80% Pop Ratio
Published in the wee hours of November 18, 2005
First of all, right click on the photo and save it. Why? Sooner or later you just might need it. With the current upswing in the local music scene, you just might be looking at the members of the next big thing. We have the songs, and yes we’re big — physically. Hehe. Yesterday morning, [...]
Originals reloaded
Published in the wee hours of October 27, 2005
The greatest band in the Philippines had a jam this weekend, recording some fresh tracks. Pop Ratio on the other hand was busy recording in their very own Studio B facilities to provide some magic to their original songs. And produce a podcast to end all podcast shows, which we’ll probably release to the public [...]

My officemates were bugging me with my Mishka Adams photos, and Claire even took the time to use my contact form. Here they are, in Picasa2–edited glory.
Orange and Lemons
Published mid-afternoon of September 6, 2005
The band Orange and Lemons is definitely one cool local act with a sound that hints of new wave groups like The Smiths, something relatively fresh for the current crop of Filipino bands. “Hanggang Kailan” has made its mark, gaining good radio playtime; and with their song “Pinoy Ako” used in the Pinoy Big Brother [...]
Cueshe
Published in the wee hours of August 25, 2005
My latest CD review: Cueshe’s “Half Empty, Half Full.” This album is a good buy, the band rocks! Their pop appeal may not be as good as Hale, but they can surely stand their ground. I’m very proud to see another band from Cebu (or anywhere down south) hitting the bigtime. And if you’re looking [...]

Published in the early evening of August 21, 2005
This entry was written by Jonas, guess writing for Markku to introduce the songs Confused and Dito Ba. Here are the latest songs that Pop Ratio has to offer, fresh off the grill and onto your dining table… We’ve gone 3-piece again, seeing as Don has again managed not to arrive (as opposed to just [...]
Chilli Tees
Published in the early evening of August 17, 2005
An officemate’s band was features on Wave 89.1 yesterday, and they played for an hour, live on air! I’m not sure how to categorize their music, but Chilli Tees sounds fresh and promising.
Podcasted, again!
Published in the early evening of August 17, 2005
Brendan pinged us to let us know we’ve been podcasted, again! Crash makes it to his latest offering, which I must say raises some interesting issues between podcasting and traditional radio. Listen to the show.
Pop Ratio originals
Published in the early evening of August 11, 2005
I’ve been pimping my band Pop Ratio here on my weblog for how many entries now, so I guess it would be fitting to share with everyone our music. The first five tracks are originals, and the last is a cover which I shared recently. The originals are copyright Pop Ratio — share, spread the [...]
Ating Bawiin cover
Published mid-afternoon of August 9, 2005
Since I’ve been talking a lot about bands and music these days, you should grab this cover (mp3) of Rannie Raymundo’s “Ating Bawiin,” performed by an unnamed US–based pinoy band with Joachim Guanzon on the guitars with his beautiful Tele. This is from their Mahal Pa Rin Kita sessions just about a week ago. They [...]
