Clowns to the left of me, Joker's to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

I've been looking for this song. For ages. I tend to exaggerate alot.

You have no idea how happy I am to finally put a song title and band name to this, otherwise 'unknown to me' song.


Hope you're having a fab Wednesday!

Twee Like Me

Dear Elefant Records,

I love you.

Yours Sincerely,
Aliah

I love Twee. I really do.

What is Twee?
Something that is sweet, almost to the point of being sickeningly so.

Fine with me.

I love anything and everything Twee. It's happy music for sad people. To put it across blindly. I don't think happy people listen to happy music. It'll just make them delirious right?

Going back to my 'love letter' to Elefant Records. Refer above. I truly need to thank them for existing. For feeding my love for Twee. That's one of the best place to get albums. Twee or not. Especially those that are not readily available here in Singapore. Bummer. I've embraced the fact that I need to spend more for the things that I love. Most of the time, I need to do alot of scouring.

The School is under Elefant Records. No surprises.

You can listen to their debut album, Loveless Unbeliever HERE.


Tell me you didn't bop your head from side to side when listening to this song. Are you sure you didn't even smile for awhile? C'mon! Twee makes everyone happy! Right?

I'm happy.

I FOUND A BAND: Chief

Discovering Chief was a chance encounter.

The awesome thing about YouTube: you look for a particular video. You see similar fabulous videos on the right. It's up to you to click at random. And on days like these - if you're lucky like me, you'll stumble upon a kickass band. My favourite type of activity. Finding bands almost accidentally.

Chief, a four piece band from California is a mix of a few bands, I feel (can't really put a finger on it yet though - I need to listen to them more, I guess?). Not necessarily a bad thing. I happen to dig the amalgamation of sounds in a new band. Well, unless they're trying too hard. Not in this case though.


When you appear
I know I won't be here
I just cant live in fear
Every night and day

La Blogotheque a.k.a one of my MOST favourite music website ever, did a Take Away Show with the band. SO MUCH WIN.
