AGT 2008 - Eli Mattson

Just caught the telecast of AGT semi-finals 2008 on 5. The results are already out in America, and he lost to Neil Boyd, a soprano-like singer. But IMO, he is good! I found his video on youtube, and he already has a large group fans waiting for his album. Haha. Here is a clip of his performance of Nobody knows by The Tony Rich Project. Nice song, nice voice. Talent.

Human - The Killers

Another groovy song from The Killers. I foresee it to be a huge hit in the clubs.

郑中基 - 怪胎

郑中基 - 怪胎 作词：易家揚 作曲：李峻一 专辑：怪胎 (新歌＋精选) ★ 賴潤誠制作

他们说我很怪 尤其对於爱
老犯错太沉默 老是学不乖
才开始就想逃跑 从来不问未来
像个贪玩的小孩
他们说谈恋爱 是一种负债
很甜蜜很花钱 很需要忍耐
可是孤单要人命
没有人能例外 得跟命运摊牌
天知道有多累 害我这种人
没错你快些离开 也许真的是你欠我的债
偏偏你不醒来
为什麽喜欢我 我这种怪胎
像原始人活在新时代
外表叛逆但心不坏 不轻易恋爱
我相信永远不存在
别爱上我 我这种怪胎
我的人生一路在修改
我说爱情是海底针 真心很难买
忘了我让我一个人 自由自在
开着车大声吼 需要看看海
网路上寻着宝 最近有点宅
我跟世界的比赛 可是裁判没来
奖状就是无奈
忘了我让我一个人

Dig out your soul, Oasis...

From the beginning, Oasis' greatest strength and most glaring weakness has been shamelessness — the belief that no classic-rock riff is too timeworn, no Beatles allusion too banal to merit blasting out at top volume. At its best, this brutish approach has produced some transcendent music ("Live Forever," "Wonderwall"), but as years have passed and gray hair has sprouted in the Gallagher brothers' moptops, the self-parody has often seemed less charming than wearying. Oasis' latest is heavier on groove than normal, and there are a couple of gripping moments, especially Liam's stately, Lennonesque ballad "I'm Outta Time." But for the most part, Dig Out Your Soul is an almost comically generic Oasis release, from its preponderance of plodding midtempo rockers ("Bag It Up," "Waiting for the Rapture") to the vaguely Indian raga-flavored psychedelic anthems ("To Be Where There's Life"). Then there's the issue of Liam's "philosophizing" — he's entered the Maharishi phase of his Beatles worship, clogging songs with beatitudes like "Space and time and here and now/Are only in your mind." Got that?

The Dark Knight...

The Dark Knight (OMG, Christian Bale!!) is coming to Singapore soon. The movie is to be released on 17th July 2008. Opening in Singapore on 31st July 2008. Many fans will support the much awaited movie and also pay tribute to the late Heath Ledger, otherwise known as The Joker. I came across this Bizarro comic at the Washington Post online. I LOL almost immediately.

Online Men's Mag

There are many online men's magazines for guys (or the ladies) to read during their spare time. You can check out fashion39.com for a full list of online magazines. I personally like GQ Taiwan, Mens Uno , Taipei Walker, Mens Non No for their stories and write-ups on fashion, style, food, etc. Cool.

Hot shot young lawyer Bill Holden and his wife Becca move with their four year old daughter to the booming, gold–rush city of Shanghai, a place of enormous wealth and crushing poverty, of opportunity and temptation, where fortunes are made and foreign marriages come apart in spectacular fashion.

After Becca witnesses a tragedy that awakens her to the reality of life beyond the bright lights and glitzy surface of the city, she despairs of life as a Shanghailander and returns temporarily to London with Holly – and Bill and JinJin are thrown together. But can a western lawyer steal a Chinese millionaire"s mistress? Will he give her the love she deserves? How does a man give up his wife when she is also his best friend? And how can a loving father ever walk out on his child? My Favourite Wife is about the men and women of our time – their struggles, their joys and their secret longings. Above all it is a book about where sex, romance and obsession ends – and where true love begins.
