Sons and Daughters - Dance Me In
Timo Maas - First Day (feat B.Molko)
The Knife - Pass This On

The Kills is somewhat similar to The Raveonettes & Jesus and Mary Chain. Am very impressed with their latest track, the intended pause in the middle of the song was done perfectly. Maybe they learned it from 'Hard to Explain'? You will soon be repeating "get the guns out..get the guns out". Not advisable to watch the video after a hearty meal; the changing scenes moves like a washing machine.

The Knife has a distinct kinda feel, like what you get from listening to The Cardigans. The video potrayed a lady singing to bunch of curious men in a room. A melodious tune is being played whenever she stopped singing. Would be exploring more from this interesting group.

Haven't listened to the new Garbage album and not totally into their singles from it. Until this new track came about. Shirley laboured on about "A resolution.. is not the solution". She also gets dragged away from security for exposing too much on stage.. Had a nice feel to it, bringing back the groove of Adrogyny & Cherry Lips.

Timo Maas has worked with Placebo before, notably on the remix of Special K. Now, Brian guests on this new song. I think they borrowed a part from DoomsNight, that track used on a phone commercial ad. Very nicely done to incorporate many different sounds into one song.

Sons and Daughters are from Glasgow. The lady sound like a Shirley singing a fast version of Shania Twain's country hit. Imagine a rodeo get-together, all hand clapping and simple guitar hooks. She keeps repeating "just dance me in", but won't get you tired from singing along.


I hope Craig & Maria or Leah & Roberto wins the million. Can't stand that Randy. He has a big attitude problem. Basically that boy is a childish, spoilt brat. How Tina is able to withstand him I don't know. Andre & Amirah could go far if they have more focus on future stunts. I like the determination of Roberto. That guy is cool.

Two most important dates next year :
02 Jan 2006 - Arsenal v Man Utd
08 Apr 2006 - Man Utd v Arsenal

Would like to see Vieira & Park Jeeeeee Sooo-uuuung kicking each other. Any other new bloodshed incidents are also welcomed.


Wonder who started this "timing" for marriage thingy. You know, egs like - 2nd Feb 2002 = 02/02/02 , 20th Mar 2003 = 20.03.2003
Not long ago, a celebrity even waited for 20:05pm on 20th May 2005 to sign on the dotted line. All because it is easier to remember. Hmm.. how the hell can one forget their date of marriage? Unless of course you have a few wives that came on a different timeline or you worry that you would remarry again in the future for some unforseen reasons. Well, as long as both parties are loyal to each other till the end. A new beginning of happiness? Another chapter in life some might say.
