broadcast: taking a super nice bus on the NS highway




No Miyagi this week (http://youtu.be/SAhi6d5VzHo), just mrbrown and Mr Tan (yes he is back!) podcasting from a noisy Super Nice coach to Kuala Lumpur.

We were supposed to take a premium coach (like those from the Aeroline and the Nice bus companies), which I booked online, but for some reason, I ended up booking tickets for Thursday for all six of our party, when we were supposed to depart Friday. Of course, I only discover this on the taxi to the pickup point, on Friday morning itself.

So we ended up on a Super Nice bus (that's what this competitor called its buses).

We decided to podcast our experience travelling up the North-South Highway, including cultural experiences like stopping over at Yong Peng rest stop, and being participants of, er, police entrepreneurialism.

This audio podcast does not contain "explicit political content" because that is prohibited during the election period under the Singapore's Election Advertising Regulations.

Blink-947 Biography (Part 1: Early days to The Last Hairblender EP)

This has come up with new plans when I formed my new band, putting my previous band National Hardy Band on hold in July 2011. In August 2011, NHB has been forced to take a break because of new bands Blink-947 and the Lollipops, and in October, NHB has already entered an "indefinite hiatus". 

This has been followed when my band managers met me at the school when I have my new band. After moving into projects, I began working for Punk-o-Matic 2, the online game is on punk-o-matic.net. After that, the production of the hits were finished in January 2013, and back in June 2012, I've been adding new friends into my band. Earlier this year in January, there is one more new bandmate joining.

Soon, Punk-o-Matic: The Collections 1, 2 and 3 will be releasing on 18 May, 11 July and August 2nd this year and there's a new EP, Punk-o-Matic Demo A (released on 29 March 2013 on my band's Bandcamp page) and The Last Hairblender EP will be released on the 29 August 2013 (later moved up to 8 August 2013).
