Of Dls and Censorships

Its been awhile since I did the usual things that I did during the college years. Thus in bright sunny day gloomy silent night,I decided to reenact some of my rather unusual hobbies.

One of the biggest fan of cheapskate-ism, I browse through the charts and dl the stuff that I like. What is frustrating about the hits on radio is that they are always the same people coming up with similar bits to be the mainstream. And by definition of mainstream, Malaysia only can provide you the Gagas and the Biebers.

Sometimes, the hardworking and the best goes unnoticed. People rather go for the eccentric and girly-sounding boys. It is sad that we can't get much exposure apart from the overawed music.

Ok, I digress. Just need to rant there.

And yes, one of my unusual amusement is to dl songs that are featured in movies and series. Seriously, how many people heard of Imogen Heap or maybe Coheed and Cumbria or maybe the Lost Prophets? What about Corrine Bailey Rae or Anberlin?

And all those censored or (sometimes ridiculously)  banned movies. Oh and the TV series that unsuccessfully make it to our shore. Even for those who made it, its usually one season late. Thus, we don't really share the hype that is spread across the world.

And to think a certain ministry wants to setup the dictatorial laws of banning downloads and most ridiculously, the Facebook. Geez.

Seriously?

Ok, going back to me songs and soundtrack. Do apologize for the unorganized post (read: rant).
