I'm a big fan of music, I've always been a big fan of music!
From the abundant availabilities of songs and albums (I only download songs in albums haha) in my hard disk, from the linkings of totally different genres such as classical to heavy metal, techno to swing, even from the normal english songs to other languages that I don't understand such as Japanese and French. Concerts have always been one of my favorite places to be as well and the last big one was the Sunburst Music Festival in Bukit Kiara and previously, Avril Lavigne and yes I went!!!
I love concerts ok!
Well the biggest disappointment was that Coldplay came and went to Singapore and I was too poor to have gone and damn you all for always going to Singapore hmph! Well, that is a totally different topic already haha but what I do enjoy most when there are no international celebrities in the country is definitely our very own, homegrown music!
Yup, our local indie acts!
There are really many local indie acts that can be said to be on par with international acts and of course friends they may be to me and I do not consider them as celebrities, but to others they are and I don't think I understand what I just said haha.
From bands such as Silent Scenery, Brokenscar, An Honest Mistake, Estrella, Hujan, Estranged, Car Crash Hearts to even old schools ones like Too Phat, Poetic Ammo, Butterfingers, Pop Shuvit, John's Mistress and Juliet the Orange, I heart every single one of their songs!
True enough they may not dress like a celebrity, they are too friendly compared to other 'international acts' but that is what makes a true celebrity because, friendliness and just treating both friends as well as fans the same is what makes them true celebrities. Our country's local acts are a pretty small group, where everybody knows everybody but with an increasing amount of fans and slowly breaking into the international scene like Estrella whom is currently touring Europe now and Pop Shuvit who have performed in Japan and opened for My Chemical Romance in Malaysia and in the Phillipines.
So that's why, I have taken it a point to dress like our local acts which is pretty normal in others eyes, but an awesome tribute instead! Or how about plain old boyband looking haha! Or maybe, you will be seeing me in something different on that day, who knows hehe...
