i'd like to have company during thunderstorms/

tracyanne campbell live, which I hope to see soon.

I woke from a restless 13 hour sleep today.


God knows when was the last time I slept that long.


Oh and the fitful snatches of dreams I had that were just plain huh. Imagine a combination of hamsters, evil supervillians and some other damn weird stuff.

To tell the truth I do not think I have slept as well as I did last night for the past few years ever since the first day I entered military, then the hectic working at hmv after that, and the supposed 'rest' period just done. I like to think the start of university and the rest of my life is on a fresh page.


And what joy I wake to when random browsing online led me to find out that Camera Obscura is coming down to perform in Singapore late October. New films like The Go Master which I have been waiting for some time are *finally* opening here next week. Analogue Girl at the end of this month maybe too just to see what the fuss is all about her, and just to see how electro pop sounds like live. Ohh and the lucksmiths soon too. Ah im happy.

All that is left is getting my new laptop and transferring all the music into it, and soon my dream of a 24 hour jukebox room will come true. And the rest that I hope for is that ill meet people here in nus who share the same music and kind of things that I do. haha but i'm not greedy so let's just see what comes eh.


there is a nice five o clockish rain floating outside of my home now, which sealed my decision for this camera obscura song. I've decided to not write anything about this because well, for me this tune is just = happiness right now, and words really cant find a way around that. Enjoy!

Camera Obscura - I Don't Do Crowds

i'm not saying i'm free from blame

I have never heard such unbearably melancholic and intimate lyrics sung by a voice so sweet and direct that it adds a new dimension of laidback intimacy to the whole issue at hand.

Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura does just that, with her wry soprano and tender songwriting layered over the sextet's restrained and gentle playing. Perhaps it is again the quirky beauty in combined incongruity, the whole when opposites attract wonder. But whatever it is, the combination of music, lyrics, melodies, and vocals work in a fresh and interesting way for a topic that is so often carelessly tripped over by mainstream music.

It's a spring like romance. Warm reminiscience. Mellow wistfulness. You might not find heartbreak as enchanting as this anywhere else.
