Loser-X

Found in the special and limited editions. Well worth the extra cost, especially for this one line: "Dear Penis, give my butt a sign" - Simone Simons Clever girl...

Just pulled an all night, and then in the morning I threw on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's, and somehow additional dimensions in the music which I have never noticed before just leapt out of the speakers and blasted right through my consciousness...

Trent Reznor has done it: a double album of new instrumental music available as a high quality, DRM-free download, very reasonably priced 2 CD set (US$10) or either one of a pair of luxurious deluxe packages. I'll be grabbing the 2 CD set myself ...

Found this in a shop, obviously a collection of songs from before he got help with hitting the high notes.

Trent Reznor (and Nine Inch Nails by default) is now free from any recording contract . As I have mentioned , he is one of the few, perhaps the only, major artist who gets it. Here's hoping more famous musicians follow his lead. [via digg ]

Yes, got mine in the mail. Thanks YesAsia ! I highly recommend them. Free international shipping (conditions apply)! The package design is exquisite, very classy. All transparent and white. A shot of the front: Of the back: Opened up: The styrofoam block...

I though Prince was a musician who got it, but apparently he doesn't . Stunts like this will only cost him legitimate fans. Trent Reznor, on the other hand, is one of few artists who gets it and has the balls, knowledge and integrity to do the right...

Indeed, the thermochrome CD is very nice. Unfortunately... the tropical climate of Singapore renders it useless. I need to hold the CD up to the air conditioner to cool it down enough. That said, I've recently discovered our local band The Observatory...

After years of on and off aborted snail mail attempts to snag this bootleg, I finally got it thanks to dimeadozen.org . Thank you DIME users. Thank you MS (taper). The only references to this concert that I can Google for are a contemporary fan review...

Very interesting article on the book "This Is Your Brain on Music". Probably explains why I cannot accept new rock music, and also why old *coughbonjovicough* songs make me happy even though I know they are crap.

Paris Hilton cries when she listens to her own album . Yeah, well, like, I probably will feel like crying too if I, like, ever have to listen to it.

Finally caught an episode of the second season of Singapore Idol, because it was "Rock the House" night. Song by song run down (I don't know the names of the contestants): You Give Love A Bad Name: Pretty decent! Good voice and stage presence...

A good read, and somehow comforting. The 'crazy diamond' founder of Pink Floyd was no acid casualty or recluse. He loved art and DIY, his sister Rosemary tells his biographer Tim Willis in her first interview for 30 years "My lovably ordinary...

A sad day for all music lovers, Syd Barrett has died at the age of 60. Wish You Were Here , Syd.

I was certainly entertained by this video of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain doing Smells Like Teen Spirit. The concept is so silly its awesome.
