against those thugs

so, here’s another attempt with mac’s garage band program… I took samples from Too Short’s “Gettin It” and arranged it over some jungle-tech beats… enjoy :)

against those thugs

Human Traffic Samples

If you’re a fan of the movie, “Human Traffic”… I took samples of soundclips from the movie over some drum and base beats. The clips were from the scene where Koop tries to sell records to these club kidz… funniest part of the movie.

Musical Baton-ned

Miyagi passed the baton to SPF (I am assuming its me at spf and not anyone else) so here is my list.

Total volume of music files on my computer (and digital audio player):

28.46GB - 4013 songs, 19.4 days of music. (I rip at 160kbps AAC or min of 192 MP3. […]

oops i diddy it again

Oops! I Did It Again’ was recorded in April, 1932 in a Chicago studio, most likely Nearlie’s or West and Fourth … The song remained all-but-forgotten until sixty years later when a young Britney Spears sent her interpretation of the Armstrong tune all the way to the top of the charts

Wicked Aura

(All views expressed are my own. Its only the facts that I got from somewhere else. And the band did not make me write this.)

So a few nights ago I was hanging with some friends and we bumped into members of Wicked Aura. Don’t know who they are? They are Singpore’s only samba band. Go […]

sing song talk cock

If you visted Chaplins, Hard Rock Cafe or any other place that was cool in the 90s you must heard these songs. 99 Red Balloons by Nena or Give Me Hope Joanna by Eddy Grant.

Every time I see people bopping happily and singing out to these songs I wonder have they really listened to […]

Straits Times Vs The Internets

I have been meaning to write about emergent technologies and trends on the internet for a while. It would have been a gush piece on technorati, flickr, Delicious, RSS readers and folksonomies.

This entry languished in my drafts folder for a while. But then a few things happened that made me edit this piece this […]

More Mashups

Off metafilter:
In the left channel… “The Scientist” by Coldplay. In the right channel… “Pieces” by Sum41. Fight!
Its not a even a mashup. The two play concurrently on each channel. But damn it sounds good! Download Coldplay Vs Sum 41. (Windows Users right click download, Mac users Option click please.) (It was originally hosted […]

Government Smoking Ban Survey

I recently found the Singapore Government’s Feedback Unit Portal. Its soliciting on various issues. Hmm. They say that at the end of every month the results are collated and sent in to the relevant perm secs. Not that I think that it would make any real difference. I think Singapore will have a […]

Garden State (and free music!)

I just saw Garden State at home. It was written/directed and lead-roled by Zach Graff who is better known for his role in the slapstick TV series Scrubs. I was expecting a so-so movie. I was very pleasantly surprised.

If you are fan of Wes Anderson This movie should go down well with […]

Singapore Buskers’ Festival - Reflections

One of the better ideas that came to Singapore. A little forced and un-natural and too short-lived, it did make our streets a much livelier and entertaining place to wander for that week in November. More buskers more buskers for Singapore! Better quality ones too please!

Getting my feet Wet again

There has been a distinct lack of posts from anyone but Jo lately… my excuse? I run my own personal (self indulgent) blog, as well as, a photoblog. Other than that, I am a full time servant to the wage, daughter to my mum and dad, sister to two brothers, friend to some people and […]

Segmented

There is a new radio channel in Singapore. They took over the frequency vacated by Passion 99.5. Now its Lush 99.5. Think its from mediacorp. The channel is in the testing phase right now. If their programming is anything like the material they have been broadcasting, it will play ambient,nu-jazz, chill-out, lounge and maybe world […]
