Message

Message in a bottle
posed as a spot on tube
Message written with emptiness
will it echo the feel ?
Message sung
Message shared
I know there are more hanging there
But need another hand to get out there



========================================================

This unplugged version of "Message In A Bottle"
performed by Sting of The Police is right on time, in me.
Also sharing this great song in its original version
(that's very ska, great arrangement)



“MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE” was released in 1979.
It is a song from The Police’s second album, Reggatta de Blanc.
The single was The Police’s first Number One hit in the UK.

Maybe I Was Born To Run

I celebrated the spirit of 1975 on Saturday, 25 August,
I watched Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 concert on the DVD.
And? Exhilarating.

The Boss and The E Street Band,
man, are just pure Rock N Roll machines.

I’ve to admit -
my respect for The Boss has only grew.
I feel his intense passion for music,
passion to perform, passion in life.
It all comes across in real honesty.
And, he is a real talent.

If The Brits have the best quirk in words & lyrics,
The Boss has a way with musical arrangements, in my opinion.
It’s Rock N Roll on roller coaster – you get exciting surprises.

Another thing worth a mention – The Boss’ fans, the concert goers.
What’s special? Watch this.



With that, I award those who attend the above
Bruce Springsteen Barcelona 2002 Concert,
- The Best Rocking Audience.

Bruced Again

I was absolutely thrilled with BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s
1973 ‘live’ performance of song "THUNDERCRACK"
(one of the featured rare clip in the documantary disc),
the soul, the fun, the passion, the whole unpredictability…
it was so cracking good!

It would be the ideal one to share, but wasn't posted on youtube,
instead I found this Fan Video of BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s
2003 performance of the same song "THUNDERCRACK"
with a slightly different play.

Nonetheless, yet another one to get your feet tapping.



Turn up the volume. Turn it up real real loud.

2 Weeks On ...

It's been 2 weeks since I attended The Cure Concert !
One of the many songs that still get
my legs shaking, hands trembling, head nodding
is... Grinding ~~~~~~ Halt .



Volume is quite soft. Turn it up.

We Don't Need No Thought Control

I had previously twice posted video from Youtube
featuring Roger Waters' 'live' performance of
"Another Brick In The Wall" at the LIVE EARTH concert.

I felt it was such an appropriate moment
to share such a statement made.

So I dedicated this week for LIVE EARTH Concert
and encouraged my fellow readers & friends
to visit their official msn link & view rest of the acts.
Anyway, as expected, corporation rules.
Most of the videos had been removed.

That brings me to bring forward my plan
to share with you PINK FLOYD's THE WALL The Movie.

I've found this great compilation of the movie's
"Another Brick In The Wall" Part 1, 2 and 3,
in proper video & sound quality.

I've posted the above said video previously, however since
it had been removed from the tube, here it's the clip of
"Another Brick In The Wall" Part 2

So once again - Watch , Listen , Feel , Think

1967 : The Year Beatles Spread Love

What a great discovery!
I found this rare treat on youtube and I just want to share.
Featuring THE BEATLES performing 'live' 1st time on T.V.
for the song 'ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE'.

THE BEATLES first performed it on OUR WORLD,
the first ever live global television link.
Broadcast to 26 countries and watched by 350 million people,
the programme was broadcast via satellite on June 25, 1967.
The BBC had commissioned THE BEATLES to write a song for
the UK's contribution and this was the result.

(Also, look out for a young Mick Jagger.)



'ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE' is a song

written by John Lennon with contributions from Paul McCartney
and credited to Lennon/McCartney.

It is among the most famous and significant songs
performed by THE BEATLES .

LIVE EARTH Concert (Updated)

I've watched LIVE EARTH, not entirely, of course.
I watched it on msn, watched mainly the London concert,
and here & there every now & then.

As I'm over at the Far East,
my sleeping hours is a bit of a mess now,
I'm between unconsciousness as I wrote.

Anyway a picture says a thousand words,
visit LIVE EARTH @ msn to watch concert-on-demand.

[ Update on video clips ]
I had previously shared on this blog a few concert clips from youtube,
but sadly they have been taken off the tube. So for now, you can only
watch all the clips from their official website at liveearth.msn.com

Visited By The Strange

I was reading the morning papers
while having my breakfast.
The doorbell rang.
I peered through the peephole.

There were 2 men -
Man, they look like twins.
What do they want?

I opened the door
but kept the gate locked.

Standing before me,
the 2 men are of
similar built,
same height.

Both in glasses.
Identical hairstyle,
greased and parted to their right.

Identical black canvas briefcases,
although slinged on different shoulders,
they were held the same way in their hands.

Identical black pants with identical black shoes.
Even their long sleeve shirts are folded identically.

Their shirts are of different colour
but they came from the same pastel family.

The one standing closer to the door,
wore a lavender coloured shirt.
The other standing a feet behind
wore a pink coloured one.

Both have this same grin moulded into their faces.

Freaky.

Are they ....

"Good Morning." The lavender man greeted.
"Good Morning." I replied.

Salesmen?

The lavender man continued,
"We were around this area..."

Environment inspectors?

"... And thought of paying you a visit..."

Government surveyors?

" We came to share with you the future of mankind "


Oh god.

Faa-King Great!

Faa-King Great! Faa-King Great!

Just surfed back from the local ticketing website for The Cure concert,
and found the originally typed concert duration of 75mins was changed
to a cool 150mins!

Better still, my appeal (for a longer duration), along with others,
posted on The Cure official website, prompted Robert Smith
(yeah! the front man of The Cure, yes that same man!) to reply!

"Ha! Try 180mins!!!", posted Robert Smith.

Oh boy, I'm in heaven ~

I'm so happy that l shall share my joy by
posting another music video by The Cure.
This video "Why Can't I Be You" is just great fun.

Friday I'm In Love

THE CURE IS COMING !!!

Excitement & Eyeliner
I can't hide either!

Till then, inbetween days, just like heaven!

All Hail!
