So guitar legend Joe Satriani has decided to sue Coldplay for plagiarizing his song “If I Could Fly”.
The Coldplay song in question is “Vida La Vida”, which is one of their biggest current hits.
Opinion is largely split on whether “Vida La Vida” sounds suspiciously close to “If I Could Fly” or [...]

Support Local Music…Why?
Tuesday, 29 July, 2008
I’ve never really been very comfortable whenever I see people exhorting others to “support local music!”
Now don’t get me wrong…those who know me will know that it is my sincere desire that local music flourishes and we would all one day be able to truly celebrate music made in Singapore.
However, I always get a little [...]
Power Jam 2008 = Out
Saturday, 28 June, 2008
Thanks to those who asked. And also thanks to those who were there this afternoon.
Anyway, our band didn’t make it to the grand finals of Power Jam 2008.
I guess we gave it a good shot. The bands this year were extremely talented, and the competition was extremely fierce.
I’m just glad we gave it a good [...]
Power Jam 2008
Wednesday, 25 June, 2008
Last Saturday, my band took part in the Power Jam 2008 auditions at Timbre (Substation). Power Jam is an annual band competition organised by Power 98 FM, and is touted as Singapore’s ultimate band competition.
There were a total of around 70+ bands that went for the auditions. Each band was only given exactly 2 minutes [...]
The Great Spy Experiment @ Esplanade Recital Studio
Monday, 28 April, 2008
So I caught The Great Spy Experiment at the Esplanade Recital Studio last Friday night.
Bought the ticket on a whim, actually…on that evening itself, less than three hours before the gig. It was probably the last ticket available.
I’ve always wanted to check out The Great Spy Experiment, cos I’ve heard a lot about them. They’re [...]
“Nothing Lasts Forever” by Maroon 5
Saturday, 29 March, 2008
This is an AWESOME song that is starting to grow on me, from their latest album.
Maroon 5 played it at the concert earlier this week and it totally rocked.
It’s the ultimate “it-hurts-us-both-but-we-have-no-choice-but-to-part” kind of song.
Great stuff.
Maroon 5 writes great songs.
Maroon 5 - Live In Concert!
Tuesday, 25 March, 2008
The Maroon 5 concert was everything everyone hoped for it to be.
Great songs, great performance, great sound, great set-list, great rapport, great everything.
The concert duration was slightly short, but apart from that everything else was just spot on.
I wished they’d played “Must Get Out” though.
This Love Has Taken Its Toll On Me!

Wooohooo!!!
Maroon 5, here I come!!!
You will be loved.
A Nice Christmas Song By The Pretenders
Tuesday, 20 November, 2007
I recently had a discussion with a musical friend on whether there is such a thing as a “Christmasy melody”.
As in, when you look at Christmas songs and carols, they tend to have this “Christmasy” feel about them, don’t they? And how do you exactly describe this feel? Is it just the lyrics which give [...]
Nice Maroon 5 Song
Wednesday, 31 October, 2007
Chanced upon this song on Channel 20 (MTV) recently, and I thought it sounded pretty interesting. Seems like they’re playing this song quite frequently on MTV nowadays.
Y’know, it’s one of those songs which you listen for the first time and go “Hmm, I’ve got a feeling this will grow on me.”
And [...]
