The Magic Position

I found this video by accident...It's so retro and laced with weirdness, the epitome of 80's pop culture, but apparently, it fairly new.
Dad used to send me/us videos of mostly 80's music...haven't been receiving any of late...
But...this is the closet i could get to 80's retro without actually digging into the 80's...think a younger David Bowie...

Through the Roof n Underground

Here's a flick that you should definitely check out ASAP...go to your nearest Blockbuster or equivalent and rent it over the weekend and chill with some mates over soda and popcorn.
I know......I should be studying for my exam...but every needs a break from time to time.
Anyway...trailer says it all...so I'm not going to give a synopsis...also, check out the theme song...it's wicked.

Tribute to My First Band

AAAahhhhhhhh.....there's nothing like the sweet memories of busting a tune with your first band. It's like your first crush...doesn't last long, but you'll remember it for a very long time...probably the rest of your life...
I remember those times...when me and the band was so young and ambitious...we really thought we could conquer the world with our music...and that we could play anything...well at least I did...I thought there was no tune I could not conquer...
Anyway, the first band I was in was a trio...It featured Sam on the drums, Serene on the keyboards and me on the guitars. I was 13 at the time...and just started learning the guitar...and just like person who's just introduced to an instrument, I went through that awkward period trying to coordinate my hands...I practiced till me fingers were bruised...but when I finally got it, boy did i felt good.
Sam too just learned the drums and had some difficulty getting the timing and rhythm right...but he got it eventually, and Serene...well, she was the veteran in the team.
And...when we finally mastered our first song...we played it in front of our first audience...Mom and Dad...I think we blew them away...anyway here's a youtube video of the original song...



Speaking of bands...here's my new favorite one...you have to turn up the amplitude to bust this one out...
