Short Update: DJ YB and the "Boy Girl Man Woman" concept albums





This one is for Kaezrin - the first CD of two: more romantic, a tad serious, many great love songs, old and new.





This one is for Rafthah - the second CD of two: more sarcastic, more humor, playful, a bit naughty in songs selection.

Couldn't find any time the past week to sit down and write the next chapter for the Remembrance of Things Past series. Been very busy lately (senior year homework don't seem to take a break, do they?). Dammit. Maybe this weekend I'll look into it again, but I don't promise anything. Okay?

First, Bali, Indonesia and then a few days later, Zamboanga, Phillipines - what the hell is happening in the region? I am more worried everyday that something bad is going to happen to my family in Malaysia (God forbid). Fucking idiots. Go and play CounterStrike instead you radical assholes.

Udika's and Kaezrin's CD materialized today - burned them and proof-listened on my discman. Awesome. Must find time to do the sleeves and visit the post office. Nadhra asked for one for herself too - hers would be in December and for her 21st birthday.

A bit about the two new albums above. Different from the first few ones that I did (to Zulfaa and Che Wan), these two utilized many man-hours, many audio clips from recent and old movies, and demanded that I went "song hunting" for hours into the night. As one fellow mix DJ once said, the more unfamiliar, more obscure and less popular the songs used, the better the mix, since "...those who receives [the album] will always remember you the mix DJ, instead of the original artist, whenever they hear the same song once again in another time".

Both CDs are about, as the title suggests, the relationship between boys and girls, and man and woman. In the mix are songs and audio clips about marriage, teen love, true love, sex, newly-found womanhood, friendship between sexes, break-ups, loneliness and all other crap that could be implied from the songs' titles and lyrics. Sorry, I won't list down the track order for the two CDs for you here; they are exclusively for these two lucky sons of a.. I mean, these respectable ladies here, yeah?

Oh, it snowed today. How nice.
