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 [...]

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.
Sarah Jessica Parker = Unsexy?
Friday, 21 March, 2008
I read in today’s newspapers that Sarah Jessica Parker was recently voted by Maxim magazine as the “unsexiest woman alive”, together with Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna and Britney Spears.
What shocked me more was the excerpt from Maxim magazine, which I felt was extremely caustic:
“How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to [...]
Nice Moments From “The Leap Years”
Thursday, 20 March, 2008
Ok, let’s talk a little bit more about “The Leap Years”.
As I mentioned in my review below, there were a number of lines in the movie which I really liked, which I felt were memorable. (Let’s exclude all those famous quotes which they kept flashing on the Chinese calendars in between chapters…)
But sadly, in the end I [...]
“We Are The World” By The Japanese
Wednesday, 12 March, 2008
You’ve got to be familiar with the original “We Are The World” video to fully appreciate how absolutely hilarious this Japanese version is.
They’ve got every singer’s nuance and idiosyncrasy down pat.
Couldn’t stop laughing!
I personally loved the “Stevie Wonder” the best. (”Bruce Springsteen” was awesome too.)
American Gangster
Friday, 25 January, 2008
How good was “American Gangster”?
Well…let’s just say that I didn’t want the movie to end. ‘Nuff said.
I enjoyed all 157 minutes of it. Every single minute.
It’s definitely one of the best movies I’ve watched in a long time. I would definitely like to get hold of the DVD when it comes out.
Denzel Washington had a huge part to play [...]
Across The Universe (Movie Review)
Tuesday, 15 January, 2008
Listen, do you want to know a secret?
Here’s what I want to tell you…
“Across The Universe” the song is, in my opinion, one of Lennon’s greatest compositions. Ever.
“Across The Universe” the movie is, in my opinion, one of the worst movies I’ve watched recently. Or maybe in my life.
Before the movie, I was thinking “don’t [...]
Victor Definitely Paid Attention During Probability Lessons
Sunday, 28 October, 2007
A snippet of an interview with Victor Tang, taken from page 10 of the latest 8 Days magazine:
(This was conducted just before the grand final of “Live The Dream” between Victor and Fendi.)
Q: What do you think are your chances of winning?
A: Right now, about 50-50, because it’s the two of us.
Band Performance
Friday, 19 October, 2007
Our band plays tomorrow at Ben & Jerry’s at The Cathay.
New name, new members (well, some), new songs.
(As always, don’t ask me how the name came about. It just is.)
Is The Dream Still Alive?
Wednesday, 19 September, 2007
So has anyone been following “Live The Dream”? Y’know, the what-I-would-call ”Singapore Idol for Older People” talent contest?
As I said before, “Live The Dream” is basically a clone of the “Idol” franchise, just that they avoided paying the franchise fees by giving it a new name and by opening the contest to more mature contestants. Everything [...]
