Pretty bummer for me last night. Sat home alone, doing absolutely nothing. So it was because no one was free to accompany me, or to fill my time. Never mind though, I still have my ever trusting best friend of my life, my TV :D (no that doesn't make me a sad sad person k...). Anyway, I was kinda anticipating the much talked about awards show, and voila! I was able to do so. :)
It was the Shout Awards '09, the very first local awards show that tributes to the local entertainment industry. What I find awesome is how far Malaysia has come. I honestly didn't expect a whole lot from an event like this, but having to watch it live on the tele was pretty spectacular. Alright, I confess that I don't tune in to our local acts/bands, and honestly have never heard of some bands. But that doesn't mean they aren't good. I do feel that sometimes we undermine local acts just because they aren't internationally recognized, but some of these bands actually have good sounds... (if you're into the whole indie, alternate rock genre that is...) but truth be told, I think they just lack support. Personally, bands like Estranged and Bunkface have what it takes to go far... Keep rocking and finding the heart of music...
Keep looking :)
