Not here, not there, but somewhere in the middle

I heard the the morning guys reveal Jazz Selecta’s URL this morning. Quite odd seeing how we haven’t ‘officially’ launched this site yet. It’s kinda in its “Pasar Malam” stage right now. It’s officially up and running though with updates here and there. If you’d like to link us to your site this is the URL for our banner: http://jazzselecta.alldatjazz.com/wp-content/jazzselectasmallbanner.jpg and don’t forget the URL for this page is http://jazzselecta.alldatjazz.com (I wonder if people will find this page if they type www.jazzselecta.alldatjazz.com cause I believe that’s what Greenman said this morning. Anywho…. I don’t have much to say about last week’s interview with Gruv Avenue. I was at home with a massive headache. Hit the pillow around 10 p.m. till 10 a.m. the next morning! Will get the updates from Jezza soon. In the mean time, I was listening to this song by the Magnetic Fields (they’re not really jazz ) and they have a song called “Love is Like Jazz”. And like what jazz is - formless - raw - so is the song. It sounds like something the beatniks would recite in some poetry reading. Anyway, I was quite fond of the lyrics:
Love is like jazz You make it up as you go along and you act as if you really know the song but you don’t and you never will so you flaunt your mistakes and you make them until they were you. Love is like jazz the same song a million times in different ways “Strange Fruit” with and without wind chimes. It’s divine. It’s asinine. It’s depressing and it’s almost entirely window dressing but it’ll do
Well that’s it for my rambling this afternoon.
Malaysia’s ONLY jazz show on-air.

Hi Maya,
Nice to hear that Greenman mentioned about your blog this morning on the Big Breakfast Show!
Like you, I also missed GruvAvenue’s interview with Jezza. But some friends were listening in and said it went very nicely.
Thanks to both you and Jezza for promoting the Malaysian Jazz scene! Take care and catch up with you both soon!
Unofficially, officially launched!
I hesitate to blog about the following as it has not been officially launched yet but as Greenman mentioned it this morning on the Traxx.FM Morning Xpress, I’ll just throw caution to the wind.
