Music Mondays: Kina Grannis in KL

Despite the heavy traffic on a weekday night headed towards the Bentley Music Auditorium, I managed to reach the venue in time for Kina's show. If you've read my previous post on watching AJ Rafael, I actually bought a ticket to show support; this time however I was grateful for Pauline from SoulManna Live who graciously gave me a media pass and the hall was already packed out when I walked in!

Music Mondays: Big Bang Fever

If you were thinking The Big Bang Theory, it's not quite. But if you were thinking OMG does she mean that Korean group Big Bang? Yes, you get brownie points.

I know how everyone seems like a Kpop fan nowadays but I assure you, I'm not one of those who got on the bandwagon just recently... Then again, that story shall be left for another day...

Back to Big Bang, they just finished their Korean concert last week and their new songs like "Blue" are capturing fans and non-fans alike since its release. I had the privilege to meet the boys and interview them last year when GD, TOP & SeungRi came for the Korean Music Wave, and man I have to say that they're a really funny bunch despite their crazily bold fashion & hair.

Music Mondays: Do Movie Soundtracks Make You Watch a Movie?

It's not easy to come up with music that can move your emotions, and even more so songs that can reflect or even represent a movie.

Think of Armageddon and Aerosmith's Don't Wanna Miss A Thing will come to mind, or Step Up 3D and you're reminded of Flo-rida's Club Can't Handle Me; it's music like these that very much help set the tone of the movie, and you can't help but associate them with each other.

But I have to say, there's been two songs that are associated to this one movie that I cannot (for the life of me) come to terms with.

Music Mondays: One Direction or Boyce Avenue?

Lately a few of my colleagues have been hooked on to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction. They've been playing the song over and over; and with it's catchy tune, it's so easy to have the song stuck in your head.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining cause I for one love the song too. Not to mention I've always been a fan of British bands, pop music or not. But I have to say, the first time I heard this song, it was a cover by this group called Boyce Avenue on YouTube and not by One Direction; so when I heard the original, I was pretty surprised at how different the cover was from the original.

Music Mondays: Superbowl Superstar

It's the Superbowl season in the U.S. right now and every single picture or tweet that I've seen of the YouTube artists I follow in the states are ALL talking about the superbowl. Heck, even Martha Stewart has recipes specially for game days!

But because it's Music Mondays, I'm going to talk about the superbowl & music, and maybe leave the food out for tomorrow.

Music Mondays: Narmi Adventures

Armed with a guitar, a mic, recorder, and his soothing voice, Narmi is out to conquer the world! Well, not really but that's kinda like what I thought when I first saw his tumblr & facebook page named Narmi Adventures.

Music Mondays: AJ Rafael LIVE in KL

Hey guys, the new year has passed and this is my first post for 2012! And the blog has a new layout (well sorta) for the new year~  \(^O^)/

So yes, AJ Rafael was in town last Saturday to perform for his fellow Malaysian YouTube fans at the Bentley Auditorium and boy was he amazing!

If you watched AJ's vids of him introducing his South East Asia tour dates, you'd know that his KL showcase fell on the same day as Simple Plan's. AJ actually revealed that the KL show was near to getting canceled; but because of the crowd that turned up, it didn't. And because of that, he thanked everyone that came out that night.
