It&#8217;s kind of a funny thing; cause I&#8217;ve quit! So do I tell her that I did before and I quit already? Do I deny it? What a situation. I never did consider myself a smoker because I never ever lit up a stick on my own, for myself. It was always a social thing. And I quit that too.<\/p>\n<p>I am heavily in debt- CAVE made a CRUSHing loss (har har) on our last show and we can barely afford to pay the venue and the performers for Acoustica- if Acoustica turns out to be a financial disaster as well, CAVE is going to have to take a break until we get back into the green. If not, expect a new show at least once every two months \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re heading back to what we started with- midrange shows with up-and-coming bands. It might have been abit of a mistake to start approaching already-known bands (not that I&#8217;m not a happy bunny catching WGB and Allura, and being able to say I organized The Fire Fight&#8217;s maiden gig), but we really need to focus on helping those really need the help, and would really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really jealous of Lerping&#8217;s job at LIME. =( Reviewing food, games and CDs? Damn! I&#8217;d love to do that.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"50%\">\n<p>Here&#8217;s some stuff I&#8217;ve been listening to:<\/p>\n<p><b>Madina Lake<br \/>\nmyspace.com\/MadinaLake<\/b><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re something like lostprophets meets AVA. Screamo Pop in a good, catchy radio friendly way. Saw their live shows on youtube, TIGHT! Love the bassist&#8217;s hair. Haha.<\/p>\n<p><b>Paramore<br \/>\nmyspace.com\/Paramore<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Fuckin&#8217; awesome. The Academy Is&#8230; meets Avril Lavigne meets Boys Like Girls. Really great rhythm section, tasteful guitars, brilliant vocal melodies. And they&#8217;re so bloody young! The drummer is two days older than me. I love how the guitars transition from great rhythmic crunchy parts to mellow clean lead; and how the bass and drums augment that. Learning alot from them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ling<br \/>\nwww.youtube.com\/profile?user=ling86<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lovely husky voice that sweetens out into a beautiful falsetto. Tasteful lyrics, interesting fingerstyle guitar melodies, and she listens to Radiohead. Omgee. She&#8217;s going to be playing for Acoustica and I&#8217;m really excited. And she stalked me on LJ! Haha. Hello Ling. <33. Now I'm reading my stalker's blog. You should get a MySpace! You'll get alot more famous, alot quicker.\n\n\n\n<hr width=\"50%\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/armchaircritic\"><b>Armchair Critic<\/b><\/a> will be taking a bit of a hiatus for a while because we&#8217;ve all been busy with exams and all that. You can still book us for shows if you want; but you won&#8217;t be hearing much from us otherwise while we catch up with other things in our lives. The break will do us good =)<\/p>\n<p>Oh, if you&#8217;re free this Wednesday afternoon, head on down to Singapore Poly! I&#8217;ll be taking over lead singing and frontman duties for Marstar, whose lead singer can&#8217;t make it that day. I believe we&#8217;re playing at about 4pm. So if you&#8217;ve wondered how I&#8217;d look as the lead singer of a band, check me out! (and check out the guitarist too, she&#8217;s pretty cool =P)<\/p>\n<p>I just realised <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/visaisahero\">myspace.com\/visaisahero<\/a> crossed a thousand views and plays! I haven&#8217;t been publicizing it or anything, so it&#8217;s quite cool to see the numbers rising. Embarrassing too, cause I sound like shit on those anyhow-recordings. (And a little ego bunny gloats cause it&#8217;s more than my bandmates&#8217;. Hehe.)<\/p>\n<p>But hey, everybody wins! Holy shit it&#8217;s 4:46am. More later or something, I&#8217;m not sure what I was going to say but I know there was something. To remind myself-<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I need to get my passport photo taken for TPJC Student Council&#8217;s board<br \/>\n&#8211; confirm details about Acoustica ticket printing<br \/>\n&#8211; go sentosa tomorrow (TODAY) with the gang<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s Tuesday! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MTV plays some beautiful music after 1 am.
