Jeng-jeng, Yeh-yeh, whoo!

I should don a scarf and get a mod trim after yesterday's Bazooka gig at Laundry, but in retrospect, I'm unable to see how much life there is left in the retro-revival. It was alright for the first few years, but now it's burning twice as bright, which means that it'll be snuffed out twice as quickly. Seeing how it's only reaching adolescence after a hard infancy here in myopic Malaysia, it's still good...but (possibly ruffling Lezel's feathers here) Bittersweet are not the greatest band in Malaysia...simply because Sic was ahead of its time in looking back to the future.

Though it's rather belated, I'd choose the following ten songs for a setlist for a nice, intimate Valentine's gig.

1. Lenny Kravitz - I Belong To You
   
2. Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
3. Al Green - Let's Stay Together
4. 311 - Love Song (and not the Cure original)
   
5. The Police - Every Breath You Take
6. U2 - The Sweetest Thing
7. Sheryl Crow - D'yer Mak'er (and not the Led Zep original)
8. Morrisey - The More You Ignore Me
9. INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
10. The Beatles - If I Fell

It's either considered eclectic or pure rubbish. But I think a Valentine's gig should represent all the different factions in the game of...love: the loved, the forlorn, the lonely and the stalkers.
