The Social
5 Little Portland St (just off Great Portland st)
Nearest tube will be Oxford Circus.
It was one the best nights i had in London. I meet Ulrich Schnauss and James of MAPS (doing a DJ set). Oh, man..didn't really thought gonna meet them personally, we chat for awhile, i had to ask for their signature for sure ( Owen was running out to get a copy of the poster for me, thanks alot bro..) and both of them are fuckin' friendly. STEADY POK!
I really hope they'll come over to Malaysia someday. Do check them out, if you're into shoegaze, ambient, electronica .
Sam, you should have joined us that night...next time, check the "NAME LIST"!

london oh london
stylophoneThe weather was bad for the past two days. It's been raining, drizzling, stop for awhile, and there she goes again. Owen told me it was fine a few days before. Damn, not for me i guess.
I was watching SkyNews (about this sick guy somewhere in Austria, locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years, rape her, fathering seven children, Josep Fritzl confessed to burning the body of one child after it died in infancy, man...what tha fuck?!) in my room (Copthorne Tara Hotel, i'll stay there when i fly to London) somewhere in Kensington High Street while waiting for Owen. We planned to go for lunch somewhere near by then head to Denmark Street as i need to check out some gear for my band. As i looked outside, damn...the weather didn't change a bit. Dark clouds, drizzling wet, gothic, cold. macam sial. very the "Elbow" "The Cure" mood.
Anyway, Owen came over and we head straight to a Chinese restaurant called "STICK & BOWL". Had our makan there, Owen seems enjoying his noodle. Usually, i'll go to Bayswater for lunch but the weather was kinda suck so might as well we just go somewhere near by the High Street Kensington station. From there, we'll hit to Tottenham Court Road station.
There's a couple of cool guitar store that you'll find here in Denmark St. From new, used, custom, vintage. You name it, they've got it. I was looking for Fender Blender but it's quite expensive here. £199.00. I guess it's our RM rates against theirs. I think getting it in the States would be a better option. Oh yeah, me and Owen did tried the Theremin. Cool stuff, sounds cooler if you added some delays, phaser or some kind of other modulation effects. Owen was thinking to get one. I would have bought it if the price tag was reasonable for me. £99.00. That's heavy for me.
At one of the store, i only could have a Stylophone reissue for £20.00 Yep, i bought it.There's plenty of vintage stuff that you can find here, but one thing for sure, it's costly and some are quite big to bring home. I guess it would be my new toy for now. You can experiment with other modulation pedals. Hee..hee..hee..
