Wow~

Kylie Minogue's 2007 album, X, has been on repeat in my iTunes for the past 3 days. I don't know what it is about it! But I've become hooked on the songs (all but one song, which happens to be a bonus track anyway...) and I'm just glad I randomly decided to check out some of her recent music again. Her songs have some really good flow--I'm feeling even more inspired to make interesting music!

Lift The Fog Up

Here's yet another song I've fallen in love with recently. Shing02 is one of the first emcees whose lyrics really affected me. His writing is often expressive, eloquent, and full of metaphors, which really helps to inspire me both musically and personally... and one day I'm damn well gonna see him perform! ;P

Check out the music player below to listen to Lift The Fog Up, by KK + Shing02 (remixed by the absolutely awesome Eccy). If you're curious about the lyrics for this song, they are available on Shing02's website in both English and Japanese. All his other lyrics are here, for those of you who are even more curious (but maybe that's just me haha). Enjoy~~

Thanks 663A!

663A's MUSIC NEIGHBOUR event on Saturday November 29th was great!! Lots of people turned up, and the response to all the performances was amazing. Thanks to everyone who attended and, of course, to Gim, Kumy, Issei, Mayuu, Yuko, Miri, Hitomi, and the many other people who helped to organize the event and kept people entertained that night!!♥

In other news, there are some new music-related projects in the works, which I'll elaborate on later... also,I'll soon be adding a brand new track to MySpace! Stay tuned~ :D

Music Neighbour Performance!

Coming up on November 29th is 663A's next music showcase, MUSIC NEIGHBOUR! I, along with many other talented people (including deejays, singers, emcees, and dancers) will be performing at this admission-free event. Look out for SoL, DJ MaA, Navarrow, Kumy, Yuko, and many others!

Make Me Sweat

If any of you fellow Canadians have been watching the first season of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, you may recognize the song that I've recently taken a liking to. Make Me Sweat by Basement Jaxx—one of my all-time favourite music artists—first came to my attention a few weeks ago when SYTYCD couple Kaitlyn and Izaak performed a Benji Schwimmer routine. That song really stood out! There's hardly a song by Basement Jaxx that I don't enjoy, and this one is definitely no exception~ Have a listen! :D

It's Decided!

Although I haven't been able to push completely through my music block just yet, A-KICKS and I have decided what to name ourselves!: Full Circle is our duo name! It "only" took us 6 months to think of it haha. ;D

Apart from that, AKA KOROSHIYA is over in Japan now and planning some great music projects, and A-KICKS is composing great tracks, as always... so I'm hoping some of that inspiration will trickle over to me too! The motivation is there, but I need something to kick-start it some more. Let's see where this month takes me!

I Lost My Shoes!

Okay, so they were never really my shoes... they were actually up for auction on eBay. But still! I had formed an attachment to the orange kitten heels over the last days of the auction... only to be outbid at the last minute. haha~ Truthfully, I'm not surprised; this was my first time bidding in an auction, so I'm in the minuses on the auction-savvy scale.

I could go on and on about this (I actually just backspaced a paragraph elaborating on my kitten heel woes), but I'd rather get to the music stories! So! So... well, there's not too much to tell, actually. It seems that I've fallen into a creative rut in the past 2 weeks..! Hopefully I can get that sorted soon, though. I'd love to get some more tracks closer to completion! (Including a certain Japanese track...)

But, congratulations to Navarrow, AkA Koroshiya, Dr. PeaceMaker, and Shige for getting some exposure for their Sweet Girl track! And even more congratulations to A-KICKS for getting some great composing projects in Hiroshima!! Hopefully there'll be even more developments to mention soon--look out for news in the next month or so! Until then, Imma keep pushing myself~ Wish me luck. ♥
