There was a recent period in my life that I didn't listen to music in my car. This went on for many years. I don't remember when it started. Probably about the time Wow.fm stopped airing.
But I do remember why I was fed up with our Malaysia radio. It was the cringe-worthy ads that made me swear off radio forever.
However, recently, I've been tuning in to a couple of favourite stations again. The ads, sadly, are still there, as awful as ever. But the music these days have saved my sanity many a time during Malaysia's infamous traffic jams.
Songs like:
Starlight by Muse
Pari-Pari Bawah Angin by Meet Uncle Hussain
Mawar Khayalan by Laila's Lounge
Viva La Vida by Coldplay
Apologize by One Republic
"You suka tak lagu ni, sayang?" I asked Zane, as Mawar Khayalan was being played on youtube.com.
"My taste and your taste different," was all he said.
Right. I should've known. Heehee. After all, this was a man who listens to Klasik Nasional in his vintage car.
In some ways, Zane and I are worlds apart. Our choice of music, books, art, expression, poison, fashion.
But for all the things that count, we are of one heart.
