Would you DIE for a Bollywood Holiday?



My favorite Malaysian English act to date, not only due to their odd band name, Love Me Butch,these guys deserve due credit for the hard work they put through to release this album, everything from the album itself to the videos were self produced, still kicks the ass of most if not all major local bands around. By know you should have also guessed that they write kick ass music.

Cant help but to share it with you guys, this song 'Hollywood Holiday' has been set to auto repeat on my laptop and playing (as of today) in my car so much that i think the cd is starting to eat itself.


By the way heres the lyrics for those who cant really figure out what hes mumbling, to those suffering from literal only blindness it may seem like random unstructured English, to normal people it comes of as a brilliant piece of poetry an it manages hold its own, meaning-wise. Cant seem to get into the right frame of mind to actually right something insightful, funny or downright absurd at the moment.

Catching up with the silence,
oh the silence of remembrance
Stop calling upon their names,
not to wait for their call
And it's all for good,
it's all for good
Skipping all the pages,
truth lies in this vacation
Went through a lot of trouble,
just to get through the rubble
Apart from you, to be apart from you
I'd paint around my house for good
I'd stay with all my heart not for you
 
Can't find it, once we leave it,
leave it all for what...
Well I can't stay forever,
all at different phases
Oh what am I thinking?
This situation brought it down for what
What do I get from that?
There must be a reason
 
I could use some of your pillows,
I'm lying by the beach
With your shadow out of reach,
shadow out of reach
Hey it's all for good,
to be apart from you
I'd break all the rules not for you
Can't find it,
once we leave it all for what...
 
 
Would you buy, would you save
for a Hollywood Holiday?
Satisfying as you say
it's a Hollywood Holiday
Hey I can't stay forever,
all day praying to be here
I cannot stay forever...
 
Hate to be here,
trying to steal
your precious light for a second...
Love to hate you, drive through,
beneath you, scared to leave
you all I can

Those who read the 2nd sentence and knows me personally might be thinking that its impossible for me to play a CD in my car! Its absurd! Blasphemy! Im such a big liar!! As I havent had a CD player in my car for 2 years now!

Yes people, my car window was smashed right infront of my house 2 years ago and they took off with my player which as a consequence resulted in triple the amount of damages i had to pay for compared to the damn player itself. Half of my dashboard had to be replaced and my wiring system was so fucked up even the blinkers couldnt work. Owh, and replacing the broken window didnt cost pennies either.

Well, as of today i grew bored of driving in sheer silence, where my only source of entertainment was hearing myself fart so i decided to pop by a car accessory store which is owned by a personal friend, Mr Benson Lee to take a look at what he had to offer.

I drove home finding i had this installed in place of what-used-to-be-a-gaping-hole-in-my-dashboard:


A Pioneer CD Player DEH-4950, Took me awhile to get used to the various different features compared to my stolen dinosaur of a Sony. I guess the remote feature is pretty standard nowadays but i find it more annoying to change tracks via the remote while driving. Probably something i need getting used too. Anyways its full features include(half of which i have no idea what it is) :

Detailed Product Description
Features
- MOSFET 50W x 4
- USB adapter ready
- iPod adapter ready
- BMX (Bitmetric Equalizer)
- EEQ
- 3-band parametric equalizer
- Rotary volume
- Direct Sub Drive
- 3 RCA pre-outs (front + rear + subwoofer)
- AUX-in (rear)

I may be a car enthusiast but you can spare me the gory details when it comes to audio electronics. Grab me a Turbo and ill show you how it works :D

Well, im still exploring its capabilities but it is pretty fun to use, especially the mp3 feature so i dont have to keep a stack of discs which end up lying allover the car floor.

AND FOR THOSE WHO INTEND TO JACK THIS PLAYER, PLEASE REFER TO THE 2nd POSTING BEFORE THIS ONE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR 'SPECIAL TREATMENT'.

Wow, this posting ended up longer than I expected, even longer while im pointing out the fact. :D

Anyways its kinda cool to know that my counter has reached above 1000, (although 20-25% was generated myself thru publishing) by this blogs 2nd month birthday. Special thanks to regular readers and commenters (<<---as that a word?) and both old and new found friends. Cheers. Signing off for now....

6 died a poetic death:
