How do you select your profile photos? Do you have a list of prerequisites? Must always look down to cover your double chin, or to shoot from the top to look like a puppy?
For me, it’s my smile, or something wacky, depending on availability. I know that women tend to smile more often as men [...]
Some songs are unbearable and some are really good. My favorite from Kid Rock has got to be “Forever”. It’s a fucking awesome track to blast in your car while you blaze away to the sunset to forget the pressures of working life. Well, at least to me anyway. Haha!

Taken from their latest album, this is Bon Jovi’s second single after “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, a song that I never really embraced as opposed to this one. I like the music video because it’s refreshing, but I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed towards the end as it became a little cheesy. Although [...]
This is one of REM’s biggest gems. I have to admit I don’t listen to it as often as I do because I feel it’s depressing and the mood has to be right to match it. Haha! I was particularly interested in this song, to see how Simon Cowell roped in 21 different singers to [...]
Thanks to my music addiction, I am now officially a Nokia Music Explorer, one of the 50 explorers in Malaysia. With that, I was given a free Nokia X6 mobile phone and was asked to help to contribute to the Facebook page, recommending 2 songs per week (not compulsory). For a person like me, that [...]
Pitbull throws yet another freaking awesome beat that is bloody catchy. Janet Jackson lends her voice in the chorus didn’t do much to boost this already excellent melody, instead she complements it a little. It could’ve been any female artist in this song, because it really didn’t matter as Pitbull pummels home another blazer.

Of course, most of you have heard “Blaze of Glory” before, and thus, to further enlighten you on Jon Bon Jovi’s first solo effort as the band takes a breather, I have taken the liberty to compile what I feel are the best songs on the album. There’s an amazing cast of musicians who worked [...]
I think she was part of the American Idol setup, though I can’t really recall which season, and her name does not ring any bell whatsoever. Maybe she didn’t left an impact on me like the rest did. I checked out her latest album, “Without Regret” and there were a handful of decent tunes, in [...]
“It was fated”, or “It was his or her time” is bullshit. How do you know it was fated or it was time? Balls.
So, back to my question, how does one prepare for the eventual death of a loved one? I mean, is there such a thing? Would preparing for it make us live a [...]

I wonder if this image depicts the current generation who is spoiled by technology. Does this mean we do not have to worry about killing time waiting for death to arrive?
I sometimes wonder what would I do when I’m really really old waiting for my time? I do not let it bother me now though [...]

I never really rated AJ, because I just find he seems to be annoyingly cocky, that thorn among the Backstreet Boys. I always thought he doesn’t contribute much, but after hearing to his debut album, it looks like I’m proven wrong.
The song that stands out like there’s no tomorrow, is “Teenage Wildlife”, though its tone [...]

If you like laid-back R&B tracks but still good enough to pack some punch, then this one’s for you. I think Demarco’s track was certainly aided by the heart-pounding beat, which makes the final product sexy. However, I think its sexiness can wear off after some time.

This is some elements that made 60s love songs a big hit. Christina Milian re-uses that formula but does not overkill it. While she will find it difficult to upstage her big hit, “AM to PM”, this is a pretty cool song. I think this will go down well with the ladies.

I like 5 songs from the album, with 3 in particular. If you’re into pop-punk sounding music, than you might dig this one. These dudes are from Holland, which is a surprise because they sound like a cross between Fall Out Boy, Paramore and Simple Plan. Some of the tracks here are pretty aubade, nice [...]

Damn! I actually like this song, and I’m not a fan of the dramatic Enrique! I like being surprised with tunes like this and it is very welcoming as opposed to his previous work that he has spewed to the music world. Although this song is not gonna blaze any charts, but it’s certainly has [...]

What a odd track lyrics-wise, despite the really nice tune. “Ice in my veins” – clearly he’s not singing about H20. I think you drug addicts especially the ones at Zouk KL will be able to relate this track and have an emotional meltdown. Please don’t be an idiot and succumb to drugs. You may [...]

I think Bob Sinclar is a good producer or mixer or whatever you wanna call him. This looks to be another catchy music with Shaggy and Sahara on board. However, I feel the chorus could’ve been a little better as it could not overthrow the addictiveness of the track which surely isn’t something distrait.

This is a result when Hindi versions is infused with reggaeton, thus giving it a much cooler sound that Hindi songs overall. I think when it comes to Hindi music, the beat has to be really pounding, else I always end up envisioning Banglas and Pakistanis (the ones who hold hands in public) and it [...]
