French Teen Idol - Enlightened False Consciousness
I'm a sucker for electronica. And when the combination of ambient comes into the picture, it blows my world, softly. It's a perfect listen for some time alone or when you want to put on your headphone and close your eyes.
French Teen Idol is an instrumental solo project by Andrea Di Carlo that hails from Rome, Italy. His second album, Enlightened False Consciousness, was released in 2007. As I listen to the album, I couldn't help repeating the two tracks; The Longest Night, and the title track.
Am loving the melodies of the piano and strings.. Makes a pretty picture of an empty wide field with tall grass swaying to the breezy wind.
The best thing is, his album - Enlightened False Consciousness is free to download! Just head to his myspace and click the link provided to the full length album. If you have trouble finding your way to myspace, just click on the album picture.

my first love for an artist.
when i was younger, i used to think that i'll get married to jon foreman.haha. his voice, oh my sweetness, was and is breath-taking.oh well anyways during that time,i did some google-ing about him and found out that he was already married.what a bummer.it hit me right back to reality.
in 2008, i got my dream to see switchfoot live in malaysia. i went there with my siblings and friends. When the concert started with our very own malaysian bands ' love me butch' and 'altered frequency' playing for the opening show, we were all looking around for the best place to stand, and we were pretty far from stage. It was quite a long while before switchfoot started. so i called one of my friend Elizabeth and asked her where was she standing and she said that she was right in front of the stage and i thought, oh ok, i'll come see you for a while(i haven't seen her in like ages and the 'awhile' lasted the whole concert).there was a guy standing in front of us. so we were literally the second row from the stage. as we were talking and talking and talking, the lights went off.and so, switchfoot concert began. it felt so surreal to watch them play live,let alone see them so clearly right in front of you, plus it was my first concert ever. their showmanship is so good. their sound , their energy, is amazing. his voice, his voice, his voice, is just great.i was so happy when he started singing, 'hello, good morning, how'd you do' learning to breathe was one of my fav songs. half way through the concert, jon foreman decides to come down stage to greet his fans.i was like 'oh my gosh' he's so near us, he was standing right in front of the guy that was in front of me and elizabeth. since he was just there, haha, i streched out my hands to touch his arm. LOL. i shall describe to you what he looked like and how his body built is like. he was sweating all over,he had long blonde hair, he's tall, his arms were very muscular and blonde because of his hairy arms. haha. okay back to where he was, he decides to then stand on the railing and lean forward towards the crowd. that was pretty scary, just cause everyone started rushing and pushing and squeezing to the front. it was crazy. i was wearing my specs and it almost broke coz we were all squashed up together. in the midst of the chaos, i looked up and jon foremans face was right there, his eyes are so darn nice.oh and his sweat was dripping on us. i remembered thinking hopefully his sweat doesnt fall on my mouth.haha. he grabbed one of the camera from then crowd, snapped his picture and went back upstage to play. the band was amazing. you can really see that they enjoy playing music together and loving what they do. the concert was so enjoyable. singing and swaying to their music with my good friend was very cool.i wanna see them live again! i'm glad that all my friends and brother and sisters got to see them live too! so much fun!and that is why, everyone in the whole wide world should go see switchfoot live!

My Turn!
whoop whoop~
Pomplamoose. I 1st heard their cover of Beyonce's-Single Ladies which I thought was super awesome so I checked out some of their other stuff. My ears agreed to them. :)
Quirky, folkish, cute. I love her voice.
As the blog posts roll in you'll find mine will mostly be chilling music. Quiet is the new loud, DUDE!
The Weepies.
I guess they're not new but I LIKE. :P hehee
I really like the melodies and the little guitar riffs.
Anyways Just blue is my fav from them right now. Though it's supposed to be sad but it always puts a smile on my face when I put it on.
