Phrazes for the Young

oh yeah before I go on hiatus, I would like to post it here..

This is actually the debut solo album by the American greatest songwriter which is also The Strokes front man Julian Casablancas. Phrazes for the Young is released on November 2, 2009 in the UK and November 3 in the US.

The track listing is as follows:
1. "Out of the Blue" 4:41
2. "Left & Right in the Dark" 4:54
3. "11th Dimension" 4:03
4. "4 Chords of the Apocalypse" 4:59
5. "Ludlow St." 5:42
6. "River of Brakelights" 5:08
7. "Glass" 5:20
8. "Tourist" 5:02
9. "Old Hollywood (iTunes bonus track)" 4:33
10. "30 Minute Boyfriend (iTunes bonus track)" 3:31
11. "I Wish It Was Christmas Today (iTunes bonus track)" 3:11

I’ve already listened to the full album. Gosh, I should say I like it. Well I’m a huge fan of this man when he was with The Strokes. Oh he still does by the way but waiting for their latest album is quite tiring. It’s a good thing that he came with a debut solo album so that their fans would not be so boring waiting. And that would be me. The album is different from The Strokes album as this is Julian’s solo so I cannot compare it with The Strokes. I like his voice but somehow as a whole I don’t really dig the sound. The album is good, songs are all great but the music itself didn’t do for me. I don’t know. I should have listened to it few more times. Then maybe I might change my view about the music. Among the songs I think I like are Ludlow St, I Wish It Was Christmas Today, and 4 Chords of the Apocalypse. However I’m still excited for the upcoming Strokes album. Hoping it will be worth the wait.

p/s: You can listen to the full stream of the whole album in here.

I don't have a title for this

I have to apologize for being a total lazy bitch for not updating my blog. Well I have been super busy for the past few weeks. I had less time to finish my mobile robot. Things aren’t going as quite as it seems but I’m fine with it since I’ve learned a lot. Currently I’m doing nothing literally. Just munching my chocolates and listening to some old awesome bands like The Cranberries, Garbage, The Cardigans and etc. Their music somehow calms me in various ways. I’m supposed to be studying right now, my final is next week. So I’m off to study and I’m not going to update my blog soon. I’ve lost interest to write in here even though I’ve lots of things to share. I’ll be back if I changed my mind. Till then have good days people..!

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire Assistant

It is the trailer of new upcoming movie based on the first three books of the book series The Saga of Darren Shan by author Darren Shan.
It looks brilliant but as usual for those who've read the books, please don't expect much since they've changed lots of parts. Just wanted to share it here since this is the movie that I've been waiting for.
Oh not to forget try check out Daybreakers Trailer too..

goodbye Mr. Holiday..

Today will be the last day of my holiday. Oh Mr. Holiday, I’m going to miss you. Really miss you. I have my classes as usual starting tomorrow and lots of assignments coming up, to be added with unfinished assignments. Huu.

By the way, last few days I went to the beach for holiday. I had fun with my families and all my cousins. Well you know it was always fun to watch the waves as it hits the shore and we did enjoy a good barbecue. However, there was this one thing annoyed us. When we were playing ball, kites and some of us were happily swimming in the sea, there was this one “not-so-bright” guy came with his fierce-looking bulldog. He was completely out of his mind to actually take his dog into the sea. Euw..please..! It’s a big no-no to bring your dog to the beach and into the sea? Come on? My cousins and some of the people who were already swimming in the sea were so furious and they had to leave as this guy did not want to leave. He was so cold and I think he’s not even local. He did it on purpose because there are lots of other spaces in the sea but he still wanted to come to a place where there’s a crowd of people. I don’t want to say he’s stupid but he has no manners at all. That’s for sure.

New TV series: Melrose Place and The Beautiful Life

hurmm I watched these new TV series from The CW.

MELROSE PLACE



Melrose Place 2.0 which is the remake of the Melrose Place. The series is quite interesting. I reckon it is because of the good acting, good storyline and nice songs as well. Katie Cassidy and Stephanie Jacobsen are good. But not Ashlee Simpson! she's so stiff and can't act. That one's pretty obvious.

THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE


The Beautiful life revolves around a group of models living together in a co-ed residence in New York starring Mischa Barton, Sara Paxton, Corbin Bleu, Elle Macpherson and many more. I wasn't really sold watching the series. It may looks like it's going to be a hit but I personally don't think so. It lacks something and I don't even know what is that something. Haha. But I miss watching Mischa Barton so I'm going to follow it anyway. I love watching her in The O.C so I'm going to give it a try.

The Vampire Diaries

I've just watched 2 episodes of The Vampire Diaries. I'm not sure what to say whether I like this series or not. Well obviously I've been a fan of vampires but the series is quite typical. You know sort of like Twilight, and there are lots of cliché scripts in the series. If I say I did not like it would be a lie because I do want to know what is next for the coming episodes. However, the acting was not so good with the cliché scripts and all. Still I'm hooked on it since its TV series. I wanted to know the ending. To compare it with True Blood, I must say True Blood is more like an adult-vampire stories that has good plot, good storyline but in certain parts (only certain parts!) the show was a bit stupid. The Vampire Diaries on the other hand is so Twilight which is for teenagers who wanted to see lovey-dovey relationship between vampire and human. I don't know about the book because I haven't read the books but if the scene where Stefan and Elena on the bridge are talking where something happens to his eyes isn't from the book then it's so Twilight. Lots of parts were so much like Twilight so those parts weren't so interesting at all. The only thing I like is the soundtrack but yeah I'll keep watching it anyway. I love this one particular song by The All American Rejects. Well I'm not really into them but the song is great, the lyric's awesome. I also love Placebo, Running Up That Hill because I'm a huge fan of Placebo so there's no question why I like the song.

Other songs I like from the two episodes:
Gravity by Sara Bareilles--> the lyric's great..

Help I'm Alive by Metric
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtA7YIFapnY">

Here is the song Back To Me by The All American Rejects:

Hey you
So you never really found your way
Stay true
Did you ever make it through today

That when I think about a day without it
Everydays the same
You wish that you could find someone
But Im the only one to blame

Cant you see
I beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know youre gonna find your way back to me

No dont
Dont you ever let a piece of me down
Cause time wont
Get back when Im never around

When we live between so many walls
That I can barely breathe
You say that you just want someone
But Im the only one you need

Cant you see
I Beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know youre gonna find your way

If its me
That you dont need
When the lights go out tonight I know
Youre never gonna find your way

Soon when I get you I wont let you go
Oooh if I let you
You can take away all that I thought was wrong
And if you hear me theres not much to say
Theres gotta be a better way

Cant you see
I beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the sky tonight
I know youre going to find your way back to me

Cant you see
I beg and plead
Cause when the lights go out tonight
I know youre never gonna find your way

If its me
That you dont need
That when the lights go out tonight
I know youre never gonna find you way
If you pace around the world 'til you're with me
And when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know youre gonna find your way back to me

Heroes Volume 5: Redemption

Yeah..I know..All of you already watched it right? I wanted to put it so let it be.
I'm super excited for the volume 5 despite all the criticism I wrote about last season. Seeing the trailer, it looks like they have new group right? It's the Carnival which is the opposite of what the Company was. They wanted people to know about the ability and power. Now Sylar is in Nathan's body..Urghh I guess this is what makes it interesting..and the rest we'll just have to wait until 22nd September 2009. We'll know about it. And I really wanted to see some characters develop into something new. Let's just wait for it. =]

Finally I'm back..

It has been quite a while since I last checked my blog..I'm really sorry..I had to deal with several things..I have exams, assignments and I have to wait till I get my laptop back. Then I had to stay away from the internet for a while to make sure that I have a good firewall, anti-spyware, antivirus and etc. I didn't want to risk my laptop to being attacked with viruses again. I'm done with that. It was so fucked up that I couldn't switch on my laptop when I have tons of assignments to do. =[ Let's just forget about that.

Now I'm going to talk about TV series. Yeah..! I'm currently on 2 weeks holiday, so Happy Holiday for me..I have few assignments to be submitted after holiday. You know the lecturers; they won't let us to have free perfect holiday..=[ But I'm not going to think about work for a while..Ha-ha..
Well I'm currently watching all new episode of new season of almost every TV series. Gossip Girl, 90210, One Tree Hill, and the latest one Vampire Diaries. Let me talk about it one by one.
First one is Gossip Girl. Oo I still love Chuck and Blair. They're becoming sweeter and crazier than ever. I really hope they will be more like that throughout the whole season. Serena?! I don't know what's going on with her trying to get her dad's attention and all other stuff. Still she’s the heart of the gossip girl. haha

For 90210, I don't know but for some weird reason I do pity Annie. Honestly, I'm not really into her and I think she's the most annoying character but somehow I do pity her in this season since I think Naomi would go further to humiliate her..I don't know..Maybe something like publishing Annie's naked pics.. nah I have to wait for 2nd eps.

For One Tree Hill, ooohh the series has been going on for so long! If it's not for Brooke, I don't think I would go and follow the series again. Thank goodness that Brooke and Julian have become closer in a relationship, and that's a good thing. It's been a long time since Brooke had a good relationship.

For Vampire Diaries, I've gotta say this series is a bit typical. You know nowadays there are lots of vampire based story but it keeps getting interesting. Perhaps it's because of my growing love for vampire. Ahh..Wuteve..

Lastly, I'm waiting for Heroes Volume 5: Redemption.
