A little over ten years ago, we dreamed of making it big. It was the OPM era, with bands sprouting like wild grass all over the country, much like now. We learned every OPM hit song, playing them like we were our own. Our Pisay batchmates would often tease us as big Eraserheads wannabes, and […]
This is late, but I forgot to mention it last time so I will now. Pop Ratio was featured in a podcast! We were on show #35 at Incoherent Ramblings, and I personally see it as a significant milestone in our band’s 10-year existence. Oh my, we’re really that old? Many thanks to Brendan and […]

Instead, you can login to gmail […]
I just mentioned my review of Hale’s rookie release, and I’m sure you’d love to see the lyrics to all their songs. So here they are: Take No Broken Sonnet Blue Sky The Day You Said Goodnight Wishing Here Tonight Kahit Pa Life Support Underneath the Waves Runaway Bent Down Kung Wala Ka Now go […]
Hale is probably Manila’s hottest music act right now, with girls screaming and jostling their way to the stage anywhere the band plays. No doubt you’ve heard their song “The Day You Said Goodnight” at least once daily for the past week, and there’s nothing wrong with that — it’s a beautiful song. After more […]
I finally have my review of “Light Peace Love,” Bamboo’s sophomore record I mentioned recently. It’s a piece of quality music but not exactly comparable to “As The Music Plays,” and I mean that both in a positive and negative way. “Hallelujah” is no “Noypi,” but it’s beautiful nonetheless. Read on for more of my […]
I just got copies of Bamboo’s “Light Peace Love” and Hale’s debut release this weekend. Bamboo’s sophomore record is quite pleasing, though may alienate those expecting something resembling their first album “As The Music Plays.” Hale is surprisingly good. Complete reviews of both CDs available soon at your neighborhood sari-sari store.
I’ve been looking for a CD of the album released by The Jerks several years ago, containing the songs Rage and Sayaw Sa Bubog, and many other great ones. Record stores tell me it’s now out of print. Can you help me? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I just heard from friends here at the office that Carrie Underwood beat Bo Bice for the fourth American Idol title. The rocker should’ve won, and I’m sure a lot would agree.
