One evening I wanted to play a different kind of music in my car. So I randomly pressed a disc number and when the music started, I was like … wait a minute, who is this artist? Four songs had passed and I still had no clue. Kind of scary because I did remember that [...]

May 23rd, 2007 1 Comment
I still remember when and where I bought the Canadian artist Avril Lavigne’s first record “Let Go”. It was at HMV Citilink back in 2002 and over the listening station I was impressed with her voice and music style from track one. Avril was 18 then and she was the youngest female artist to have [...]

May 14th, 2007 No Comments
In 1994, the British band “Suede” has given the world one good news and one bad news. Good news was that they have released one of their finest work “Dog Man Star” (written by Brett Andersen and guitarist Bernard Butler). If I was to be stationed in a remote island for a long time, “Dog [...]

I have just purchased another batch of CDs so I better publish the reviews of the last batch fast. Expect another few on the way. Writing an album review can be at times tedious. Sometimes it takes 5 to 10 rounds for me to get into an album. Sometimes I need to refer to some [...]

April 3rd, 2007 1 Comment
Before viewing the DVD that comes with the Deluxe Edition of Hilary Duff’s new album “Dignity”, the title of this blog would have been “Too Little Great Songs Too Late”.

New readers of my site must have thought that I only listen to Japanese female artists’ music (which unfortunately Koda Kumi will be my next review target as Norah Jones’s new album is a major [...]

Gwen, You Go Girl!
December 6th, 2004 No Comments
I have been a huge, huge No Doubt fan. Having been to their wild, wild concert at Paris, I will just buy anything that has Gwen Stefani’s voice in it. I am so totally into Gwen and her band. And so I did, bought the album without even listenning to any tracks. And I don’t [...]
