~Sights & Sounds of Urbanscapes 2012~

I have a confession: I'm a sucker for all things hipster. I love the vintage retro things and fashions, the pretentiously healthy fusion food, the strange music, the rebellious zeal to protect the environment like it's a life's calling, and all the colourful, artsy things that hipsters love.

So it was no surprise that Alyaa and myself found ourselves making our annual pilgrimage to Urbanscapes, this year at Padang Astaka, to enjoy the shopping, the food, and the music. For the first time, Urbanscapes were featuring an international act, Sigur Ros, and Hijabster Princess Yuna, and tickets were selling out months before the event.

in which I randomly talk about music ...

Whenever I'm sitting at my office desk, either madly rushing out Action Plans like my keyboard was on fire, or sitting idly daydreaming and pretending procrastination was my actual job, I'm listening to music.

Music helps me concentrate. Music helps me write. Music helps me block out annoying Sales people who are hounding me for things, while I struggle to resist throwing my chair out the window. Music sometimes can be therapeutic  :)

In today's music industry, which is saturated with songs of questionable material values, sex, alcohol, getting wasted, not being a responsible human being, and Nicki Minaj, I'm happy to know there are still people out there who are making beautiful music.
