I was too lazy to take any photos but fuck Placebo was awesome. Just gonna steal Likki’s and Jamie’s photos here.
And I can’t believe how many guitars they actually carry around for their world tour. They must have changed guitars at like for every song.
I’m as jealous as hell.
On other related news, I have confirmed that I have an addictive personality. Not new, but yea pretty much confirmed it. God help me please!
Flight of the Conchords – Too Many dicks on the dancefloor
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks!
[Jemaine]
Going to the party
Sippin on Bacardi
Wanna meet a hottie
But there’s Adam, Steve and Marty
There’s Billy, Todd and Tommy
They’re on leave from the army
The only boobs I see tonight will be made of origami
[Bret]
Tell the players, make it understood
It ain’t no good if there’s too much wood
Make sure you know before you go
The dance floor bro-hoe ratio
5 to 1 is a brodeo
Tell Steve and Mark its time to go
Wait outside all night to find
20 dudes in a conga line
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Easy to fix!
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Spread out the dicks!
[Dave]
Too many dudes
With too many dicks
Too close to my shit
Too hard to meet chicks
I need better odds
More broads, less rods
I came to do battle
Skedaddle with the cattle prods
[Jemaine]
Too many men
Too many boys
Too many misters
Not enough sisters
Too much time on, too many hands
Not enough ladies, too many mans
[Jemaine]
Too many dicks
Too many dongs
Too many schlongs
Now sing this song
As we count down the last few days of the first decade in the new millennium, I have decided to come out with my Top 10 bands of the decade that has influenced me. Although some of the bands were formed maybe before the 2000s, I have chose them based on the fact that they were mostly prominent during the 2000s and the fact that these were the bands that influenced me some way or another during this time frame. So here we go!
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
A beautiful island breeze whistles through the air. The skies are blue and the sun scorches those below it. Aside from the bustling traffic consisting of cars and small motor bikes, there is a certain calm on the streets. While paradise it may not be, Penang has a magical charm surrounding its shores and the city.
The average Penang man on the streets has lived here all of his life. He has seen the island blossom from a tropical holiday destination to a place which is now considered as the second most “happening” place in Malaysia only behind KL. Johor Bharu may be bigger in size and is bordering Singapore, but its crime rate is atrocious. Ipoh is just way too boring and slow paced, it is best suited for retirees and those who have already seen the ways of the world. The other places in Malaysia are either too remote or are still in its infancy stage of development.
I have graced the face of this tropical tortoise shaped Island for almost 11 years now. It was the home of both my paternal and maternal grandparents and both my parents are most probably destined to live the remaining of their lives on this isle. I have learnt to love Penang for not only its good but also its quirks which range from inconsiderate kiasu people to the fact that Penang bars and clubs have yet to show any diversity in their choice of music they play in their venues. At the end of the day when all has been said and done and when I have journeyed through to the ends of the world there Penang will remain in a special place in my heart.
My journey in Penang should be coming to an end very soon. For all its wonders and beauty and its quirks, it is time for me to move on and take a journey into the world. Where God brings me next I do not know. I was a 10 year old kid who had just come back from Melbourne when I first lived here in Penang. The Island has brought me countless memories and experiences to remember.
Although this chapter of my life is coming to a close, this is where my Penang story begins. The following stories are about a little “wee” boy and his tales of the land of Char Koay Teow and trishaw peddlers. This is his story of Penang; his hometown.
Jom Penang la! stories:-
The Long Dirty Pipe written on 12/03/2009
Old HousesAlright a question to all nangers out there (sorry thats my new word for Penangites)…
“How many times have we been guilty of complaining that Penang is utter boring and how we always moan about how there is nothing to do?”
Come on hands up….I for one is as guilty as charged…I have complained that Penang has too many tukaus, Penang has no great bars, Penang has limited places to go….the list goes on and on…
I think many times we take our little tortoise shaped island for granted and not realise that hey Penang actually has a story to tell…When you look at cities like Ipoh who has had their whole city modernised it is just dull. KL is the big city with the big lights and thats all. Melaka is historical but yea has nothing much aside from that…
I did the heritage walk over the last weekend and dropped into several art galleries, had wicked pasta in this totally deck cafe called Ecko Cafe which was in this old house in Chulia St…really really hipster. Plus you get the old Penang buildings with its very own unqiue design.
We don’t need another shopping mall. Neither do we need sky scrapers that reach the sky. Trust me. Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan have better sky scrapers and shopping malls than us.
We have culture, the beach, and little bars along Chulia st which are just hip. Love Penang for what it is. Lets stop trying to make it into a pretentious little place….
