. Alicia Keys born and bred in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, Keys was strongly influenced by music from all different generations and disciplines including the essential music of Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder; classical compositions of Frédéric Chopin, Erik Satie, and Leontyne Price; and urban lyricists such as Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and the Wu-Tang Clan.

In 2001, she hit the airwaves with Fallin’ from the Grammy Award-winning debut album Songs in A Minor. The world fell in love with Keys and in the following album, The Diary of Alicia Key… she did not disappoint her fans.

Serge just discovered this awesome Finnish guy named Matti Paalanen. Matti is the one man army, composer and guru to the Celestial Aeon Project. An album that is influenced by great composers such as Nobuo Uematsu and Danny Elfman.

Produced in a home studio with virtual instruments and sample libraries, the soundscapes by Matti has a pleasant feeling. One of the best white noise, Serge has heard and Aeon is something he recommends getting. In the Celestial Aeon Project -Aeon- , it comprises of 11 songs. Each song has a unique feel to it.

J-Rock group Bump of Chicken has just released their 8th album entitled Present from You. This album contains 13 tracks, with the longest track entitled Everlasting Lie; which spans for 8.39 minutes while the shortest is at 3.27 minutes, called Holiday. Some of the songs you might have heard of it before as Present from You is a B-side compilation album.

Out of the 13 tracks which Serge is listening to now, ラフ・メイカー, 真っ赤な空を見ただろうか is his personal favourite, another good listening track is ガラスのブルース (28 years round) . The tracks are not your usual Bump of Chicken style, this are B-sides.

Serge has been listening to Connie Talbot for the past day or so, those who knows who she is will know how wonderful her voice is. For those who does not know, let Serge begin his story.

Connie Talbot is this 7 year old girl, yes 7 year old; who took part in Britain’s Got Talent. This is a talent show where the winner of the series received £100,000 and are given the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of members of the Royal Family at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.

It’s 0424hrs and for normal Malaysians, people will not be awake at this ungodly hour. Unless they happen to be Serge or they work in a 24/7 call center, nevertheless work so far has been really awesome. Above average kind-of-calls and really nice customers to boot too. It is just the three of them and their boss is away for a business trip.

Serge is now in see-saw alley as his confirmation hangs in the balance, not due to bad performance but due to the fact that they (the company) do not know how to confirm him at all. Serge’s former boss is trying his best to push Serge’s confirmation period so that he can get that held back money. Which is a lot to say the least.
