Musical Baton

Mathias passed me the baton, so I’ll get this out quick. I need some sleep. Total volume of music files on my computer. I currently have around 16 GB of music on my PC, and then some on our iPod. The last CD I bought. The latest legal music CD I bought was Inuman Sessions […]

Pop Ratio

Warning: This entry doesn’t make much sense. 1995, pisay. Nothing really mattered back then, just the simple worries of youth. All we did was play, play, and play again. And then there was the band. Five boys dreaming of making it big, with the Eraserheads as our role model. Hoping for our own “Pare Ko” […]

Constantine

Watching American Idol a few hours ago, it was really sad to see Constantine Maroulis leave after looking pretty solid for several weeks. Performances for this week weren’t exactly superb, and it boiled down to the last few thousand votes probably. Paula was crying, and with good reason. I think Constantine (and his band?) can […]

Tagged!

Joey tagged me with this musical quiz of sorts, so here goes my answers. Random 10 — I’m quite surprised how pleasantly my ten random songs came out. I just loaded all the songs in my WA5 library and toggled shuffle, then listened to the first ten. Nice. 🙂 Kevyn Lettau – Far Away John […]

I’m doing some markup optimizations on the side for an online magazine, and I’m shamefully delayed in gettings things done — sorry. […]

Bamboo: As The Music Plays

Listening to this CD I got from my girlfriend for my birthday, I can’t help but recall the old Rivermaya days—a unique blend of vocal talents. The Bamboo Mañalac–Rico Blanco sound was simply unrivalled during the mid–nineties, when the Filipino band scene was very much alive and kicking. Fast forward to 2004 and we have […]

American Idol

Last night, I watched the performances of Americal Idol’s final twelve on StarWorld, and I must say that most of them were very good. Jasmine Trias’ rendition of Natalie Cole’s Inseparable was the best for the evening! Filipinos have been rooting for the two half–pinoys, Jasmine and Camile Velasco, and I really hope they stay […]

SMB Oktoberfest

Just heard from Karl that there was a riot at the closing concert of this year’s SMB Oktoberfest at the SM Megamall. Good thing they left right away when they realized things were getting out of hand. Another guy was fortunate enough to survive the chaos and live to tell the tale.
