PlayBack: We Are Imaginary – A Good Kind Of Sad (music video)

04/14/2017 08:41:12 PM

It was a different concept, apart from what this pop band's music video more known of – full of imagery, lighted by humor.

The Rundown Slam: PWR Wrevolution X 2017

05/07/2017 12:24:33 AM


This Sunday saw the Philippine wrestling scene is alive (and kicking, in fact!) no matter how tough the road they have taken the past year, and a show called Wrevolution X was the icing on the cake.

And we're not talking about community of fandom here. While everyone may have been talking about how shitty the WWE has been writing as of late, plus TV5 getting the rights to air SmackDown Live episodes, we have a packed house in the central area of the metropolitan which staged the banner show of Philippine Wrestling Revolution.

Earth Day Running Trash

05/06/2017 05:53:19 PM

Isa sa sa mga kadalasang nangyayari sa atin ang magkaroon ng katambak na basura matapos ang isang malakihang pangyayari o event. Madalas na yan sa mga pulitika, relihiyon, pang-aliw (as in entertainment) at ultimong simpleng piknik party lang ng komunidad kung minsan. At hindi exempted dito ang mga running event.

Lalo na kung usapang “Earth Day” pa. Taun-taon ginaganap ang Earth Day run, di ba?

Pero dapat ba taun-taon rin ang mga ganitong pangyayari?

The Scene Around: WAT UP Mix Vol. 10

01/28/2017 08:45:02 PM



WAT UP Mix Vol. 10 proved to be one of the most crowded gigs so far from this production. With around 200 people in attendance, the event has sent SaGuijo into full house on a Friday night. The performances from seven bands – plus an artistic magical stint from Magic Manila – has kept everyone glued in their grounds.

Na-bobo si "Ano"

05/03/2017 10:32:19 PM

BOBOSEN. Pag bobo mode na naman si Titosen.

As in “na naman,” kasi panigurado na pang-ilang beses na naman siya nag-screw up sa kanyang tanang-panahon sa pamumulitika.

PlayBack: MilesExperience - Anggulo (Music Video)

03/21/2017 10:29:12 PM

Every single time I have seen Jiggy Gregorio's music videos with either MilesExperience or Tanya Markova, he has this certain technique that has something to do with utilization of other songs, which can be right in certain ways as long as it relates to the project.

The Scene Around: Paranoid City "Metropolitan" Album Launch

05/01/2017 10:11:40 PM

Probably six years is a very long wait for any music personality or group to release a record comprised of a number of his/her works, especially original songs. And somehow, it was worth the long, grueling, test of time for eleven times out of ten.



This past Friday, though, was no exemption, as Paranoid City finally welcomed everyone to the place they'd like to be known as “Your METROPOLITAN SynthPop Destination.” Yes, after 2011's Viewfinder Dreams, the band just launched their sophomore album titled Metropolitan at SaGuijo, Makati City.

On Air: Indie Nation with BennyBunnyBand

04/14/2017 08:55:14 PM

Indie Nation premiered on Home Radio 97.9 during that early January; making it another item to join a trend of promoting Philippine music at this age and time. It's quite funny that it also marked the first time I dropped by on a radio station once again after a very long time. Well, at least to support my friends and this kind of scene as well.

The Pre-take: PWR Wrevolution X

04/29/2017 05:52:18 PM


As much as I want to stray away from making predictions on other wrestling shows, that made me think otherwise; like... why not? 

Apparently, this will be the first time I hit Philippine Wrestling Revolution's premier show (simple, a counterpart to WWE's WrestleMania, or  NJPW's annual January 4 show called WrestleKingdom) since 2015, during their staging at the crowded (and hottest) Makati Sqaure in May 2015.

The Scene Around: Cunejo Album Bar Tour (Nov. 2016)

04/14/2017 09:24:11 PM

It was in a random November evening when my partner General Miss A asked me to join her at Mang Rudy's Tuna Papaitan and Grill as one outing of the pop band Cunejo had their bar tour at the venue. She was then on her photographer duties.

StopOver: Kalanggaman Island

04/15/2017 07:33:48 PM


It was in the middle of my 9-day (or so) journey at Leyte when my relatives decide to do something that probably had been raring to do when it comes to family trip – and we mean going on an island. That said, Kalanggaman island is one of the recently-noticeable spots in the country.

The Scene Around: The Last Chapter Part 2

01/30/2017 10:52:26 PM

From LRT Soundtrack in Manila, this one became my second gig of the evening as We Are The Underdogs Productions capped the last of the two-part gig series for this cult called Dissonance: The Last Supper.

The Scene Around: TheSunManager Worth Album Bar Tour 1

04/15/2017 09:24:34 PM

After a packed evening at Route 196, TheSunManager is back and were on the roll to spread the word. April Hernandez's solo has gone bigger and with a full-length album that has been worth the wait for the fans of her indie-folk music.

PlayBack: Flying Ipis - Walust (Music Video)

03/21/2017 10:16:07 PM

Probably we have heard Flying Ipis belting lyrics out of sensuality manner most of the time. The difference is that this femme fatale quartet usually pulled them off in a very loud, straightforward badass sound known as punk rock.
