top 13 tracks of 2013
2013 was a special year for me – not only that I met Pet Shop Boys in person, but also that most of my favourite bands released studio albums. Pet Shop Boys released an album merely a year after “Elysium”, and it was a far better one too. Basildon folks of Depeche Mode, Alison Moyet, …

[Pet Shop Boys Jakarta] The Concert
It was a warm Saturday night in downtown Jakarta – the people were celebrating the country’s independence by day and I was celebrating Pet Shop Boys’ first ever concert in Indonesia.

[Pet Shop Boys Jakarta] Upon Meeting Neil and Chris
“Can I give you a hug?” That was the question I asked Neil when I met them that Saturday evening. Prior to the meet and greet session, my friends had been asking me what question I would ask to Neil and Chris when I meet them. I didn’t know. I was even too nervous to …
[Pet Shop Boys Jakarta] I Wouldn’t Normally Do This Kind of Thing

my top 100 of 1997
A couple of weeks ago I found an old book of mine that contained a list of music videos I had seen on the telly (either MTV, channel [v], or even local channels) and in one of the pages I also found this list: The Top 100 of 1997. It consists of some really nice …
[mixtape] dancing deadlines
Working this weekend? Need to finish your work before Monday? Then maybe you can have a listen to this mixtape. I call it Dancing Deadlines – because it gives me the energy to accelerate my work when I have a tight deadline. But at the same time, when I need a short break, I can …
