It's time for a Revolution!

One of the reasons I tend to stray away from clubs these days (apart from the abundance of weak drinkers who puke all over the dance floor, idiots who wear shades in clubs for no apparent reason, posers, girls with low-self esteem but high with entertainment value and the over-priced alcohol...) is because of the music they play!!!

I give credit to Zouk for having their Wednesd
ay's 'Mambo Jambo' (but even they stray away from the 50's) night, and a few other bars/pubs which play real good music. While I'm not saying EVERYONE has to like Oldies, Classic Rock and what not... but don't you think there should be a variety of clubs around?


Nearly all the clubs play trance, house, RnB, hip hop and all that crap. We may have different tastes in music, but dear Lord, what about the rest of us who appreciate other types of music!?

What I would give for a club that plays Rock, Oldies (50's, 60's, 70's) and such. Have a nice beer, a group of pals, and just enjoy the music. Ah, how nice that would be.

It saddens me when people pay no attention whatsoever to music that hasn't been played every hour on the radio. What about music from Paula Anka? Del Shannon? The Chordettes!?
Sure, we have Lite.fm... yes. That is ONE station in comparison to how many other stations which play that fat chicken wing, Sean Kingston and other crap they call music?

I even had the urge to one day, just out of the blue, dress up like the Fonz, or Danny Zuko, gel up my hair, get a nice black leather jacket, a comb, tight jeans... Okay, maybe when I put on a little more weight. But just you wait, I'll do it I tells ya!

Now, Humpathon's sister blog is http://headsandfists.blogspot.com/ and it is there that I intend to shed some light onto songs from the "distant" past. Oldies (50's, 60's, 70's), Classic Rock, funk... you catch my drift. I'm not saying I'm an expert on these genres, hell no. It's one of the reasons I'm writing there in the first place.

I want to make it a learning process for both me and my readers. Music like those mentioned above should be getting the respect and attention they deserve by us. Especially here in Malaysia where songs played on the radio or in clubs are automatically made a favorite. It happens so often.

Your feedback, opinions are most welcome. Tell me what you want posted and I will do my best to cater to your needs. (concentrating mostly on Oldies and Classic Rock of course) Now get going to HeadsandFists.com!
