Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust

I was on a quest to find new music, well new for me at least, so lamely, I googled "good alternative rock bands" and I came across Poets of the Fall, a Finnish independent rock band. I looked them up on youtube, and found this music video. It's really eerie and trippy, but I kinda like it. And I think it kind of reminds me of that movie A.I. a few years back. Anyways, check it out:

Michael Jackson - Heal the World

Long time no blog! It's been forever. Just thought I'd share a little something Music Min did at Liwanag's 9th Annual Benefit Concert last week. Enjoy!



And here's a cover of "Because of Who You Are" by the ladies of eight2eleven:

Simply amazing.

David Choi - Won't Even Start

Another song with a video created by WongFu. It's a pretty sad song, but I guess that's how life goes sometimes. Enjoy.

Drift Away Cover

Back in winter quarter of this past year, my hallmates and I cranked out quite a few covers, and here is one of them. It's probably one of the covers I feel more satisfied with.
Anyway, some background on the song: it's called "Drift Away" by Magnetic North, composed of two members, Direct and Theresa Vu. I think they may have been sued for copyright infringement or something (due to the song's resemblance to Uncle Kracker's song of the same name). Wongfu Productions directed and produced the music video, which is really touching and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsafOstm6H4

Anyway, here's Justin on rap, Randy on guitar, Mitul hitting the guitar to keep the beat (lol kinda pointless actually), and myself on vocals. Enjoy :]

Jaymay - Gray or Blue

Hello everyone! I've been meaning to post for the longest time, but I haven't been able to find time (until now :] ) to post something other than my profile. So for my first musical post, I'd like to share a song called "Gray or Blue" by one of my favorite indie artists, Jaymay. A friend of mine introduced me to this song around the end of fall quarter last year, and I totally fell in love with the song. It's one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar and still probably one of my favorites to play (because it's fairly easy haha). I couldn't find an official music video, and I didn't really like any of her live versions, so I found a YouTube user's video of the song set to a clip from Serendipity (one of my favorite movies :] ). Enjoy :]



I found some other songs of hers on Pandora, and I'd definitely recommend her song "Snow White" if you like this one.


And if you're interested, I did a cover of this song back in January, when I was even more of a noob at guitar. The audio isn't that great, but if you ever see me in possession of a guitar, feel free to request a live version and I'd be happy to do it for you :] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU05NA3cu-o
