liz claiborne, rest in peace

by azwanmahzan on Thursday, 28th June 2007

Here at JUICE, we don’t normally pay any mind to the art establishment, because we’re so so avant garde like that. But respect where respect is due, this lady was considered mainstream only because she’s been bucking trends for three decades and change, and that’s pretty solid by our, or indeed anyone’s, standards.
After years of [...]

second fest: second to none

by azwanmahzan on Tuesday, 26th June 2007

Second Life. If the name sounds unfamiliar to you, you’ve only managed to scrape the bare surface of the Internet. Arguably the fastest, most immersive online experience there is (and I say experience because it’s not a game, it’s not a social networking site, it’s not an auction service - it’s all of those things [...]

mark ronson + lily allen + kaiser chiefs = oh my god

by azwanmahzan on Monday, 25th June 2007

I mean, what is it with this guy? He’s rich - am I right in assuming his family is the Ronson family, of the disposable lighter fame? let me know - fairly good looking, owns his own label, and hangs out with people who stuff People on the regular. Mark Ronson’s Version album is steadily [...]

witness the birth of LL COOL A

He kept on hinting at it, but well, there you go: we dullards weren’t ready anyway. Altimet, onetime founding member of the Teh Tarik Crew, opened the evening’s proceedings at the Anugerah Planet Muzik in Singapore last week. With a whole contingent of traditional Javanese dancers, and the ever-delectable Mawar Berduri of Ahli Fiqir supplying [...]

rawk out your costume

by davidchin on Monday, 11th June 2007

Halloween comes early this year with our big birthday bash rolling in at the end of the month, because this year we’re throwing a rock fest with dress up compulsory.
Put on those grunge threads from your closet of the 90s or dig deeper for 80s glam rock togs or even all the way back to [...]

JUICE 5th birthday party

by davidchin on Monday, 11th June 2007

JUICE turns FIVE this month and we’re gonna rock the Casbah! Or something like that. Pull out those ripped jeans, punk up that mullet and prepare for a night of insane rock music as we crank up the guitars, bang the drums and build the biggest moshpit ever. Head bang, body surf or play air [...]

there’s a reason why akon is lonely

Aren’t you glad he didn’t pull this sh*t when he was down in KL?

global gathering. here. you better believe it.

by azwanmahzan on Thursday, 7th June 2007

When Angel Music Group, the guys behind the massively popular Godskitchen event series wanted to up the ante a little bit, they asked themselves, “What would be bigger than God? What would be bigger than God’s kitchen?” Why, a Global Gathering, of course.
Since its first instalment outside of the UK last year (where GG rocked [...]

hooray for the asians

by davidchin on Wednesday, 6th June 2007

We love the fact that MadTV isn’t under Viacom. Or we wouldn’t have been able to check this one out.
Obviously this video is on to our mass-Asian conspiracy to take over the world and flood it with cheap imitation goods and MSG-laden food. Comrades, we need a new plan of action.

i’m guessing you’re not so thrilled it’s monday

by azwanmahzan on Monday, 4th June 2007

Hey. Don’t stress yourself out. (Any more than you already have.) It happens, trust me. Monday is the bane of human existence for just about 95% of the population over 18. The remaining 5% is comprised of freelance artists with direct access to Daddy’s bank account and corporate figureheads who singlehandedly built their companies from [...]
