That CD Shop – chillout titles

ByVanessa Tan

Unusual tracks, independent labels.
Above: Albums I purchased today. Most were on sale.
Some warehouse in the UK closed down, and That CD Shop’s buyer was quick to snap up a shelf full of dance and chillout titles – and pass on the discount to their customers. You know how much ‘Import’ CDs usually cost. Well, these titles are going from $4.90 to $12.90!
Anyway, I love That CD Shop. There’s a guy who always recommends the best tracks for me (depending on my mood – jazz, groove, chillout …). Sometimes he gives me background information behind each album. He also remembers which albums I’ve already bought, from previous visits. It’s amazing.

I’ve got 8 tickets booked and have just invited two other Uni mates whose deep knowledge of music heavily influenced my songwriting style. I owe quite a bit to them. Hope they can make it….

    More drummer drama I certainly hope this isn’t a curse, but we nearly lost our (third) drummer today. My band, the Moon Jumpers, met up for a practice session this evening. However, our drummer, J, informed me he was going to be late. So we practised using pre-programmed beats (which in a way was good…

    Is it just me, or is the Singapore Idol online registration page still unavailable? I tried loading it on IE after Firefox failed to load it. Still, it didn’t work.

  • The Episcopalians…

    ByVanessa Tan

    … that’s most likely the name of my new jazz band. Considering that we have little else in common save for the fact that each member comes from a different Anglican Church in Singapore. The drummer’s from St John’s-St Margaret’s, the bassist is from St James’, the second keyboardist is from St Andrew’s and yours…

    Tomorrow, I will be playing keyboards at St George’s Church, which is hosting a fundraising event for the Missions to Seafarers. We will play a good number of Christmas Carols and there will be singing by old-timers and children. If you’ve got time to spare do come! You’ll get to see half of the Moon…

  7. HI Van,
    I stumbled upon your site and I see you have picked up Mark Farina! He’s good with what he’s doing. Interestingly, I interviewed him when he was in SG to spin in Zouk and he’s really nice in person.
    Hope you enjoyed the music 🙂
    If you download music, maybe you wanna sample : Seeds by Smith & Mighty? Let me know if you like it.
