CURATED MUSINGS

Hello there. I do apologise for the lack of posts. Jac had just recently flown to the UK to further her studies while I've been busy with work. Fret not because there will be posts, and hopefully uploaded regularly (at least once every two weeks). It's just that it's been a bit crazy at our side so please do bear with us. Thank...

As of mid-2000s, YouTube has become one of the most popular websites for musicians to share their music. Artistes have had their careers flourish through the popular video-sharing website and it is no wonder that more...

Image Courtesy of Brooklyn Bass For this week's AOTW, I'll be venturing into the unknown: EDM, or more specifically, trap music. Since this is relatively new ground for me, it's only fitting that I do a review on one of the EDM/trap producers that made me rethink my stance on the genre. A little backstory: Growing up, the narrow-minded self didn't consider EDM...

Image Courtesy of the Kinjaz I finally got to watch the finale and seeing as the show is over, I'll just go ahead and drop the spoiler bomb and tell you who won. CONGRATULATIONS TO QUEST CREW FOR WINNING ABDC SEASON 8! This is after 95 million (yes, you read that correctly) votes were cast and there was a slim margin of 7%...

Image Courtesy of the Kinjaz What? It's the semi finals already? It feels like it has only been a month since they started competing on the ABDC stage. Oh wait. [Edit: I know that this post is a tad bit too late but I've been busy the past few days. For your information, I have yet to watch the finale and am currently...

I had not the faintest idea what sort of material I could touch on that was quick enough for the schedule, and that resonated with me enough not...

Picture Courtesy of Quest Crew This week's episode was interesting to say the least. I cannot put a finger on how I really feel about it so hopefully, after unpacking the events of the episode in this post, I'll be able to come to a conclusion. For this week's episode, the crews had to tackle two challenges, namely the VMA Mega Crew Challenge...

Picture Courtesy of Jon Stone and The Independent (x) Hello there. This is the second instalment of Artist Of The (two) Weeks (AOTW). AOTW is a biweekly series of posts that highlight  upcoming/lesser known artistes in the hope that people who would like to expand their music tastes find an artiste or band they like and support. If you have any artiste/band/person you'd...

Picture Courtesy of I aM mE's Instagram I know I'm a day late on my review post but, accounting for time difference and that I had other engagements, I'd say this is the most punctual I've been on any piece. Nevertheless, I assure you I was no less eager to watch the episode, and when the link to the upload was sent my...

Image from Kinjaz's Instagram I finally got to watch the third episode of ABDC after being teased and spoiled on every social media platform so LET'S GO [hello lack of originality]. Also, and I feel like I should have mentioned this last week, I do mention who gets eliminated while I type these posts so SPOILER ALERT. For this week's episode, the crews' challenge...

Picture Courtesy of Frankie J. Grande's Instagram Okay, so let's be real here. After two episodes, I think the judges need their own critique as well. Badly. To start, I wasn't exactly thrilled when I first found out none of the former ABDC judges would be returning. No Shane Sparks. Not even JC Chasez or Lil Mama. So when Season 8 premièred, and...

Picture Courtesy of Hok's Instagram Just watched the second episode of ABDC Season 8 so LET'S GO. [Note: Jac's inputs are in here as well so if there's no label next to the paragraph, it's more probably done by me, Dan, so yeah.] [Another thing: This post, in hindsight, was really long so in the future, Jac and I will split our reviews into two...
