Urge Overkill’s Saturation

Sugar’s Copper Blue

honestly im totally aware that these are all albums from the 90’s or something. Also, that its quite loser of me to listen to old shit and up to date. I mean new bands like Fleet foxes and ting tings and i dont know a whole bunch of new indie bands and all. Come on, even the indie “old guard” who have been coming to Singapore still falls under that New music thing. The reason why i like these 90’s albums is that they’re cheaper, like u can find them second hand, and the best part is that nobody really listens to them. Its hard to find any intensive coverage on the bands and albums online, look at Oasis’ new album, its every fucking where online, u dont even have to meet the band to smell them. 

 

I admit there’s a fair amount of charm, like reading commando and dan dare at second hand book stores at bras brasah, to this. I don’t think its nostalgia really, its really something fresh, and that’s quite challenging for me to hear coming from a rock world where its all about the newest coolest with bland sexual appeal and hip friends. Fresh.
