April 21st, 2008I have very high expectations for this album. Produced by the great Rick Rubin. There’s a website created specially for the new album as reported by Rock Radio.
Just Change It.
March 12th, 2008There has been a change in the Malaysian air. Other than foreign policies, nationhood, nationalism, social building, national security, building economic ties, building international revenues, debating about taxes, oil prices, tolls, please, please do take into consideration entertainment.
Can we have more concerts please? The Rolling Stones, U2, Metallica, The Killers, Steve Vai, Radiohead, The Police, Van Halen, Queen, etc. For the locals, I’m not particular because I don’t listen much to their music. But a good revenue to expose talents like this will be amazing. I have a strong belief that Bolehland musicians are good, because I have seen them.
Don’t forget:
“One great rock concert can change the world.”
The new Louis Vuitton face
March 5th, 2008
Meet the new face of Louis Vuitton, Keith Richards, guitarist of the legendary band that still ain’t get no satisfaction after all these years. Critiques state the oddness of the pairing of the rock icon and the fashion icon. Campaign is created by Ogilvy & Mather and this is Keith’s first ever ad campaign at the age of 64. Maybe he might get a really cool Louis Vuitton guitar case.
I remember stating somewhere that I am willing to go unpaid as a roadie for Keith. I still am.

Wah Taa!
The Plectrum is for Pussies.
February 18th, 2008
Years ago, I read an interview article with Jeff Beck. Other than the mentioned achievements, learned lessons and gear setups, he made a very strong statement; the plectrum is for pussies.
Jeff Beck plays live without a pick as preached. Only depending on finger power. Clouding his fingers with powder and playing the guitar with skill and a lot tonal quality. Scary thing is that he has control over the whammy bar, volume knob and tone knob; all in one go! Mind you that he is from the Eric Clapton/Jimmy Page era.
The ability like that is compatible to managing clients expectations, producing great design and have lots of pleasure at the same time for a designer. Wow.
Hello, good morning, how you do?

Lucky me got a free Switchfoot concert ticket. A Media Pass actually to be specific. So i get to walk around acting like some reporter-wannabe. It was kind of cool.
Latest guitar teacher
October 27th, 2007Meet Dave Weiner, my guitar tutor for the past few months. Dave has been touring with Steve Vai for the past 8 years upon Steve’s request and has been making wonderful music since.
After realizing that I couldn’t really commit myself to attend lessons, I realize I needed to do something before my hobby goes down the drain. I turned to Dave’s Riff of the Week using ITunes to download these weekly Podcasts. They have been of great help in refreshing on the basics and kerning beats and notes on the fretboard. I don’t really follow every lessons thought directly but they do keep my mind fresh about how things should be approached in music.
Upon getting an old nice and sweet sounding Yamaha F-20 guitar amp last week, for only RM180, I’m recharged after not having an amplifier for the past 4 years.
Last week, Riff of the Week saw it’s 100th episode on-air.
P.s: Other that Riff of the Week, I also subscribe to Typeradio and have discontinued some other subscriptions due to limited space on my Mac.
