there was a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away when i listened to boy bands. GASP!!!! how horrifying!!! yes, i admit it. >< i, nikki kah, used to listen to backstreet boys, n'sync and what not. embarassing but true.

i still remember goin to jien's house with beckie and watch mtv in hope of catching a glimpse of backstreet boys. haha! it was a blast actually. i remember doin lots of stupid things in jien's house. including watch species and that movie with neve campbell and denise richards. was what it called? we couldn't stop laughing during the sex scenes. 0.o
anyway, back to the point...

all these served to haunt me now. haha! but then i was save from the immortal sin of idolizing boy bands and being banished to boy band hell where i would be force to hear boy bands sing their hits over and over again and i have to scream their names and faint every milliseconds when they glance over at my direction.

who was my saviour, you ask? fear not, it's the punk/brit rock bandwagon!!! i was a bit slow to realize it was roaring past me but i was luckily quick enough to hitch a ride on it. and yes, i have decided to make that bandwagon my permanent home!!

it was the year 1997 when blur came out with their self-titled album with the 2 singles that will always be my fav songs' list, beetlebum and song 2. totally bowled me over and change my whole perspective on the music industry. boy bands? to hell with 'em!! i wanna be a punk chick! haha!!

from the loud noisy rockers (korn, deftones, nine inch nails) to the punk HOT rockers (blink 182 [travis!! marry me!! haha!] , green day, foo fighters) to the mellower emo dudes (jimmy eat world, dashboard confessionals, the starting line), i love them all!

THANK GOD for them!!!

p/s blink 182 fans!! go check out motion city soundtrack's 2nd album commit this to memory, produced by mark hoppus. great stuff!!
