Have you heard of Finetune? I reckon it's got the most complete song library on the web, and for free. Trust my reckoning.
Here's my first playlist consisting of 45 of my favourite tracks, and surprisingly Finetune has them.
I guess this song got the most play-count in my ipod, not to mention the rest of the tracks from the album. Can't wait for Contact to be on the shelves.
A particular song will grow on me after some plays as much as I seldom write anything about music (except for some short ramblings on Last.FM). My, that sentence you've just read sounds so confusing.
By the way, I've listened to the demo tracks of Starsailor's new album called On The Outside. James Walsh's tone remind me of something like The Verve meets Keane (think Richard Ashcroft, only mellower), and honestly I feel this album is more paced than all thier previous. If you really want to listen then you might consider trying out "In The Crossfire" as an introduction, a rather slow but progressively beautiful track... and I've already fall in love with "Tie Up My Hands".
As an added note Richard Ashcroft will be releasing Keys To The World later this month so all you The Verve (or maybe the man himself) fans might want to check it out.
A tuned down version from Tears for Fears' The Hurting(?) album , quite nice. But I still prefer the more dramatic original.
Aidilfitri has past (almost), and I thought I'll slot in some time to update. I'm looking forward to a house warming at abang Rafi's place, soon after the soccer match with SAS. On the 14th, where we'll be having a real festive visits among colleagues. The response was overwhelming, over 40 of them have signed up and perhaps two minibuses have been chartered. This is going to be extreme house-warming.
On a personal note, I've transfered my ownership of the iPod Mini to my brother, and I've been using my W800i for all my mobile mp3 needs. Taufik will have to wait till the end of the month when my brother grabs the Nano. I've decided not to own another iPod or such, so that I can save in time to get a prosumer or maybe a digital SLR. Nevertheless, I've put that priority further down in the list.
Spent the recent off days with Dina. She seems alot happier lately, and that's good enough for me. Went down to the cd shop to get The Very Best Of The Stone Roses, although I felt that I should have settled for its Second Coming.
Just when I was gleaming with exuberance on signing up with Last.fm, the site is down for maintenance. Why must this be happening today...
Anyway, there are some songs which is stuck in my mind,
- King or Rodeo - Kings of Leon
- Jeremy - Pearl Jam
- Ten Storey Love Song - The Stone Roses
Thanks to Dina for introducing me to Explosions In The Sky. Pretty.
I’ve finally attained the rank of Mediator in Gamespot, after a year of signing up. However I find myself participating less on its forums or even joining one of their guilds – but it’s the best place around for gaming reviews and news, and not to mention tracking my games as well.
Was on stand-by till 4 pm today, all my plans went down the drain. Almost went to Wisma to get the pair of Gravis, but I’d reckon from the time I left home to the place the shop would have closed. It doesn’t matter, I still have Sunday despite IPPT in the morning. By the way called Dina earlier on. On the phone her voice sound muffled, so I thought she was talking with her mouth full. Unfortunately she was having fever.
Will be meeting Shafit and the rest of the blokes for a session tomorrow evening. He’ll be introducing me with a pair of drumsticks. It’s just something I’m very curious about. As a note, I’m getting fond of BSP’s "True Adventures". Everytime I listen to it felt like I’m in someplace beautiful yet exciting.
