» In much the same way that eyes are said to be the window to the soul, band names give us a glimpse into the collective personality lurking behind each group. And as far as Thai band names are concerned, they can range from prosaic (Solitude Is Bliss, My Life As Ali Thomas) and whimsical (Apartment Khunpa, Charblues, Gym and Swim) to absolutely outlandish (Big Ass, Calories Blah Blah). For Sakon Nakhon-based trio Junlaholaan, names represent a curious juxtaposition where two incongruous concepts (jun, micro, and holaan, enormous) coexist to convey a deeply philosophical message. Yes, we are but a tiny speck in the universe -- the band seems to be saying -- but at the same time, a butterfly in Brazil could also cause a tornado in Texas, couldn't it?

» The year was 2000 and Linkin Park had just released their debut album, Hybrid Theory. Fronted by Chester Bennington, the LA band brought to the global music scene, then perforated by the likes of Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, a little something different. Fusing heavy metal with hip-hop with electronica and Bennington's screamo vocals, they quickly became a personal saviour to angst-ridden teenagers all over the world. With 27 million copies sold, Hybrid Theory ranks as one of the world's best-selling albums.

» The year might have felt like it flew past like the ephemerally cool breeze of December, but a lot of great music was released along the way. From Janet to Blur, comebacks were all the rage this year, and none were more anticipated than Adele. But while heavyweights delivered, there were plenty of surprises too. Closer to home we witnessed the emergence of shoegaze/post-rock from excellent acts such as Inspirative and Ziriphon Fireking, as well as welcoming exciting newcomers like Phum Viphurit. Here, in no particular order, are the top 20 singles we think best encapsulate the year in music.
