I'm currently sampling Plus 44's new album,
When Your Heart Stops Beating. Go check it out if you want to hear something fresh. Given a choice between
Angels and Airwaves and
Plus 44, I would go for Plus 44. Reason being it's more catchier compared to
AVA's indie influenced songs. I'm comparing this two bands cause the lead singers from both bands happen to be from
Blink 182. The legendary punk rock band of the 90's. They have officially disbanded just in case you didn't know. But what ever it is, let's go back to Plus 44.
Two songs you've got to check out,
When Your Heart Stops Beating and
Baby Come on. Besides the fact that they've got one of the best punk rock/jazz drummers around (that's Travis Barker for you), the band's song is influenced by 80's synth rock and their forte, punk rock beats. If you want to get a feel of 80's rock, go check out
Nena's song
99 Luftballoons. If you don't know who Nena is, she's a German 80's new wave rock band singer. Err, just
Google her if you get lost. She's pretty significant during that era. I would have loved to link you up but then again, it would spoil the fun of surfing the net. In other words, I'm just lazy.
Music aside, question of the day...
How do people find friends with the same fashion taste?
What am I saying? I've been walking around town and I notice groups of people (regardless of race) with the same fashion taste! I understand about this 'concept' thing among youngsters but ain't it a little weird to be walking with say 5 people, and they all with the same fashion taste? Walking beside a friend who has the same tee shirt design is all weird, I can't imagine my friends with the same 'dress code'! I'll give you an example.
Kids who call themselves
emo. They have this very strict dress code. Small tee, straight cut jeans, old school
Converse shoes and not forgetting the classic 'emo hair' which is the fringe covering half the face. Ah, we forgot one thing, the thick eye liner. Wonder if they go to the same barber and share the same eye liner? Maybe they trade clothes after each outing so they don't have to get new sets! Anyone has any idea how they do it and how they actually form?
Hi, I'm emo. Are you? Great! Let's hang out together. Black? No problem!
I'm just curious cause I can't seem to find anyone with the same fashion sense with me. Oh yeah, the Mats (pronounced Mud and not Mad) under the block could be under my category but I change my 'concept' according to my mood. When ever I go out with the gang, we all have different definitions of 'coolness'. I think that's the thing that makes us 'special' in that sense. I could break it down for you. This is what I said to the gang.
Dan - The guy who's always wearing a tee, Bermuda shorts and never fails to put on a pair of slippers. Dresses up like as though he's going to the beach but owns a freaking good expensive camera! No wonder people would have never thought he is carrying a $3000 camera in his Lowepro bag!
Umar - The guy who puts on his Polo Tee, tucked into his jeans, showing off the belt's buckle with the baggy jeans and old school sneakers. That's pretty simple and it's his trademark. We always tease him by imitating his 'tuck the front shirt' fashion.
Zul - Easier. Baggy tee. Jeans and a pair of jean. The easiest of the lot and there's nothing more to add to it. And if he's not wearing a tee, he will be wearing a RP related Polo and it's hard to lie to someone that we are not from RP.
Apiz - Err, you can spot mi with my tapered or straight cut jeans. Rarity to see me with anything baggy. But I do have oversize shirts and pants in my closet. Small tee and that's it. People say typical Mat but I couldn't be bothered by remarks. I feel comfortable in them.
So, do you see my point? We all have different looks but we still '
sejiwa' together. No, we are not a boyband and we do keep our image as '
clean' as possible. So anyone has got any idea for this phenomenon that's hitting the streets of Singapore? If you do, mail me. Grr..
Okay, so that's the question. Now let me give you a scenario. I was looking at the
Friendster posts and this somehow triggered me to do this on my blog. Here's the scenario. Go and think about it and tell me if you have the chance to.
What do you do if both your ex lovers want to meet you on the same day? You know they both don't really fancy each other and you know that one of them still has the likes for you. What do you do? Do you...
1. Ditch both of them and give a really lame excuse. "My pet turtle died"2. Pick the one who is more prettier and tell the other to go home and meet another day.3. Commit suicide.4. Tell your friends to help you draw lots.5. Ask both of them, if they are willing to get laid and pick the one who is the least reluctant... Err.. now that sounded really wrong.6. Hope and pray that it's just a dream and when you open your eyes, you're on your bed.7. Screw this scenario cause it will never happen to you.8. (Let me think about it)9. Ask both of them to meet up and then ditch them last minute.10. Get both of them together and then act as if nothing happened and pray they are both talking about something in common and then screw yourself in the ass after the whole shit is done.So what will you choose? I don't know. It has never happened to me. I think. But I have ever bumped into my ex only to find out that the two girls standing in front of me are my ex girlfriends and I found out later that they were both really good friends. Oops. How the hell would I know?!
That's it. No more relationships for me! I need to be on hiatus. Eh no, wait! I've been on a freaking long break for too long! Grr...
