New material again. This time it’s a cover of the Beatles’ Come Together. Inspired while listening to Filter’s Jurassitol. Vocals aren’t great. Working on it. Read more

I can’t remeber the last time I sat down and really wrote a piece, showcasing my emotion in music. It’s been a while, it’s been too long. Please enjoy, Le Cœur Vide (The Empty Heart).
Ultimate Ears 700
Roughly 12 months back I wrote about my hunt for a new pair of quality IEMs (view post here). I’m pleased to report that I have found and purchased something I really like. It certainly took a while but after trying out IEMs the likes of AKG’s K370, Sennheiser ‘s CX 400 II, Klipsch’s Image S4, Monster’s Turbine & Beats and Ultimate Ears’ SuperFi 5 & UE700, I finally made up my mind to go with the UE700 and I’m genuinely pleased with my purchase. Hit the jump for a mini review. Read more

Marshall Major and Minor Headphones
After decades of producing great lo-fi amps and cabs, Marshall is going hi-fi with their Major and Minor headphones. Just looking at these is making me drool! I’ve got three words, “I want them”. Why? I’ve got meself a Marshall amp and I love it! Will these cans sound good? I don’t know, don’t care but they should because they look good and if they don’t, well, who cares? I won’t. The Major is retailing at 99 USD and the Minor, 59 USD – but is currently sold out. Question is, when will these babies come to Malaysia? Will they ever come? Please do.

On the Inside Looking Out
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done anything remotely artistic. With my workstation dead, I am unable to compose music, muck around with photoshop and pretty much barred from listening to my favourite tunes.
But here’s an art piece I did online over at deviantart. To view the larger image, click the thumbnail.
Sancta Maria
Sancta Maria! turn thine eyes -
Upon the sinner’s sacrifice,
Of fervent prayer and humble love,
From thy holy throne above.
At morn – at noon – at twilight dim -
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and wo – in good and ill -
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee;
Now, when storms of Fate o’ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine!
:: Edgar Allen Poe ::

Look at the Skyline
If you must know, I’m a big fan of art/independent films. That is mainly one of the two reasons why I’ve never written a single movie review to date. The other reason being the scarcity of good art/independent films where I live and of course, time. Well when I do get my hands on them, I’ll be sure to pen it down but right now, let’s take a look at an interesting film entitled “Skyline“.
When I first saw the picture on io9.com, I got really excited. I love the sci-fi genre and the picture you see above looks amazing! In a nutshell, the film’s about an alien invasion with their space craft wrecking havoc on LA, large alien-beings and us humans trying their best to survive and escape the carnage. We do fight back though, but we won’t know how we’ll do until the movie’s out. I say serves us human right for treating the prawns like crap in District 9 – here comes payback! By the way Skyline is not related to District 9, no, far from it but it does have the makings of an epic sci-fi movie, bigger even.
Now, the film is a low budget flick by Greg and Colin Strause. Yes the same people that brought us Predator: Requiem, a movie I quite regret paying my hard-earned moolah for. But I’m quick to forgive, and the Strause brothers are working to produce a film where the acting crew can have a free hand to express themselves and if I’ve read correctly, move away – if ever so slightly from the Hollywood movie formula. Much kudos if they do. Skyline will feature Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson, Brittney Daniel, and David Zayas, interesting because they’re mostly TV stars.
Skyline will be on screens in November, so that’s something we all can look forward to.
