Thought I’d just pop in with a quick update on the ins-and-outs this week.
Firstly, Liam Gallagher. The ex-Oasis frontman says he’ll be back in the music scene soon enough, but it’s “not Oasis, something else. But I’m having a breather from music for a bit, without a doubt”, he said.
“I’m still who I am and I can go and do something else. I’ve got music in me. I’ll never leave it behind but we’ll see where it goes. It might be shite but you don’t know until you try.”
Someone who’s also trying something new is one of our favourite pop stars, Stefanie Sun.

loveShe was recently in Beijing to film the music video for Mu Lan Qing, the theme song for the upcoming movie, Hua Mulan. The 31-year-old had hair extensions added to look the part. She also mentioned that she admired the character’s strong, um, character.
Her mentors Lee Wei Song and Lee Si Song wrote the lyrics to the tune and this is the first time she’s going a movie theme song. Will it work? Time will tell, but at least we’ll get to hear her on the airwaves again.
Speaking of airwaves, acoustic flavours fill the air this week. Tomorrow night, guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, CGP, will perform at the DBS Auditorium.

Those who didn’t buy tickets, let me tell you what you’ll be missing – ONE HECK OF A GREAT SHOW, if his previous gigs are anything to go by.
Then on Friday at the Singapore Art Museum, it’s the monthlyloveOOOM @ SAMonce again. That’s Originals Only Open Mic, where you can get to show off your songwriting and singing skills. Special adjudicators will be there but not Dick Lee, Florence Lian or Ken Lim. Making a special appearance is The Lion Story (below), a trio who are slowly-but-surely making waves in the music scene. They’re preparing for a new album to be out in 2010. Definitely one to watch out for.
And lastly, another album we’re also watching out for islovethe new offering by one of Singapore’s top guitarists, Rosli Mansor’s Deeper Than Purple.
According to keyboardist Gavin Cardoza (the dude who plays with local rock band Energy and is featured on one track), making an album like this requires guts, and Rosli’s “got it”. Check out how Rosli’s faring at http://terrabox.wordpress.com.
Another site to check out is Walk On Music, run by Patrick Chng and Don Bosco, two guys who know what they’re talking about when it comes to local music and who are also trying to put English local musos on the map.
Catch their new video series called S-Indie TV on http://www.walkonmusic.net.
