OASIS VS BLUR : The Battle of Britpop

Hi guys, today I have a question for you… How many of you guys know the band “Oasis” or “Blur”??

Yes, they’re my two favorite bands. (again…) Actually, I usually introduced you just one band per week, but this week is special. I will introduce you two bands!!

The reason why I introduce two bands in the same time is there was a big competition between them in the 90s. It was called “The Battle of Britpop” (Britpop is a music genre of these two bands. The sound is a bit like alternative rock but softer.)  Many newspapers in that time wrote about them. The member of the both bands is strongly opposed to each other. The big question in that time is “Who is better, Oasis or Blur?” So, today I will bring that question back… I will introduce you some songs of them. All you have to do is decide who is better? Yes, simple as that, so…let’s play the game together!!

1. Oasis

I think many of you may know them already. There are many top-hit songs come from this band. But, if you didn’t heard them before, don’t worry. I will introduce you. 

- Wonderwall

I think this is the most famous of Oasis’s song in Thailand (Or maybe in the world). It simply beautiful, and never goes out of date. Both the melody and the lyrics are so sweet. I think this is the best song for the boy to sing for the girl he love. Hope one day there will be a guy sing this to me… teehee!!

- Champagne Supernova

This is my most favorite song from them. Firstly, I LOVE the title of this song “Champagne Supernova” I don’t know what exactly it means, but it sound like you’re sleeping among the stars, something like that. The beginning of the song is sooo relaxed. This song is beautiful, totally beautiful. I don’t know how to describe this. You should listen to it, so you’ll know how amazing the song is.

2. Blur

In Thailand, this band may not as famous as Oasis. But this band is considered to be one of the best Britpop bands in the world. There are some interesting tracks from them…

- Song 2

I think many of us may heard this song before, but you may don’t know who the artist of the song is, or even the name of the song is “Song 2” not the “Woohoo song” Haha!! Ok, this song is not a Britpop. It’s more like alternative rock for me. Although the song is short, it is very good when the song is performed in their live concert. I really love to hear the crowd say WOOHOOO!! That is so cool.

- Beetlebum

This is my most favorite song of them. I LOVE the sound of the guitar in this song. It is so perfect and unique. It is sooo addictive. I can listen to this all day. The tone of this song is dark. I heard the meaning is about heroin. Anyway, whatever the meaning of the song is, I still love it.

And the last two songs are “Roll with It” from Oasis, and “Country house” from Blur. These songs are released in the same day and make both bands compete to reach the number one of the UK Chart. Anyway, I’m not going to tell you who win. I just want you to listen and decide it by yourself. J

However, I love both bands. They are all God of Britpop. But, if I have to take side, I think I’ll go with Blur because ...

I LOVE GRAHAM COXON (the guitarist)!! THAT’S ALL!! HAHA!!

No no no, that’s just kidding, there is something more than Graham Coxon. (Although I really love him…)  I think Blur has a stable improvement. All of their albums show that they want to change themselves. Every album has a new unique sound to impress us. It’s not like Oasis, in their lately album show nothing. The sounds are still like their early album, no any surprisingly difference. I know that the first three albums are good, very good. But, I think it would be boring if they’re going to the same path again and again. So, that is why I choose Blur.

Ok, that is all of my opinion. What’s about yours?

Tongue fun ice cream

Tongue fun ice cream

When you think about ice cream, you will think about you young time. Of course, all of you have eaten ice cream. But ice cream that I will show you is quite different and special from ice cream that you have eat in your young time.

This ice cream store is called "Tongue fun". It is located in Yotse Soi. "Tongue fun" is the unique homemade ice cream that different from others ice cream. If you see the customers that eating ice cream at this store, you will imagine that why they can eat ice cream in hot pot. But in fact, this is the ice cream served in a hot pot with steam rising from a pot of dry ice.

Moreover, there are more than 50 ice cream flavors to choose which you may wonder that some of flavors can be really ice cream. There are fruit flavors such as Strawberry, Lemon, Mango, Lychee, Mangosteen, Santol, Banana, and Berries depend on fruit season which you will feel like you eat real fruit.

In part of ice cream which mixture of milk, there are coffee, iced tea, green tea, including flavored "Intense milk" which it is very popular.

In part of chocolate, there is Chocolate Banana, Chocolate Brownies, and the new flavor is "Dark Chocolate Brandy Cherry.”And the special flavor that I believe that you never seen before is "Vodka Red Bull" and "Beer". Which may be desirable for the customer's who like alcohol.

The cost of ice cream is 25, 28 and 30 Bath only. That is quite reasonable for getting the best quality taste of Thai homemade ice cream.

                                                 So, why don't to try it!

TED IS COMING!!!

TED

            Hi guys! ...Today I will recommend the new movie name's Ted. I have seen this trailer for a few months ago. It's kinda have somthing interesting in itself. The movie is about A lonely boy growing up with no friends makes a Christmas wish for his teddy bear to come to life.
Surprisingly his wish is granted.Several years later now and John (Mark Wahlburg)is still living with Ted (voiced by Seth Macfarlane),along with Johns girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis),Lori wants Ted to move out so John can move on with his life,but its just not that easy.

                    Behind the scenes, I have heard that there are various teddy bears were used as stand-ins and Ted's movement were done by Seth MacFarlane, whom I'm very like to see him in sountrack of Family Guys. He's so hilarious and a very talented man. Ted is his first live-action project and also the director of this movie.

                      Lastly, I hope this movie will make you have a good weekend because this movie has such a great special effect and contains many good ideals. It will be on theater on August 30, 2012. I look forwarding to watch it on this Friday and hope you will, too

Don't miss it or you'll regret it!!!

Artist Recommend : "BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB"

Hi guys, today I’m going to recommend the band named “Bombay Bicycle Club”. I’ve known this band for about one year, but actually this band’s started since 2009. At first, I must accept that I interest this band because of their name, not their songs. “BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB” I don’t know, it sound odd. “Bombay” it is like something in India, not an English band. HAHA!

Anyway, after I listened to their songs, I’m immediately fall in love with them! Their songs are amazing. Although they call themselves is an indie rock band, it’s not sound THAT rock to me. After I listen to their entire three albums, I feel that many of their songs are sweet, lovely, and make me tapping my foot, not jumping around the room like any other indie rock band does. They have three albums so far. If you love indie rock I recommend the first album “I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose “. If you love something folk and acoustic, the second album “Flaws” is perfect for you. But, if you love both indie rock and acoustic, the third album “A Different Kind Of Fix” is the best.

Personally, I think Bombay Bicycle club is one of the interesting bands for nowadays. They're still young(the members are about 22 years old) so, they have many chance to improve their album to be better and better. And all of their album that I heard, I think they did it well. So, I looking for their new album. no doubt that they are one of my favorite bands!  

The band members

Here are my top five of their songs:

1. Shuffle

This is the first single of their third album, but it is my first song that I heard from them. I love this song the most because of the melody, especially at the beginning of the song. My friend told me once it is sound like a sound in a game, but I like it. Whenever I hear this song, I’m feel fresh, and feel like there will be something good coming soon. :)

2. Always Like This

The bass line of this song is PERFECT! I LOVE THAT! That’s enough for this song to be my number two! period!!

3.  Ivy & Gold

This is my most favorite song of the second album. I love the sound of banjo (FYI the banjo is a string musical instrument like guitar, but sound different. Usually used in a country song.) the banjo made the song sound sweet. I love that.

4. Lights Out, Words Gone

I don’t know what exactly the meaning of the song is, but this song make me happy. You should watch the music video of this song, it’s lovely. I bet you will smile after you watch it.:)

5. Dust on the Ground

There are two version of this song, the rock version in their first album and the acoustic version in the second album. But I prefer the acoustic version because the sound is more beautiful and relaxed than the other one.

Ok, this is the end of my blog for today. If you want to listen the song that I recommend, you can choose by click play button at the right of the page.(Although it's autoplay...) I Hope you'll enjoy it! Feel free to tell me if you love them or not, or if you have any music recommend. Have a nice day guys! 

Bourne Legacy

Bourne Legacy

           This movie is about Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) CIA agent that has been in the black ops program, but one day he almost has been killed by his own kind, CIA. I think that the action scenes in this movie are very great, but personally I did not watch the 3 previous movie before, so I did not understand the story well. Literally, I did not understand any of it. When news first came that this movie would be a stand-alone of the franchise, I thought this would be better rather than continuing Jason Bourne's story. Even though the setting of the movie is good, the storyline isn't as great as the previous movies.

           However, I think if you already saw 3 previous version before, it would be a really great movie. And Jeremy Renner is a much more convincing action man than ever Matt Damon was. For me, I give 6 from 10.

Enjoy It!!!
