In Loving memory of the Fearless Exploits of the Bolo Brigade

SOBRANG LUPET NG ALBUM NA ITO!

It is in this album where I finally understand that every note, every riff, and every drum lick has its own purpose or meaning and they're all integral parts of telling a story.
The first track, "Breakable" promises you a CD chockfull of twists and turns. And the album definitely delivers to that promise. "Irene" follows with a shadow of melancholia looming from all direction, and hearing Vin's vocals telling you that "it's alright", it's like realizing that it's pointless to run so you just sit and wait. "Closed Caption" is where the band plays with a very catchy chorus, and backs it up with a rather endearing bass line. "Again," on the other hand, is fun. The song sound like it would be something The White Stripes would have done. And in true Twisted Halo fashion, "Public Service Announcement" serve up our daily platter of social relevance; and our activist soul can't find a more delectable dish.


I bet all the other tracks are great, now if I could just have time to listen to the album more I would find out. And of course, In Loving Memory... would be among Squid9's Kraken Modular and Ciudad's Is that Ciudad, Yes, son, it's Me in my CD changer, that is if I had one.






AdmitOne: Sili Lab Songs

Those of you who didn't attend last night's AdmitOne should be regretting it by now. I had so much fun! It was the best AdmitOne gig that I've attended so far excluding the 1st anniversary, of course.



Imago played "Total Eclipse of the Heart", much to everyone's laughter. Most of the audience sang along with Tim, "turn around..." ChicoSci played as wild as ever. Calde did a slow, provocative (HAHAHA) dance, and my lungs were threatening to cave in from all the bwahahaha. Mitch wasn't available so Mike Dizon played for Sugar Free (but didn't get to play for his own band, Sandwich). Carol and I were watching his face as he was looking up at Jal for instructions (he wasn't familiar with SF's drum licks). And everytime he'd make a mistake (no matter how subtle), hindi maipinta ang mukha nya. And when Ebe asked us what we'd like to hear, somebody shouted "LAKLAK!"


The night would have been perfect if it wasn't for the guy who sat infront of us. He was so rowdy, and kept on shouting ("I love you, Donna!", "Hubad!", etc), and kept on calling Jorel "Jollibee." Actually he looked stoned. Sabi ko nga kay Carol na iunat nya ung legs nya para masipa nya yung guy sa ulo. Ayaw nya. Yes, I was that annoyed.
