yokogustoko.

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.

Avril is ok, I guess.

Is this Anne?
Whoever this is, thanks for the comment.

To be honest, I was greatly humbled with what you said.
Yes, you have to respect others even if you don't like them.
So yes, I respect Simple Plan for their effort in making music utilizing what they know about it.
Alhtough I don't believe they make good music. It's too superficial.
The reason, most probably, is that they're still young. (Then again, I am too.)

Come to think of it, when someone watches an artist or a band perform live, there is a really huge tendency of him liking them. It could be the presence, the mood of the show, the MUSIC, or other aspects.
But being nice guys cannot compensate for the lack of depth or profundity in the music a band makes.

So if sound too judgmental or hypocritical, ignore me. It's just the privilege of conviction taking over.

By the way, who's Kiko? I haven't been listening to NU for a while now.
Hehe. But I'm not dissing them.

Maganda naman ang Sponge Cola e! Ang galing galing din ni Yael. Style nila yun e! Wala kang magagawa. (Gwapo naman talaga si Yael)

Sa mga nagsasabi na walang kwenta ang SPONGE COLA:
Napakalaki nyong _____ para hindi makita ang kagalingan nila. Sorry na lang kayo dahil SIKAT NA SIKAT na sila at nagiging NO. 1 pa. Nanalo pa si Yael bilang BEST MALE sa NU.
