Hey 'June' EP

A post for the month of june. UNCYCLOPEDIA-ED . Le Vasiz.....



Hey June (1990) is a single released by Le Vasiz. It is the first radio song to exceed six minutes by 70 hours. Released on a 12 disc single.



THE ORIGINS


In a recent interview, Joel Matthew revealed that the song began when Marvin Jilimin sought to write the longest song in history. He succeeded. Nobody noticed, however, that he cheated and repeated "Na na na na" over and over again. To this day, thanks to the repetition's inducement of hypnosis, not one listener has noticed this. Kinda makes you wonder how we......... No questions, thank you.


Contradicting this, however, Leroy stated that the song came about when Marvin sought to write the shortest song in history. He succeeded with the song "Na", whose length reportedly totaled less than one second, consisting of the sole lyric "Na." (This record was later defeated by preschoolers with the song 'A'.) However, the work was lost when Shahrul recorded over the original tape for one of his avant garde solo pieces.

A few days later, Marvin was too high to remember his original goal of writing the shortest song ever. He recorded "Hey June" the next day, forgetting how the song was supposed to end, and went around in circles, still under the influence of midnight arcane( a midnight mint). The recording only ended after studio producer, Spector, ran out of tape and stopped stealing it from the Rolling Stones. The song lasted 70 hours : 6 minutes : 42 seconds.






The month of June, to whom the song does not refer to, but whose name the song refers to , unfortunately.






LYRICS, COMPLETE WITH ANOMALIES OF THE RECORDINGS


Hey June / Don't make it bad / Take a sad song / and make it bet-ter / Remember to let her into your heart / then you can sta-art / to make it better / For well you know that it's a fool / Who plays it cool / By making his world a little colder

Na na na naaana na na naaa na

Hey June / Don't make it bad / you have found her / Now go and get her / Remember to let her under your skin / Then you begin
to make it better / better / better / better / better / BETTER / BETTER / BETTER…
AAAAAAAAA!…

B-SIDES


1. 'Insert Title Song Here(Silent)' - 0.02
2. 'Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta' - 6.02



Thomas Sam and Shahrul Rezza collaborated for the entirely silent 2-second song "Insert Title Song Here". For "Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta Gotta", Leroy took a bass guitar and struck the A minor 7 chord repeatedly while repeating the word "gotta" for six minutes. Joel, on the other hand, banged in the bass drum in synchronized fashion to Leroy's bass. In reworking the track, producer Spector layered a sixty-person choir, the English College marching band, and the entire staff at Perling lane onto the track playing and singing along with Leroy, creating a rather grandiose effect. As such, film critic Bryant Sykretts himself declared the song to be his favorite track on the Hey June EP.






Hey June made the record for the longest single(in length) to reach no.1 in unofficial music charts all around the world.


What do the critics say ?

" This is sheer.....plagiarism! " - the fab four

"It's the best thing since I name artist of the week 10 seconds ago. Fabulous "-The rolling stones

" It's hard to listen to it without falling asleep." - NME / MTV

Ode To Joy or sarcasm in B-minor

Someone once asked me a wise question about about classical music and its composers of old. It was a Q & A thing you see.

The whole thing started of with this, "Hey, what do you think of Beethoven as a composer ? How would you rate him ?"

So, I answered in a manner of mine, "Well, he's pretty good. I like his poems and vocals. That's all."

Later, another icon was put in question, "How about chopin, he made beautiful pieces, didn't he ?"

Again, i answered but with more elaboration this time, " The guy's a legend. A class musician. Out of this world. I like the drumbeats he made. My favourite of his was that number, 'Nocturne in 16-beat C#minor '. Roll over Mozart, Bach or whoever, Chopin's the real deal with his chicken CHOPs, man ! Seriously speaking. Over a long list of drummers in the past and present, he tops my list, indefinitely. There's not a musician better than him. " XD

UNITED TRIUMPH




MANCHESTER UNITED.
2008 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS !





It starts with "Once upon a time....blablabla.....Manchester United defeats Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in full and extra time.""




Oh my Gauze. The story couldn't get any better, could it ? A fairy tale well ended. It had destiny written all over it. 5o years after the munich disaster . Record Breaking Giggs. 9 years after their last triumph. And the best team Manchester United and Alex Ferguson has ever had.





Let me take you past full time and extra time. It ended 1-1 with both teams sharing the spoils. Ronaldo scored with a glancing header and Lampard scored out of luck, not talent.


There is the whistle !




The 2008 champions league final will be settled by spot kicks.



So, here we go. United and Tevez to take first.



Tevez scores ! United 1-0 chelsea.

Chelsea's ball . Ballack scores ! United 1-1 chelsea


Carrick scores ! United 2-1 chelsea




Beletti scores for Chelsea ! United and Chelsea both with twos.




RONALDO is next .




Shite, Ronaldo misses ! United 2-2 chelsea





Lampard scores ! United 2-3 Chelsea





Hargreaves scores for united ! United 3- 3 Chelsea

It's still advantage Chelsea though. Here comes Ashley 'sissy' Cole.



Ashley Cole scores - just ! United 3- 4 chelsea.



Nani has to score to keep united alive




Nani scores ! United 4-4 Chelsea




John Terry to win it for Chelsea.




JT slips, misses and hits the post. United are still alive !

Pheuww......Amazing ! Heartbeat goes 1000/60.





Sudden death penalties now !




Anderson smashes it down the middle and it is United 5-4 Chelsea ! My word ! It's too much .




Kalou has to score to keep the blues alive.




Kalou scores. United 5-5 Chelsea.



Ryan Giggs to take the next one . What Drama.



Giggs scores ! Great penalty ! United 6-5 Chelsea




Anelka has to score ! It's teeming with rain in Moscow.




Anelka MISSES ! UNITED ARE CHAMPIONS !


I'm almost speechless. One word. YEAH !

MARVIN, JING AND UNITED FANS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE SHOUTING THEIR LUNGS OUT FOR MADNESS. TEARS OF JOY !



John Terry and Avram Grant are locked in an embrace as the rain(or JT's tear) hammers down. Terry's clearly heartbroken and is sobbing his eyes out. Much like a little girl who losses her lollipop.


Of losers and crybabies.





UNITED, of course, are jubilant; Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson are dancing a jig of delight.




Sir Bobby Charlton leads the players up the stairs, 50 years on from the Munich air disaster; how fitting that United should win the champions league in 50th anniversary of the tragedy.

And there it is, United hoist the famous trophy aloft to crown their double-winning season .





" Glory Glory Man. United '



2008 Champions League Winners : Manchester United Football Club.





.....And they live happily ever after. The end.

Putting The False in Falsetto

You know " Live Forever ". I took the 2nd chorus and rewrote the song, all for Brian and his Chelsea dudes. Here's my form of poetry to you blues.


Maybe, Chelsea will never be,
All the things they wanna be,
Now is not the time to cry,
Cause Lampard is gonna die,
Maybe they're the same as Leeds,
Being teams in the bottom tree,
Man. United's gonna "Live Forever".


No hard feelings. It's part of your lifelong club story.
As a lead up to the champions league final between Manchester United and Chelsea in Moscow. Marvin records.

P.S. I'll sing and record it, if Manchester United triumphs over chelsea in this year's final.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



There We Were, Now Here We Are



I would like a 'past' for my next birthday present.
Let's see. Part of our past glories and stories were made and written in the city of KL. Go archives to find them. A lot of things we did then, will never be replicated or copied by any group or school in any form or body in the near future. Nobody could ever do what's been done in KL. Not even us. What more, others....

Even if they tried, they would have to go through a years worth of failing to actually realise there's no chance of replicating our moment of unity and glory.


Enough said. KL's past is a closed chapter. KL's future is a looker.



Just recently, I made a one day stop in KL. And believe me, my one day spent there, had more life in one day than the 30 days the KL guys(who are studying there) spent during their weekends there, in KL. There's a need for injected human life into their coagulated DOTA blood. Dose after dose, weekly. Once their normal, not playing Dota, then we'll talk.



The false in falsetto. Starts here.

There in KL, I made a trip down Hard Rock cafe. Come on. How could I not go there. A rockstar's haven. There's no other restaurant I know that's cooler and harder than hard rock cafe. Seriously speaking.I mean the atmosphere, the food, their legendary 10 OZ burger, the music, the guitars, the frames,the drinks and the TV . Legendary !

There was a lot of it I liked this time. Well, it's pretty much the same as the last. But, the music varies everytime you see.


Of the place itself. I loved staring blankly at the the guitars , the old records, the albums. All of were hunged up, decorated and screwed on the walls of the restaurant. Old models of old legends. Used ones(maube not). Cliff Richards,Chuck Berry, Elvis, BB King, The Beatles, Ono??.....you name it. Signed pictures, vinyl records, signed instruments and old posters. Pretty nice things surrounding you, eh ?

And did I mention their legendary burger ? I had them again. Classicly delicious. Beats TGIF anytime.


Back to their guitars ;



Imagine a guitar that was once there..... (observe picture)


On the floor, beside the bed......No status or name.




And now, being right up there, going shoulder to shoulder with elvis and the fab four . Top of the pops, man .


With the company of a vinyl record . Classic ! Now that's what Hard Rock's all about.







STOUND

Next stop or the stop before, would be the all-favourite J.CO Donuts and coffee. You see, I've only tasted Big Apple's before this, and they were great.
Well, J.CO's donuts and coffee are equally as good, as delicious, as tasty as their counterpart with a slight difference in some sectors. If you ask me, I myself couldn't tell the difference between the two. I can't wait to taste the original now, Krispy Kreme, ?


I came to find that J.CO and Le Vasiz has some similarities between them. Lameness.

I like this introduction. As I opened my box of deliciously made donuts, other than the donuts of course, this was the first piece that caught my eye. Hey, I took a picture of it. So, it must be something. The words ! The Introduction ! The Welcome. " If the merlion could talk.....". Gauze.


You see, the queues in J.Co are always long. Every femtosecond of time there is the same. No difference on the queeue whatsoever. It's constantly long . 1.oo o'clock , still long. 3 or 4 hours later, as long as usual. One goes out, two more comes in. Hectic.


What I ate ? Forgot. I couldn't be too bothered by their names. All i wanted was them to leave something sweeet in my mouth. And they did.




There. All these plus one free glazed donut(which is not in the picture).





All in all, J.Co makes donuts something to drool over for. All the goods are in, but I like Big Apple's more. Choices and taste are pretty much on the same battlefield. The only difference was their price and promotion. They(BigApples) gave me 3 extra donuts after I bought 6 for RM 12. Ain't that great ? Their drinks and beverages were as good as any other too. Almost matching high-profile franchises like Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Lovely.

And for a final punch, my last words on donuts, the former and latter above were alright but not for one in the market. Dunkin' Donuts. Pure shite with a capital poo symbol .







Pheuww..


After a days worth of walking, there's always a place to lean on when you're tired. The Hotel. I stayed cheap this time. Tunes hotel. The red and white one.







It was okay. Their facilities, rooms and all. But there was one moment, a stilled image of theirs that really killed my stomach muscles and fractured my jaws real bad . No, they didn't but what I saw, was eye-catching enough to catch my attention. So here it is....

They have one in the pocket that's never to be seen in the lifts of others, in KL and the world.



A picture ad of pure lamity with lame written all over it.






And probably something I and Ko would have done if they didn't do it first.










Ah.....The ad in the lift. Their lift's wallpaper !



Gauze.....sure we will.












Bye.

<<

Some words have double meanings. Symbols too.

For example, that "<<" symbol on a subjected attire or uniform would have meant the rank of a corporal. But on a CD / DVD / MP3 / Ipod / XBOX 360, it brings a whole new meaning in the theme of going back. Rewind. Rewind. Reverse.


I'd love to do that now or later probably. Maybe, someday I Will. Who knows ? But logic always seems to be there to stop me. My road block. My stop sign. Stops my fantasied progress of far imagery. Hits me between the eyes where it hurts the most. Hurtful, to know that dreams are what i've become, or would never be. Only for yesterday's worth. And above all, the need to succumb to a saying/song, 'all things must pass'. Nevermind.



Watch the video. Coldplay related. The next time I get a chance or rather 'we' do. We should give this a shot. Attempt on greatness.




Warning signs. Matters all the time.











The song suits the whole 'mood' too. Goodbye.





Lost, a direction of no purpose nor cause,
Lost, begins with a puppet, of many
flaws,
Lost, a show, a song, a valued force,
Lost, you're not, when Man. Utd wins and chelsea lost.

Coldbeats

I believe coldplay are looking more like the fab four now with their upcoming 4th LP. The most anticipated album this year, surely(something only oasis could rival). Here are the reasons.

One, the utilisation of studio experimentation was a formula used by the beatles in their 67-68 period. They landed their best selling album with that formula. Hopefully coldplay does too.

Second, they had a fallout in the band even before LP 4 recording started. Aint that sounding familiar ? So beatles. Thank god, they manage to pull things together for the sake of good music. Amen to viva la vida and to 'st.peter' ?




Third point would be.................














to be continued.

Viva La Vida or Me and all his friends

Viva Le Vasiz. Viva la SPEC.


I'm dropping off something here before I make it through the EXIT.

A post for you and you and me and we and them.


A sad ending to an end of what was a start of a day. Parting ways.

As time went on, one left after the other. Out goes a light. One left for another.Candle lights went out. A few more left. Left are the few till there was no more. The last gasp of life, hush are the lights of only four. Before you know it, there was, is there anymore ?

Drew me closer, were spoken words, of today for tomorrow's worth. For a purpose, we look back, 'success' was a dream we always had. A dream we loved, cared and shared. Present in our heads are the moments we had. Backdate the dates, to no avail, why'd you bet if it always fails. If growing up and leaving is part of life, then coming together was a sign of life. Memmories, we saw. That's all there is....There isn't anymore.




I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world






I know. From the experience of others and mine, I'm aware that blog music's a bad thing. Awfully bad, I presume (To be honest, I usually moused myself out from a random blog that put's his/her music on autoplay. Can't stand their rubbish) But I also do know, that you would forgive me. For this and for my actions of playing viva la vida on auto. I know you would, cause there's always room for good music in this blog. The writers do as well. ( I made it manual )













So, I guess I shall end it here. Need I get back on packing ? Yes. It's not some small trip I'm on, you know. Will I miss 'now' ? Yes. So much more to say but hey. Tomorrow morning, I'll hit the roads. Running. I'll be going back to.......











The past. So long...Bye




















There we were . Now, here we are. Thank you.

I WANNA LIVE IN A DREAM IN MY RECORD MACHINE

This has got to be music download month !





Beyond belief.




Those are the two words to describe the phenomenon happening in the music downloading business right now.









The biggest week of downloading music since the BC's , AC's or whatever C's(well,the best c in the world is the c for coldplay of course) is here. It's also a breathe of fresh air to finally being able to indulge yourself with a blend of good music once again.








COLDPLAY !!!







OASIS!!!




No. I'm not being oblivious of other kinds and genres of music out there, the ones that are around you and me. I'm not neglecting other bands or other forms of music out there. I don't hate the radio because they play shite tunes everyday. I don't hate american music(maybe a bit) . I don't think today music is that bad. I have to admit, some are pretty good. But at this moment of time, when you put ear and thought to it, it's simply hard to ignore the superiority of these two british bands(coldplay & oasis) when compared to others.




Take a weighing tool. Like the ones in your physics book. Oh, nevermind, use the barisan nasional symbol instead. Lets start experimenting. Put coldplay or oasis or both on the right plate, and put any other random band, artist or musician on the other. Pick a right scale. Then observe. Results will show a huge marginal tilt to the right. For precision, consistency and accuracy, repeat it all over again. 10 times out of 10 you'll get the same answer. Unless you put beatles on the left of course. The fab four are too legendary to be contested. Conclusion : There is a border/line between great and good music. In this case, the great was on the right of course.







Okay, enough of that. I'll get back on a hard day's morning night of searching and downloading.











First stop.





I said what I said for "Violet Hill". Fantastic song.


A Spell a rebel yell

Then, in a continuous format, 'A spell a rebel yell', which is a B-side to 'Violet Hill' . 'A spell....' is another different and abnormal tune of theirs. Once again, they've gone out of their safety zone. Difference made prominent by their new profound love for studio effects and experimentation. The reverse tape being the most obvious here (the song rhythm). Not the best of melodies in this number, but the experimentation should be applauded. Worth a listen,still. Guess it only deserved a B-side. Thank gauze for that.

Viva La Vida

Next. A grandeur. A swift-moving minimalist orchestra. 'Viva La Vida'. As in the song itself, not the album. A new single from their new album of the same title(part of it though). Released by iTunes, just yesterday. So what's it all about ? Okay, if the last two didn't possess the 'whoa' factor you expected of them, then this definitely will, no maybes. It's the most commercial, light hearted and anthemic number since anything they've ever created. Get's the world singing along in no time. Good song for the rafters. Resoundingly good like past anthems , coldplay executed the track with perfection, sounding a collage of collective sounds and instruments. Mixing part of their old remedies and some of the new formula. The frisky violins, jaunty pianos, melodious strings, electronic-sounding synthesizers and almost hidden guitar riffs made it a song to love and to enjoy as you carry out your long daily exercises of living life to the extent. Long live life.'Viva La Vida' provides listeners with a scent of unity, togetherness and an element of day-dream cum imagery that we long for. A story in its own write. It endears a sound for the big events. Very world cup-ish.Who knows? Euro 2008 might take this into account. That'll be nice. Overall, it's my favourite among the new stuff and has surely reignited my love for them . I like coldplay's idea of going the lengths in trying to change the phase of music. Brilliant.




How does it sound?

Pretty good, and it is a stronger cut than "Violet Hill." It opens with a triumphant string melody, and it's the violins that carry much of the song. It's a cleaner-sounding cut than the more aggressive "Violet Hill," but it still glides along with an urgency not heard often enough in Coldplay's music.
Moments later the song gets more interesting, with a flash of rhythm momentarily sending a more electronic-sounding beat to the background. References to Catholicism grace the song, and Martin repeatedly declares that Saint Peter will be calling his name.


But never mind the biblical nods. The song further reveals the Coldplay of "Viva La Vida" to be a hungrier, more interesting band. Indeed, as the song builds, strings disappear into a twittering of electronic atmospheres that bridge the verses.




From Coldplay, we move on to the biggest thing ever since the beatles, Oasis.

Without a doubt, Oasis are still a force to be reckon with. Making it big, producing timeless tunes, giving your life something to live for. The same band that made cool Brittania hot and brought you hits like the english anthem we all know, "Don't look back in anger", the impossible is nothing " Live Forever", and that I never get tired of song,"Wonderwall". Yes, they're album's coming out in september but before that, a few studio demos had leaked out. And two or three of the tracks might be listed into their album setlist. I'll give you a heads up on two of them

"I wanna live a dream( in my record machine)"

It's already a classic in my opinion. Having that clean sound in the beginning which later evolves to the sounds from "standing in the shoulder of giants". It has the elements of their last album with the acoustic guitar but also oasis tunes of old with the solo in the middle eight. Again, noel gallagher's ability to appeal and breathe dreamery to the public eye is astounding. Pronouncing hope, making us feel one with the millions, living a positive lie, defining working-class, all we ever wanted is to dream and this song does it distinctively. Better still, if it's in a record machine. One word : Mind-blowing.


Stop the clocks

Great title. Took words out from my mouth. The same words uttered every single day of my life. Stop the clocks,man..... I need a break. A melancholy number with a sincere shout to the almighty in a request to grant him a world he could turn around. Like a book, stopping the clocks would be like putting a bookmark in between pages. You stop time.That's what I get at least.
When the night is over, they'll be no sound. Great lyrics. What else can i say about "Stop the clocks"? Blood brilliant. Another classic.

Nothing on me

An okay song. It didn't get me off my seat though. An All rocker tune. Rough vocals by LIAM. Still, a listen, you should.















There. Point and post made. I'll be dreaming.
