Docdef Productions staged their monthly gig at Route 196 in Quezon City; and it promised to be a heck of a Friday night to, at least, remember this September. This time, it was called Eurythmic.

The Rundown Slam: WWE Hell In A Cell 2016

11/08/2016 04:59:44 PM


We got triple main event matches that make this RAW-exclusive PPV as historically big as it gets. And why not? They were staging the 2016 edition of WWE's Hell In A Cell at the epic TD Garden in Boston, the place where the dominating Boston Celtics lives on.

But is it really epic or just plain dragging, considering the entire program lasted for five freaking hours; almost equalizing SummerSlam for that matter. They had an hour for the pre-show, 3 hours and 16 minutes for the main program and around 43 minutes for the fallout-like RAW Talk. While the programming has been making drastic changes (thanks to the WWE Network), five hours of wrestling in a Sunday can be really dragging, unless it's WrestleMania time.

Anyway, let's just slam the rundown, shall we?

PlayBack: An Honest Mistake - We're Alright

10/07/2016 12:39:55 AM

One of my friends from the synth pop known as Paranoid City tipped me into this. This is one of their friends they met in that big event held at Cebu City a few years ago. And later on, they were doing gigs both on the countries Malaysia, Philippines and even South Korea – in the recently Zandari Festa.

An Honest Mistake is a punk rock band from Malaysia. And they were rocking their homeland since 2008. But it was only this year when they released a single under major label Universal Music Malaysia.

Flick Review: Baka Siguro Yata

10/07/2016 01:18:44 AM 

Baka Siguro Yata is one of the first films I have seen here at Cinema '76. This 2015 Cinema One Original entry featured one of the best comedy flicks fit enough for family viewing. Talk about depicting love in multiple and more than romantical aspects, somewhat we might have seen in some of the mainstream rom-com movies.

PlayBack: Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (album)

10/10/2016 11:56:54 PM


Perhaps, it's no surprise why the French duo Daft Punk has been making exceptionally-good music since the 90s. The album Random Access Memories proved to be a living testament to it.

Flick Review: Ma'Rosa

I admit. I wasn't really a fan of the renowned director Brillante Mendoza nor have seen some of his works in reel form (unless you count the State of the Nation Address as one).

PlayBack: Tanya Markova - Ang Darling Kong Zombie

10/11/2016 04:34:54 PM

Mukha man silang gaya ng mga sinauna nilang musika (na medyo madilim, er, dark goth pop rock na whatever), tunog bago naman dahil sa panibagong single ito ng banda na kilala natin sa pangalang Tanya Markova.

PlayBack: Autotelic - Papunta Pabalik (Album)

10/10/2016 10:18:58 PM


From making J-rock inspired pop music that turned every gig into an instant mosh pit session, Autotelic has evolved from being a heavyweight indie band to a pop-rock “iyak sayaw” musicians when they signed with the MCA Music, And just months later, things were moving to the fast lane as this six-piece squad just released their debut album under the major label – and it's called “Papunta Pabalik.”

The Pre-take: WWE Hell In A Cell 2016

Basically, I shouldn't been doing PPV predictions since I end up having pre-takes for the RAW-exclusive events instead of both (largely, thanks to the cable channel since they have only those stuffs available).

But anyway, since one of my smarky friends swore allegiance to satisfy my cravings for professional wrestling... okay, might as well do this shit.

Hell is coming once again, and this time it was all red and exclusive as WWE's Monday Night RAW will be staging three matches inside the pay-per-view event we all liked to call Hell in a Cell.

The Scene Around: Monster Indie Ground 2

10/11/2016 02:59:34 AM

Monster RX 93.1 is giving the country's music scene a much even stronger exposure courtesy of Indie Ground, a music program that gives several bands from the indies a chance to be heard in the metro-wide radio.

And that being said, Monster Indie Ground staged three bar tours during their anniversary month (August 2016). Yours truly managed to storm by Black Kings Bar at West Triangle in Quezon City for the second leg of the event.

The Shot

10/28/2016 11:36:28 PM

It was the shot that seeming neutralized what has been a bunch of negative hypes that surrounded the league for the past season. Imagine one crowd-favorite team has finally made it to the promised land – a bit earlier from what has been expected from them.
