decided to share some of my musings and parts of my life no one SHOULD know .
Music .
i survive on food, sleep, painkillers and music .
some people need the latest in gadgets or fashions; i need the latest in music .
and that would be the radio, more specifically 987fm .
i started out with crappy cds from SIA which was all my house had since the huge-ass 80s era radio wasnt working .
when i got my first radio, all i listened to was techno .
yes, techno .
still have a few cds from those days .
i hate techno now though so if you want them, drop me a message .
so naturally, the station that i listened to was WKRZ or something .
moved on to classical music .
started out as a way to get me to sleep and i got hooked on it eventually .
so that would be like symphony 92fm? like everyday .
and then, i got hooked on Power 98fm as most of my classmates in lower sec listened to that station .
still remember how we would blast the class's radio and dance and sing to hits like Stacy's Mum, 1985 and Vindicated .
it was around this time i discovered 987fm but i didnt really like it then cause they were too R&B for my taste .
flirted with jay chou's music for a while as most of the "in" clique in upper sec are chinese influenced .
and i'm more open to indie bands now, with people like mai and stephanie etc .
but currently, i'm back to 987fm and had been with it for 3 years now .
and i must say, after being exposed to R&B and hip hop for so long, i getting attracted to it .
i mean, songs like Cookie Jar and A Milli would repulse my pure rock self previously but i'm getting way hooked on songs like these now .
my favourite radio DJs used to be the Muttons, but now it is definately Shan and Rozz from 4 to 8 .
which is understandable considering my hour plus bus journey home everyday is around that time .
and in the mornings, being stuck in the MRT, i cant really grow attached to the AM MAYHEM .
so this is a quite detailed history of my music preferences and history hahah .
now having get past that, i can safely say that any music genre is fine with me .
it doesnt even have to make sense or really in line with my beliefs but songs with great beats? Swallowed hook, line and sinker .
and since i'm really bored, i'm going to list a few songs which i'm hooked on so so badly now, and am shamelessly appealing for anyone with the songs or who can download them to help me with my addiction . [i'd even make it easier for you to copy and paste !]
1. Time of My Life - David Cook
ok, i like this song cause of its meaning{s?} and because it is one of the few songs i can sing by heart and on tune hahah .
2. Crush - David Archuleta
i have no idea why i like this song, just do .
3. Thunder - Boys like Girls
everyone needs some emo songs now and then .
4. The Man Who Cant Be Moved - The Script
very, very meaningful. although i think what the guy did is romantic, but a bloody waste of time hahah .
5. Pork and Beans - Weezer
hahah, one of those songs with no meaning, but i'm hooked after watching the video for it, and trust me, unless you're a hardcore youtuber, you cant really connect with the video . [which i can cause i am, sadly.]
6. A Milli - Lil Wayne
i dont like him. BUT THE BLOODLY BEAT IS STUCK IN MY HEAD !
7. Burnin' Up - Jonas Brothers
the only song i liked from them, the rest are too teenybopper-psuedorocker-wannabeemo-er for me .
8. So What - Pink
urgh, another artiste i hate, but i'm so stuck on the beat .
9. Walking On Air - Kerli
apparently, she is so unknown that this song is being given out for free on iTunes . like it for that creepy voice and beat . reminds me instantly of Emily the Strange .
10. Whatever You Like - T.I
never heard of him, but after hearing the song and watching the video on youtube, i'm hooked. particulary by his wavy hand movement when he says "Whatever you like..." which i cant do ...
11. I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry
banned in Singapore for obvious reasons, and one of those songs that are not what i would support, but i'm so stuck on the beat .
12. Hot N' Cold - Katy Perry
my latest addiction, blasting it nonstop since i got home via youtube . plus the lyrics describes people i know ...
and lastly, i have this song but nobody knows it and it is a great pity cause not only is it unique, it makes so much sense, about how humans are capable of things like riding bikes without handlebars to despotic actions like missiles and holocausts .
