I really hate common short band names. It just makes searching for information on them much harder. This is why I love bands names that are uncommon non-dictionary names. However, this love and hate is limited only to the band names, and not to the music. If a weird name band produces crappy music, there’s no way I’m loving them. Similarly, if there’s a band with a (common) dictionary word as a name that produces nice music, I’m falling for them, in a straight sense. A band like 鴉 is what I’m talking about here.
I’ve loving what I’m hearing so far from this 3 piece band.

This was published not too long ago, just last December. At first, I thought this would be one of those character guide books for a manga series, just like any other, but it was totally the opposite. This is one of those instances where manga is educational.

I gave up trying to diss K-ON! after I realised how much I suck at the guitar. Now, I don’t even give a hoot if there’s a second, third of fourth season, or how many people ravage the music instrument store for that Fender Jazz bass or Gibson Les Paul.
Here’s a cover of Island in the Sun that some guys from RIUVA and I did. Yeah, we sucked more than what the band did in the first episode of K-ON!.

My music taste tends to vary after some time. 2 years ago, I was really into anime songs and mainstream Japanese pop music. However, now that my music appetite has gone down a different path, I’m intending on selling some of the CDs that I bought much earlier on. While I don’t keep all my CDs in their shrink wraps like Darkmirage does, I usually just rip them once, flip through the booklet, and place it back on the shelf. As such, you can be sure that my CDs are generally in good, near mint condition.
Prices here are stated in Singapore dollars. I will only accept local Singapore buyers. Alright, here goes.

While the change of the event’s venue for this year’s EOY from Singapore Expo to the National Library has certainly made improved the accessibility, it compressed the event area. It’s common for cosplay events to be packed with many cosplayers and even more photographers, but this time round, it felt unbearably packed. There were times when I wanted to snap a shot, but due to the cramped area around the cosplayer, even waiting behind the wall of photographers for a turn to snap a shot would be out of the point.
