Some Americans spent Thursday nights on NBC watching shows that would make us laugh our asses off. For international fans like us Filipinos, this could mean weeknights on our respective local channels.

Araw ng mga bayani bukas, at holiday ang araw ng Lunes na habang sinusulat ko ang piyesa na ito.

At dalawampung taon na ang kantang ito ni Kiko. Mula sa album na Happy Battle noong 1996. Ni-release ito ng BMG Records Pilipinas at Greater East Asia Music.

It’s been a throwback Thursday again as of this writing. And just two days ago, perhaps a lot of 90s kids and babies went to the Mall of Asia Arena for a “one-night-only” event for all the ages – talk about Backstreet Boys back in Manila. 

All that despite N’SYNC’s epic line goes “It’s gonna be MAY!”

Sa dinami-rami ng mga naglipanang balita noong nakaraang linggo, pasensya na kung magpapakashowbiz muna ako ha, pero ito lang yata nag pinakamagandang narinig ko: Jolina Magdangal balik-Kapamilya na, at magtatambal ng kanyang dating kaloveteam na si Marvin Agustin sa isang teleserye.

Oo, tangina, seryoso ako sa sinabi ko. Yan lang yata ang pinakamagandang balita narinig ko. Hindi dahil sa isa akong 90s baby na namulat ang kamalayan sa mga tulad nila ha? Pero ewan ko.

Throwback Saturdays

Being still a radio fanatic for more than a decade already, I used to grow up listening to the music of the past, especially if it sounds like it was way back from my childhood days. And it’s been a long time when old-soul type of people like me missed those 90s tracks, and have been craving for them to get aired on radio again.

Besides, who will deny that the 90s music was one of the last best things ever heard nowadays? Well, two stations used to offer a playlist consisting of the music coming from the very last decade of the second millennium.

ALAMAT. (A Fan’s Tribute to Master Rapper)

Isang alamat na maituturing. Isa sa mga tao na nakapagpabago o humubog ng takbo ng musika sa Pilipinas. Sino ba naman ang hindi makakalimot sa kanyang mga kanta na nagsasalamin sa iba’t ibang mga tema at mensahe? Nakipagsabayan kila Andrew E at sa mga tulad ng bandang Rivermaya at Yano noong Dekada ’90? Ang nakasama nila Ely Buendia ng Eraserheads, ang bandang Greyhoundz, Si Chito Miranda at ang kanyang Parokya ni Edgar, ang grupong Death Threat na kinabibilangan ng isa sa kanyang mga nagging kaibigan at tagahanga at ngayon, ay sumusunod sa yapak niya na si Gloc-9?

Hindi matatawaran ang kontribusyon ni Francis Magalona sa indistriya ng musika. Napakalupit lang.

Throwback Weekend Programming

I wish I could include RX 93.1's Monstrous Riot here, but its schedule falls on the mid-week. Anyway, to start things out, if you are an FM radio lover, regardless of what station you are patronizing, you will notice this: for seven days that it airs, there will be like a day or two for playing classic songs.
