69 Filipino songs that rocked my life in 2010s (Part 4)

It's a shame that it took me two months to finish this personal project. I initially had this in mind since late November and worked on the draft by mid-December. Anyway, here it goes...

Ten years ago, I tried coming up with a list of my favorite songs of the decade here in this blog. Unfortunately, I ended up shelving it as I got more busy with college studies and post-disaster recovery.

Ten years later, here I am compiling the nices bunch among the decade full of best local music. There we saw a shock pop turning things around, as well as one notable act putting up an all-English album, a plethora of emerging bands in the mid-2010s, and a former frontman standing on his own.

The Scene Around: Oh, Flamingo! EP Launch

1/10/2016 3:08:31 PM

Perhaps one of the bands who emerged the most this 2015, Oh Flamingo arrived in the nick of time to release their EP last 14 November 2015 at the full-house Route 196 in Quezon City. Yes, just days after they released their new single Two Feet on Jam 88.3 and two weeks before winning the Wanderband contest; thus, being the top Philipine band to perform at the Wanderland festival this coming year!

The Scene Around: WOWOWOWS SANTA KLAUS

I remember: going to SaGuijo with barely less than 30 minutes before the show rolls, a taxi wanted to make a one-time flag down fare going there, and it was priced 400 pesos. I kindly refused, though on my mind utters such harsh words: Hey, I don't even spend 200 whenever I go from here to Ayala. Lakas mong manlamang ha?

But anyway, I got a more friendly (and a fair-pricey) one going there at Makati for this heck-of-a-gig-slash-Christmas Party,

Play 4 Serve and Locked Down Entertainment’s Group Study had its one last run for 2015, and it’s not a school tour this time around as SaGuijo was the place for be on that evening of Saturday, 26 December 2015. And it’s called WOWOWOWS SANTA KLAUS.

Ito ang nakakamiss sa pagiging bata. Playback tayo sa taong 2008, noong binuo ng banda ni Raimund Marasigan ang kantang nagpapaalala sa  atin ng mga alaala noong tayo’y bata pa.

Nagsilibing tributo ang kantang Betamax ng bandang Sandwich sa iba’t ibang artista sa iba’t ibang genre ng early contemporary music sa Pilipinas. Kung mapapakinggan mo ‘to ng ilang beses o mababasa mo ang lyrics nito na nakakalat lang sa internet (siyempre, i-google mo na lang yan, ‘tol), nabanggit dito ang mga pamagat ng kanta at mga pangalan na tila alamat na sa industriya ng OPM sa nakalipas na apat na dekada, kasama ang Woodstock, OPM rock, rap, disco pop, romantic ballad, mainstream pop at iba pa.
