:: Running to the Edge of the World ::

:: Silent Hill ::

I'm taking a break from photography and in some sense slowing down my uploads on my Flickr account and also on updating my blog. Reason? Coz I'm in the process of writing. Yes. Writing. So, don't worry much people coz I will be updating when I have the time and I will be uploading more photos (coz i have them just that it's not edited yet). June and July will be busy and any updates (if I'm allowed to say it) would be done here coz I'm Wan, the WanLeaks dude. Here's a little sneak peak on what I'm writing...

"And I will, push you in the fire
Just to save you
Yes I will, push you in the fire
Just to save me from you"

July is going to be freaking awesome!

:: Being in a band ::

This 2 videos below are literally the 2 videos that got me wanting to be in a band, wanting really really bad to write my own songs and play it. That was back in 2002 (i think). Close to 9 years on, the passion is still alive and strong. Soon i guess.... Can't wait for July!!!

:: WanLeaks ::

I'm gonna be murdered for doing this. But I really think this song is good. So I'm leaking it over here. Click on the video to see her channel page.

Ps - I'm the dude playing the guitar for this on my new VOX! Mini Fuck Yeah!

:: Exeunt/Prologue ::

A little sparks before the fireworks comes.

:: Red October ::

Something exciting happening this October. Wait for it. In the mean time, here's something cool I took.

:: 3 more days to go ::

3 more days before I can get my hands on the new Lunarin album. Can't wait! This will do for now.

:: Alot of awesome news ::

Lunarin is going to be releasing their new album "Duae" very very soon. Why is this exciting news? Only because I've been listening to them ever since I was in secondary school. Getting to meet them a few months back was totally leuwau and I've been waiting, and i really mean waiting, for this album to be out. Below is a trailer video by them and also an email that they post to everyone in their mailing list.



"Dearest Friend

By now we are sure you would have forgotten the earlier message we had sent you in May. No matter. That's why we are sending you this message now – to remind you that our new album will be released this month on 20 August 2010. Although we did not end that last sentence with an exclamation mark, we are in truth very excited. We are so excited that we are sending you this message in our underwear, with the telly on and the kettle boiling over but we don't care. We are so excited that our bassplayer has upped the stakes and declared that she is sexcited. This is how excited / sexcited we are.

Have you ever received an email out of the blue from a old schoolmate that you haven't seen for 12 years but is suddenly spamming your inbox with blurry iPhone photos of his newborn son, sharing with you poignant quotes about how his life has changed? If you have, fret not, this message will not be as painful as that one. If you haven't, well, we are like that friend, except we will not be showing you pictures of bloodied newborns screaming their heads off. We love you this much. :)

To understand why we are so excited, please go to the newly revamped www.lunarin.com now (giggles). We won't spoil the surprise for you. Go click the link and find out for yourself.

But that's not the only reason for our excitement (sexcitement). You see, we have a present for you. We are going to give away our new single “Zero Point Red” for free at www.lunarin.bandcamp.com Yes, free. There is no mistake. Just because some of us are lawyers doesnt mean we will rip you off. We love you too much to do that. And besides, we love music more than the law.

“Is that all?” you may ask. Why no. We are excited about many other things too.

First up, we are playing a show with our friends Simon Yong and In Each Hand a Cutlass at Home Club on Friday 13 August 2010. Show starts at 8pm and the cover charge is $15, inclusive of one drink. If you wish to pre-order a copy of our new album and get it before the official release date of 20 August 2010, simply drop us an email at lunarintheoracle@gmail.com and we will set aside a copy of the CD and a tiny free gift for you so that you can collect it at Home Club on the night of the gig. Just go up to the merchandise booth and announce that you have made a pre-order (saying the word sexcited will help) and the extremely good looking gentlemen at the merchandise booth will pass you a copy of the album at a special discounted price. You see, being a member of the Inner Circle has its privileges :)

More importantly, tickets for “DUAE: SHOW NUMBER II” is finally on sale now at the Artshouse Box Office and at https://www.bytes.sg/EventDetails.aspx?EventID=110 Tickets are on sale at $12 (exclusive of $2 handling fee). Considering our last album launch was on 7 January 2006 at the Substation, we can assure you that we have 4 years' worth of pent up energy, ideas and songs to make it a night worth remembering. Do come and spend 1 October 2010 with us. We promise we won't bite. Only the music will.

So that's it. This will likely be our last message to you in this format because we do not wish to spam people. However, if you head on down to www.facebook.com/lunarintheband or www.twitter.com/lunarin you can receive updates of what we are doing. You can even drop us a little message here and there to stay in touch. We do reply!

Thanks so much for your patience. We hope to see you soon.


With everlasting love,

Linda, Kah Wye & Eng Teck"

There you go. Am I going for the party. YES! Am I pre-ordering their CD? You bet your ass I'm going too! August is going to be GREAT! BOOYAH buttocks! Yes, I'm that hyped up now. Speaking of which, a new label for my blog is coming up very very soon. Over 2 weeks, I've gathered some info on the "IKWYDK" game and its coming. Yes baby.... its coming real soon. And that ccMixter thing. Oh yes. That one is coming too.

:: Descendents - I'm the one ::

:: Simple Man ::

Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover) - Shinedown

:: Cool Video ::

Coolest music video ever. See....you dont need that much cash for a video, just a cool idea and alot of balls

:: Old school arcade games ::

Cool cool cool video by seether.

:: A sad sad day for Singapore Grunge Scene ::

Muddybanks and Streetsites are on hiatus. Major blow for the already small grunge scene.

::Looks like Britney has competition::

Looks like Ms Britney Spears has some serious competition in terms of school girl dresses. This girl looks hot in her school girl attire and boy can she sing better than Britney Spears. Check her video here.

::Good Poetry::

Here's a good poetry piece that i'll like to share it with everyone. Click here for it.

The title for the upcoming Oligarchy ep will tentatively be, "Reading Between The Lines". It's going to be a 4 track (or maybe more) acoustic album which is a new thing for everyone. Its 80% done with 3 confirm mixed tracks. But knowing me i'll probably end up remixing those. (Perfectionist in me is really driving me nuts!) I might be putting up some rough demo on my myspace page or Oligarchy's myspace page, depending on where it gos first. There are some songs where vocals needs to be redone or redoing other things....as of now...even i'm not too sure. Updates will be known in the near future.

B.t.w, I'm currently listening to Celine Dion.

::I love this song soooooo much::

I grew up listening to this song. And i found a video of it on youtube which surprisingly is hard.

Watch it here

Everytime i hear this song, it brings a warm feeling in my heart. Well, maybe i should cover this song. Ironically, the singer looks like my gfs' brother. Which makes me really laugh deep in my warm feeling

::Careless Whisper::

Seether just did a cover of "careless whisper". Check out the video here although thesong won't be up until 27th January. But the song is here!!!

Watch it here!

Hear it here!
