The Scene Around: Fete dela Route 196

05/27/2015 07:01:11 PM

It was hot, but nobody expect to have a massive rainfall during the evening.


But did the weather stop the people from rocking out loud that night? I don't think so. I even thought for a second, these guys forgot—or rather, did not give a fuck—about the concluding episode of that one popular teleserye on ABS-CBN.

Playback: Ganito, Ganyan

Kakaiba nga lang ang music video ng mga ‘to. Nakalagay naman sa pamagat sa YouTube na “music video na hindi music video, video.”

On Nailing the "Job Security and Anniversary" Mark

05/26/2015 06:46:46 PM

There's nothing really much for me to write. It's like I still have a drained brain for me after having a roller-coaster ride for the past seven days—that includes a good news and two hassled nights. 

That's if we're talking about personal lives here.

The Shield reuniting, some sets of rubber matches, and perhaps an impressive video package—all that despite WWE’s production design has been sucking at hell.

Yes, it was all about Justice, Retribution, and PAYBACK.

"OPM is not dead. Hindi ka lang talaga nakikinig ng indie."

OPM is not dead. Hindi ka lang talaga nakikinig ng indie.

Ewan ko ba. Pero...

Original Pilipino Music is dead? Ginagago mo ba sarili mo? Niloloko mo ba kami?

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: West Valley Fault

05/21/2015 08:43:57 PM

Anong meron?

Bakit may West Valley Fault sa Philippine trends sa Twitter nitong nakaraang Martes at Miyerkules?

Well, marami kasi ang nabahala ukol sa isang balitang nilabas ng PHIVOLCS, na isang malaking lindol ang maaring maganap sa West Valley Fault.

Ows, weh? Di nga?

The Scene Around: KATHA Tula X Sayaw

5/17/2015 8:33:02 PM


When literature (spoken word poetry) and dance converged in such a freeway-manner: That is what KATHA: Tula X Sayaw was all about when Para sa Sining Productions slated their event last Saturday (15 May 2015) at the A Space Manila venue in Makati City.

Upcoming: PWR Wrevolution X

Six matches: one night. And the Philippine pro wrestling is about to unfold anew—more often than those days where RJTV 29 used to have the likes of Joe Pogi to don the Pinoy Wrestling’s finest.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Out of Bounds

5/17/2015 7:16:01 PM

Supalapal. Yan ang maitatawag ko sa hatol at parusa ni PBA Commissioner Chito Salud sa isang coach ng PBA D-League matapos ang isang insidente noong nakaraang Huwebes.

At yan ang mapapala mo sa panununtok sa isang referee. Kahit makipagtalo ka pa na mali-mali ang tawag nila.

The Pre-take: WWE Payback 2015

5/17/2015 6:16:01 PM

Almost half-a-day before the WWE’s latest Sunday special offering called Payback, I tried doing some catch-up watching on wrestling only to see myself getting slept at my couch last Friday night, when FOX aired WWE Raw then. I don’t know if I found the current phase boring or it’s just my body was weak enough to stay all night.

Just My Opinion: WWE Extreme Rules 2015

05/15/2015 12:03:18 PM

Since WWE Payback is just around the corner, and I managed to watch a WWE pay-per-view event three weeks ago. Oh, looks like I haven't made my review yet on this edition's “shades of ECW” titled WWE Extreme Rules.

The Scene Around: Seismos Math Rock/Post Rock Appreciation Night

05/14/2015 10:50:45 AM

For almost four-and-a-half months of being a gig-goer (well, I won't consider myself a regular), I  end up seeing my indulged self into certain kinds of music: dance rock, punk, blues, jazz, alternative, acoustic, and even world.

Well, it was all that cycle (at least not a shitty one) until somebody sent me an invitation on Facebook. Yes, a post-rock and math-rock appreciation night.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: CAEX-ekan?!

05/13/2015 06:41:37 PM



Isa sa mga nakakalokang balita sa kasalukuyan ay ito: ang panukalang pagpapalit ng pangalan ng North Luzon Expressway.

Oo, gagawin daw itong Corazon Aquino Expressway.

What the?!

Pambihira.

Alaala ng Urbandub

Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung bakit ko isinulat ito. Hindi naman ako ganap na dubista kung tutuusin, at hindi nga ako nakapanood ng last gig nila na pinamagatang Endless.

Basta ang alam ko ay isang bagay lang: trip ko ang musika nila. At kahit sa panahon na nagiging baduy na ang karamihan sa mainstream OPM, isa ang Urbandub sa mga bandang hinahangaan ko na nanatiling nakatayo sa kanilang bakuran kahit pa ang ilan sa mga pipitsuging artista na ang nagiging “musikero” sa kasalakuyan.
