2 trick pony
As expected, I got Sandwich’s Thanks to the moon’s gravitational pull CD from my kris kringle parent. Yey! My favorite from the CD is “Homerun” aside from, of course, Masilungan. I still have to get a hang on other songs… (I am just in my third replay of the CD right now) Not This Time could be my next favorite.
I also got a CD from dear Fifi… She does know my music preferences these days as she gifted me a double CD E-heads anthology. Speaking of eheads, a blog said BMG is going to release an eheads collection set complete with memorabilia from the now-defunct band. That’s nice… will it include the one that Jam produced? (my parent got the electromagneticjam CD, btw)
anyway, i am quite into local bands lately… and I am setting my sights on buying Urbandub’s (UB) Influence and Embrace and Daydream Cycle’s Underwater Kites. (I gave the Embrace album to my kris kringle baby) Speaking of UB, I saw them live again last week with my brother and our kababata at 6UG. I am getting a hang on some of their new songs, especially First of Summer. Sulit talaga manood ng gig ng UB kasi one set includes a handful of new songs and their hits… and the audiences are really fuelled. This time, they sang their cover of Sade’s No Ordinary Love… but did not perform Sailing, a personal favorite reminds of 311’s All Mixed Up.
As an end note, I am finally done with Vikram Seth’s “An Equal Music.” Good read… hmm, I like his style, the way he ended the story. Gusto ko kasi ung mga tipong medyo hanging, pero di naman masyadong hanging… ung tipong ikaw ung maggigive ng conclusion. Perhaps the ending appealed to me because it adhered to what I believe in.
It will be a while, I guess, before I could pick another book and read… These remaining weeks of December will be toxic for me, work-wise. Most definitely, next in line is Laura Esquivel’s Swift As Desire.
