Keane - Under the Iron Sea

Two tracks from the upcoming album was leaked to the internet recently (what else is new?). They are "Atlantic" and "Is It Any Wonder?" Both amazing songs and very different compared to their debut album "Hopes and Fears". I do look forward to this album. Looks like i will be spending a lot of $ on CDs again this summer. :P

Death Cab for Cuties / Franz Ferdinand Live

Death Cab for Cuties / Franz Ferdinand Live @ the Calgary Corral 06.04.26

I remember last year when I saw the Killers I said to Gigi that i wish FF would do a live show in Calgary. I waited for another year and finally they were here last nite along with Death Cab for Cutie! Along with an opening act that we completely missed (the Cribs), which i hope i wont be kicking myself in the future if they turn out to be a cool band. I really dont understand what the organizer of the show is thinking when they put the two bands in the same show together, cuz FF and DC are very different in style, one's got really catchy beat, and one is more of the mellow type. DC is actually not too bad of a band, but their songs simply lacks the energy to get the audience going when it's performed live. Since i wasnt so familar with DC's songs, i find the performance a little boring, but DC does have a good lead vocal who didnt crack and screwed up as much as Alex :P

Needless to say, the FF part of the show was awesome! They sang all my fave songs and rocked the crowd with their amazing stage presence. The best part of the concert was when the guys from DC and the Cribs joined FF on stage and did this cool drums sequence together! Overall it was a great show and I was a happy kid with my new band tee. :D

Just hope that there will be more cool bands coming to Calgary!

Our seats aren't too bad....

Franz Ferdinand!

Just came back from the gig; it was pretty awesome! I LOVE FF!!!! Now waiting for my hair to dry out completely before going to bed. Still gotta go to work tmr. :(

To be continued....

How?

The weather's been pretty good lately, but i am still complaining. The difference in temperature between mornings and evenings is about 15 degrees or more. So how do i dress myself so i keep myself warm in the morning and make sure i wont bake myself on the C-train when I go home in the evening? Pretty annoying indeed.

Tuen Ng Festival is not until May 31, 2006, which means that I won't be able to pack up my winter clothes until then. Gotta believe in that old Chinese wisdom ...

Franz Ferdinand will be here next week! Definitely something that I look forward to.

24 in Rolling Stone

Didnt have time to finish reading the whole thing while picking up my meds at the drug store today, so i am glad that they put the whole interview online:



Click here to read it.

Am i the only one who likes 24 but doesnt like Kiefer Sutherland? (not that i hate him or anything)

Oh btw the 24 quiz part does contain spoilers (yes Olivia!) :P

Music i've brought / been listening to lately

1) Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree (Ltd Edition)

This is a pretty good album if you want to listen to music with catchy beat and stuff. My fave songs are the singles from the album so far (Dance, Dance, Sugar, We're Goin Down and A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"). The song names on this album are so damn long. @_@

2) Annie - DJ Kicks

I like her solo album a lot more. This cd is not that bad.

3) Röyksopp - Röyksopp's Night Out (Live EP)

As a Röyksopp fan i am quite familar with their songs by now (they only had 2 albums so far tho). This live EP is quite good. I've seen them live on TV a couple of times but i'd wish they'd come do a live in Calgary or something (chances of that is a little slim tho). Annoying thing about this cd is that it is one of those stupid 'Content Protected' disc. Cant even play it on my PC (but luckily i got mp3s). And these record companies complain drop of sales...

4) The Arcade Fire - Funeral

I finally got this after listening to the mp3s for so long. A pretty good album except i hate whoever that designed the packaging of the cd. No wonder why some ppl stop buying CDs! A proper cd case next time, please!

5) Napoleon Dynamite OST

You'll love this soundtrack if you've seen the movie. :)

WTF?!

Some kinda curse or what? I was feeling sick and then went out to get some meds / food and my car got hit. @_@ Luckily no one was hurt, the damage was minor and my car is pretty crappy, but still. It was totally not my fault and i just called my insurance agency to report it today. They said that they might rule it as 50/50 cuz it happened at a parking lot which is an uncontrolled area which is a load of crap cuz that stupid car just backed out and hit the side of my car, how can it be my fault??? Anyways, if that woman denies it's her fault i will for sure flip out.

Sick AGAIN?

Ya you read that right. I am still not 100% recover from that deadly cold i had last month. Went to the doc's office today and found out that both my throat and right ear is infected. Yikes! Hopefully i'd feel better after getting more rest this weekend. Got some antibiotic this time to help me fight the virus.
