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 [...]

Enrique has this annoying style of delivering his songs in an over-dramatic fashion. That dude’s a walking melodrama! I’m not particularly a huge fan of him. This is his next song and it sounds acceptable but it doesn’t have any staying power whatsoever, perfect for our lame radio stations to gobble it up fairly quickly.

The last time Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland got together, they released a kickass hit called “4 Minutes”, one of my favorite tracks of 2008. Now the trio returns with a new song, “Across the Sky”. Although it’s not as ass-kicking as “4 Minutes”, it’s still a very decent track, and it’s a nice complement [...]

Taylor Swift, I loved her the minute I heard her song, “Teardrops on My Guitar“, which I blogged on 16th May 2007, long before she became famous. It still remains as my favorite song from her. However, I can’t really find any fault with her, as her songs are very idealistic, and much [...]

This is conclusive proof. Very conclusive.
Now this explains the slowness of world countries and their leaders of men getting their act together to stop global warming.

Thanks to Nokia’s OVI store, which I now get to download as many songs as I want for FREE for the whole year. Yes, I am one of the 50 people in Malaysia to be a part of the Nokia Music Explorers, and I was given a free Nokia X6 in the process!
This is one [...]

The chorus of the song samples Enya’s Orinoco Flow, and that might not be such a bad thing. Iyaz’s previous song that I blogged about was sampled after Janet Jackson’s Again. I think the selections for sampling is a very interesting choice and despite the success of the original tracks, I never expect someone would [...]

This is a more danced-up version compared to the original. I listened to Junior Caldera’s latest album, and I would highly recommend it to you dance lovers, because it’s filled with pumped up beats. The reason I chose this track from the rest, simply because I like the original and Junior Caldera, in my opinion, [...]

The lead singer sounds very similar to Daughtry, and I’m not sure if that’s a compliment. Haha! Anyway, they managed to pull off a decent rock ballad, though some parts sounds a little formulaic. However, it’s good enough to please you rockers.

While the chorus is not as exciting, the fact that Will-I-Am produced this song and made the beat really catchy makes it a worthwhile song to have in your playlist. I’m not a fan of Usher as I think he’s overrated, just like many of the other artistes today. I only feel that is his [...]
