now you can see that what i listen to mostly include jazz and folk or something chilled out. i need something to calm me down..  for what just happened to me, it has put a great deep impact on me, emotionally. sounds pretty much cliched eh? sad but true. maybe it’s my karma?

And here goes some mainstream update

• James Blunt – All the lost souls [myspace]
  

am i sold out? probably..

James Blunt is okay, listenable. i used to dislike his voice alot, you can prove this by asking my friends (jane and som) while these two admire him, i’d always say something different.

last month i found myself crazily googling for both album releases by him after listening to that single titled “carry you home” on Met 107fm radio. and after listening to this 2nd album: all the lost souls, i’m satisfied and have changed attitude towards him.

well frankly, i have to warn you, the voice of james blunt can make you cranky if you listen to the album all the way through. it’s like all songs start to sound the same. i kind of love and hate his voice. i like to listen to some certain songs.

my point here is that i want to suggest you these 3 beautiful songs i love off this album: they are “carry you home“, “1973” and “shine on“. open your heart and try listening to his songs.

• Met 107 FM

am i sold out? probably.. that five-month period of soulseek absence explains. hahaha!

i have always had in mind to recommend MET radio to my blog readers but never get to do it for real. so this time, it has got to be listed here! and NOOO i do not get paid for writing this! i like it personally! hell yeah!

MET is my no.1 thailand’s radio station that plays international songs. i always tune to this channel if i ever switch the radio on. champ, my hip friend @fujitsu is the one who introduced me into this channel ^.^  thanks to him. he didn’t really introduce it to me literally, but he played this radio station while he drove and i was amazed to hear many songs i know of (in indie sense) at that time i had no interest in local radio stations, so it kinda inspired me to be more open-minded about radio.

i call it “a channel of diverse music types”. get prepared to hear hip-hop, indie rock, brit pop, folk, mainstream r&b and even some emo punk!

my comment: at times non-stop r&b irritates me, some deejays play heaps of ‘em in one session
