Stupid!

No no, I'm not in a bad mood, yet. Not trying to scold anyone, yet.

I was listening to Vanessa Fernandez's "You Don't Need to Speed" from the Sounds of the Underground album, that I decide to google her. By the way, her voice is good. You should listen to that above music track and hear her clear voice. 

So after googling her up, I discovered something else about her. Little did I know that she was an ex-member of the now disbanded local hip-hop band, Urban Xchange. Have you ever heard of them? Haha!

"In 2000, her group Urban Xchange took Singapore and the region by storm. The regionally successful band had a song featured on the Rush House 2 soundtrack, sang on a specially re-packaged Asian edition of Brian McKnight’s “Superhero” album, was nominated at the MTV Asia Awards 2002, and performed with Stacie Orrico at the MTV Asia Awards 2004.

I was then inspired to search for that single hit, Stupid.

"Stupid. I feel sick and tired."..... literally (of my assignments and Microsoft Office)!

It's been ages since I last heard this great track, at least I think it's great to listen to. Haha! I remembered I was so into this song when it was first played on the local radio stations, I reckon it was 98.7 FM. 

Well back then I only listened to that station bcos of Glenn Ong (the DJ himself) and his late-night show, The Ego Trip (with the Misfits: Honky Tong, Simone and Godpa). Glenn was the voice for all 3 radio characters. It's like a lil radio drama serial going on every night. The jokes, the script and the music, were good =) After Glenn left for Class 95 FM, so did I jumped over to his morning show. Wait a minute, are you guys lost already? LOL! You can read that I'm quite a listener of Glenn eh =P or maybe an alien, bcos no1 knows what I'm blabbering on about right....

Back to the main topic, I remembered searching high and low for this track bcos at that time, Kaazza and Napster (those popular downloading software back in 2001) din have it. Somehow or rather, I got the track and got Madeline to burn a CD out for me. Heehee!

I'm glad to have heard this song once again, many many years later. They sang a song for Coca Cola commercial once, and by 2005 they were gone from the local music scene. What a waste of talented local hip-hoppers.

So, this is another song called Buzzin' by them back then. Sounds not bad =) Anyway Vanessa Fernandez is the one wearing that head bandana. Love her voice, did I mention that yet? Enjoy!

Ya, back to my assignment again. Stupid.
