PlayBack: Yuletide Blends (album)

12/26/2016 05:49:06 PM

Since Christmas here in the Philippines runs from September to early January, it has been said that Christmas songs are very rampant; it is virtually present around every medium from traditional (radio and television) to the new ones (mobile and Internet). Musicians from their respective ages and genres do their respective covers in their own ways and means. 

While original albums like the vintage Christmas In Our Hearts do make a share of living, it is undeniable that a lot of singers belt their own cuts of those timeless holiday hits like Mariah Carey two decades ago (All I Want For Christmas Is You, O Holy Night).

That being said, here we segue to what has R & C Infinity Entertainment has been offering to everyone, dampening the spirit of holidays in what has been a grueling 2016 (well, so far).

Ito ang hirap sa mga tao dito sa Pilipinas eh. Gusto ng pagbabago, pero pag andyan na yung pagbabago, panay pa rin naman ang reklamo. Minsan, ang hirap lang lumugar.

Kung maalala, noong isang buwan ay inanunsyo na ang walong opisyal na kalahok sa ika-42 na Metro Manila Film Festival, bagay na umani ng samu't saring reasyon – pero isa sa mga ehekutibo ng kilalang film ang umangal.

The Scene Around: An Honest Mistake at ZILI

12/21/2016 02:39:50 PM 

As part of their recent visit in the country (their ninth, in fact!), Malaysian pop punk and rock band An Honest Mistake staged an intimate outing on a Sunday night in the Easternmost part – and a bit away from the nation's capitol Manila. And it's far different from what they had in their recent biggest gig Threadfest.

Starbucks Season

At kapag usapang Pasko, maraming kahulugan yan, either: kahulugan yan ng pag-silang ni Hesukristo na tinuturing na isang tagapagligitas at tinawag  na “emanwel”; isang araw na bagamat hindi ganun kasagrado sa mata nila ay nagpapakita lamang ng diwa ng pagmamahal sa sangkatauhan kahit sa isang araw man lang; o sa mata ng mga negosyante ay isa itong malaking peak season mula pelikula hanggang sale at kung anu-anong promo mula sa iyong mga paboritong brand.

I have a strange feeling that this second edition of WWE RoadBlock will look like just a bit extended RAW show in one way or another. Well, with seven matches – one on the kickoff show, expect half of them to be a bunch of extenders along the way with spiels and promo videos trying to do so help in an expected 3 ½ hour show to culminate the WWE PPV schedule of this year.

The Scene Around: Revolver Duality (Heels & Faces)

12/14/2016 10:31:03 AM

In a middle of a busy weekend, I had another raket aside from covering the E-sports and Gaming Summit; so that speaks for the reason why I am still in the down southern part of Metropolitan Manila during that Saturday night as manning the gates of Revolver's monthly gig.

The Scene Around: LRT 1 Soundtrack

LRT 1 Soundtrack just hit their third leg of a series so far this year, and it doesn't get any bigger than this with two instant crowd-drawers in the group of the up-comers right now.

StopOver: Route 196

10/25/2016 03:18:38 PM

When I first stormed by the indie music scene, this bar in the upper-terrain Blue Ridge was my first place-to-be. And why not? From my residence, it was just a mere 20-minute walk for me to reach there, unless I am lazy enough.

Established in 2006, Route 196 is tagged by many as the premier live music venue in the Northern side of Metropolitan. Located at just beside one the main gates of Blue Ridge Subdivision, it was barely accessible for every music lover, especially if a resident within the vicinity of Marikina-Project 4-Xavierville or studying at the Northern version of U-belt (UP and Ateneo).
