as a DJ at singapore’s number one hit radio station 987FM, i get exposed to alot of pretty cool spins on a daily basis. DREAM JOB. however, while i appreciate my daily dose of RNB/ROCK/POP/DANCE, i do miss the older + the less commercial tracks that i happen to be extremely fond of. tracks like that get played on HEAVY ROTATION on my ipod. i cant go anywhere without music plugged in or i’d feel naked. i feel life’s much sweeter when there’s a soundtrack to it 
“OUT OF THE BLUE”
Julian Casablancas
im just about obsessed with all things Julian. this is my fav track out of his solo EP. awesome lyrics that i totally connect with.
“PEOPLE SHOULD SMILE MORE”
Newton Faulkner
Newton Faulkner.. man, this guy’s c’est genial when it comes to lyrics and melody. another one of my favs, perfect for when your heart’s feeling broken, is “Uncomfortably Slow”. go check that out.
“SAY YES”
Elliot Smith
he was a manic depressive alcoholic when he was alive. this reflected alot in his emo acoustic tunes. he was found dead with 2 stab wounds to his chest, reason unknown. sigh.. R.I.P (06.08.69 – 21.10.03) – thank you for the music.
“WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID”
Brandon Flowers
Brandon’s solo FLAMINGO album gave me my Killers fix and im grateful.
“MIS AMIGOS”
The Dandy Warhols
omg. this song’s my happy tune. totally a blast-loud-with-car-top-open type tune.
“BREAKABLE”
Ingrid Michaelson
brilliantly quirky lyrics. and needless to say, her voice soothes my nerves.
“TIME TO PRETEND”
MGMT
one of my fav trippy tracks.
“THE NEVERENDING WHY”
Placebo
“time will help you through, but it doesnt have the time to give you all the answers to the neverending why..”
“UMBRELLA”
(cover of rihanna’s original on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)
Biffy Clyro
clyro’s cover reshaped an already good tune and made it excellently heartfelt. rozz loves.
“PURE”
The Lightning Seeds
oldie but goldie. lyrics are simple and hits me in all the right places.. super positive vibes. one of my fav love ditties.
“FANS’
Kings Of Leon
for days when you’re sick of hearing Sex On Fire and Use Somebody.. i actually love singing along to this while im takin a showerr.. LOL!
“PLANS”
Birds Of Tokyo
aussie band that amazingly churns out hit tune after tune. this is my current fav. shan introduced them to me.
“KIDS DONT STAND A CHANCE + OXFORD COMMA”
Vampire Weekend
omg two of my favourite VW tracks in a single hit. gotsta lurrrve 2-in-1s sometimes..
“11TH DIMENSION”
Julian Casablancas
i wasnt lying when i said im obsessed by all things Julian. this one’s the most popular track of his EP. (i still prefer OUT OF THE BLUE cuz im more of a lyrics kinda gal.. 11th Dimension’s awesome as a dance tune tho)
much as i love sharing music, i love discovering new music too. im particularly interested in other people’s playlists. please drop me a few titles of your favourite spins please, i would greatly appreciate the love. (esp tunes from artistes/bands that arent played on the radio BUT SHOULD.) thaaaanks! x
