You might wanna dig out another thesis written in 2006. I can't remember the title but it pertains to the music scene.

This one is a bit old?

Are there any of our bands out there writing Singapore-themed songs any more?

I can think of GSE's Siti in the City... any others?

The article is a little old, but proves it's point about social mindset being reflected in popular music -- isn't it always? At the same time, having a bunch of joke songs and ,thanks but no thanks, dick lee as the flagwaver for singapore music is a bit of a no-no for me.

hey i was quite surprised to see the title of the thread, coz i'm doing a project on the analysis of singapore music, and part of what is written in the journal will be for my reference.. but it is outdated and for a review, wat's past is past and we have new problems that we're facing now.. like segregation..
