[Music] New albums from some old favourites


In recent weeks I’ve been gradually discovering some new music. A lot of it is new albums from some old favourites of mine. In most cases I wasn’t even aware that they’d released new singles, let alone new albums! I thought I’d share some initial thoughts after a couple of play throughs. Be warned though: I’m very much a person on whom music grows. Sometimes, and there are a couple of cases here, I love a particular song or album immediately. But most of the time it takes some time for me to appreciate new stuff. But in the end there’s a reason that some bands are my favourites.

There are quite a few mini-reviews here, so I’ll put them in separate posts and link to them here.
Linkin Park - Living Things
Keane - Strangeland
LostProphets - Weapons
Paloma Faith - Fall to Grace
The Subways - Money and Celebrity
Muse - The 2nd Law

    My tita who’s an OFW in Dubai asked how to get police clearance certificate from abroad; she registered on pnpclearance.ph, mailed her fingerprints to the nearest Philippine embassy, paid online, and got her digital certificate apostilled in 10 days.

[Books] The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, and Age yet to come, and Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a  beginning. And thus my journey through the Wheel of Time really begins.

[Music] Linkin Park – Living Things

Image
Linkin Park were a band I listened to a bit at school through my friends’ CDs, and through Kerrang TV which was my preferred choice of background music during study leave for my GCSEs and A-Levels. I always thought that their music was ok, but not amazing. A bit too angsty for me, and full of pseudo-rap that didn’t do much for what was then a mind focused on either orchestral music or proper guitar led bands. However after hearing the single “What I’ve done” on the Transformers soundtrack, I decided to check them out again. They’ve gone through a bit of a reinvention, becoming a bit more mellow in their sound but keeping the lyrical style, and also become a bit more political. Album cover for "Living Things" (Credit: culturetease.com) “Minutes to Midnight” (from which “What I’ve done” is drawn) was a decent album with a couple of stand-out tracks. “A Thousand Suns”, their next album, seemed to follow rapidly, and again had some excellent tracks.

[Films] The Dark Knight Rises

Time for another film review! This time around I’m going to be looking at second of the three films that I’ve been looking forward to all year, and another check mark on my ‘films to see in 2012’ list. This film is possibly one of the cinema events of the year in fact, particularly for those of us with a tendency towards geek hood. It’s time to look at “The Dark Knight Rises”   One of the official posters for "The Dark Knight Rises" (Credit: screenrant.com)
