Gomen the nasai for the long long hiatus! (/_ _)/ Exams and assignments finally over, so ya I now have time to update the rotation more often. ^^VArtist: Stone Temple PilotsTitle: Interstate Love Song (live acoustic version)Description: Scott Weiland is love. <3 More so in this toned down acoustic number... just listen to him croon as though begging to be taken home and be done things to. >____< And we all love our interstate love song oh yes we do.<<download>>Artist: Rachael YamagataTitle: I Wish You LoveDescription: Taken off the Prime soundtrack - tis featured during the end credits of the movie. I loved everything about the movie, and have been at wits end searching everywhere for this song, before finally finding it on Ares. (/^ ^)/ Anyway here's to jazzy goodness - Yamagata's slightly husky voice gives this oldie a surreal, chill-out ambience.... not unlike a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee by the fireplace, on a cold and wet winter morn in NYC.<<download>>Artist: StereophonicsTitle: Maybe TomorrowDescription: Melancholic love that is Kelly Jones and his boys. I got this off the Wicker Park OST (which btw is one hell of a wicked soundtrack, if indie/britrock is your sorta thing). And.... what else to say about it? It's Stereophonics, people. Listen and learn to appreciate, if you haven't already. <<download>>Artist: New RadicalsTitle: Someday We'll KnowDescription: Some old school goodness. Because I feel the need for labu-labu songs that don't grind on my nerves. I think tis one of the better love anthems in the last decade... given that it's been recycled over and over again (Mandy and Jon Foreman, yes?) for every rom-com/sob-fest movies.<<download>>Artist: Gwen StefaniTitle: Wind it UpDescription: Latest single from her upcoming album, The Sweet Escape (due for release in the US on Dec 5th). I reckon it's gonna be a 100% commercial sell-out - catchy beats, sampling from the goatherd song from Sound of Music ("one little girl with a pale pink coat, lay ooo la lay ooo la lay hee hoo"). And the Gwen stamp on it, of course. <<download>>Artist: The KillersTitle: BonesDescription: OMG YOU HAVE TO SEE THE VID FOR THIS! >________< A Tim Burton piece, so you can be sure of all the boney goodness from the man who sealed the legacy of Jack Skellington. :D And the melody for this song is really really nice - verse is everything Killers you can expect; but the chorus is so singalong it makes me wanna cry. T___T That's saying it's a good thing btw. A must-download in this week's rotation.<<download>>Artist: IncubusTitle: Oil and WaterDescription: Also from their latest album, fresh off the racks, the newly-released 'Light Grenades'. ^^ I sound like a tv commercial why.<<download>>Artist: Mig AyesaTitle: Baby I Love Your Way (ori artist: Peter Frampton)Description: 2nd runner up for Rock Star: INXS - I never quite knew how he sounded like, cos I've only had songs and vids of Marty Casey and him alone. (- -") So yeah, during some random searches for mp3s I came across this dood, and his encore-worthy performance of this classic 80s number. It touches my heart and makes me wanna tear~ *crystal tears rolls down cheeks* Piano, strings and Mig-with-emotions-aplenty.<<download>>Artist: Andrea Bocelli & Katharine McPheeTitle: Can't Help Falling In LoveDescription: Arguably, no one beats The King when singing this one - but... it's not too bad. I supposed. But I'd say that Bocelli's voice is too powerful and that it overshadows Kat's vocals. It's kinda like, trying to mix vinyl and digital music together - interesting, but not particularly groundbreaking awesome.<<download>>Artist: Brittany MurphyTItle: Somebody to Love (ori artist: Queen)Description: HAPPY FEET! HAPPY FEET! HAPPY FEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! Although I wonder if Fred Mercury would be rolling in his grave if known that his song has been turned into a heart song for.... penguins. Singing, animated ones.<<download>>Artist: Jay ChouTitle: Ju Hua TaiDescription: I love this song to bits, even though I have no idea what is he singing about. T.T Because the melody is simply so beautiful; and you don't need any comprehension of lyrics to fall in love with the oriental charms that makes this number. >___< Jay might have just outdone his previous efforts of traditional Chinese samplings. <<download>>Artist: unknownTitle: Treasured Love (Into Thin Air piano theme)Description: If you have watched the TVB drama, Into Thin Air, this is the song played by that blind pianist whose Mum died and donated her cornea to him to restore his eyesight - the mum whom he never forgiven his whole life cos he thought she abandoned him and caused him to go blind, but actually she stayed by his side the whole time as an anonymous pen-pal, knowing that he hates her. DAMN SAD K??! I cried like fuck during the episode where he finally forgave his mum but it was too late cos she's already passed on. *sobs uncontrollably* <<download>>Artist: Jolin TsaiTitle: Wo Yao De Xuan ZeDescription: As requested by cupcake. Thanks for visiting. :) But yeah anyway I had wanted to post this up sometime soon - here you go. I need more good chinese songs, am rather deprived of them lately. =.= Feel free to spread the love to my mailbox thankiews.<<download>>Artist: Dong Bang Shin KiTitle: In Sa (Greeting)Description: From Korean sob-fest 'Millionaire's First Love'. I haven't seen the movie, but reading the summary at the back cover of the DVD was bad enough. = =Unless I wanna walk around with no eyes (because my naturally already-small eyes will swell and therefore disappear) for two days - dowan. Nice song though, I wouldn't thought I'll listen to DBSK - after all the mockings to their Chinese name. ><<<download>>Artist: HydeTitle: CountdownDescription: Grunge lives, yeah. |m/ I've had this song forever, but have only rediscovered it recently, hm.<<download>>Artist: AcidmanTitle: Ima Toumei Ka (album version)Description: I've raved on plenty of times about how much I love the guy's voice right, yes? Sigh, why the split up. T.T Such a waste for such a good band. Ditto to STP. Ditto to Baroque. Ditto to................ hm well I was going to say Nirvana, but I supposed since Cobain pulled the trigger.... =/<<download>>Artist: Art-SchoolTitle: EvilDescription: Heavier than their usual stuff, but super catchy eitherhoo. Especially the riffs and rhythm for the verses.<<download>>Artist: TakuiTitle: Calling YouDescription: For old times' sake. :) Haven't listened to this for a while, so thought I'll put it up for a bit.... for those of you who missed it the first round. Tis like one of my all-time fav jrock ballad, and it brings back so much memories just hearing it again. <<download>>Artist: Bonnie PinkTitle: Manatsu no KajitsuDescription: Fans of old cantopop songs would recognize this tune. ^^ I love both this and the Cantonese version - cos duets score by my books anytime. Especially male-female-harmonizing sort. And it's acoustic!<<download>> **** m i s c e l l a n e o u s ****
Artist: Rudy and JJ (Hitz.fm Morning Crew)Title: We're Not So FuriousDescription: A local parody of Teriyaki Boyz' Tokyo Drift anthem. >____< Will only be hilarious if you understand the Malaysian lingo, ahohoho! Heck I think if you're Malaysian, living in Msia, you would have heard this at least once. But ah well. <<download>>
