Blog Recommendation

Just came across another blogger with so many music recommendation. More in-depth than mine. Please enjoy.

Soundtrack

The best way to find your type of music is listening to the soundtracks. A movie usually needs different types of music for different scenes. So there will be some slow one, so rocks one, romantic one, or just for intermissions etc. “Twilight”  series has a various of choice, and definitely for R&B, Urban and Hip hop, we can find them from all “Step Up” series; modern and pop like “Sex and the City” series, seasonal but also warm and harmony one, can be found from “Love Actually” etc. I guess the most smach hit recent years is the theme song by Hugh Grant and Drew Berrymore from the movie “Music and Lyrics” – “Way Back into Love”.

Quick share – Step Up

Ok this is the song I am listening now, “Show me the money” by Petey Pablo. This song has chosen as one of the background music for Step Up 1, a movie talking about a girl pursuing her dancer dream by her final year project at art school; and how she met Tyler the dancing talent at school when he was giving the community service.

 

I think as a song for dance, the arrangement is pretty important; massive violin backups pushes the song as the perfect one for a group of dancers gathered on stage and doing the group dance. And this is quite a special song because how a rap song like this would have such orchestra ?

 

Lady Gagallery

ICAC takes action to investigate the huge lot of Lady Gaga’s concert tickets. Three-day concerts’ tickets are sold out. I did try few times at HK Ticketing, but for most of the time, like in that one hour after 10 am, I received a boring navy background with white wordings – system busy.

Friends asked me if I really like her that much. Well, I don’t dislike her, but she is very creative and talented. No matter how gross that raw beef gown was, but she dared to try, took the challenge. Like the egg costume, she made the news.

Her music may be, for some people is a copycat from Madonna, becoming a new pop queen; but she is telling us – if you want it successful,  please dare to try.
