By the way, did you hear? There's an International Busker's meet right here in KL. What irony eh. It just reminds me of the time when a dear singer songwriter was remanded for busking. Hmmm.... so I guess it's ok now. Or is it purely for the sake of Visit Malaysia Year. Some smart alec goes..... I know! Let's bring buskers from around the world to Malaysia! So would they consider offering our very own buskers an open mic or stage to perform and then clap and glorify them? Yes, those guys who are regulars at CM or Alor. But dudes, promise us you won't be remanding them later once the visitors have gone home. ;) www.malaysiabuskers.com

Here we go again with Doppelganger Indie Picks. Each time, we select one local and one foreign artiste to share with you. This edition, we are shaking with excitement as we reintroduce two punk acts, both of whom have been around for quite some time. Whilst our Balinese counterpart, Superman is Dead enjoys a fan base of over 5million on Facebook, the other closer to home (we're speaking of Ampang in Kuala Lumpur) has an insignificant amount of but in our opinion, have the promise of being a really really really (as my Italian friend Valentina says) a smashing big band! So the long and short is, the Malaysian band Y2K has been established since the early 2000s and is about to release it's second album. How many albums did Sex Pistols release? Perhaps this article (Sex Pistols' Steve Jones interview: 'We should do a covers album') could be an inspiration to them to reinvent, repackage and just bloody get their band out there more and more and more :P Can...
