 3rd album "Humbug".

Well I don't know how they actually sound like, maybe you can say its like "Arctic Monkeys" with a bit of a retro sound to them. Whatever it is I still think fans of Arctic Monkeys or Alex Turner alike would really like to listen to this. Also I can't wait to listen to their Humbug album when I get my other albums sorted out first lol.

Well yeah, I know this event is in Japan and the odd and chances of me being there is absolutely zero but thought I would just post what I'm expecting from Comiket this time around....

As the name implies (which is short for Comic Market) you'd think they would just be selling comics over there but if you think that you'd be wrong. Sure the majority of the things selling over there would still probably be dōjin comics, as well as other dōjin products related to anime (note: dōjin just means fanmade/unofficial products which are made by "circles") but of course my main interest is the dōjin music, specifically J-Core. Here is the list of the albums that are on my wishlist:


[TANOCD-0010] HARDCORE TANO*C – Hardcore Syndrome 3
What can be arguably said the album that is on everyone's mind in the J-Core scene. All the best J-Core artists with their different styles combined into one mind blowing album, its just a recipe for total epicness!!! With the previous 2 "Hardcore Syndrome" anything to go by, this is just gonna be as good (if not better) than what the last one had to offer.


[MPTCD009] MPT – BASTARD POP TERRORISTS VOL.9
Another "V.A." compilation album, full of J-Core songs that are top notch. Not as good a lineup as TANO*C but none the less with names such as M-Project, DJ Sharpnel, DJ Aura Qualic, M-Neko as well as several others in the album, it is something to look forward to. Especially when there is Aura Qualic!!!! =D


[SRPC-0024] DJ Sharpnel - 妄殺オタクティクス
Don't think I have to say much about why I love DJ Sharpnel. After hearing DJ Sharpnel played his set on Otaku Hardcore Revolution 2 I'm just completely sold over why he is considered on of the best in the J-Core scene. Wish I had the time to listen to more of his songs on my computer....


[DARKCD-0007] Druggy's Acid RacK - Pain Continues
Another J-Core compilation album, with probably even less known artists as the first two mentioned above. But of course with kenta-v.ez. and t+pazolite in it I just got to have this album, bringing their nu-style sound to a whole another level. Of course the other artists in the album is worth having a listen to as well, certainly something a little different from the more mainstream J-Core sound that is usually being played.


[MSTBL014] Mob Squad Tokyo – J-CORE MASTERZ VOL.5
Again, same s*** with J-Core and all but this time its more on the Mob Squad Tokyo crew. Only thing I'm looking forward to in this album (like almost every other MST albums lol) is Round Wave Crusher (a.k.a. Shingo DJ) hahahahaha.....


[ACED-018] ALiCE'S EMOTiON – Colors
J-Core with Touhou mixed in. Like almost every other Touhou music arrangement albums you'd think it would just suck right? Well yeah, I guess it kinda sucked but since its REDALiCE it probably wouldn't be all that bad. There is always one or two tracks that I would get addicted to right away and have a hard time stop listening to it. (which does happen quite often to me)


[IBCD-0009] Sound Online - Nostalgia
and lastly this. Something similar in a way to ALiCE'S EMOTiON album (being a Touhou arrangement album) I don't think I have to say much about the album. With that said though listening to a Tsukasa composed song is pretty good....

Well yeah that is all I have to list down right now, would have like to added more to the list but that would take up so much time. Also I know there is also many other things I would like to cover that is coming up at Comiket (like the comics and figurines) but I don't think I have much interest (or the money for that matter) to talk about them. Unlike music which is easier to find and get (if you know where to look) I have a very little chance of obtaining those other stuff here. If you guys want to know more about the other albums being released at Comiket or just want to know Comiket in general, just check out the link below.

Been listening to this song almost everyday ever since I listened to The Chemical Brothers feat. Midlake - The Pills Wont Help You Know on my iTunes a few days ago. Thought it sounded quite nice actually.....

Don't really know much about them, but they are a band based in Denton, Texas. Just look up the links to know more about them:

Sorry that I haven't posted much on my blog these days, been real busy with college now with classes from morning till evening from Monday to Thrusday! Argh, why did I even torture myself like this, would have been better I became a NEET and just stay home....

Anyway, been addicted to this song ever since I heard on on OHR2 and never stopped listening to it ever since. Got to say USAO does make pretty dope jumpstyle tracks, just listen to the bass kick at 3.38, just makes you wanna jump!!!! Haha, lol. Don't think I could stop listening to this for a while..... kinda wished I actually have time to watch K-On! though. Already downloaded all the episodes and is sitting on my hard drive, but lack of time means it will probably be there for a while....

Can't remember if I posted it here yet or not, but I'm totally looking forward to it. So what is "Otaku Hardcore Revolution 2" about then? In short, it is the best hardcore party ever!!!!

Lol, but seriously that is really not it to be honest. Like the picture says, it is an online radio event hosted by none other than Shingo DJ himself (a.k.a Round Wave Crusher) and will be performing during the event along side several other DJ's as well including the likes of DJ Sharpnel and USAO. Well if the first OHR event is anything to go by this would probably be an even better event than the previous one. Haha, yeah maybe I'm just a little overboard with the event but I just can't help it...... =P

J-Core all the way baby!!!!

Otaku Hardcore Revolution

Not that I liked this song a lot or anything, just felt like posting this song somehow....

and with that ends my posting on this blog for the month of June and looking forward to the month of July. Well why July is so special? Watch this space to find out.... =)

I just don't know how this ep got leaked out ahead of schedule but yeah, I got this somewhere and just had to download it. As a big fan of Mew I can't turn down the offer to try and listen to the ep and give my comments about some of the songs that were included in the ep....

The ep itself is like a preview of the album "No More Stories...." (which by the way is a really really long title) and 2 out of the 5 songs in this ep is supposed to appear in the album. The first song, titled "Introducing Palace Players" was the first song I've heard about a month or so ago, and thought the way the song started was quite something but as you expect from Mew, it has to be different. Even when the lyrics just doesn't make sense, somehow the song was quite "catchy" in a way.

I thought that song was good, until I started to listen to "Repeaterbeater" a few days ago also which is the second song in the ep. I don't know why I quite liked it, maybe its because of the tempo and overall sound that kinda reminds me of their earlier albums, or maybe its the lyrics again that made it sound so good. I don't care though, it is just another good song that I'll be looking forward to in the album. As for the rest, they are all mostly just B-sides songs that would not make it into the album and mostly compromise of just some short instrument tracks and demo.

Overall, the ep might be short but it does give a good indication how good the album is going to be when it comes out this August. So if you just can't wait for the album to come out until then you could always get yourself the ep and listen to that while you wait for the eventual release of:

No more stories are told today,
I’m sorry, they washed away.
No more stories the world is grey,
I’m tired, Let’s wash away.

(told you the title was long!)

LOL, over 9000 joked failed. Yes, I mean finally I've got over 10k songs on my iTunes now. But yeah, I'm not bragging or anything as I'm sure there are people who has way more music on their computers than I do, but this is an achievement that I never thought would happen when I first got my iPod a few years ago.....

Well I mean really, when I first got my iPod Classic 160GB my brother and sister told me that I just wasted my money buying it and will never fill it up. But somehow over the years I managed to collect and fill up my iPod with so many different songs from many genres and almost listen to something different everyday. (well, until I got addicted to J-core and hardcore dance music. Doesn't mean I don't listen to anything else though) So like yeah, maybe for a normal person 10k would probably be too much to listen to but for a music addict for me even this is not enough. There is still tons of music out there I would love to listen to and if I have the chance even to buy the CD!

Yeah yeah, certainly none of this would've been possible if I didn't have a bigger HD or an iPod. If I was still stuck using a CD player and just burning 1 album per CD, it would get me nowhere like where I am now. So yeah, thank god for technology. Also, that 10k on my iTunes is not exactly all the songs I have. Currently I have like 16k or so music on my hard drive, with like several hundreds that needs to be "sorted" out before I synced them into my iPod.
