excessive blogging disorder.
everyone and everything in thise video just looks bloody cool. Albert Hammond Jr looks hot.
I've a question for anyone who plays guitar(read:aman and shao, since you guys are the only people i know who play guitar who may read this question,heh), is this song hard to play?if you didn't watch the video, i'm talking about 'Reptilia' by The Strokes. I'm not really one to pay extra attention to the arrangment and details played specifically by each instrument in a song, but for the past couple days i've been scrutinizing 'Reptilia', and i've just really noticed the..watchamacallit...(riff?melody?) played by Albert Hammond Jr(the one with the white guitar), especially heard/seen during parts between 2:07 to 1:51 in the video. usually i'm just focused on the trademark riff that plays at the beginning of the song, after that i'm off mumbling along with Julian, but as of late i've been concentrating on the guitars and the solos in it. i know nuts about guitars, but it sounds awesome and complicated. is it?
people to meet during the holidays. i have this vague feeling of dread that if i don't meet a few of these people during this holiday, i might not meet them again after(i'm not saying that anyone will DIE, i'm just saying that we'll drift apart from one another).
1.make plans to meet sal,ina,asiah.
2.make plans to meet dee,
3.make plans to see syefik.
4.make plans to see kak dila.
5.nani, miss salmi, kak farhana.
2 subjects down, 2 more to go!
i keep forgetting what coutry Hugo Chavez is president of. Cuba? no, cuba is fidel castro, if i'm not mistaken. Venezuela? My general knowledge is in the dumps. must check on wiki kejap lagi.
oh, you know what? my college's Triple A night is coming up soon, about a week after exams. In others words, prom night(sounds so much more social-butterfly-ish, yea?). Hmm. nak pakai ape ah? Let's aim for OUTRAGEOUS! with glitter make-up, sequinned dress, the works. yeah, right. if past proms/social events are anyhing to account for, i'll probably show up looking like a wallflower. Must learn to incorporate some va va voom into dressing and style.
OMG!i just found a video of the strokes featuring regina spektor. hell yeah.
i am rambling on incoherently, i'm aware.
must.stop.blogging.must.go.STUDY.(but for some reason, i feel like won't).
exaggeration and tall tales galore

EBD = Electronic Brake Force Distribution in cars, haha. :p
Hmm, Reptilia? The Strokes are not my cup of tea, it's a nice song alright, but I'm not a big fan of them. I've tried playing that song about 2 years back, when I just started playing the guitar, and of course it was difficult, so I abandoned it. :p
Now, after more experience, I can say that the song is pretty much manageable, though it's not something somebody can learn in their early stages of playing the guitar. I'm assuming the part you're talking about is the solo, and while it's not difficult, it ain't beginner's stuff either. Maybe I can just barely make it with my current skill level if I tried, and mind you, I'm not that good :p
Why the sudden interest? Nak main guitar ke? hehe.
the chances of me playing guitar anytime soon is about as likely as the Big Muff Pi turning out to be a muffin :p
but thanx for the explanation. for some reason i'm starting to really dig some of their songs, so i was just wondering what their level of kehebatan was in technical terms.
haha, i googled EBD, and besides electronic brakeforce distribution, i saw Emotional Behavioral Disorders 0_o. how apt.
haha thanks alot Atiqah! you just revoked my memories of this song and now I'm itching to learn and jam it!
the solo's not THAT difficult, I daresay I'll be able to manage it =)
LOL does that explain you? :p
btw, the guitar's a good instrument to pick up and play :D
lol,play it, play it!i think it would be awesome if u jammed to this song. plus, if u can pull off the solo and all, you'd be like, an instant chick-magnet,heh.
i think the guitar is pretty superb, but i don't think i have the talent nor the patience or 'usaha yang istiqamah' to learn it.i've always thought i'd be pretty damn good with castanets, or a percussion triangle, though :p
bah, you know what would make me an instant chick-magnet? Racer X's Scarified. :p
i can play that part edi! just needs some polishing now:)
aman!i checked out scarified just now. it sounded amazing! and that paul gilbert guy, he just seems so cool, so laid back. nice.
you can play the whole thing already?wicked. since i revoked memories of the song which prompted you to play it, i have the right to a live performance of it from you,kan?KAN?haha
I get jittery during live performances, so God knows whether I'll be able to pull it off or not. But still, who knows, right? ;)
its official. i need to register at the university before august 2nd.
u might want to do the no 5 quick.
