I've posted Radiohead's video from Coachella fest 2012 before, so here's another video; an acoustic session by Alex Turner.
This is actually different from Arctic Monkeys' set for Coachella.
I feel like Alex is serenading me!
Gosh.
P/s: I love listening to Love Is A Laserquest while driving. Weird.
After
all these years, they still rock my socks.
And this song, it never gets old. (I personally think The Bends and OK Computer are their best albums of all.)
It was taken from their set in Coachella 2012.
And this was the end of it.
I was blown away.
P/s: I heard some rumors about their upcoming album. I've listened to few tracks but I'm not quite sure. Let's just wait for it. ;)
This is the official video for Oh Chentaku's Sing It Rock 'n' Roll (SIRR).
It has been featured in MTV Asia.
This is taken from Yuna self-titled album.
It's her US debut album (She released an EP in US before).
This is my favorite song from the album.
People are more on Lullabies but I chose this one.
Such a lovely song!
You got that walk walk walk
Got that talk talk talk
Got that swagger-er-er
Such a glamor-or-or
You're like a real life doll
With your hand that falls
Like niagara ah ahBut that don't matter-er-er
Cause that don't change the fact
that your heart is black
Cause you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds
Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
You may think you're pretty
But you'll see that beauty is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
You'll only play play play
If you get your way always
In the center-er-er
Of attentio-io-ion
All the lying
And the cheating
The mistreating
How you even sleep at ni-igh-igh-ight
Blows my mi-i-i-indI wonder when you'll see
but you don't bother me
You can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds
Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
you may think you're pretty
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
I spent all of my youth
trying to be you
thought that you were special
that you're beautiful
but the more of you I see
the more I'm glad I'm me
Cause you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Trying to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds
Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
you may think you're pretty
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
P/s: The song is super new, I couldn't find any lyrics for the song so here's my take on it.
I couldn't finish it anyway since I'm not even sure.
Even the parts I wrote are not certain.
I'll change it when I get the original lyrics. :)
--> Thanks to the Anon who left comment correcting my lyrics. As of now, I'm gonna stick with his/her version. Now the lyrics made sense to me. Thanks luv! :)
And again, huge thanks to another Anon who left comment here. I've changed my lyrics. Thanks luv. :)
--> Huge thanks to James Cobalt for correcting my lyrics. I've changes it with your version and yes, his version; it makes a lot more sense.
Thanks luv. ;)
I love Sara Bareilles and she's one of the amazing singers who would just blow you away with live performances.
I've always love this song and I love the lyrics as well esp this part:
"Stealing gold from the silver they see, but it's not me"
It's the title of the latest EP from The Pretty Reckless.
Well I love them and I didn't know they released a new EP up till today.
I was watching Yuna's US debut album preview by Perez Hilton in Youtube and I stumbled upon the preview of Hit Me Like A Man by The Pretty Reckless.
Taylor is just freaking amazing especially live. I wrote about her before.
She has this amazing voice.
I've listened to the whole EP and it's pretty rad..!!
I love Under The Water and Cold-Blooded.
I think The Pretty Reckless is underrated. Come on, this is such a good band.
But then again, people don't really like this kind of music.
I love them anyway. I just have a slight problem with her racy image. Other than that, I'm fine with it.
I even love their cover version of Like A Stone (Audioslave), Aerials (SOAD), Wonderwall (Oasis), and Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes).
I'm a bit bias knowing the fact that they have covered most of my favorite songs. Hahaa
Well my life, it's a long shot. And here's one of my fav songs:
I felt it, the wire touched my neck
And then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming,
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning
I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on
This thing we may have started
Intentional or not, I don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That ask for our commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out of that limb
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about
That we'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind
And we'll see which way it's blowing
And into this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much too close to stop
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
Oh I waited for fact to come to fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it
It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
There's no chance, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
It's a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
It's a long shot but I say why not
Oh you never saw me coming
It's an old song by Skrillex. Good music is still a good music regardless of its genre.
Just look at how many viewers for this video alone. It's beyond imagination.
ZOMG. Zee Avi did an awesome job covering Morrissey's First of The Gang To Die. Soulful rendition.
I still love Morrissey's version, but damn Zee Avi's version is the second best. ;)
You have never been in love
until you've seen the stars
reflect in the reservoirs
And you have never been in love
until you've seen the dawn rise
behind the Home for the Blind
We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the
first of the gang with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die, oh my
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die, oh my
You have never been in love
until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bone
We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
and you're standing on our streets
where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die
Such a silly boy
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad
to go under the sod
And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not very rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts away
He stole all hearts away
Away...
He stole all hearts away
Away...
I love Adele. Well I love her even more when I know she's actually my age. Frankly, I've always thought she's far older than me.
Hearing the live version is always 1000x better than the album. She sings her heart out in live session especially in the small occasion.
Try listen to the whole set of her live session in Itunes Festival 2011. God, it triggers a sudden gush of emotions. Weird but damn, it's connected in every way even if you've never felt that way before. Okay, I'm talking gibberish now. Whatever. Enjoy the real deal, beat that Taylor Swift!! Hahahaha. Her lyrics sound far realistic than yours. Sorry!!
Adele is awesome!
A good friend of mine gave me this song, thanks to you pal! ;)
I don’t have time to be in love
Kissing you on the cheek, 200 times a week
I don’t have time to be in love
Watching a foreign film, feet on the windowsill
But that’s not true when I’m with you
I don’t have time to be in love
Way too much candlelight, keeping me warm at night
I don’t have time to be in love
Cooking a meal for two, climbing all over you
But that’s not true when I’m with you
Cause I used to be there for you when you were so blue
I’d walk with you in the rain
Nothing was better when we did it together
I don’t have time for love
I don’t have time to be in love
Holding you to my chest, feeling your every breath
I don’t have time to be in love
Laughing so hard we cry, sometimes I don’t know why
I don’t have time to be in love
Maybe this revelry just wasn’t meant for me
But that’s not true when I’m with you
When I’m with you
P/s: Priscilla Ahn, she never fails to amaze me with her angelic voice. It gives me goosebumps hearing her voice. Awesome..!! The video is perfect with her cute charm. ;)
Here's the official music video of Skinny Love by Birdy.
What a powerful voice. I love her. She's just 15 years old. What an amazing talent.
Her name is Jasmine Van den Bogaerde but she's using Birdy as her stage name.
Her mom is a concert pianist, no wonder she's great at playing piano.
I love the song. I'm gonna find the piano notes for this one soon. ;)
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...
Sullen load is full so slow on the split
I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you? who will fight?
And who will fall, far behind?
Come on skinny love ........
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...
Why no one will help me
I am too dumb I am too smart
They'll not understand me
I am lonely
They'll hate me
And there is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
And god wants me to work
No resting no lazy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me small
They've kept me safe in my own shell
Bringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation
And it clears my side
Now my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
The bar that is raised to the heights
No one can have it all see
I have to they want me to
And I can't let them down
I'll never be happy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stuck
They've kept me locked in my own cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me small
They've kept me locked in my own cell
P/s: I love Alanis Morissette. And yes, lately this old song keeps looping in my car. I just love the meaning and the acoustic version. Alanis' voice still haunts me. Haha. ;)
Okay so here are couple of videos uploaded on Youtube, the rest you can search on Youtube. BTW, I've downloaded the full web cast of The Strokes' performance and I keep playing it on the loop. Mann, I can't get over it. Still can't. That's too bad, no?! Well they were too awesome. (Being an avid fan is tiring huh?! xD)
In fact, I'm planning to change my last name to Casablancas, no longer Doherty, or even Whibley. haha. Kidding. It's not even mine. xD
And here's the complete list of songs they've played from first to the last. :)
There are many people admiring The Strokes, and she's one of the many. She wanted to see Coachella Live. She told herself "I Can't Win" with so many people. Nevertheless, she's not gonna give up. Why would she? Jules, Albert,Nick and Niko are effing cool. They make her heart thumping like a drum every time she sees them. It's Hard To Explain. They played Under Cover of Darkness and NYC Cops so good that she thought to herself to keep up with the Games, not a chance to give up! She even made a promise, Someday she will go to their concert. She wanted to yell "Oh Jules, You're So Right in The Modern Age."
She effing need to see them live since she knows You Only Live Once. No, she's not Taken For A Fool for not being able to drop her Juicebox while watching them. She's flabbergasted and she's not even Under Control, she's out of control. It is indeed a Gratisfaction. She was closed to becoming a Reptilia for being so wild Last Night. Well thanks a bunch to the uber-cool band, The Strokes for every momentous moments in her life. Even with some flaws, she's grateful for the memories, and yes no choices left, she should either Take It or Leave It.
Here are some of the colored images, again courtesy of suckitandseeat1251
A confession: I've never like anything with leopard prints. A satin leopard prints? That's a big no-no for me, but damn, he's killing it with this one. Nick Valensi, you're the man. Oh well he paired it with Converse.
One thing about Coachella, I missed watching The Kills live, but thanks to Youtube, I've watched their performance. I love VV. She's getting better and better. Their opening with 'No Wow' wow-ed me.
Anyway, some people have been asking me about Arctic Monkeys' official music video for 'Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair'. Well I must say the music video is great. After a few listens, I can now say I like the song. Maybe the video did put some weight into it. Somehow the lighting fit perfectly with the melody etc. I'm serious. Watch it.

Have you seen it live? ZOMG. It was EPIC.
My friend tweeted me about this one. He asked me to wake up and go stream the coachella on Youtube, since The Strokes is coming up next. Without further ado, I went to Youtube and yes, coachella live it is. I watched The Nationals first, then Ratatat and *drumrolls please* The Strokes.
HELL YEAH. The Strokes mannnn....<3
I've been dreaming to watch them performing live and yes Jules did appear in my dream last week. haaaha. I've watched their live performance but none of them were live as in live streaming mann.. An infinite thanks to the genius who came out with an idea to let us fans streaming the concert. The live feed was awesome. Seriously, I bet yaa, thousands of people from whole wide world streamed it. Come on, it's Coachella. :)
It was wonderful. It felt like I was watching them live in there with a VIP seat I might add, albeit there's no colors. Still, black and white rocks on. See?! A twisted mind of a girl who's not even there but pretending that she was there. Oh pathetic? well, I don't effing care.
The Strokes killing it dude..!!
Jules like always looking stunning with his hat and sunnies. I love it when he always changed the lyrics. And yeah Jules's still rocking with his deep voice. That's sexy mann.. Jules,please marry me. Sorry Juliet, move over! haha. xD
Not to mention, he's on top form with his light mood and being humorous, and remember the high note on Games?! Splendid. <3 (I don't mind Julian's banter at all, love it)
Remember , "let's us fuckin’ juicebox their faces!”, "I jest, I jest" ,"okay my pilgrims friend", "You mothafuckas ready" ??? LTMQ. :)
Albert was perfect with his pipes or whatever that is. Valensi was good with his solo. Fab and Nikolai were amazing too. Did you see Valensi's converse?? aww..it's cool. :)
The 1st song was I Can't Win. Oh it bring memories. Then they played Hard To Explain, Under Cover of Darkness, Someday, The Modern Age, Reptilia, NYC Cops, Games, You're So Right, You Only Live Once, Taken For A Fool, Juicebox, Under Control, Gratisfaction, Last Night and Take It Or Leave it (in no particular order).
Well that's all I remember. If I miss any song, I'm sorry. I was hyperventilating the whole time watching them plus flooding the timeline with #CoachellaLive #thestrokes. Sorry tweeples.
In fact, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi and Juicebox were the trending topic (TT). (^_^)
I was literally melting when they played Hard To Explain. After all, it's Jules & Juliet song. <3
I love every bits of it. I love how they played the old songs. <3 I was singing along to the tunes while taking care of my heart, a pulse to stabilize. hehe Oh I LOVE YOU THE STROKES.
This is definitely going into my bucket list: To see them performing live for real. I shall go to one of their concert, at least once in my life. :)
Heard they're coming to play in Bali this coming August, I hope they will come down to Kuala Lumpur which I highly doubt BTW still, I'm hoping they will. It would be a dream come true. A princess is no longer longing for her fairy tale. Hahah.
All in all, I still love them and yes they were fantastic and mind blowing. Again, thanks for the live feed (No hiccups whatsoever mann.. ) as it was hell of an experience watching them performing live. I'm still in awe. :)
p/s: I'm waiting for the video soon to be uploaded by unknown. I wanna watch it over and over again.
Cheers xoxo
