Being Musically-Inclined and Manipulating Musical Chairs

‘Music can soothe the savage beast.’

I spent most of my second flight home last night (from Dubai to Singapore) listening to music albums. I focused on the British #1 hits of the years 1980-2010. I caught some shut-eye whilst I was at it, and the collections looped to allow repetition. I now have a knowledgeable compendium of new performers and their smash hits. I am now on a first-name relationship with Bruno Mars, B.o.B. (aka Bobby Ray), DJ David Aguetta, Paramore (with Hayley Williams) and Cee Lo Green. Rap-artist and songwriter, B.0.B. would be in Singapore on 3 August to perform an-hour’s concert at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sentosa Island. His song ‘Airplane (featuring Hayley William and Eminem) was a hit.
Touch-screen monitors make it easier to manipulate the menu of entertainment systems. The competitive edge that airlines bring to the business of in-fight entertainment includes latest film releases, wider selection (and more episodes) of television hits, music, radio, games and news. Certainly, having Internet access onboard empowers the digital denizens who are independent in their search for intellectual self-gratification.

Thanks to Yasser of UAE for recommending this link of musical duo, Karmin Covers. They both appeared on The Ellen Show – a platform for many new stars including Clarice Pempangco – and their YouTube video (of a cover song by Chris Brown) garnered over-26 million views! Amy can rap and play the guitar very well; that’s her fiancé, Nick playing the keyboards and box.

It has been Day 10 of the Tour. For the TDF-challenged, aka Tour De France, here is a good source of education. There was lots of drama in the last ten days including thrill and dangerous spills. A French TV van was banned after it threw riders off the road.
