Shakira: Waka-Waka

Oh me gosh, when I checked my last update like it was last month already. Time really flies that I think I am quite busy with my life that actually I don't have the proper time to blog myself like before. Got some pictures to publish though but quit lazy to bluetooth it via my laptop. Some other time of course..hehe. Anyway, enjoy the latest video that I dig currently. Not the video that I adore to be precise. Its the music and its simplicity that catches my attention :)
Amy MacDonald - Don't Tell Me That It's Over
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried the best
Tell me what am I to do, maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they’re sleeping alone
No house, nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I meant to see
Won’t you stop preaching at me
And I wanna see what is all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
All the money in the world would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world will never set my heart alive
A dream of the day, when it’s all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
A dream of the day when it’s all gone away
The dreams are finite.
Don’t tell me that it’s over
It’s only just begun
Don’t tell me that it’s over
Don’t tell me that it’s over please I’m on my knees
Last night I saw this video clip on Hitz TV, I thought she was Katy Perry by judging from her face. My thought was wrong though; she was Lenka Kripac, best known as Lenka, an Australian actress and singer. She is also known with her single "The Show" in 2008 but I really think the song in this clip is much better :)
Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend
Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh You're fine for a while but you start to lose control
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh So don't forget as you ease on down the road
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!
Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel And how I try to make him leave, I try Oh oh, I try!
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh! Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh
While people put their thumbs up for Need For Speed: Shift and started to judging it with Gran Turismo, GT5 stands alone and I prefer to call it: superior. Gran Turismo since its first release is a very fun game to play. Despite all the licenses you have to achieve, the beauty of it starts when you play the game more deeply and winning more money and free hungry-for-horsepower cars for you to modify and put them for a test or two. GT climbs the ladder step by step with improvements I couldn't think of. With Gran Turismo 5 waiting to be launched soon, I can assure you this game will be as grand as GT used to be. I'm hoping for aftermarket parts, accessories and custom made aerokits to be popped inside the game though to make it more fun.
Talking about Need For Speed: Shift, I couldn't agree more this time EA makes a very lovely looking NFS with its powerful graphics. For computer gaming system, the minimum requirement is as low as ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB or Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT 256MB graphic card. I love to try the game yet my lappy has OEM graphic card only..pppfffTTT!!! With more than 70 real cars, I bet it will be awesome to have all those cars pimped with unique paints, staggered wheels and extreme aerodynamics. You should check it out and have it in HD quality LCD for the true simulating experience :D For Wii users, EA simply call it Need For Speed: Nitro. It should be out by this November 2009. Why they call it Nitro instead of Shift, I don't really know. What I possibly know is that the graphic won't be as stunning as Shift though but I do hope it'd be more better than the previous NFS: Undercover.
Forget about NFS, I beg you to check out Gran Turismo's official GT5 video clip below. It is sooooo attempting to have a PS3 soon *winxxxx*
I started to listen to this song when my wife played Twilight Soundtrack CD during our normal car cruising a few weeks ago. This song to me is definitely different; unique, has this mysterious aura that it really gives me a chill sometimes. But when you watch this clip, it is something rather far away from Twilight's own theme..hehe. Anyways, thumbs up for being different. UK groups do kick ass for being unique xD
The Black Ghosts - Fullmoon
When the thorn bush turns white that’s when I’ll come home I am going out to see what I can sow And I don’t know where I’ll go And I don’t know what I’ll see But I’ll try not to bring it back home with me
Like the morning sun your eyes will follow me As you watch me wander, curse the powers that be Cause all I want is here and now but its already been and gone Our intentions always last that bit too long
Far far away, no voices sounding, no one around me and you’re still there Far far away, no choices passing, no time confounds me and you’re still there
In the full moons light I listen to the stream And in between the silence hear you calling me But I don’t know where I am and I don’t trust who I’ve been And If I come home how will I ever leave
To eerie music fans, that name above is synonym to Cradle Of Filth's female vocal/backing vocal that had worked with the band since their first album. With her English accent and some mellow sweet vampyric voices, some might fell in love with her. Anyways, for many years doing tours with the Cradles, it's time for her to create her own destiny with Angtoria as she fronted the band as one of the most outrageous and respected female rock vocalists ever around this dirty globe!!
I was scouting for Greddy Type R blow off valve's video on Youtube, just wanted to know how it actually sounds when it's installed in low and high boost in certain car models. Of course, Greddy has its new Type RS too, so I checked the video as it sounds a bit similar to Type R. Type S is much whistling, so that's off topic. Then I saw this video, it's a remix song from Dixie called "Tricky Muzza's" which has blow off sounds in it, lol. Quite funny, but the song is sometimes nice and a bit high to me :p
Meanwhile, I read lots of comments that truly hate the cars featured in this video. You know, JDM cars doing those bling-bling things; overatted lookin' mods, stupid plate license names...etc. Let alone been called as ricers. The cars are hailing from Australia. The Aussies love to use chrome wheels, matching it with cars made in Japan like Subaru, Nissan, Mitsu..etc. It's quite unique to me looking at their cars, with the mods like their brutal paintjobs, leather interiors, ICEs, air suspensions...
When the motive of these doings are for car shows (actually to me it is the reason why they do all these so called rice mods), I don't think it's false. If you wanna be unique or wanna be a trendsetter, this is one of the healthy ways. But if it is for my taste, I rather choose 100% JDM lookin' car rather than JDM-turned-nigger-rides, be it in a showcar or performance-wise. Bronze/gunmetal/black wheels always suit me most than chrome nowadays :)
While I was surfing for YouTube, instantly I remembered that I should include this video a while ago. Um, very nice video, melancholic lyric, splendid music and beautiful voices. What more do I need to love this song? Check it yerself ^^
Aslan (btw, I only listen to a few of their songs though)
Within Temptation - Memories
(What she actually sings about):
*Whisper*
Memories, Memories, Memories
In This World You Tried Not Leaving Me Alone Behind There's No Other Way I'll Pray To The Gods: Let Him Stay
The Memories Ease The Pain Inside Now I Know Why
Chorus All Of My Memories Keep You Near It's All About Us Imagine You'd Be Here All Of My Memories Keep You Near The Silent Whispers The Silent Tears
Made Me A Promise I'd Try To Find My Way Back In This Life I Hope There Is A Way To Give Me A Sign You're Okay Reminds Me Again It's Worth It All So I Can Go Home
Chorus
Together In All These Memories I See Your Smile All The Memories I Hold Dear Darling You Know I Love You Till The End Of Time
I'd just found a video clip made by a local gothic/core band called Passion Of Some Difference. Eventhough this music video is made in amateur ways, the plots are more satisfying than some of those been aired on TV. I don't know, you can't blame them if things need to be redirected, cut or whatsoever. Like I said earlier, it's an amateur self made video clip, you cannot expect much rather than watch, put your thumbs up or down, make fun of it or applaud it. I enjoy it personally, it's an experimental attempt. Perfection can be done from mistakes. Goodluck guys, hope there will be more clips from ya :)
Passion Of Some Difference - The Wilting Black Rose
Oh yeah, I insert another video from YouTube. It's not as popular as Metallica's but this Swedish band has now building momentums with their own new commercial genre of music, yet not throwing their extremity at all. From technical Melodic Death Metal to a lot more Metalcore influence, they are managed to step forward for a more worldwide recognition with their splendid musical songwritings and nowadays, doing video clips. They are about to release their 3rd album this month, check it out. The clip below is taken from their 2nd album "Only Inhuman". Their bassist, Karin is one of the best female bassists in extreme musical genres. She is simply energetic and going with the flow of the music itself! Anyway, enjoy Sonic Syndicate's video clip "Denied", cheers!!
Aslan (Thank you Mr Hasyadee for exposing me to Sonic Syndicate's music in the very first place :) Hail Adee)
