A Tribute to My Chemical Romance - the best damn band for me thus far

The first song I heard by My Chemical Romance was 'Helena', a song written for Gerard's deceased grandmother. It played frequently on radio and TV. While the melody was nice, the video interesting and  the lead singer pretty cute at that time, I did not pay anymore attention to MCR.

Then I was 15, and 'Welcome to the Black Parade' came on the radio. With its piano introduction, raw vocals and marching band sounding undertone, my interest was piqued. I went on to watch the music video repeatedly and then to buy their album 'the Black Parade'.

On the way home I played the CD in the car -not the best idea when my mum was driving, she called it the usual, 'garbage', 'noise'- and skimmed the lyrics and photographs. People in black, white, red, pale faced and morbid feeling was the theme.

At 12 I wore black baggy clothes and even baggier pants which my mother loathed,  while listening to Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park as was what was 'acceptable' then among my peers. They grew out of it in middle school and I felt pressured to do the same. I traded the black for brighter hues but secretly wished I could go back to it.

As I started listening to 'the Black Parade', watched their videos, paid attention to the lyrics, I learned that MCR was embracing the idea of death, mostly by cancer like it was a mystical, romantic thing. My mum threw out the lyrics that came along with the album for fear that I would be too much influenced by their 'bad vibe' and follow the footsteps of the girl from London who committed suicide after listening to MCR for a fortnight or so.

I brushed off that ridiculous piece of news while continuing to find peace in MCR's music while hundreds of the MCRmy took to the streets in a protest declaring that MCR's music was not a bad influence on children, at least not to the extent of causing them to kill themselves -it was the girl's mental state that led to such severe and unpredictable consequences.

I think I can attest to that. I never once in my life had any remotely suicidal thoughts. In fact, by dwelling so deep into just their music, I improved my piano playing skills to accompany my singing their songs. I went back to wearing black as I was comfortable in it, I was still a pretty cheerful person and most of all, because MCR considered themselves outcasts (awesome ones, all the same), I felt comfortable with who I was and peer pressure had nothing on me since then.

I attended their concert here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the end of 2009. 3rd December, my first ever rock concert. My two younger cousins came along, and we were chaperoned by my parents. They'd rather have their eardrums burst than have us go to a possible mosh pit on our own.

In the end, my parents had an amazing time and were yelling 'encore' at the end. The embarrassment I felt was overwhelmed by the fact that they could see why MCR was so important to my cousins and I.

After the concert, my craze for Gerard Way grew as did my cousin's for Mikey. We learnt a lot about the band's history thanks to suggested videos after suggested videos by YouTube.

We proceeded to buy 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', 'The Black Parade is Dead' and 'Danger Days'. ' I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' was not and is not available in music stores here so I listened to that online. Will get 'Conventional Weapons' as soon as I can.

When I heard of the band breaking up yesterday I felt my heart drop. I frantically searched the internet for news swatting this rumour away but alas, I was in for disappointment. As I rushed to my sister to say the words, 'MCR is breaking up', I felt my eyes well up with tears.

None fell, but the thought of me never getting to hear music uniquely theirs anymore tugged at my heart. I still harbour hopes that they'll be back together one day and I'll be jumping and squealing when I get the news.

Until then, here's what I have to say:

MCR, you've provided the most influential music in my life that helped me feel comfortable in the skin of that awkward person I was in high school.

Many of my friends shunned your music because it was 'emo', 'bad for the soul' or 'not popular'. I'm sorry they did not get to feel the brilliance you weaved into your songs.

Gee, you're a funny guy who's the center of attention on and off stage. I wish you well with your young family <3

Mikey, you awkwardly hot bassist, keep rocking on with those small nods you do when you play. Please don't ever fall down on stage again.

Frank, keep being that hot crazy guitarist spinnin' round on stage and looking badass.

Ray, you're the epitome of cool + talent when you're there harmonizing for Gerard and your fingers blazing up and down those frets. Rock on.

Bob, you were missed in Danger Days, but you're that cool underdog behind the drums.

Forever your Killjoy and in your MCRmy <3

Introducing: EXO

An introduction to EXO

It's been a little over a year now since I've begun dwelling in the depths of K-pop music, and almost a year since the 12 boys of EXO stole my heart.

Currently the latest group SMEnt (an entertainment company) dished out, EXO is made up of 8 Korean members and 4 Chinese members. They belong to 2 subgroups, EXO K (K for Korean) and EXO M (M for Mandarin).

Their debut album was a mini album called MAMA and it was released in both Korean and Mandarin


Three singles were released from MAMA, the first was 'What Is Love', followed by 'History' and then the album title track 'Mama'.

What Is Love - This song has a very unique sound that departs from the K-pop norm. It waxes lyrical about love and what it entails and is sung by the two lead vocalists of each group. The strong vocals and simple but incredibly exotic sounds of the song made me love it. The highest note in it is a freakin' F which even I wouldn't dare attempt if not after strenous warm-ups; Baekhyun (Lead vocalist #1 in EXO-K) and Chen (Lead vocalist #1 in EXO-M) seem to do so effortlessly.

History - The dance choreography is very catchy and complex. At first viewing, the shaky-hands-in-pockets seemed more silly than cool but after I learned the dance from slowed videos, I was happily shaking away :D

Mama - This song is really amazing, in my opinion. It's the first MV I actually downloaded after watching it countless of times on Youtube. The melody, storyline of the video and choreography is amazeballs. It exhibits each member's assigned 'powers' and boasts strong vocals and fluid movements from the boys. The only downside to the video is the introductory story. Funny stuff. The violin in this song gives it a dramatic feel in addition to their Gregorian chanting. In other words, this is the epitome of the drama and talent K-pop has to offer -I was then hooked on EXO.

There are 3 other songs which all deserve a listen -the songwriters of these 6 songs really know what they're doing.

Machine - A song about a girl whose heart is cold as ice. The melody is catchy and everything about it, from the feel to its instrumental timing is jizz. This is the one song EXO -unfortunately- has never performed live.

Two Moons - This song is designated to show off the rappers' talents with not much singing involved. SHINee's Key is also featured in its English rap section.

Angel - A beautiful song about love and its innocence. A nice song to sleep, study or walk alone while listening to.

EXO-K

Suho - Leader of EXO-K, 22, lead vocalist #3, Korean, looks like Siwon from Super Junior, cares for his juniors in EXO-K like a dad should.

Baek Hyun - Lead vocalist #1, 21, Korean, rocks eyeliner, has a good sense of humor, has nice-looking hands, very easily liked because of his easy-going personality.

Kai - Lead dancer #1, 19, Korean, obviously SMEnt's favorite, naturally attractive to non-k-poppers, has a finger on every pie; singing, dancing, modelling, rapping.

Sehun - Lead dancer #2, 19, Korean, the youngest in the whole of EXO, has an adorable lisp, conceals his sense of humor and the most babied member.

D.O. - Lead vocalist #2, 20, Korean, has huge eyes, deemed the mother of the group by fans, cooks, beatboxes, is very adorable.

Chanyeol - Rapper, 21, Korean, has model-worthy looks but laughs maniacally, the tallest in the group, has a deep voice, beatboxes, plays drums, guitar.

EXO-M

Kris - Leader of EXO-M, 23, Chinese+Canadian, Rapper #1, looks like an anime character, dances badly, lady killer, is super tall (187cm).

Lay - Lead dancer #1, 22, sings, plays guitar and piano, composes songs, Chinese, loves his mum, beatboxes.

Tao - Kung fu person, 20, dubbed Kung fu panda by fans, Chinese, raps, naturally looks like a bad boy with those distinctly Chinese eyes and killer smile, youngest in EXO-M.

Luhan - Lead vocalist #2, 22, Chinese, plays football, love ManU, lead dancer #2, easily likeable and has bromance relationships with everybody.

Chen - Lead vocalist #1, 20, Korean, is always smiling and laughing, dubbed the 'dancing machine' as a joke, as far as previous performances have gone, speaks bad English.

Xiumin - Vocalist and dancer, 23, most underestimated and under-roled member in the whole group, plays football, dubbed 'baozi' meaning steamed bun in Mandarin because of his adorable-ness.

My biases are Lay and Baekhyun, just in case you're wondering :)

Anyway, here is the link to my cover of Mama by EXO. Lemme know what you think :D

We Are One ! (Y)

Why we need feminism

Why we need feminism. In India, Malaysia and the rest of the world.

The first thing that comes to the mind of most people -mostly male, I have good reason to believe- when they hear of 'feminism' are visual images of fierce, angry women extremists demanding that men hold open doors for women and that they carry heavy shopping bags for them. But feminism is so much more beyond petty accusations that men do not respect women if they don't put them up on a pedestal. 

The Oxford dictionary defines 'feminism' as the act of women wishing for equal rights between men and women, and the fight for it.

I'm a 5 ft 7 Asian girl born into a middle-upper class family in Malaysia in the late 21st century, where gender bias is a laughing matter in politics but not serious enough to actually cause any uprising or gender-related protests. Growing up here as young girls and boys have generally been comfortable, there're no wars to battle or strikes to support except the occasional political affairs.

But enough about me, there is a more pressing matter at hand.

If you haven't heard about the recent New Delhi rape case which happened in late 2012, here are the brief facts: The victim and her boyfriend boarded a bus to go home after watching a movie together when the boyfriend suspected something amiss when the bus took a different route from the norm. When he questioned the 6 other men in the bus, they started beating him with an iron rod. When he was unconscious, they gang-raped the victim in the back of the bus. The victim fought back by hitting and biting her assailants and they battered her with the iron rod. They also violently inserted the iron rod into her body and they pulled it out later with such force that her intestines came out along with it. The youngest of the culprits, a minor also used his bare hands to rip out her intestines. When they were through, they dumped the couple onto the road and the bus driver tried to run the victim over but her boyfriend pulled her away in time. They were sent to a hospital and afterwards, the girl sought medical attention in Singapore where she died later, having only 5% of her intestines remaining in her body.

The victim: Jyoti Singh Pandey

Gruesome, isn't it? And you're only reading it, not experiencing it. 

Reading this piece of news made my eyes well up with angry tears. Of all the ridiculous things that people do to hurt others, this is by far the worst I have heard of.

Dubbed the rape capital of India, cases of rape, molestation and just outraging of women's modesty occurs on a daily basis in New Delhi. And why? Why is it that in a country infested with such heinous crimes and criminals, nothing is done by the able government to correct it?

The first hurdle, is the attitude of the society, both men and women. When victims lodge a police report, much like many other places in the world, the police asks the victim, 'Are you sure?'. Imagine, you just got violated by another being you wanted nothing to do with, your most intimate parts, forcibly seen and touched by another, and here the supposed men of justice are asking you if it was all in your head. In India, many victims have been blamed by the police for not dressing decently or for not staying at home WHERE ALL GIRLS BELONG. Some even ask the victims to marry their rapists, so the problem is settled. You just died on the inside and your pride, privacy and body has been through unwarranted physicality by someone you will absolutely hate for the rest of your life, you want them dead and the police asks you to marry them. Your family and friends are no less unsupportive. You have shamed them by getting raped. Why did you have to go and get raped?

The other obstacles are not much different. Tier after tier of society, the root of this injustice is how women are viewed in the eyes of the people. 'It's always the woman's fault.' This line has had it's fair share of space in the papers, constantly on the lips of ignorant politicians, and recently, spiritual gurus in India.

Asharam Bapu

Asharam (pic above), a spiritual guru in India has said that the girl was at fault in this rape case, saying that she should have chanted God's name and fallen at the feet of the attackers to stop the assault. Alright, so she might not have been as religious as she should be when at the mercy of 6 heartless monsters, but Asharam, is that justification for her untimely, excruciatingly painful death?

Jyoti (the victim) was a 23 year old medical student interning in physiotherapy and she was probably going to get married too. But all that bright, happy future for an ordinary girl whose dreams is just like everybody else's, dashed in a heartbeat, and for what? So that 6 men could do unspeakable things which can only be the stuff of Satan's dreams and escape the law due to the faulty upholding of it and horribly corrupted judicial system in India?

Jyoti's dad can now only pray that his daughter's passing will awaken India and new legislations will be put in place to safeguard the rest of India's women and put those guilty behind bars.

As you read this, there is hope for Indian women yet; lawyers, students and infuriated people from all walks of life have gathered in mass protests in India, demanding a safer country for all.

However, amidst all the fighting spirit this social storm has garnered, the criminals are currently in proceedings where their lawyer has pleaded not guilty and depending on how long the judges take to come out with the verdict, the biggest fear is that all this enthusiasm will die away and India will once again be back to square one.

A few other countries like the States have released statements to the family offering their condolences while Ban Ki Moon from the UN has condemned the horrific incident. I sincerely hope Malaysia will in some way reach out to the grieving family as well as support the movements in India.

I'm just a 20 year old girl studying her law degree with dreams of becoming a Human Rights and Environmental lawyer in the future. I cannot participate in their protests nor can I reach out to them physically but I've been touched by this story and the fight for just the most basic rights for women there. Neither do I have a big audience, but I'm doing all I can and I hope to spread the story of Jyoti and the struggle in India to anyone I can. I hope you do too.

Finally, a fitting situation for Muse's 'Uprising'.

From Emo Rock, to Glam Pop, to Korean Pop. Getting soft?

I remember my first concert (By first I mean the first I actually wanted to go to -the Riverdance and Emil Chau ones our parents brought us for don't count although they were good) like it was five years ago. Because it WAS five years ago.

the Black Parade

3rd December 2007 - My Chemical Romance's 'the Black Parade is Dead' tour finally made their stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My cousins, Charmaine and Sherman, sister, Jenny and I have been faithfully listening to 'the Black Parade' since its debut in 2006 and squealed the second we heard that the awesome five-piece were coming to our country of all places -Malaysia wasn't exactly crawling with awesome international acts then.

My parents decided we were too young to go on our own (I, the oldest among the kids, was only 15) so they chaperoned, even though the idea of being smack in the middle of dark clothed teens headbanging to loud, theatrical rock music wasn't very appealing. Jenny didn't go because she didn't think she would be missing out on much although she loved their music. Then again, she WAS only 11. Charmaine, then 14 and Sherman, then 12 were as psyched as I was.

We got tickets to the Rock Pit, the nearest zone to the stage. But we got there pretty late (first time concert goers think going on time -7,8pm- should be alright) and so had to stand at the end of that rock zone. The stage must've been five tennis courts' sizes away and we weren't the tallest there, being only recently hit by puberty but all was forgotten the second MCR took to the stage.

I remember they opened with my favourite in the album, 'This Is How I Disappear'. The crowd was cheering at a billion decibels as Gerard Way (frontman) greeted Kuala Lumpur and the band started playing. I felt pretty much like a helium balloon, high from excitement, seeing such an awesome band in its prime in the flesh. The atmosphere did not die for a second, not even when it started to rain.

The concert was full of youthful, loud and rebellious energy from start to finish and I relished every second. For those of you who're unfamiliar with MCR, Gerard Way, the singer, is a man of quirky, demented and lovable energy. You'd know from the way he strutted on stage like a chicken during 'Teenagers' that he was a born entertainer, even if his live vocals may leave something to be desired. Mikey Way, his younger brother plays bass and plays it coolly. He's like that cute, social outcast you can't help but have a crush on, silently rocking out on the bass in the background. Then there's Frank Iero, the tattoo laden bad boy on rhythm guitar and Ray Toro, the amazing afro guy with crazy skills on lead guitar. Drummer Bob Bryar wasn't there that day, and he's not in the band anymore now.

For a first concert, it was more than I could hope for, though some imbecils yelled 'boo' after the encore and asked for their money back because MCR wouldn't come out to give us some more of that sick talent of theirs.

I went home tired and hoarse from screaming but deliriously contented after cleaning up. I believed I slept with a smile on my face. My Chemical Romance. For sure the best damn band ever.

Glamnation

October 14th 2010 was smack in the middle of my A-levels examination but nothing could've stopped me from going to watch the boy with legendary vocals perform in KL. Adam Mitchel Lambert and his glittery crew came to town and I am a big ass Glambert/Lambskank. I've religiously watched every song he's sung on American Idol repetitively and almost cried when I heard he lost the title to Kris Allen. Anyway, he was coming, and I made sure I would be part of his Glamnation tour.

I wanted to look the part too, so I carefully picked out the most shiny, pretty, black pieces from my wardrobe and did not hold back on eyeliner. This time round, I got there pretty early -4pm- with my friend Annie and when the gates to the arena opened, I dashed into the Rock Zone and although I wasn't standing in the absolute first row, I was in the third and I got to be about 5m from the Glam God.

Before Adam appeared, the crowd sang and danced along to the pop tunes they played and I recall clearly and very amusingly, every time an ad or video with Adam in it played on the screens at both sides of the stage, this tall Chinese guy beside me would yell 'Adaaaaaaaaaaaaam!' at the top of his lungs at a pitch so high I would only dream of reaching.

When Adam finally took to the stage, the stadium filled with more than 10,000 fans was filled with screams, squeals and crying. I thought I would have cried too, but when I laid eyes on him walking towards us on stage in his glitter eyeliner and dark get up, I was mesmerised by how beautiful he was. And I don't say that only because he's gay. He really looked seraphic, contrary to his getup and when he started singing in that signature thick, unabashed and commanding voice, the audience went berserk. Well, berserk-er.

I knew all the songs by heart except for a few covers he did and I had an amazing time even though I lost my friend in the sardine-packed crowd. Adam loves his band and dancers and introduced every single one in the middle of the concert. Each wore more lace and leather than the last, and everyone was awfully talented. And to think the PAS representatives outside the stadium tried to refuse us Glamberts that amazing moment in our lives on the grounds that he is homosexual and so somehow we all will follow suit. Because for some reason, they think being LGBT is contagious.

Anyway, another highlight of my life was seeing this gifted human being do what he was born to, even if that cost me my then iPhone :( Yeah it got stolen in the crowd.

SMtown Singapore 2012

There seems to be a trend in my taste of music as I aged. I still love MCR, Adam Lambert's still my favourite artiste, but I've ventured into a genre I never thought I would listen to. Voluntarily.

Korean pop.

It was like a resistant strain of bateria, constantly finding its way into my music preference system and for a long time, my music antibody kept it at bay, but before long, just a year ago, that defence would collapse and K-pop took over my musical innards very effortlessly. I've never been one to criticise people's taste in music and just really didn't pay attention to what didn't appeal to me. But on my own accord, I've drowned in the Hallyu wave without putting up much of a fight.

November 23rd 2012 - I attended my first k-pop concert; SMtown Singapore. SM Entertainment is a company to which most of the K-pop pioneer groups belong to, e.g. Super Junior, SHINee, Girls Generation, TVXQ and BoA. Many of whom my sisters, Jenny, Janet and I have come to obsess over, the most recent culprits being EXO, a group of 12 fresh young boys SM dished out early this year.

After securing our tickets, (I queued online at 12am just for them, which turned out to be miles away from the stage, sadly) Jenny, Janet and I were buzzing with thoughts on what to wear, what fanboard to make and how to make the experience most memorable.

Daddy and mummy would enjoy their time alone in the Lion City while we screamed ourselves hoarse at the concert on that Friday night. Daddy drove from KL but when we reached Singapore, it was pouring heavily; you couldn't see the buildings right next to our hotel through the sheets of rain. The concert was an outdoors one with an amazing view of the Singapore city skyline, Marina Bay Sands and Art Science Museum in the background and the concert was a 'rain or shine' event. We were pretty worried but prayed silently for fairer weather and quickly put on our outfits and makeup.

From left to right: Myself, Jenny and Janet in our best K-pop worthy outfits and makeup.
The gesture is that of EXO's greeting; 'We are one!'

Fortunately, the rain let up and we could get to our seats (literally the furthest from the stage T.T) which were wet. But we wouldn't let that get us down; no! We paid good money and travelled a good distance to support our favourite Korean artistes and we will be giving them our full support -even if it meant screaming like maniacs way at the back of the crowd, where no one really screams. And that was pretty much what happened.

Although we complained and were pretty upset about seeing our idols in the size of rice grains -the stage was THAT far away because the capacity of the arena was ridiculously huge-, we screamed and shouted when the acts started their energetic dancing to the loud infectious pop music and near impeccable vocals filled the air.

Naysayers may say what they like about the culture of K-pop; that they're not real artistes, they lipsync all the time, they're all plastics and fakes and of course, gay because of the makeup and dances etc. But if you could, without bias, watch them perform just one song live, you'll know how real their talent is. I'll bet moving the way they do on stage will already leave you panting, that is, if you can catch the moves in the first place, but doing that while hitting the right notes is another ballgame altogether. And let me tell you, the Koreans are not shy on range or vocal prowess either.

Most of these artistes can also play instruments and write songs even if their companies deprive them of the opportunity to do so publicly. And they do all this while looking pretty damn good; and really, why should the fact that they have gone through plastic surgery cloud your judgement on how talented they are?

Yes. So, SMtown concert. The stage was dangerously slippery after the rain but this was unknown to me till I looked for photos from the concert afterwards. And because I could barely see what happened on stage, I only found out that quite a few of the performers had slipped on stage -especially my bias from EXO-M, Lay, the lead dancer. He sustained some injuries from his fall and I felt especially upset. Here is an example of how SM lives up to its reputation of suppressing and not taking enough precautionary care of the artistes. Hope you recover quickly, Yixing <3

We remained passionate and loud throughout the almost 5 hour long concert -I started losing my voice already halfway through the show. Every act was deserving of applause and cheers and that's the least us fans could do for them in return.

The current group that is pulling at our heart strings is rookie group EXO. When a teaser video of theirs started playing on the big screens, the crowd went wild -Jenny who sat on my left made me temporarily deaf when Sehun's (her favourite member) picture came up with a scream at a pitch so high, bats must've heard it. If it was even possible, the screams got louder when they boys appeared on stage and the familiar Gregorian chanting from 'MAMA' began. Just like so many of the live videos I've watched on Youtube, the boys executed the dance routines effortlessly. Unfortunately, because of their newbie status, they only lip sync at SMtown concerts, but the fans lapped it all up. The one other song they performed was 'History'after their introduction and interaction with the crowd. Then EXO's time in the spotlight would be over until the finale.

Towards the end of the concert, before the finale which involves all of SM's artistes walking around on stage and putting on a show for the fans, the top five groups from SM performed their biggest hits in this order: f(x) - Electric Shock, SHINee - Sherlock, SNSD - the Boys, Super Junior - Sexy, Free and Single and TVXQ - Rising Sun.

Just as f(x) got into position one of the stages exposed to the elements, it started to drizzle. Fans started taking out umbrellas and ponchos as the into to 'Electric Shock' blared from the speakers. As I put my poncho on, I worried for the girls in f(x). Were they really going to do the whole song in the rain? Rainfall got heavier and it wasn't a drizzle anymore. The flashes of lighting and sonorous thunder filled the air but f(x) soldiered on. If anything, the rain gave f(x) more power in their performance. I remember seeing Luna, the petite but vocally very powerful lead singer, slicking back her long brown hair, her made up face wet but defiant against the rain as she hit the high notes spot on. The crowd, especially my sisters and myself screamed at the top of our lungs in support of the girls.

We especially love 'Sherlock' by SHINee and when they also took to a stage exposed to the rain, we were ready to give them auditory support at the expense of our voice boxes. At the end of the song their hair, face and clothes were drenched, much to the delight of the female fans which made up the majority of the audience.

For the top three prized groups, their performances were in the shelter; this could go 2 ways, one being that SM did not want to risk any more falls on the wet platforms or the other being the sunbaenims (seniors) get higher preference.

Then it was the finale. Miraculously, the rain stopped completely, allowing the artistes to bound cheerily onto the platforms to get closer to the fans. Balloons and fireworks completed the experience as the performers took their bows.

There are too many to name and I can't tell who's who clearly heh

So far, all the concerts I've been to have been memorable and amazing, but there are many other musical greats I haven't seen live which I hope I get to in the future. I just missed another k-pop favourite of mine, Big Bang's Alive tour in Malaysia because the tickets were just snapped up so fast. Also, I don't know why I didn't take up my friends' offers to go watch Bruno Mars live in KL. Hopefully he comes back.

Anyway, this has been my recount of my experience with a few of my favourite artistes in the world :)
