10 resolution ideas for Music Junkies for 2015

1. Find and fall in love with at least one new artist's music (brownie points for an artist who sings in a different language from yours)

2. Stop free styling and try to remember the actual lyric (only to forget it later)

3. Listen to the songs you have waaaay too many memories and emotions attached to. (happy, or sad, or both. Catharsis is good for the soul)

4. Listen to an artist you may have previously judged. (because saying, xyz artist sucks. Just isn't enough. Find proof. Use it as a legit reason)

5. Listen to a new genre of music and try to appreciate it's existence.

6. Find a new favorite song, every month. (or at least try to, without making a face.)

7. Try to get through the songs you hate the most. Do one song every month. (this is going to be a tough one, but it helps you test your endurance.. and sometimes, you'll come to find that the song isn't all that bad. Come on, DO IT.)

8. Make more friends based on your common love of music

9. Attend at least one music festival in a year

10. Share more music, educate the witless. (music is educational, even if Pink Floyd said sang "We don't need no education..")

On that note, we sign off.

Until next time, Keep it Musical!

5 Reasons why making a mixtape is an art and a craft!

1. It means a lot to the maker and the receiver

When you make a mixtape for someone, to an extent it suggests a certain level of comfort, and a shared understanding of each others' musical inclinations. To the one who makes it, they're literally sharing a piece of their lives (considering the time and energy that goes into creating the perfect mix.) For the ones at the receiving end, it's like being given the moon and they're not sure how to take it.

Figure out if your listener is a music person, a lyrics person or a music and lyrics person, before you begin shortlisting singles.

Besides, depending on the theme, they might be touched to the core, or repulsed to the core.

#Muzenlytip - Have a theme, based on a common factor between the maker and the receiver. There's a song for every occasion/emotion/ situation, so find your occasion/emotion/situation, and you'll have a good point to start.

2. It tells a story

Every song is a story, and your mixtape could stand for anything that you want it to stand for.

#Muzenlytip - Start and end with happy music, and try not to have sad songs placed one after the other.

3. It reflects on your knowledge of the other person's taste

Putting a B.E.P track, or even worse Justin Beiber track on a Metallica and Pearl Jam lovers mixtape, is the easiest way to get a bloody nose.

#MuzenlyTip - Unless you feel confident you know the receivers' music taste, and you're sure you're not being lied to.

4. It reflects on your own musical tastes

As mentioned in #3, wrongly placed musical tracks will have you judged, up to an extent, and if the mismatch is as severe as that, you might just end up losing friends or a girlfriend/boyfriend.

#Muzenlytip - Tread with caution.

5. It is suggestive

Unless you really want to send a strong message to the receiver, leave out any songs that lead the listener's thoughts in a certain direction.

#Muzenlytip - Making a mixtape is like sending the listener on a journey, that you undertook and want them to be a part of.

All things said and done, it is by far, the sweetest, the most thoughtful gesture, and the best gift to give anyone who means anything to you.

5 Reasons a Music Festival is always a good idea

So there's a new music fest. around the corner and you're not so sure you'd enjoy it as much.. Well in such a situation the only question that matters, really is whether or not the festival music is your kind or not. Once that answer is arrived upon, nothing else matters.

So your answer is a yes. But you still have apprehensions about going Han Solo, well, don't worry. If anything these 5 reasons will help you know for sure why going for the festival might just be the best thing you'll do for yourself.

#1. An entire day (and sometimes days) of your favorite music, non stop. As if that wasn't enough, you'll see enough and more to recolor your instagram profile, because who doesn't love a #festivalfeed.

#2. A whole lot of other people who have one thing, one very powerful thing, in common with you - your taste in music.

#3. The friendships and experience is something you'll always look back upon fondly.

#4. You'll be able to sing along, dance along, basically just lose yourself to the music, without having anyone to judge you.

#5. Worst case scenario - one of your favorite artists, or bands decides to end their musical career, and the fest you thought you'd give a miss, was the last one they'd ever be a part of. Think about how horrible you'd feel then.

For your sake, we wish you never have to experience #5.

Music festivals in a way bring you closer to who you are, reinforce life in all its grandiose ways, and definitely must be experienced at least once in a lifetime.

So go on, get packing, get booking, get ready to get groovy!

5 Reasons Sunburn 2014 should not be missed.

Hello people of the world!

If you're familiar with or feeling the Sunburn Effect, (and not the one that follows a day in the harsh sun) you will have already booked your tickets for the festival which will change the way you feel the beat. :)

The Sunburn Effect (for those unaware) is the intense feeling of ecstasy tinged with anxiety [mostly the kind that takes over a person when they're about to meet or even just see the person(s), like a (bunch of) God(s) of sorts, who has profoundly changes their life] prior to one of the largest EDM fests in all of Aisa - Surnburn.

If you haven't already booked your tickets or aren't feeling the initial rushes of excitement (then maybe you're not really into EDM or you've ventured into it only recently), well whatever the case may be here's 5 reasons you should absolutely -NOT- miss the festival this year.

#4 This Energy -

#5 This Music -

All said and done, the Festival is in its eighth year, this year, and the response to it has been phenomenal. According to this article on their website the attendance for the festival is more than 150,000 people. (man that's a lot of people!) Which speaks for itself, in terms of, not only how popular the festival is, but also how many hearts it touches with every event.

Music, they say does have the power to change lives, and nothing says it better than this -

All Aboard!

Asia's largest music festival that happens on a cruise is now 19 days away from setting sail on a massive Carribean Cruise Liner which departs from Singapore on the 21st of this month to kick-start a festival so amazing, you'll wonder why you never booked for it before.

With a lineup that's as maddeningly awesome as this, it would be a crime to not hop aboard if everything works out well (you know, money wise..) If 3800 people, (yes 3800) can make it, why can't you and I be one of them? Judging by the arrangements and lineup and even their website, it seems like an out of the world experience, the kind of festival which is not only fun to attend, but even organize. If this quote by Muhammad Iqbal (Group Chief Executive Officer) of The Livespace Group, is anything to go by, this festival seems like an absolute blast!

“... IT’S THE SHIP was born out of an idea of wanting to provide music fans in the region with a unique, one-of-a-kind festival experience never before seen on this part of the world, by merging both the relaxed atmosphere of a vacation and the fun experience of a world-class music festival into one.”
