Yes Poptart is ending.... I met so many good souls through Poptart and got re-acquainted with old friends at many a craze party there. Adrian, Aida, Zaidi, Pearlyn, Cherry, Ayi, Daren, Vincent, Gerald, Ray, Vicki, Ginette, Radzi... It's an endless list. Hope you'll be there on 16 Sept for one final bash at Homeclub.

Adrian sent me this a while ago and I got damn emo watching it.


Lilia was back but only briefly. So Morphy played their only gig for 2006. Their new direction now is more like how I imagine them to be. The rocking out is translucent and the ethereal colourings more apparent.

I thanked Terence for putting them on the bill that night. Al Grande Terrismo blew me away with their awesome display of gutteral thrash metal. The new Ossuary? Guitarist/vocalist Kay told me they are very new. I'm shall eagerly follow their progress.

Dug this out to listen again after I missed Documentary In Amber's gig two weeks ago. I only caught the final song. A monstrous assault of beautiful noise. Think huge bowl of chocolate icecream and you're lapping it up like you're possessed by the ghost of Cookie Monster.

I was too tired so I went out for a quiet moment and willingly missed Elise. Ayi will hate me now. But I know they won't disappoint. This is another quality product from the boys from cacophonousville.

Saw Elektone at Monday Sessions and really like what they did. Unfortunately my recording was really crap. Way too much crowd ambience. I kept wanting to but decided I won't post it up cos it won't do the band justice. There will be another time. Check them out at http://myspace.com/elektone.
