White Tornado – R.E.M.
· LP: Singles Collected
· Released in 1994
· This is a unique instrumental track of R.E.M. It is of one of their earliest songs. Sounds
more like surf-rock of Dick Dale & Man… or Astroman rather than the typical sound of
R.E.M.

Can’t Have It – Teen Angels

· Released in 1996 by Sub-pop
· If you pronounce the name of the band fast, it sounds like “Teenagers”

The World Has Turned And Left Me Here – Weezer

· Weezer has 2 self-titled albums, the other is known as Green album based on the colour of
the album cover

Do You Like Me – Fugazi
· LP: Red Medicine
· Released in 1995 by their own label, Dischord Records
· This is a great Washington based positive punk band greatly admired by the independent
music scene. It is an anti-violence punk band.
· The band was playing in Malaysia about 10 years ago at Fire Discotheque. Those who
were there would never forget about the gig and the band. The gig started late as usual
liked any local independent gig. At one point, the crowd was pushing towards the stage.
The security/bouncers were a bit rowdy. The lead singer prevented the potential violence
imposed by the security/bouncers towards the audiences and the show went on smoothly.

Fiore (trumpet & percussion), John Mc Crea (vocal, acoustic guitar & organ) & Todd Roper

Farting In A Car Full of People Isn’t Rude, It’s Screwed Up – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby
· This song was written out of frustration and the band is not serious about this song

Mr. Biggles – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby

Wondermilk – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby
· This song was written with the influence of Couple. However, it sounds more similar to the
style of Lucy In The Loo. I imagined Hana singing this song while listening.

Mocha – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby
· Personally, I think this is the best track. The lyric sounds like it contains some vulgar
words but in reality there’s no vulgar word. Blame it on the raw unpolished recording

Dance Floor – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby
· Personally, this is the song I dislike. It has the influence of Al Stewart – Ashraff (the lead
singer) was probably digging his mom’s record collection for inspiration while writing this
song. It’s not really bad after listening to it several times but it is just a song that could not
instantly fit into my taste of music.

My Blur Baby – The Fridays
· EP: My Blur Baby
· This is another great track.
