Homer, Brett and George ( not in order)

What did I do today?

I added Singapore's Foreign Minister Mr George Yeo on facebook! He's adept at the facebook applications from what i see on his profile with really cool sepia photos from his university days in UK to boot.

Also in photos: Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong and Trade and Industry Minister Mr Lim Hng Kiang decked in retro garb of the 70s/80s and shaggy, almost shoulder-length hairdos. And they wanted to ban The Rollling Stones gig in the 70s because the band had long hair?

But I must say, minister sir, good work on facebook. The social media is the future.



I thought about Brett Anderson again and... dug up from the depths of my room, a photo I took with the Suede in 2002, in an interview opportunity I had or rather I won on Power 98 by sending in a question for the band. I sent in a really dumb question to him in retrospect.

Q: What records would you rescue if your house was set on fire?

A: _______________ ( i couldn't remember anything. i didnt record, i wasn't even a journalist, just a radio listener and i didnt take notes. just stared at his flawless, chiselled face)

And for those of you who know, this fangirl bought a box of chocolates intended for Mr Anderson, but I was too shy and it was really damn uncool to give chocolates to a rockstar, ain't it.

Fate of the chocolates? Left it on the bus, on my way to watch Suede at MediaCorp studios.



A vintage Penguin! I bought this vintage 1960s print of Homer's Odyssey at some second-hand book fair at Tanjong Pagar HDB estate. Haven't started reading it though, I am much afraid , it will fall apart in my greasy hands. Maybe I should start collecting vintage penguins. I should :) And this was a steal, nonetheless along with a 1950s Charles Dickens I bought.

"Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Just like the first time he said he didn't care
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Heard it before, no more
Gonna wash that man right out of my hair
Turn the corner another one thereeeee"

Just shoot me, mothership of censorship (i.e: Straits times)

Self-censorship is well and alive in our local press. To find out more, ask me.

Gone Gone Gigs

T'was a fun MRT ride alone, thinking about all the bands/acts that I would have loved to catch in my lifetime. But most of them have disbanded, making it a nevermore.

Reunions, maybe?

The List:

1) Blur
2) Garbage
3) The Smiths
4) Suede (sorta caught them in a TV studio showcase, but I want the real thang. with bernard Butler)
5) Pulp
6) The Beautiful South
7) Pink Floyd
8) Colin's Appendix (hahah, for old times sake and the day I braved wearing a tape plastered on my shirt, reading "Groupie")
9) The Pixies ( i think they regrouped already)

And I "very scared" Yeah Yeah Yeahs will dissolve soon, so must hurry hurry watch while they are still happy together.

i am slackerbitch, hear me roar.
