Well, double take attempted the biggest jazz concert by a Jazz Duo ever tried by Malaysians last week.. whats more to say about them... their Christmas albim, probably amongst the top christmas albums this year.. other i would recommend is leaonard Tan's Christmas Album.. both fantastic musicians, and Leonard + personality and looks.. whats more to be said? haha! Mia and roger recorded this album like pure acoustics do it... sort of like Tuck and Patti material... i have to admit, this duo had always played like the books, sounding like what the originals do, mia would do the exact vocals as patti would do and roger would do the same licks as tuck does in his songs... now where does that bring them? But.. musicians evolve as time passes.. and mia has done tremendously well in this Christmas album.. very very MIA for once i say..and Roger attempted mixture of great guitarist licks.. definitely a recommended album.. I would watch out for this duo in the future.. they might be the bridge to bringing up the local music scene.. and i back them up all the way! cheers double take!  

No Black Tie.. newest pub concept in town. Pricey, but quality sound and quality environment. A room with less than 1/4 people smoking.. theatre like stage, and wood base walls. Fantastico! That was where i was last night. Apart for being charged RM 20 for cover, i guess the rest was ok. It was for support of local musicians anyway. Line up was called Acoustic night featuring Endorsed Malaysian Godin Players Albert Sirimal, Richard Lim, & Gerard Singh, as well as Viji on his Takamine and Julian Mokhtar with his handmade steel guitar. Now what more can one ask for then a session like this? fully acoustic.. no drum machines, no drums, no programming, just the player and his instrument. All musicians covered originals and covers... Fantastic mood! Again, No Black Tie has started off with a concept where musicians can plan their gigs there, charge cover, and profit share with the pub. How fantastic right. The turnout yesterday was pretty fine, pretty much everyone enjoyed. Fantastic....hope that there will be a session like this again. oh btw, Mia Palencia and Roger are planning the biggest Jazz concert ever planned by a Jazz duo and they are planning to get into the Malaysian Book of Records. Its a concert not too miss. For more details, log into www.brabonsentertainment.com I think thats the website.. if u cant get in, let me know... and i can go back to my email to research for the site url. Anyway its this Saturday so get ur tickets quickly.. Will blog about Double Take's Christmas Album tomorrow! adios people!  

Malaysia never fail to suprise people with the biggest stories ever..?? Here's the latest.. STRIP search...right in the Malaysian Police Jail... so what do you guys think? madness? or stupidity? whichever, is it necessary? Anyway, i kinda think that this kind of incident only beshames our nation. At the end of the day, people will have less respect for the police force...not get more afraid of them. Instead, once somebody comes voicing out a retaliation against the force, others will stand up and come against them. At the end of the day, the goverment has to do something.. but what? Well, as i know, the government is recruiting bachelor degree holders into ASP's posts.... i believe this is a good move as it will increase the brains in the force.. at least these ASP's can help plan stuff and prevent incidents of such from happening.. My question is? will the government be able to crush corruption? as if there was still corruption, these graduate ASP's will not make a difference. They probably have to lower their heads to the superiors at the end of the day! hierarchy of power u know? Anyway, i think the BPR should disguise themselves as plain clothes officers and nab the police red handed whilst planning to take corruption. Then there will be no place to run and no place to run. Non-th-less, my views normally stays within this window... But it would be good to have a change dont u think? As much as i do not like the law and order in Singapore, at least they are clean and you do not mess with the authorities. At least people are well protected and there is no abuse of power. I mean at least thats what i think.... anyway, have to get back to work! I'll be playing a couple of songs for my alumni dinner on Sunday and i've yet to memorize the lyrics of the songs i am playing! dumb dumb me! adios amigos! btw if ur reading this..leave a comment or maybe just a tag... cheers ppl!
