1,2,3,4



Theres only one thing two do three words four you.
I love you.
(I love you)
There's only one way two say those three words
and that's what I'll do.
I love you.
(I love you)


Actually the previous song is for the unfortunate folks that unfortunately fell out of a relationship before Valentine's Day. So to kind off balance it out, hence this post.

This song is obviously to go around to help to say those 3 words that guys should be stingy to say.

我不難過





I listened to this song countless of times but I never really watched the MV until now.

Was it compulsory for someone to be terminally illed (or seems to be) for MV during those days?

My Chemical Romance don't make you suicidal. Maybe it was Your Chemical Romance

Disclaimer: This is an entry of Exploitation. I am simply doing this, just for the very fact I can dig My Chemical Romance on the title of this entry (Read. It's on the top). I do not endorse the very notions of Hurt, be it on Inflict on Self or Others by Self or Others, as a way of escaping or simply to get "High" or any other negative stereotype notions that are loosely linked to Emo music usually by either Idiots who Like Emo Music or just plain Idiots who didn't like Emo music.

I couldn't tell but laugh when the article quoted lines from The Black Parade in which I believe to be a song about Fighting Against Oppression and the Odds and Keep on Living. Not a song about Glorifying Yourself By Killing yourself (which I believe is likely to be easier to achieve by going to Romania and asking Vampires to make yourself as their equal.) I mean how many My Chemical Romance followers are out there? If they were all suicidal and wanted to kill themselves, I am pretty sure Gerard Way and friends wouldn't be making any money at all. In fact they probably killed themselves too since they didn't know anyone who like their music (since the fan were all dead. From Killing Themselves).

Remember this:


My Chemical Romance don't make me want to kill myself. Maybe it was Your Chemical Romance.

When most people are obsessed in something beyond the norm, it's usually a cry for attention. Poor Hannah probably died because no one try to see her as a person but a label (E.g. Emo Kid, Teenager). More cases like this will occurred in one fashion or another and trying to pin the blame on a media/music/culture wouldn't necessary solve anything.



No. I don't particularly love Emo.

September - Earth, Wind & Fire

Urgh. September is a nice song but playing it on Elite Beat Agent.....on the Diva Level is....




Anyway I couldn't even clear the game at Normal. Period. (And I am with Ouedan & FF 3).

Oh and the original Song sung Live (which is faster than the recorded version...but you can feel the energy of the song...and you know they couldn't just keep it down)




and Sowelu cover September in her latest Naked album (which had the 6th ED of D-Greyman, Wish ,in it).

Tree hugger by antsy pants



Sometimes, a nice song doesn't had to mean anything (or is it?).

Tree Hugger is in the OST of Juno, a particularly nice movie I just watched recently.

There's quite a bit of songs from Kimya Dawson and her collabrators. So be sure to check out on her songs if you had time.

Here's the trailer to Juno (which won the Oscar for Best Screen Play.)

F.I.R new M.V. 月牙湾 (Yue Ya Wan)





I was mildly disappointed with their previous Album and thinking maybe they lost the touch that put them up high in their debut album. Glad they got it back in this one.
(And for REAL, I didn't even to listen to Real's Solo Album. And yes. I didn't realised that they had a new album until last week.)

and let's put up a personal favorite at the same time... Our Love (我們的愛 Wo Men De Ai)





and yes that Kwai Lun-mei is the Girl in the MV. A sequel of some kind in the new song 需要你的愛 (Need your Love)?

Loving You to Mayonaka To Doa

Minnie Ripperton's Loving You MV

Loving You by Minnie Ripperton

Loving you
Is easy because you're beautiful....
Making love with you
Is all I want to do....
Loving you
Is more than just a dream come true....
And everything that I do
Is out of loving you....

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring....
Stay with me while we grow old....
And we will live each day in spring time....

Because loving you....
Has made my life so beautiful....
And every day of my life
Is filled with loving you....
Loving you....
I see your soul come shining through....
And everytime that we....
Oh I'm more in love with you....



I first heard somewhere in some drama before but it's finally South Park that made me went to listen to the song proper. The song featured in a gag about Stan's Uncle Jimbo rigging a bomb on the mascot of the Cowboys which Stan's Cows team are suppose to play against. When Richard Stamos hits the high F, the bomb will be triggered off killing the mascot. It's especially wicked finally when Richard Stamos didn't screw up on the high F. LoL. Btw it's in the episodes from Season 1 of South Park titled "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride"

Anyway Minnie Ripperton is amazing. The rest of her songs are worth checking. BtW, she passed away before I was born.




Here's a rendition of the same song by Jane Zhang Liang Yin, 3rd place winner of China's 1st and maybe last Idol style Singing Competition, on youtube. Here's a more polished rendition she sung in an award ceremony.

She's also sung the Opening Theme to China's version of the Return of Condor Heroes in which Liu Xifei played Xialong Nu.

To my bitter amusement, Liu Xifei sung ED theme to Powerpuff Gals Z.
Check this out. A full version with Xifei playing an escaped singer on her birthday.
And a fan's merging of the
ED sequence to her chinese edition of the same song

We're Going to Ibiza


We're Going to Ibiza by VENGABOYS

I don't wanna be a bus driver
All my life
I'm gonna pack my bags and leave this town
Grab a flight
Fly away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

I look up at the sky
And I see the clouds
I looked down at the ground
And I see the rainbow down the drain
Fly away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

*chorus start*
Whoah! We're going to Ibiza
Whoah! Back to the island
Whoah! We're going to Ibiza
Whoah! We're gonna have a party
Whoah! In the Mediterranean Sea

*chorus ends*

Far away from this big town
And the rain
It's really very nice to be
Home again
Fly Away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

chorus x 8

Whoah! We're going to Ibiza

(According to the version I am listening)
My interest about going to Ibiza starts from here.
Yes, I had no idea how to get there but mark my words,
I am going to Ibiza eventually!

California Dreaming


ARTIST: The Mamas and the Papas
TITLE: California Dreaming

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk ~ I've been for a walk
On a winter's day ~ On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm ~ I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A. ~ If I was in L.A.
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees ~ Got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray ~ I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold ~ Preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay ~ Knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk ~ I've been for a walk
On a winter's day ~ On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her ~ If I didn't tell her
I could leave today ~ I could leave today
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day


*I first heard the song on Chungking Express.Tony Leung's police constable character was ditched by his Air stewardess girlfriend.Oddly the shock either took out his brains or he was forgetful by nature (Actually he was too absorbed over his break-up).An odd admirer/trespasser of Faye Wong's character,took his keys to his apartment.She swop his stuffs,change the decorations and clear the mess.California Dreaming was what he thought was his/his ex's favourite song that was left in the cd player by Faye Wong.I love this film.It's strange and nice at the same time.A comedy that doesn't really draw a barrel of laughs.

Galaxy Song (From Monty Python's The Meaning of Life)

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
