new music finds
as much as i want to get some sun, I dont want to leave my desk because
I am hooked listening to playlists i found at www.webjay.org.
Right now, i am listening to a punk rock playlist… It has Sugar We’re
Going Down by Fallout Boy and Heres To the night by Eve 6… Thank God
for these playlists.
Anyway, while browsing through the list of songs, i just find myself
saying… Wow this world is just overflowing with many wonderful music.
Music is as dynamic as human beings… it evolves each day…
I am sure there are still a lot of genres and music waiting to be
discovered… Even in the local scene, we have so much to listen to… to be
discovered.
There was a time that I contemplated going home to Iloilo but one of
the reasons why I was hesitant to do so… I’ll surely miss the live
music scene Manila offers.
I am lucky that I am just two blocks away from one of those venues that
features new, underground, and independent bands… even the
fast-rising bands. And it’s not that expensive, PHp 100, that’s
enough
Anyway, the last week of December 2005, Rizzalyn, Jolan, and I met up
at 6UG… That night the lineup was unknown bands… I am only familiar
with wickermoss and dale ibay in the lineup. Still we went in and
there was this one band, everything’s good - the drummer, the
guitarists… well, except for the vocalist. The three of us just looked at each
other while listening to that band, thinking "sayang naman."
That’s one setback of watching a lineup of unknown bands, you have to
brace yourself for surprises - it may be a pleasant or an unwelcome surprise but
still it is a good way to discover something new.
