Music: Yellowcard

It's me again (no one else knows what to write about, if you're asking). I just watched that program called Out Of The Box: From EMI (after watching Monk). It was about Yellowcard. It looks like a rock band (I don't know much about them). And they were promoting their new single "Lights And Sounds".

That video of the song has some lights like those in Coldplay's "Speed Of Sound". Forget the lights. I seemed to have seen a violin. I'm not sure because my knowledge of these things is very limited. But it's very interesting to see a violin in rock music.

I don't like that song very much, but it's not very bad. Lights And Sounds is also Yellowcard's new album. It's doing quite fine (number 3 in iTunes right now), so I guess people love it.

Music: MTV Ask: Westlife


I just watched Westlife on MTV. It was a program called "MTV Ask". The four lads got questions from their Asian fans and answered them.

I couldn't hear many questions, but those four lads are funny to watch just the same. The funny bits: Nicky suddenly kissed Mark after a question. I don't know why, I couldn't hear the question. Then later Nicky put the card with a question on it on Mark's ear, like some crazy people would do with a pen. And later Mark finally had to fight back. He seized Nicky's ears when he was saying "Welcome" (to the audience). Those two guys, really.

There was one lucky fan from Hong Kong who got her question answered. I forgot what she asked though. Other people include a girl called Janice, and girls from The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, etc.

There were four videos there: Queen Of My Heart, My Love, Fly Me To The Moon and You Raise Me Up.

At the end Mark drew one lucky fan who asked a question to win a signed copy of Face To Face. Nicky tried to seize the card from Mark, but the card accidentally hit Shane. I was totally shocked. My mother, who was watching at that time, was also shocked. But Shane looked fine. Get a grip, Nicky.

Good program. I like those funny stuff.

 

Blog Instructions

This blog has some rules (or whatever you call them). They are set by me and I hope everyone will follow them. Suggestions and opinions are welcomed.

• Every post should be related to our theme. For other things please them save for your own blog. Those unrelated things will likely be deleted.
• Add a prefix before your posts' title to make things clearer. For example, add "Music:" for music related things, and "Movie:", "Book:", "TV:" and so on.
• Post at least once a week (if you can make it) so that we have a good looking blog.
• Type properly. This includes caps, grammar, spelling, etc. If you don't know how to type properly you can use an app that checks spelling (e.g. MS Word).
• Since all of us are admins, we can change all settings and even other people's posts. Before you make changes, tell other members first. Don't make changes to others' posts, except typos and grammar mistakes (saving your friend's face!).
• Avoid Chinese if you can. If you really, really want to type in Chinese, type in proper Chinese, not Cantonese.
• You can add a small picture in your posts. I think that would look good.
• You are quite welcome to comment on others' posts.
• Subscribe to the blog's feed, so that you can keep track of things going on in the blog. I guess you need Firefox for that. But who doesn't have Firefox?
• Promote this blog whenever you can. For example, link it in your MSN spaces and other blogs.
• Enjoy blogging. But remember this thing can waste your time.

This is all I can think of now. Leave your thoughts in the comments.
