campur charts goes on a tour

 if u’ve been to laundry @ the curve b4, u would probably know that fly.fm has their local music scene show, campur chart goes live there almost once a week. its a pretty sweet place to survey the local music scene whether it be rock, hip hop, brit rock or watever. basically any band on the chart will eventually play at this live show. well, seeing that this fixed venue has benefited the folks of klang valley, now comes a new take to it.

yes. now they’re touring. haha. and i’ll b going with them. yes i know, u dont see oneted on this poster. neither is there beat the system. well, that’s because i’m going as army of three’s official roadie! haha, yeah. u know the guy who goes on stage b4 the stars go up there to play. yeah tats me. heh, thought it would b a good experience. and i would b able to mingle with acts like love me butch and the otherside orchestra. so its all good. if u’re around the area. pls come. mmu ppl. u’re on holiday. pls come =]

who knows. army of three might play some of their new tracks =\

negaraku malaysia

we all have heard tat the winners are those who write history. they’re always the heroes. their oppositions are always the enemies. they’re always good. even when they’re bad, they’re bad for a good reason. after watching these videos, it all feels so much more real to me. i bet 99% of u nvr knew that this happened in our beloved country’s history.

and i guess it still happens til this day. malaysia oh malaysia. when will you learn? how can a govt have such a grip on censoring the opposition til this very day? well. i guess it happens in 3rd world countries. but i thought they said we were 1st world? is this how 1st world countries run elections? whats the point of asking us to make our stand through the ballot box, when u censor all their campaigns and efforts to convey their msg? whats the point of applying for a permit of gathering, when d police only give it to the govt?

most interestingly noted in this:

1. anwar handles the police properly
2. his supporters respect him bcoz he respects the police
3. he needs to wait 5 working days to get a permit, whereas certain priviledged ppl only wait 5 minutes.
4. the police are stopping the gathering in fear of fighting <- this has got to be the best one yet

and now they’re trying to get the internet user’s votes. they even have their own campaigning website now. with testimonials. wonder how much they got paid.

only one choice? alright then. opposition it is. thx for campaigning freely for them =]

malaysia & gigs

i guess nobody made their way to support me at 1cafe kl. well. neither did i. yes another gig canceled. d 1st 2 gigs in the yr have been last minute postphoned (paul’s place) and postphoned indefinitely (1 cafe).

this got me feeling. are these organisers taking advantage of us? and i guess they are.

they know that there isn’t make places around that organises gigs. they ALSO know that we as indie bands with hopes of a bigger brighter future for our band, are willing to play for free most of the time.

BUT IS IT SO HARD TO APPRECIATE WHAT WE DO?!?!?!!?!?!?!

i mean. dahlah u not paying us. we have to go jamming at least 6hrs b4 a gig. tats approx rm150 in a std studio. plus the time we spent practicing and driving to practices. den, u go and postphone gigs. and u know the most sucky part? eventually we still will play for these inconsiderate ppl bcoz there arent many gig places around.

*continues shouting and screaming in the comfort of his room*

really?

this got me feeling pretty funny inside. to see how a malaysia minister handles questions answered to him. maybe its true, they’ve mastered the art of beating around the bush, using confusing sentences, and in the end not answering the question at all. watch it and let me know what you think.

now part 2 really got me. why, because according to him, everyone in malaysia is allowed to convert to another religion. its the freedom of that person he says. now what i’m not sure about is, if we are indeed allowed to convert as we like, why was that indian lady (cant remember her name and details like that) but in that “rehabilitation center”, if she’s freely allowed to change her religion? doesn’t really sound very “free” to me…
