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. 

PlayBack: The Strangeness - Easy Boys and Easy Girls

I first heard them as part of that indie music program established and sponsored by a popular whiskey brand. They were listed track number 4 at the CD of Jack Daniel’s On Stage released on 2015.

The Strangeness is something I have never seen live; but one thing that impressed me most about them is they can make old school music sounded like new. The first thing I heard about them was a cover of my favorite Eagles song on YouTube.

The Scene Around: Jack Daniel's Indie Music Awards

4/20/2015 10:25:27 AM

Two icons, fourteen bands, numerous prestigious honors, and a “chosen one.”

If the mainstream music got The Script down there at the Mall of Asia Arena, then the indie scene had their big thing, too! And it was perfect in two ways: First, to rock the night away; and second, to start the weekend RIGHT. And I mean RIGHT (really!) as Jack Daniel’s staged their first ever JD On Stage Philippines Indie Music Awards at Whitespace Manila last Friday evening, 17 April 2015.
