Updated Pandora

Most people have heard of the online radio, Pandora. People have loved it so much that they want to offer some pay to the company (which would definitely help radio licensing costs). So, they have now come up with... PandoraOne. It has desktop app so you dont have to keep the page open to listen in. I think its a pretty sweet idea. Its only $36 a year.. I think that's very reasonably priced.

I just found this, so for anyone who is interested go on down to:
http://www.pandora.com/pandora_one

bye-bye for now!
(p.s. NEW Iron and Wine album out! "Around the Well" I haven't heard it yet, hope its great!)

First Timer

I have been brought up in Singapore; a city and country where blogs have never been too popular. Suddenly when I came up to Boston University I was bombarded with people buzzing on about new blogs they had discovered, and its staggering effect on their lives. After watching my DJ from WTBU (Boston University's radio station) dig up amazing new artists from various blogs, I started to appreciate the culture a lot more.

Now working at Glam, I have found thousands of interesting blogs in only a few days. So I finally decided to create my own. My first decision was what to write about. That wasn't hard at all. Just seconds ago I was browsing through websites dedicated to movies and music, hence the title of my blog.

When people ask me to list favorites, it takes me a lot longer than it should. But here are a few:

Movies:
Based on entertainment and in no specific order;

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind
2. Driving Lessons
3. All the Harry Potter's
4. Many Johnny Depp films
5. And of course, a lot of chick flicks!
   
   

Based on the technicalities in a film (again in no specific order);

1. City of God
2. Citizen Kane
3. Vertigo
4. Blood Diamond
5. Babel
   

Music:
I have way too many artists and songs to pick from, so here are a few from the top of my head;

1. Beirut – A Sunday Smile
2. Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
3. Arcade Fire – I’m Sleeping in a Submarine
4. Postal Service – The District Sleeps Alone

5. MGMT – Kids

So, there it is, a little bit about me. Future blog posts are going to be all about new/old must-watch films and need-to-hear artists/albums/songs.
