A Lego Strip #9: Pickup Lines

Homer and Emmet trying to impress Princess Leia.

Concert (Short) Reviews: Postiljonen Live @ The Bee, KL & Vertical Horizon Live @ KL Live 2014

POSTILJONEN
I went to the gig with the expectation of getting an Efterklang impression all over again; to fall in love with the beauty sounds of a never-heard-of Scandinavian band. It fell short though. But Postiljonen did good that night. Can't wait for The Bee/Upfront's next gig (Deerhoof). 3/5 stars.

VERTICAL HORIZON
On 3rd of June, I went to see one of old-school radio rock bands, Vertical Horizon. It was awesome! To see them play I'm Still Here and the consecutive  threesome hit of Everything You Want, Best I Ever Had & You're a God at the end, was more awesome. The opening act, OAG, was great too. They also played a new song called 'Wannabe', which was fresh and brilliant. Can't wait for it to come out on radio/online. 3.5/5 stars.

2014 feels so dry but I'm still cool with what we got, so far for now. Waiting for big events like MTV World Stage, Urbanscapes, Good Vibes (if they still have it) and a rumored Upfront Arena gig (I heard it's gonna be big!)

A Lego Strip #8: Force-Off

Why You Should Watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Because...

1. The fight scenes were awesome and breathtaking. Especially the first bare-hand-combat between Captain America and...

2. ... The Winter Soldier is this year's Marvel coolest villain like Loki. Loki didn't make a cameo but...

3. ... Expect a lot of reference to other Avengers like Iron man and Hulk and easter eggs in the dialogue and blink-and-you-miss-it scenes. Which includes...

4. ... Super-cool cameos from next Avengers: The Age of Ultron movie's significant characters! Stay until end credit.

5. Emily Van Camp as Sharon Carter. Who's Sharon Carter? Find it out. She's related to Captain America's old love.

6. The storyline is a bit heavy on political element which brought balance for young and matured audience.

7. The birth of Crossbones. He is like Marvel version of DC Comic's Deathstroke. Damn.

8. This sequel marked a new path for Black Widow, who was played brilliantly by Scarlett Johansson.

9. This movie is superior to Iron-Man 3 & Thor 2 for Marvel Phase II before Avengers 2.

10. Emily Van Camp. oh wait.

 

Thank you for the tickets, KLIPS Malaysia!

Lucy Rose @ The Bee, KL 2014

I enjoyed her performance at The Bee, Publika, KL last 13th March.The opening act was Malaysian Heymun who warmed up the show. Her first show in KL. And it was good.

 Heymun

Later, Lucy Rose & co took over the stage. Talented she is! And frankly they sounded better live than when on radio. I thought it would be a dull mellow set but it turned out to be danceable one. So I am glad i have discovered another good live act. From the same guys who presented Efterklang at Urbanscapes last year (one of the best shows!).

She played that 'Milk!' song and the song where she played drums.. okay, it was Bikes and Red Face. And my favorite that night, 'Shiver'. (watched the heartbreaking music video please)

Thanks, The Bee. Bring us more exciting acts next time=)
