Music loses its appeal after it becomes popular. It gets frustrating when the band you're listening to magically appears on radio and the next moment everyone on the streets are listening to it.

Classic example would be muse which is one of my favourite band. I happened to listen to two of their song from their oldest album quite a few years back, Unintended and Plug In Baby and omg it was love at first sight(!). Got the songs from their lastest released album and all their songss were nice :D. Their singer has a soo distinctive and unique voice that can be very hit pitch too. The guitar parts are nice(which means it doesnt sound like those ordinary pop rock/mainstream rock musics like fallout*cough* ) so is the lyricss. Some time later, the song "Time is running out" appeared on radio and was a hit. Wah lao i was damn sad la :(. Luckily and surprisely, only that song appeared on radio. Time is running out is a nice song but i think the some of the other songs are much nicer. I personally like butterflies and hurricane the best :P.

I nearly died when muse new album, the black hole thing came out. 2 of their songs became hits on radio and their album sales hit rank 1 spot in hmv(which i think is due to the 2 shity songs). Didnt really like the 2 songs, felt that they were the worst in the cd. No idea why it became so popular. The new album wasnt as good as the old one but most of the songs(assassin,exo politics,city of delusions blabla) were nicee.

Thank god that most of the other bands i listen to arent affected and i hope that they will never be :D. Radio kills.

And omg muse is super duper fantastic in live. My bro has the live in Glastonbury(sp?) dvd and the live8 dvd has 1-2 of their performances. I love the lead singer's voiceeeee. Muse came to singapore in January i think. Wah laoo i wanted to go one la but too bad neither andrew or aaron listens to/likes them. They went for the Fallout boy and Funeral for a friend concert instead. :(. Muse is like 100000 times better than fallout boys please!

The drummer look like a rat though HAHA
