Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 01/02/2012

Hoot property

» Conducting interviews at a music festival must be the bane of any sane journalist's existence. Running from one stage to another is hard enough, but when thrown into a pressroom near the stage where it's too loud and stuffy, it can get even more frustrating. That's what happened during our short slot with US electronica act Owl City, aka Adam Young, at the recent Silverlake Music Festival in Pattaya. He was propped up on stage while I was fielding him questions from a chair off stage _ communicating through microphones. It looked like a scene from an Asian arthouse movie where, at any minute, Young might get off his high stage to bite off my head, and then butterflies would rise from the ground to eat my corpse.
Unplugged but uninspiring

» What do bands at the top of their careers do? Well, there are many paths they can choose to embark on. They can drink themselves stupid, fight paternity lawsuits, continue to churn out a solid body of work, buy sport cars, or turn into poetic messiahs. With all that money and fame, they can pretty much fulfil all their wishes.

A Design for Life

» Nontawat Charoenchasri is not your average design snob. Actually, the only word, besides his name, that rings true in the said sentence is "design".
K-popped
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 29/02/2012
» For the past two weeks, Thailand has been plagued with K-pop news. It shouldn't be a big thing since Korean pop culture has consumed Thailand for many years now. All things Korean have had stark influences over the Thai entertainment industry to an extent that we don't dare to admit.
Naked Ambition
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 11/01/2012
» Local hipsters must be excited beyond belief now that The Naked and Famous is coming to town, giving them a chance to scream along to Punching in a Dream and Young Blood among other numbers by the hot property New Zealand band.
No longer joined to the snap judgement
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 17/01/2012
» Chadil "Deffy" Yuenying was probably the most talked about man in the country last week. But as much I as love any kind of attention, I'm not jealous of him. Not even one little bit.
The naked Proof
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 25/01/2012
» Of late, there's been a fair share of diverse, interesting international bands playing Bangkok, rather than the usual stadium acts or veteran performers who are on their last world tour... for the 10th time. The Naked and Famous were the latest in line to fulfil the wet dreams of all hipsters when they rolled into town last week.
