Hello world!

To celebrate this little cog’s entry into the great machinery called the blogosphere, I present to you my first entry  in the form of a song by a Malaysian band called One Buck Short. The song is titled 10.04.

What’s so cool about the song is it’s about some stuff that happens in one of the greatest movie ever made… no silly, not the Senario series but the silver screen masterpiece by Mr Zemeckis.. Back to the Future.

In the spirit of “Buy Ori”, I won’t put rips that are readily available on Auntie Youtube… as it’s just plain wrong and the band needs to eat and do whatever people in bands do.

And heaven forbid, I don’t want my first blog entry to resemble a some teenager’s blog with cut and pasted lyrics… I do have my pride y’know so Uncle Google would be your best friend.

Listening to the song, I spotted 4 direct references to the movie. These are:

• Song title. 10:04 is the time which lightning struck the clock tower
• Enchantment Under the Sea: the theme for the highschool dance
• Earth Angel: first song Marty played during the dance
• Marty singing Johnny B Goode: another song Marty McFly played during the dance

This song pleasantly surprised me as the tune is great and catchy and anyone who sings about BTTF is cool beans in my book. So go buy their CDs and support the Malaysian music scene.
