Philip The Boy

----------
Lyrics for our hit single! xoxo

* note this effing song is completely 100% BODY PARTS ONLY - no instruments or imported sounds.. (lanci betul =.=)

Philip The Boy

Philip the boy, the boy from sarawak,

he came to dj, he met with adrian mak,

he doesnt like the place, he think it really sucks,

in his hometown, he feed alot of ducks,

over here he has nothing except lam seng tuck,

everday he shout emak, emak, emak

but his mother never came, he's surrounded in the dark,

what's this song about? i dunno what the fuck..

----the end---

* i know the song abit blur but THATS LIFE LAR BITCH

jay chou sucks

-zweeho- posted this wooohoooo (tui tze)

LAWL album - Production PART TWO! and the darn finished product!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.....wtf??! star wars is supposed to be modern and yet it says "a long time ago??!" Is George Lucas a comedian or a film director??!!

So, after my hour-long stay at jebat's i realized i wasn't happy with the balance of volumes in tracks "the cheater", "5 batai" and "keep ur hands off my butt". The voice was too soft, drowned by the guitars and other sounds. So, i spent another couple of hours balancing those again and again...and again ! dammit! But those hours were worthwhile cos im really happy with the finished product. I listened to every detail till i was happy and gay like wendy. That's practically the summary of my job in this project...listen to it over n over till i get bored of it. I also noticed that the CD sounds best when played using speakers with big bass sounds such as using a sub-wolfer or stuff like that. So, if you can, use those for best pleasure.

Thus, the tracklist is as shown below...

  1. Philip The Boy (opening, intro, wtv u wanna call it)

  2. The Cheater

  3. 5 Batai

  4. Norela

  5. Hey There Vanessa

  6. Keep Your Hands Off My Butt

  7. Life After We Leave

  8. Farewell (closing, the end, scary movie 4)

  9. Norela (remix)

  10. Speech

We placed the two last tracks under the "BONUS" category so that ppl will fall for the impression that they are getting more than they paid for a.k.a. marketting gimmick no.1! So, yea! U can roughly tell which songs we chose to adapt from by the titles of the tracks. ROUGHLY?!! Its f**king obvious!

The burning of the CDs also took quite long cos yes, im a noob in that. But at least im learning right? RIGHT??! We decided to make only 30 copies so that it will be like one of those limited edition albums (yeah right!) so i invested in the physical raw materials to make just that number of copies.

The design of the cover n stuff was done by me while the rest were at Zean's surprise party...Sry Zean! Forgive me, m'lady! U know i'll give anything for YOU! It was pretty rushed, so wether u like it or not, u'll have to accept it as it is!!! Zwee, Jebat and I had a tele-conference through msn while they were at Zean's and we debated on the price of the CD.


Team A,consisting of me, had to defend the stand RM 15 per album/CD while Team B, consisting of the other two had to rebut and persuade me to settle for RM 12. Clearly, they were the underdog so i gave them chance to win. Nola..... i lost. They brought me back to the good side, away from the dark side where shadows lurk. Hence, lolz , the album will be sold at the price of RM 12! I expect a "YAY!"....

For the physical packaging, i wanted to get some free labour from some ppl in class to help out. Wan li invited us over for some open house thing and i took advantage of that moment....so there they were-Dom, Ethan, Cheri, Yi Shen, Hy, Zwee and Ang...working as hard as Santa's slaves (elves). I WISH!!! I'll be damned, if they even got off their butts!!! In the end, it was only Yi Shen, zwee n I who did the dirty job. But all was well cos the rest entertained us with their smelly armpits.

Well, there you have it! The summary of how this project was made. Though the original plan was to release it on 1st oct, we apologize cos up to now, it still hasn't reached ur ears yet. But u must understand that the delay was caused by the extra time needed to polish it so it will be a good experience for u guys. However, all 30 copies are now eagerly waiting to reach ur doorstep soon. We promise it will reach you somewhere near the end of this month. Ciaoz! and we hope you'll invest in this album cos u wont be dissapointed.

LAWL album - Production PART ONE!

Recording started on 9th i think. We were supposed to practice our darned parts before that sunday but lawl being lawl, we din give a shit. They came to my place in the morning and it was the three of us working or asses off. That was plan A but as always, plan A is just for show and to hide the true intentions of plan B. Having said that, my room was packed with not three, not four, not five, but six pieces of critters! Haw Yang and another two people who zwee brought over (not mentioned for national security, whatever that means!) joined zwee and I as we watched jebat record his parts. WATCHED. Which isn't a bad thing cos jeb could only make it for two sessions.The rest of us pretty much vommited gibberish and disturbed world peace while jebat kept shushing us.

The next sunday, it was the same thing but with quan and kit over. They slept over at zwee's the night before and had nowhere to go. I couldn't leave them outside by the road cos I'm such a nice person. With their presence, some of the tracks have traces of their voices and farts. The one i clearly remember with their voice in it is the intro of track 5. The day went by just like the first session did. Jeb spent the whole 2 hours inputing the vocals and guitar parts while the rest did a foursome, though sadly it was non-sexual..... =(

On the 23rd, however.....or was it 30th? Can't remember , but whatever the day was, recording was pretty much done except for the final track. Its a no-nonsense track so zwee n I called yi shen the smart ass, dom-d-hood, Angster-X and kah shin over to be part of the track. We wanted more people but like Haw Yang says, "Masa itu mencemburui kita". Unfortunately, with this bunch of bananas, the only no-nonsense track became THE nonsense track.

The rest of the days were spent on mixing, editing and recording some bits and pieces of zwee's and my parts which took much longer than i expected. Oh! now i remember...the date was 23rd, not 30th. Cos the damned editing, mixing and effects work was done until the 29th. Then there was the volumizing to balance the different instruments.

The recording of Zwee's and my parts was pretty easy though cos we've done that track before. Its the only track with a remix. On the gloomy night of 29th, where the mist hung in the air, I rushed through the mastering of the tracks which included making all the tracks the same volume so that when u guys listen to it u wont go deaf due to the sudden increase in volume from one song to the next.

30th, went to jeb's place for lessons in the morning and we sampled the very first "complete product" of the album there and then. He turned the volume so low that i could barely hear nuts cos some of the lyrics was not suitable for parents.
