AYOKO:
Simple Plan, Sponge Cola / Six Cycle Mind – dahil ayoko silang umasta. Nakakainis ‘tong tatlong ‘to! Akala nila ang ga-gwapo nila. Okey lang siguro kung simple pero badtrip, napaka-feeling. Ang lyrics nila - 'wala lang'. Ang boses ng vocalist nila nakakairita. Lalo sa Sponge Cola at Six Cycle Mind, hindi ko maintindihan ang boses ng vocalist, sablay, sintonado? Ang melody, mukhang di alam anong patutunguhan. Okey lang kung may binabagayan eh. Pero eto? WALA!
Kaya hindi ko naiintindihan ang iba kong mga kakilala na nagkakagusto sa mga taong ‘to.
Mediocre Music is one humungous pain in the neck.

Need more attention:
Itchyworms (Monsters Under Your Bed) – So happy, So sad. Simpleng musika pero alam mong maganda. The spirit of The Beatles revolves around them. Ba’t di sila sikat? Matataba sila. Eto totoo: Good looks ang nagdadala sa kasikatan ng isang banda, lalo sa vocalist. And it doesn’t have to be like that. Which brings me to another band…
Dishwalla (Opaline) – floating beautiful music. Pero dahil ulet hindi kasing-gwapo ni Brandon Boyd or Rob Thomas or whoeveritis, hindi rin pinanpansin. Opaline is one of the most wonderful albums I’ve heard mula nung College hanggang ngayon. Too bad hindi dini-distribute locally.
Ciudad (Yes Son It’s Me) – this is pure unchained music from simple people na walang pakialam kundi magsulat lang ng mga kantang gusto nila. Even their songs differ from each. Anlalayo pa ng mga pagkakaiba. Lyric-wise, melody-wise, Creativity-wise, bilib ako sa kanila.
Daydream Cycle – Sintonado konti, oo. Pero katulad nga ng sinabe ko, may binabagayan ang ganitong boses. Dreamy, trip-hop, takes you to outer space and other places na malayo sa reality. Not to mention the poetry. Magaling. Experiment is gooooooood.
Pete Yorn (musicforthemorningafter) – like most respected classic albums, this is one album that grows on you. ‘Yung tipong, habang paulit-ulit mong pinapakinggan, paganda ng paganda.
Songwriting worthy of praise.

Ayun.
‘Sensya na halo-halo na OPM at Foreign Artists.
Basta madami pang ganyan. Kaso 'yan lang pumapasok sa isip ko ngayon eh.

Reactions? Corrections? Agree / Disagree?
Or kung may anumang tanong, comment ka chong.

Oasis.
Heathen Chemistry compared to Be Here Now.
Although madaming singles na magaganda talaga sa BHN, as an album HC is more satisfying to listen to. Ewan ko lang ha, kase the whole weekend, yun lang pinapakinggan ko. Eh yun din lang kase nakasaksak sa discman ko. Hehe.
But anyway, the reason is ang hahaba ng tracks ng BHN! Nakakainis, parang instead of loving the song for what it is, it gets pretty annoying sa sobrang tagal matapos.
I like songs straight and most of the time, short. Like how The Beatles used to do it. Or how The Strokes hit home with their tunes.
So compared to BHN, short and sweet 'tong mas recent. Tapos mas relaxed.
Sabe nga ni Sangkay Mickey, yung BHN, magulo yung pagkaka-sunod-sunod ng songs.
Mabagal tas biglang bibilis tas mabagal ulet. Pero yung HC, tama lang ang bwelo.
What I like about BHN though is yung pagkakadugtong-dugtong. Lalo yung tema, iisa.
But then again, ganun din sa HC eh. At mas evident pa yung Beatles influence dito.
Listen to 'Songbird', 'Born On A Different Cloud', 'Better Man' and you'll be glad to hear Lennon being alive again. Soothing.
