Happy Halloween people!

Just imagine these cute, adorable kittens turn into monsters at night. That would be a sight to see! Because you never know. The cute ones, or the innocent looking ones are actually the ones who have dark, sinister secrets.

Yep, just wasting time. Enjoy halloween everyone. (LOL I got like two readers.) I've never dressed up for halloween. I wonder what everyone's costume is?

Mini Nirvana reunion? More like 2/3 reunion + 1 =)

Of course a Nirvana reunion would never happen in this world since Kurt Cobain's tragic death. But reading the news this morning about Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl working together again for the new Foo Fighter's album got me excited. Butch Vig, one of the best producers around and also the one who produced Nirvana's "Nevermind" is going to be the producer of Foo Fighter's new album. And Pat Smear is going to join them too since I think he's officially back as a member of the Foo Fighters. WICKED! It's been awhile since Novoselic and Grohl played together more like 16 years. Although Novoselic did some work with Foo's first albums. It would be nice to see them together play live.


According to Dave the album is almost halfway done and Foo's "heaviest yet." Ahhh, I could not wait to get the album. Foo Fighters been quiet for awhile although Dave has been busy with Them Crooked Vultures. I wonder when will it come out?

Look at them now? (above center) I'm EXHILIRATED!!

Any thoughts?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TOM PETTY...yesterday! (Tom having a tantrum) Love him!



October 20, 2010

I wasn't supposed to forget it. I had it marked on my calendar, on my phone's calendar, on my PDA's calendar and on my mind!!! So that is why I keep hearing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers songs yesterday on my iPod which is on shuffle!! Gosh!!!! What happened to me?!?!

Some fans made their own concert celebration yesterday in NY. Ahhhhh!!!

He turned 60 yesterday! Unbelievable!!!! I used to think that 60 is too old! Now, NOOOO.. At 60 like Tom, you can still rock and look young. He's a legend. Glad I saw him last July. Oh, I just realized something. I think the reason I forgot is that I was still preoccupied with the fact that I missed their concert at the Izod Center last Aug. 24, and I got free tickets for that show. And the fact that their summer tour ended on Oct. 7th. I wana see them again live!!!!!!!!!



They are at their best during live shows!!

Here's Tom having a real breakdown while playing the song Breakdown at the US Fest of 1982...f*ckin awesome..would've been great to be there..



wish they do this kind of surprises live these days..

I'll often stop and think about them: John and John

Happy 70th Birthday to John Lennon

and

Happy 66th Birthday to John Entwistle!

I can't imagine the world without their music... although physically they are gone, the music they created and contributed shows that even if you're dead and gone the music can literally make you immortal to the hearts of everyone. No matter how many years passed, no matter how hard you try to forget (I hope no one is actually trying) the power of music is strong enough to make you remember forever.

Still, it makes me wonder if any of them ever thought that one day they'll be this big especially Lennon (I know he kind of planned it)... I think it's unfair enough though that all the attentions seem to be with Lennon only, I mean I know I love him too, and I know he made a big contribution to the music industry but still Entwistle should get some recognition too... no one can play the bass like he did. I'm just saying...

I wonder what would they be making with music if they are still with us today...and what would they look like?

Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury?

Apparently Sasha Baron Cohen who starred in Borat and played Bruno is set to play Freddie Mercury in a Queen biopic movie. No date is set yet on when the movie is coming out but the production is said to start next year. I think this is a movie to see! Brian May and Roger Taylor supports the casting and are said to oversee the music for the film.

This really got me excited, as one of the articles I've read about this news I don't think Cohen can sing in the movie as Freddie. Its either they are gonna use Freddie's real voice or they are gonna let Cohen sing (he can sing, he's also in Sweeney Todd) but of course, nothing can ever be as close as to Freddie's voice so we'll see. I wonder how this biopic is gonna come out. I've been hearing this news like forever that there is going to be a movie about Freddie Mercury but no actors have been chosen set. There were rumors that Johnny Depp was being called to play Mercury. But nothing was certain. Well, it's about time now. Can't wait to hear some more news. I hope this time John Deacon would participate and come out of 'retirement'.

What do you think about Cohen playing Mercury?

The Road to A Promising Music Career

Happy 57th Birthday to Benmont Tench!!

57 years when this man came to this world. My other inspiration in playing the piano. Actually, I just became interested in him recently. And I wonder, what was I been doing I haven't given him that much attention before. For all of you who don't know, (heck, I wonder if I got readers anyway, lol) he is the keyboardist and one of the founding members of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Born as Benjamin Montmorency Tench III, his road to being a musician is pretty interesting and it kind of stuck to me. See, he was sent to boarding school then went to college. Then on his college break, he went to a concert by Mudcrutch which was then Tom Petty and Mike Campbell's band. And from then on, he became a session musician for different bands. He had piano backgrounds since he was very young so it should not really be a surprise. But, he was a serious student. After being a session keyboardist he still went back to school. No wonder Tom Petty stepped in and asked him to quit school. With a talent like Tench, it should not be wasted. After "long deliberation" Benmont agreed. Haha, if that was me I would've said yes immediately. Now, all Petty had to do was convinced Tench dad who was a Court Judge that "his son had a promising music career." It's kind of like those fictional stories that only happen in the movies. From nerd (I say this with admiration) to being a rock star.

Benmont Tench gives justice to playing the piano and hammond organ. I'm not saying he's the only one though. It's exhilirating to see him play. I kind of see myself in him although not the rock star part. I'm a student nurse, I play the piano, in college but my mind seem to wonder elsewhere. But no matter what's in my mind I still make sure that I do good in school. He just inspire me. That's my statement. For him to pick the right road, I'm still wondering if I'm going at the right direction. Enough with the drama. I wish him good health and to continue making great music with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and with his solos and new supergroup band Works Progress Administration (W.P.A). And thanks for the inspiration.

Here's Tench playing some piano solos:

Those fingers...

Celebrate the Lover of Life, Singer of Songs

Happy 64th Birthday Freddie Mercury!!

Today marks the 64th birthday of the one and only Mr. Freddie Mercury or less commonly known as Farrokh Bulsara. Let's celebrate this day by playing all the Queen songs and his solo works out loud on our speakers. This man is my inspiration, that got me through my darkest hours. I owe a lot to this wonderful singer. I love the way that he sings, the way he incorporated the piano to almost every songs of Queen, his creativity with his voice even using it to imitate a real instrument. Because of you, Freddie, I learned to love the piano. And it may sound cheesy, but I'm really in love with piano. No human being, no man can ever replace my love for the piano and guitar. Thanks, for the music Freddie. Everyday, I listen to the songs, and everyday you never fail to amaze me. That wonderful voice... There's no one, ever, that's gonna replace you. No one can ever take your place. No one can ever be as powewrful, flamboyant and playful as you on the stage. I wish I have seen you live.

Everyday I thank God for creating music. For bringing people like you into this world with such great talents and never became selfish but shared your talents to the whole world. Thank you. May God rest your soul. I hope wherever you are right now, you're still making music. I'm sure God is still amazed he created someone like you. I wonder if Freddie knows that someday, he's gonna make a difference to someone like me. And I'm pretty sure to a lot more people out there. Sometimes I imagine with all the great musicians gone in this world, there's probably a concert everyday in heaven. Freddie, must be needed somewhere else.

I think for this part, I speak for every fans in this world: HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE! We all miss you. With your music, you will always be alive and well in our hearts and minds. Peace.

 If I could only reach you...
