PlayBack: Gabby Alipe – A New Strain (EP)

04/14/2017 11:27:32 PM



Just when everyone thought Gabby Alipe's music career (as a singer and songwriter) is over, we were wrong. And probably, he didn't looked like he left at all; we were even proved wrong when he released his six-tracked EP called A New Strain.

PlayBack: UDD - Sigurado

04/09/2017 07:47:32 PM

(Well, this was from one of their 2016 show, as far as I remember they had their identity changed since the turn of the year)
You can call me late-comer, but really, it took me some time to appreciate a very remarkable artist such as this band we all know for a decade already -- and before -- as Up Dharma Down.

The Scene Around: Revolver Vanquish (Babangon Ako at Dudurugin Kita)

12/14/2016 10:48:17 AM


They may have been four or five months since their return but I think it's still fitting to say that “Revolver Productions is back once again.” And they definitely did it a la classic Filipino movie title.

Gunning for Perfect 5?!

04/20/2017 01:09:14 AM

It was a roller-coaster ride during the 24-hour stretch of that Monday (17 April 2017) and Tuesday (18 April 2017) as Filipino wrestling fans were shocked in a variety of ways in regards of where we will be seeing the programs of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

The Scene Around: The Last Chapter Part 1

01/30/2017 10:36:47 PM

Maybe a lot of us thought of Halloween came too late when the dark goth collective Dissonance propelled a two-part gig series that served them a temporary farewell in making music. Yes, err... relax, they are just taking their time off from being a band as each of them focus on their personal endeavors.

Soul collective Apartel appeared to make another short movie out of their song – just as smilar to what they had done in their debut song Is It Hip?

Flick Review: Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank Part 2: #ForeverIsNotEnough

04/14/2017 10:54:52 PM

Just when you thought this film is about forever like that epic romance film last year, think again. Eugene Domingo stars in a sequel that depicted the current bullshits of mainstream cinema; an ironic mirroring reflection of the concluded Metro Manila Film Festival.

The Scene Around: Docdef at The Forage

04/09/2017 05:42:22 PM

Tracing the roots from the North and Eastern side of the Metro, it seems DocDef Prductions has found a new home in the name of The Forage Kitchen and Bar in Marikina City. Well, that's aside from that intimate rooftop cafe nearby Marcos Highway.

The Rundown Slam: NXT TakeOver: Orlando

04/14/2017 08:21:25 PM


The second of the five-night WrestleMania week saw the emergence of the NXT talents that has possibly overshadow the wrestling's grandest stage. And why not, since NXT Take Over Orlando emanated from the Amway center, the venue wherein the action happened for all the shows that had the connection to the The Ultimate Thrill Ride.

On Air: Mad Cat Midnight with Tanya Markova x Third World Improv x Demi

It's funny how much of being a radio kid has being rekindled in me as of late.

Thank You, Braun!

As much as I wanna star away from giving too many opinions for what's happening at the pro wrestling world, this video suddenly made me do otherwise.

Just when a lot of us thought that Roman Reigns will be a hell of a villain in the current landscape, we have seen this.

“Hindi Porket 'Di Nagsisimba Ay Masamang Tao Na.”

04/14/2017 02:52:19 PM

Alam ko: hindi ako isang pilosopo na maalam sa ispiritwalidad o relihiyon. In fact, isa lang akong hamak na indibidwal na minsan nagilingkod sa simbahan at nag-aral sa mga Catholic school sa halos buong buhay ko bilang estudyante.

Pero sa paglipas ng panahon aaminin ko na nag-iba rin ang pananaw at paniniwala ko. Bagamat naniniwala pa rin naman ako sa Dakilang Maylikha, masasabi ko na hindi na ako ganun sa relihiyon na kinagisnan ko. At kung may isang bagay man ako na pinaniniwalaan sa oras na ito, yun ay ang katotohanan na 'di porket hindi nagsisimba ang isang tao ay isa na siyang tarantado o masamang tao.

The Rise of The King of Strong Style

04/15/2017 12:07:41 AM

Over the past WrestleMania week, we have seen the Hardy Boyz made an epic comeback to the WWE/ We were also awed by the returning Finn Balor from a shoulder injury when he teamed up with his previous foe (and the same guy who accidentally injured him during that WWE Universal Championship battle) Seth Rollins.

But save Tuesday nights as the last hurrah for they have just earned the biggest prize from NXT this year – and no, it's not the Perfect Ten.

(They just rocked Visayas last month, but it was all hard work that paid off after a series of events in over a quarter-of-the-year-stretch.)

PlayBack: The Return of Matt & Jeff Hardy

04/14/2017 11:57:23 PM 

This past WrestleMania has seen a lot of big-fight feel moments such as turning the videogame-inspired story upside down, a proverbial (yet disappointing upset) and its rare dramatic way of closing the show.
