Feel it come to live when i see your ghost

The weekend was spent mostly at Baybeats. It's quite cool ya, how the turnout has been increasing each year. Can find all kinds of people there. Emo foos, punk rockers, punks, indie hipsters, geeks, slackers, babes who listen to more r&B actually, etc etc. Shaun even said he saw bengs and lians at Electrico's set.

This year's Baybeats has to be the most rewarding for me. As in, the previous years i mostly went late and missed all the bands i'd wanted to catch, such as Observatory. Two Baybeats ago i managed to catch Last Days Of April though. The lead singer was worth everything.

Plain Sunset has reunited damn fast man! Remember when they broke up? Wasn't that long ago, like abt... 2003 or 2004. They played that final gig at the Substation and people who couldn't get in were so upset. Anyhow, this year at The Arena they had such a big crowd! I don't know if their turnout was better or Electrico's. I thought it was the latter but Shaun said Plain Sunset.

I thought Electrico's gig was quite good. Very rocking and all (it's my first time watching them). Boon thought it was quite... i can't remember his exact word but i think it meant something like it was all very rehearsed. Let me just say now that Xiaowen is the best gig-going buddy i have. She's enthusiastic and has no qualms abt squeezing through the crowd and therefore getting better spots. Haha!

Boon totally loved Astreal's performance. Too bad we didn't stay for the whole set cos we decided to go get good spots for The Posies. Totally worth it! For me that was like the best gig in my Baybeats experience this year. Ken Stringfellow's solo set was quite impressive too. Mellow and nice. With Posies his stage antics kinda reminded me of Dave Grohl! He's also got that sort of hair. Would you imagine? If Foo Fighters would perform at Baybeats. Ok that's really impossible. Or like Queens Of The Stone Age came? And Dave Grohl drummed for them still? Sighs.

Another good thing abt Baybeats is that it's like a mini Mass Comm gathering. Those people (like Ian Tan, Daniel, Mervyn, Ben etc) whom i see once a year, i see them at Baybeats. Really nice to see everyone y'know? I'd say we all haven't changed much. =)

Looking forward to more!
