Make Noise Quietly.

My Top 10 Artists for 2011.

noreply@blogger.com (Candy Cain) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:11:00 +0000

I had some artists in this list that were already a part of my top 10 for 2010 but hey I just can't help but include them. This list contains a fusion of powerful, poignant and remarkable artists from different genres of music. (The artists are listed in random order)

# 1 Arctic Monkeys. The new sound of Arctic Monkeys in their Suck It and See album was just pure love - a melodic and heavy lament adjuring from overindulgence. They sound seemingly ordinary but they actually brought a new meaning to British Indie Rock.

# 2 Metric. Emily Haines' unique groove is so passionate it takes me away each and every time. The lyrics and arrangement of their music is just moving.

# 3 Tokyo Jihen. Shiina Ringo and the fellow members of the band brought new meaning to Jazz Rock. The piano creates so much melody in all their songs.

# 4 She Wants Revenge. Dark wave is so classic, disturbing and at the same time inspiring.

# 5 Lady Gaga. Her heart is always on the dance floor - open for all the world to explore.

# 6 Amy Winehouse. Heart and soul. The whole-hearted Contralto artist. Powerful and passionate. A legend.

# 7 Adele. I'm not a big fan of pop music, but truly Adele's bewitching emotions in the way she sings her originally written songs are so moving you can actually feel her pain.

# 8 Depeche Mode. Classic, and will always be. I really really love them.

# 9 Ash. One word - quintessential.

# 10 Mastodon. Mastodon's heavy and drenchy music is undeniably stirring.

What's your 2011 Playlist?

noreply@blogger.com (Candy Cain) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:38:00 +0000

It's an annual thing. Well, I started it last year and it's actually fun! I decided to make a diary of my year with songs and basically lines from those songs. Sometimes I just browse through my 2010 playlist and I really find it fun to reminisce important events of that year. It's pretty easy for me to remember stuff as long as I incorporate it with music. Sometimes its entertaining, other times I just hate the song so much I don't even know why I had to choose to associate that song with some thing or someone. In the end, music has played and will always play a big role in my life. I didn't get officially married to it if it didn't.

So here goes my playlist for 2011: 20 songs. 20 unique and significant lines that defined my entire 2011.

(The songs are in random order)

Eclipse (All Yours) by Metric, iTunes Session EP

# 2 "He's fierce in my dreams, sees in my guts, he fills me with dread, so consumed, he swims in my eyes by the bed. Pour myself over him, room spinning and I wake up alone."

Wake Up Alone by Amy Winehouse, Back to Black Album

# 3 "Summer sun says get out more, I need you. I want you but I can't get this feeling off my mind - I want you, I need you."

Get Away by Yuck, Yuck Album

# 4 "Gonna hold ya, gonna kiss ya in my arms. Gonna take ya away from harm."

Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone, Down The Way Album

# 5 "Cause I want it now (I want it now). Give me your heart and your soul. And i'm breaking down (I'm breaking out). Last chance to lose control."

Hysteria by Muse, Absolution Album

# 6 "Fingers dimming in the lights like your used to being told that you're trouble and I spent all night stuck on the puzzle."

Stuck on the Puzzle by Alex Turner, Submarine OST

# 7 "And you are the wolf. And I am the moon. Moon. And in the endless sky we are but one. We are alive."

Wolf and I by Oh Land, Oh Land Album

# 10 "Ashita mo shiawase ni omoeru sa. Mata anata ni aeru no wo tanoshimi ni matte. Sayounara!"

Toumei Ningen (Invisible Man) by Tokyo Jihen, Adult Album

# 11 "Save your soul before it's too late. 'Cause nothing's gonna change my mind. And nothing's gonna change your ways."

Hello by Via Audio, Animalore Album

# 19 "So now we're here and now is fine. So far away from there and there is time, time, time."

Flowers in the Window by Travis, The Invisible Band Album

# 20 "And true love waits in haunted attics. And true love lives on lollipops and crisps."

Hopeless and Romantic

I'm still at work and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed to find my Prince Charming arriving with his steadfast horse; for him to sweep me off my feet as soon as I got down the office. Unfortunately, he wasn't there at the Lobby. Probably because there was too much cars at the main road or he was too buzzed making his body buff and fit. It doesn't really matter actually. I think?

Well, tonight's THE night. Everyone's going out on their respective planned dates and here I am whipping my ass off trying to figure out why I can't assign the value from the dtTerminalFiltered table to the temporary table I created. I really don't know if its just pay day or if its some special holiday for lovers -- nah, its just pay day.

Dream dates are what you make of it. It doesn't really matter if its a fine dining type of dinner with all the fancy meal courses accompanied with a bottle of the finest wine or a simple meal with anything-under-the-sun stories. It all depends on how you see it and how you find fun with the company you're with.

I had to rendezvous with my Prince Charming somewhere near some fast food restaurant. We ordered a fine dinner at some waffle place. The date was quiet but was sweet. Maybe one day he'll surprise me with something but I'm being hopeless about it -- hopeless enough not to expect, romantic enough to fall.

Hungry and Unanswered.

No one's answering any phone calls I make. Odd. My stomach is speaking in tongues. I really want to get off work now.

Where is everyone?

Lack-lustering Tuesdays.

noreply@blogger.com (Candy Cain) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:06:00 +0000

I'm at work. It's tragic - development is slow-paced most probably because the requirements and the answers I get from the questions I ask don't really match. I have no choice but to stick to my instincts.

I have two web services and a graph that I should finish in five days -- and I don't think that I can cover much of the first web service in that period since tomorrow is a holiday and I still have some other tasks at hand.

I think I've grown out of it -- development per se. I've evolved into some perspective I actually am enjoying. This sucks. But oh well, might as well go through it. What's a couple of more hours to spend in my "oh so wonderful" development work life.

Rice Pudding.

noreply@blogger.com (Candy Cain) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 07:08:00 +0000

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
She's crying with all her might and main,
And she won't eat her dinner - rice pudding again -
What is the matter with Mary Jane?

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
I've promised her dolls and a daisy-chain,
And a book about animals - all in vain -
What is the matter with Mary Jane?

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
She's perfectly well, and she hasn't a pain;
But, look at her, now she's beginning again! -
What is the matter with Mary Jane?

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
I've promised her sweets and a ride in the train,
And I've begged her to stop for a bit and explain -
What is the matter with Mary Jane?

What is the matter with Mary Jane?
She's perfectly well and she hasn't a pain,
And it's lovely rice pudding for dinner again!
What is the matter with Mary Jane?

Northern Star.

noreply@blogger.com (Candy Cain) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:41:00 +0000

Oh hey hello, it's me again

I hope it's not too late

It's 3 AM been knocking at your door

Guess you're sleeping soundly

Dreaming..

Of those bright northern stars

We used to count at night before we bid goodbye

And I'm wondering if you're thinking of me too

Oh if you only knew

How much I'm missing you..

Here..

..with me

And when everything's been said and done

You're all I want

And you're all I need

Oh hey hello, it's me again

I hope it's never too late

It's 3 AM been feeling so (alone/ forlorn)

I've been tossing, turning

Wishing..

On those bright northern stars

We used to count at night before we bid goodbye

And I'm wondering are you dreaming of it too

Oh if you only knew

How much I'm missing you..

Here..

..with me

And when everything's been said and done

You're all I want

And you're all I need

I don't feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make.

I don't feel alright because you make promises that you break.

Into your house, why don't we share our solitude?

Nothing is pure anymore but solitude.

It's hard to make sense, feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens.

If someone else comes, I'd just sit here listening to the drums.

Previously I never called it solitude.

And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on.
Blunted and exhausted like anyone.
Honestly I tried to avoid it.
Honestly.

Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stiop.
And now all the good kids are messing up.
Nobody has gained or accomplished anything.

Comforting Sounds, Mew
