  • music monday: one hit wonders

    Hello, lovelies! It’s a gloomy Monday here in Bandung, but I’m in a very pleasant mood. Why? Because I don’t have to attend English for Office Administration class tomorrow. Yo ho ho!

    And for the first time in weeks, I do a Music Monday post in the actual Monday. This week’s theme is One Hit Wonders. I had to dig my memory very deep to find these songs. I need to inform you that these are one hit wonders in Indonesia. I know that Smash!! was quite popular in their origin country (Russia), but they only had one hit here in Indonesia. The same thing happened to Jesse McCartney. So, I beg your pardon if you think that these songs are not really one hit wonders in your country. (Afterall, I don’t have a wide knowledge in music, actually.)

    So, here they are:

    Again, I’m linking up with Kristen for her Music Mondays feature. She hasn’t posted her playlist and the linky yet, but I’m going to post mine now. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Monday, y’all!

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • music monday (on tuesday): a tribute playlist

    (Silly me put the Music Monday post on Tuesday again.)

    This week’s theme for Music Monday is tribute. I don’t have much to say about the playlist, except the fact that I love each song on it. And I couldn’t find The Beatles on Grooveshark, so I put the YouTube video instead. Here they go:





    I know, I know. The Long and Winding Road was actually sung by Paul McCartney, and he is alive. (And he won a Grammy! And people tweeted “Who the hell is Paul McCartney? Is he Jesse McCartney’s uncle?”) I put it here just because John Lennon played the bass. And I love him (though not as much as I love Paul. Sorry, Johnny Boy…)

    I’m linking up with Kristen. You should check her version 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • music monday (on wednesday): love songs

    Woohoo… I’m such a lazy girl. Two nights in a row, I went to bed earlier than usual. I just felt so tired, even though I did nothing. So this post had to wait two days before getting posted. It actually had sat in my draft since Monday, but I didn’t have the energy even to just click ‘Publish’. Whoa!

    So here they are, my friends, five greatest love songs in my version. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

    Oh and happy pinkish day 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    PS. I have another playlist from last year with more songs. Check it out!

  • music mondays: songs from 1991

    When I found out last week that this week’s theme for Music Mondays link up in Kristen’s blog was ‘Top 5 favorites from your birth year’, I instantly thought about those slow rock musics which were very famous in the early 1990’s. But when I saw this list, I was surprised that I actually only knew four songs (out of 100). So here they are, number 1 through 4. Plus one song from 1990. I cheated, I know. But I really like this song, so I thought it would be okay, eh Kristen? 😉


    Why don’t you come over her blog and link up too?

    *UPDATE*
    I was featured on Christianna’s blog 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • “and no one is ever gonna love you more than i do…”

    Whenever I find out that my favourite song is covered by other artists, I usually go to YouTube to listen to the cover version. The same happens whenever I find out that my favourite song is, in fact, a cover (as happened in She & Him’s Ridin’ in My Car, which turned out to originally be NRBQ’s song; and Meaghan Smith’s Here Comes Your Man turned out to originally be Pixies’).

    I first listened to No One’s Gonna Love You by Band of Horses in a mixtape I got from Kaelah. I instantly fell in love with it. Months later, I found out that the song was covered by Cee Lo Green. I searched YouTube for the song and it turns out that each version has its own official music video. I personally like the original version of the song, but I have to say that I like Cee Lo Green’s video much better. It tells a story of a couple in a road trip after being kicked out from their house, while Band of Horses’ version only shows a footage of the band playing in a show plus their daily life (including brushing teeth, showering, drinking, sleeping, and smashing bottles on each other’s head). What’s your say?

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.
