Review: SeaStars 2007 (The Album)
Sunday, 30 December, 2007
This is a full review of Ivan & Adrian’s album collaboration “SeaStars 2007″, which they’ve been working on for the last few months. It’s almost finally completed now, and they’re busy collecting reviews of the album from their friends and acquaintances.
Now I’m a person who’s always open to listening to new kinds of music and [...]
Welcome To The Wonderful World Of Facebook!
Saturday, 29 December, 2007
So the big news in my life today is that I finally succumbed to temptation and joined Facebook this morning. (Probably shocked a few friends with my “add friend” invite.)
Gosh, I couldn’t even make it to the new year without yielding! How horrible of me.
However, I have my reasons for doing so.
‘Nuff said.

Music And Me
Friday, 28 December, 2007
This remains one of my favourite Michael Jackson songs, though I suspect not many people have heard of it before.
I probably wouldn’t have known about it had I not watched the “Moonwalker” video back when I was in Primary 4. There was a montage somewhere at the beginning of the movie, [...]

Christmas Rant
Tuesday, 25 December, 2007
I think it’s lamentable that many a times it’s so easy for us to lose track of the true meaning of Christmas.
To most of us, Christmas means one or more of the following:
- A time to show your loved ones how much they mean to you
- A time to make merry
- A time to reflect [...]
Christmastime (Jazz Version)
Sunday, 23 December, 2007
Here’s the straight (original) version of “Christmastime” (link).
…
Here’s a swinged-up version of “Christmastime” I just came us with.
Was just playing around with my KORG synthesizer as well as GarageBand (I’m a new Mac user), and decided to record a jazzed up version of “Christmastime” as my first recorded track on GarageBand.
I have to emphasize that [...]
The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan
Friday, 21 December, 2007
Man I’m so excited.
I recently popped by a CD shop and picked up the seminal Bob Dylan album “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”.
Can’t wait to listen through it and dissect it.
Just one folk singer, a simple acoustic guitar, an occasional harmonica solo, and a bagful of some of the greatest and most profound folk songs ever [...]
Highlights From The Songcraft Mini-Concert
Thursday, 20 December, 2007
Here are two of my favourite songs from last Saturday’s Songcraft mini-concert.
Roadtrip (Music & Lyrics by Marcel Lee Pereira)
Marcel has done it again. Yet another unbelievably catchy and well-crafted pop-rock song with great lyrics.
Marcel is really good at writing such high-quality songs suited a for pop-rock band setting, and his songwriting [...]
