Honestly, I loved the folklore music when I was young. I remembered my nana always singing the folklore songs, instead of the nursery rhymes during my bedtime (Thanks nana, because of you, I’m have a greater understanding about the folklore music).

Oh, talking about folklore, there’s a little woman all the way abroad the Atlantis Ocean who is very pleased to meet you all here.

Ladies and gentleman, let’s put your hands together for Alessis Ark!




Alessis is originated from London, United Kingdom. When she was still in junior high, she had already joined the school band. Even though Alessis only nineteen years old now, but she is a brilliant folklore composer.

Her crystal clear yet natural voice will capture every listener’s heart. Most of her inspirations were coming from books, movies and her personal experiences.

Some people described her songs as the combination of fairy tales and lullaby love songs. Well, if you haven’t hear any of the Alessis’s songs before, then you must check out this “Over The Hill” right now…




Alessis, I loved your British style accent, it sounds sweet to me!

When I heard the news in early morning, I thought it’s some kind of joke! However, after the radio stations and TV stations keep repeating it, I started to realize that Michael Jackson had already left us…

Right now, the whole world is shocked and I bet most of the Michael Jackson’s fans won’t be able to accept the sudden death news of him. However, it’s became an unchanged fact and there’s nothing we can do, except mourning and praying for him.

For those who didn’t know who Michael Jackson was, his real name is Michael Joseph Jackson and was born in August 29, 1958. He’s the seventh child of the Jackson family. He started to appear in “Jackson 5” when he was eleven-year-old and went solo when he turned thirteen-year-old.



His first solo album, Thriller was released in 1982 is the world’s best selling record of all time. Some of his famous songs, such as “Beat It”, “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” had become the icon and classic songs in pop history!

Well, I’m going to leave you here with one of my favorite song, “Earth Song”. We should act fast and do something good to the Mother Nature, before it turns into a living hell…



Lastly, let us pray 10 seconds for Michael and hope he wills R.I.P. in another better place…

The Deviants, Not The Devil!

June 24th 2009 10:24
Guys, for those of you here that have a deep interest on psychedelic rock, then it’s time to open up your eyes and ears, as I’m going to recommend you one of the greatest United Kingdom’s psychedelic rock bands, The Deviants!

The Deviants was formerly known as “The Social Deviants”. Although it’s not as active as it did between 1967 to 1969, but it’s still a renowned British rock band, thanks to the finest leadership of Mick Farren.

As the current leader of The Deviants, Mick Farren always described his band as the “Teeth-grinding, psychedelic rock”. Although, not all people, included the rock fans accepted this bizarre genre, but it still have a bunch of loyal fans that love this stuff.

Amongst their 11 albums, I might say that “Ptooff” is my top choice! Inside the Ptooff compilation, I’m coming home is my favorite.



By the way, I’m leaving you with the music clip, “I’m coming home”. Hope you’ll love it.

Every time, when I am looking onto my parents’ faces, my heart starting to tear up apart. I noticed that my mum and dad are getting older day after day, all the wrinkles and age spots appearing on their body without even mercy!

Talking about my father, he’s a very humble and caring man. I remembered that he always taught me, “It’s better to be the giver than the receiver!” He’s a very thrifty person, and always kept the old saying, “A penny saved is a penny gained” as the motto!

Although my father wasn’t a filthy rich person, but he won’t hesitate to support us financially, as long as it is used in the good manners. Honestly, he’s a very generous person, which he will donate most of his earning to the unfortunate people, especially the orphans and old folks.

To be honest, I'm proud to be the son of this incredible man. Dad, you’re the greatest man in this world and I feel good because of having you. Happy Father’s Day!

Before you’re leaving here, please have a look on this music clip. It’s a renowned song from Eric Clapton, “My Father’s Eyes”.



PS: Frankly, what did you see, when you’re looking through your father’s eyes?

Guys, do you know who Hanne Hukkelberg is? Well, she’s a Norwegian singer and songwriter.
Hukkelberg started to sing and playing instruments, when she was 3-year-old. She’s a very versatile singer, where she claimed to cover many types of genres, such as jazz, rock and free jazz and heavy metal too!

She was graduated from the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo with the degree level. After that, she pays full attention on her debut album, Little Things (2004). This album is a little bit different from other, as it mixed with many sounds, such as bicycle spokes, dish brushes, wine glasses and rain into it (Honestly, I found this type of music is very pleasing and refreshing…)

In September 2006, Rykestrasse 68 was released and has been awarded with a Norwegian Grammy in the same year!

By the way, Hukkelberg also one of the honored singers, which had been contributed a song to the soundtrack of the second Chronicles of Narnia film. Prince Caspian. The song’s name is “Lucy”!



I’ll leave you with the music clip from Hanne Hukkelberg, “Do Not As I Do”. Until then, see ya!

Ebony Thomas, which is also known as Ebony Bones is a British singer-songwriter, record producer and actress (I won’t talk about her actress stuff, as we’re now concentrating on her music).

Well, this lady is very talented, as she writes, produces, plays her own instruments and sing all her own masterpieces (Gosh, I bet she has a very tight schedule, due to all these stuffs). The more ironically thing is, her seventh new single, “We Know All About U” has been created in her bedroom. The single was becoming Radio No.1 most playable single by an unsigned artist

What I loved about music is it has a very wide range of diversity. No matter what types of people you’re, there’s still the possibility where you’ll fall in love with one specific music genre!

Alela Diane is one of the few American singers and songwriter who is classified herself as the psych folk singer. By the way, some of you must be wondered, “What’s Psych folk?” Well, psych folk is the short form of “Psychedelic folk”. It’s a loosely defined music genre originated in the 60s. Actually, psych folk is a fusion of folk music and psychedelic rock. Those music instruments that normally being used by psych folk singers are acoustic guitar and percussion

There are many rock bands in this world, but not all the rock band is as cute and funky as The Veronicas did!

To be honest, I amazed by The Veronicas, not only of their beauty, but their talent in the electropop and rock as well! For your information, The Veronicas was formed in 2005 by a gorgeous twin sisters, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso

Every year, British is coming out with many new singers and majority of them were originated from the reality singing competitions, such as Pop Idol, Britain’s Got Talent and so on (Honestly, I can list up to ten reality shows that related with singing competition, but I just want to cut the crap away).

Francis Anthony White, who is also referring as “Eg White” is a British musician, songwriter and producer. However, he’s not that lucky as other singers, as he spent most of his life creating music for other singers, such as Will Young (Pop Idol Season 1 winner), James Morrison, Kylie Minogue (The Aussie’s beautiful goddess), Sam Sparrow and much more
