Nokia Music Explorer : Covers

Posted by IcedNyior on February 2, 2010  |  No Comments

Missed last week’s recommendations coz was outstation in Sabah, so here are 4 songs this week. The theme is Covers :D

1. Buses & Trains (cover) – Nikki Gil
Nikki Gil is a singer from the Philippines that has an album of covers of songs. Her voice is smooth and her energy in upbeat. She has another album of Tagalog songs… (but i downloaded it anyway).

2. Smooth (Santana Cover) – Escape the Fate
This song is frm the album "Punk Goes Pop Vol 2" and this cover is one of my favs in the album. Think Smooth with a more rock-ish vibe. Love love love! Download the whole album while you’re at it :P

3. Ayo Technology (Cover) – Milow
I first heard this in youtube – quite a sexy vid if i may say – and a great cover. Almost sounds like an Unplugged version of the original. Sexy vocals from Milow

4.Me & Mrs Jones – Michael Buble
There have been many-many covers of this song, but I still like Michael Buble’s version. Reminds me of lounge-y music, black piano and ballrooms. Great for mellow days

* All songs featured in the Nokia Music Explorer posts are available for download on the Nokia Ovi Music store via the Nokia X6 Comes With Music. To learn more, check out their facebook at http://www.facebook.com/nokiamusicmalaysia *

Car Noob

I would be the first to admit that I don’t know anything about cars or motocycles or any other vehicle for that matter. Anything with an engine and wheels eludes me. All I know is how to drive my car, fill it with petrol and change tyres (well, at least I know how to change the tyres by myself!).

When I was in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, I met up with Taufan. He drove one of his father’s car and he had this cool device on it. I think its like a Car DVD Player that can play music and has an in-built GPS I think (because I think saw the GPS device thingy). The best part is, when reversing, it shows a feed of the back view so that you don’t accidently hit anything or anyone. When I saw it, i told Taufan, “OMG! I need that for my car.”

Even though I know nothing about cars, I do want to change my CD player in the car because currently it plays only audio CDs and I want it to play MP3 CDs. Oh, I just checked and apparently its called a In-Dash Car Receiver. LOL! Told you I’m a noob.

Hurm, I don’t have an Emergency Road Kit in my car. Well I do have one plastic bag with tampons/pads in case of an emergency but I don’t have a first aid kit in the car. Should I get one? I do have a flashlight tho. Hurm..

Sorry this is a bit late. Totally forgot to publish it, even tho I wrote this post already and saved it as a draft. LOL!

Anyway, unlike previous downloads, today I’m bringing you an interesting book by Neil Strauss titled The Game : Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. This book was actually recommended by a guy friend of mine. It tells the story of how a guy learned the tricks of becoming a pickup artist/player. Interesting read.
