To-day I have many footage to share with you!<\/p>\n

For starters, I done another music video. To stay up-to-date, you may feel free to screen<\/a> the first one, for Cloud Cult\u2019s \u201cWhen Water Comes To Life\u201d before proceeding to this next, newest, gnarliest selection.<\/p>\n

It was shot\/edited with my phone, so it doesn\u2019t exactly look professional-like; but I think the words and images fit together quite well. And in re the title, there\u2019s as much \u2013 or more \u2013 footage from Hat Yai, in Thailand, than from Kuala Lumpur. But the latter is where I conceived of the project and began shooting, so, we\u2019ll leave the title as is.<\/p>\n

Also from KL, a brand-new dancing video. When I visited back January, before transiting to Indonesia, the song \u201cSakitnya Tuh Disini\u201d was all the rage at this one particular video shoppe near to my hostel. It was playing in an endless loop, with another song by the same artist receiving an occasional (let\u2019s say, one out of twenty plays) turn in the sun as well. Returning in March, I was more than a little surprised to learn that \u201cSakitnya Tuh Disini\u201d is not only still ruling that particular shoppe\u2019s charts, but is rocking and rolling in other shoppes all up and down the street. The song\u2019s got staying power (and, indeed, it is<\/em> quite infectious)!<\/p>\n

The official videos can be seen online: \u201cGoyang Dumang<\/a>\u201d and \u201cSakitnya Tuh Disini<\/a>\u201d. The second KL Dancing vid, below, includes hardly any dancing. It\u2019s quite common to see people getting their groove on outside the video store, but when one attempts to take footage, they get all stagefrightened and discontinue their ass-bumping ways. But, here\u2019s, at least, a bit of the scene outside the shoppe.<\/p>\n

I walked by this joint many, many times for the sole purpose of seeing whether the song is still in endless loop. As of my departure, it still was. Will be curious to learn, in a future visit, whether it\u2019s still the top of the heap.<\/p>\n

But lest the foregoing might could give one the impression that KL has cornered the solo-dancing-in-public market for Malaysia, the following, from George Town, should suffice to disabuse any such notion.<\/p>\n

Was in George Towny Town for only a few days\u2019 stopover between KL and Hat Yai. Shall return for a proper visit as soon as Durian season instantiates.\u00a0 But even this briefest of visits was lovely in the extreme.\u00a0 Let the above and below video clips be exhibits B and A respectively proving that George Town is the cat\u2019s meow.<\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/p>\n

A few pics as well.\u00a0 Okay, maybe it doesn\u2019t quite match the Indonesian coast\u2019s show-stopping scenery \u2013 but George Town\u2019s sunsets\u2019ve still got game when it comes to dropping the awesome \u2013 not to mention it\u2019s the all-time architecture and street-art champeen. (Also included, a few obligatory shots of KL\u2019s omnipresent twin towers…)<\/p>\n
