Little by Little

For the last couple of weeks I've been listening intensively to my Oasis CDs in anticipation of the upcoming Oasis gig. Albums, singles, boxsets, A-sides, B-sides, you name it ;)

I pulled out my entire Oasis CD collection (totalling 83 on my last count) in an attempt to listen to them all before the gig, which is a mountain of a task. I reckon I'll probably OD on their songs way before I get to the halfway mark

Droolworthy MV

The first video I was looking forward to watching on the MV DVD was 後青春期的詩 (that and 噢買尬 being my favourite songs from the album).

What came as a surprise for me on the MV DVD was the MV for 我心中尚未崩壞的地方. I wasn't particularly fond of that song but I love the MV to bits! It's a very simple MV with washed out colour, a sharp contrast from most of the other MVs in vibrant colour which had MV actors with (sometimes rather confusing) subplots.

is that a Stay Real tee?

i hate my t shirt!

i hate my t shirt so much i'm gonna eat it

Oooo Monster looking good in a wifebeater

Whatever

In my previous post on Oasis I mentioned that I hoped that Noel will sing 'Whatever' at the upcoming Singapore concert on 5 April 2009. I came across this video on YouTube today recorded at Sapporo, Japan last week of Noel singing an acoustic rendition of Whatever !!! OMG OMG!!!!! If he doesn't sing it in Singapore this Sunday I'm so gonna cry LOL

I'm free to be whatever I choose and I'll sing the blues if I want

I didn't manage to find the setlist for the Japan gigs but there were vids from the Japan sets of Noel singing Don't Look Back In Anger, The Masterplan and Waiting For The Rapture in YouTube. Ooooooo I can't wait for Sunday night! ;)

In The Sky of 10000 You & Mayday

After what felt like a rather long wait, my Mayday 100000人。出頭天DVD finally arrived in the mail. It was mailed out 3 days after its release in Taiwan! *grumble grumble*

The pre-order comes with a free poster. It's a double sided poster with a horizontal and vertical side. I like the horizontal side better but it won't be gracing my bedroom wall, though it might be a nice addition to my office room.

Can anyone make any sense of the tagline "Before 1998, After 2008 Our changed and unchanged"?

you can't see it here but the concert DVD has a hologram cover. Nice!

Globetrotting Oasis

Tonight Oasis are playing Osaka, kicking off their Asian tour which will also take them to Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore before crossing the continent to South Africa for shows in Johannesburg and Cape Town (had no idea they were popular in S. Africa!). After the African gigs the lads will head to South America for a couple more gigs before returning to England and Europe in early June for their summer UK stadium supergigs and European summer festivals.

That is one hecka comprehensive world tour - covering 4 different continents in a period of over just 3 months!

Looking forward to watching them live in Singapore next Saturday! There are a few dozen songs I'd love to hear them sing - mostly songs from their first 2 albums together with all the b-sides. I really hope Noel will sing 'Whatever' (he did mention in his blog that they recently played that song for the first time in 12 years)

JJ 1 for 1 ticket offer

I received an offer in my mailbox yesterday for a 1 for 1 JJ Lin concert ticket. It's a pretty darn good deal as it works out to a 50% discount, a considerable amount off for a concert ticket.

The organiser must be desperate to sell off whatever unsold tickets as the concert is approaching this Saturday..

SG encore gig

Barely a week after the announcement of a brand new 2009 D.N.A world tour and the kick off of the tour in HK on 20 May, another date has been added for the upcoming August concert in Singapore. Due to overwhelming response during pre-order for the concert last December, as much as 90% of the tickets had been snapped up after a week of pre-order! An encore concert date is now scheduled for 28 August 2009. Unlike the previous pre-order, there is no 10% discount for early birds :(

Music-Man ticket

I picked up Leehom's Music-Man concert ticket yesterday when I was at Sungei Wang. Decided to get the cheapest RM88 ticket in light of the current economic recession :P LOL I'm just kidding, the ticket is actually for my Indonesian friend from Medan who'll be in town for the concert in May.

Wonder how well tickets are selling.. Business at the ticket booth yesterday was really slow and I didn't see a single customer..

Pretty Green

whoa the logo is so psychedelic

Oasis' Liam Gallagher has just launched his own fashion label called Pretty Green, named after a song by The Jam. Umm.. sounds like a ladies' clothing line :P Well, Liam has always been the fashionable one in the band (though Noel was the one nominated for this year's Brat Awards for Best Dressed Male..)

No designs have been unveiled yet as the official launch is in June. The website states that "Pretty Green is an up-front, straight talking, classic clothing range owned, founded and designed by Liam Gallagher. The Pretty Green team is made up of key industry professionals. The clothing range, which is entirely 'limited edition', will include classic designs across footwear, denim, jackets, trench coats, parkas, t-shirts, knitwear, hats, scarves and accessories; all subject to Liam's final approval. It looks like Pretty Green's clothing won't be designed by Liam (thank goodness LOL).

I wonder if the rest of the band will be decked out in Pretty Green outfit come June. In an interview, Liam joked at his Oasis bandmates would only get to wear the clothes "if they get their hands in their pockets". Hahaha!

"Clothes and music are my passion. I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not
doing it for the money either. I'm doing it cuz there's a lack of stuff out
there of the things I would wear" Liam Gallagher 2009

check out those sideburns!

D.N.A world tour

Mayday have just announced a brand new world tour - DNA五月天創造演唱會. This is their 3rd tour in a short span of 2 years, after 2007's JUMP! tour and 2008's Down To Earth - are the guys permanently on tour?!

D.N.A world tour will kick off on 20 & 21 May 2009 in Hong Kong at the Coliseum. Looks like another trip to HK is in order :)
