I’m a huge fan of Lost (but you know that already), and I think what makes Lost stand out compared to every other show out there is the music.
Since season one, the very talented Michael Giacchino has scored music that not only brings the exact emotion required for each scene, but he’s also steadily composed [...]

Seriously, how can anyone not like love this show? Sheldon is awesome!

The jokes might be too geeky for some, but if you’re a comic book fan, Star Wars fan and gamer like I am. The show is perfect.

Against my better judgement, (I’m still traumatised from the trainwreck that was Heroes season three), I’m going to watch the first few episodes that have aired just out of morbid curiosity, pen my thoughts this weekend/early next week, and decide one way or another whether it’s worth investing my time for the rest of the [...]

Quickly watched two episodes of Flashforward over the last two days, here are some things I picked up:
The opening sequence
Totally something out of Lost. Seeing the car crash and a piece of debris hurtle towards Mark reminded me of the guy getting sucked into the engine in the pilot of Lost. Nice setup, if a [...]

Technically not music, but it does have Mp3 in the title. I thought I’d share a powerful demonstration of what happens when audio plugged in to a crowd:

I missed our 7th month anniversary together because I was in Hong Kong, so here’s a song for the girlfriend. Originally done by Lionel Ritchie (I think), but I’ve opted to go with a more modern rendition by Jason Mraz (actually, more acurately it’s by Toca, but Jason’s in it as well):

I’m stuck on [...]

I was in the car the other day when this song started playing on the radio. It’s exactly 10 years old (it was released in 1999), but I think it’s still as relevant as it was back then. Ah to think I was 15 in 1999.

First off: There will be spoilers in this blog post, so if you haven’t watched the Lost season five finale, don’t read this until you have!
Wow where to even begin? I guess the best way would be to tackle 1977 and 2007.
1977:
Lots of stuff here. Pity Sawyer didn’t kill Phil, but glad he died anyway.

I realise it’s 28 weeks in (just over half a year) that I’ve been blogging these Music Mondays segments, and I haven’t shared my favourite song of all time, by my favourite band of all time.
I referenced Something Corporate in Music Mondays IX (the one with Jack’s Mannequin), and I just thought I’d share this [...]

Rewind back to the IT Show last month (where I bought my kick ass new desktop), I also got the Western Digital HDTV Media Player, which I have been enjoying immensely ever since.
What does it do? Very simple. You connect it to a TV via a HDMI (or RGB) cable, insert in a USB thumbdrive [...]
