the rock show

PowerJam was so great yesterday! Well it could've been much better if the crowd wasn't so inhibited. Thats the funny thing about us Singaporeans, we seem to find it so difficult to loosen up and go wild when a great band is burning up the stage, and yet these same people go crazy when pre-recorded, edited, mixed and generally (eh i said generally, not all) crappy dance music is blared out of some speaker that looks like its needs its own postal code. Much as I hate to say it, we definitely need more ang mohs to spice things up at shows. They really know how to enjoy themselves. Seen it so many times; Baybeats, Womad, Crazy Elephant, Harry's and even Wala Wala's. They're the ones who prance away all night having a ball while the Singaporeans just sit and stare, stand and stare, or at the very least, pump their heads up and down like a birdshow parrot being asked if it would like a cracker. How ironic, caucasians wildy lauding and supporting local music, and locals who'd rather be listening to some gangsta' rap.

Amanda Ling is gorgeous. No two ways about it.
