Wildlife is the second album of Pupil and was released last 2007 under Sony BMG. I just uploaded the tracks from the album in my iPod last week. The album starts off with vocals from Diane Ventura with a music giving you a feel of the wildlife. In the second track, “Matador”, Ely Buendia duets with his wife Diane Ventura. The third track, “Monobloc”, is Pupil’s latest single. A music video of this track is also being aired on Myx and MTV. (more…)

Heard of MixWit? I just heard of it in this TechCrunch blog post. MixWit allows you to create custom music playlists by searching for an artist or a title of a song (search is powered by SeeqPod) and then you drag the songs to an area. What’s good about it is that it determines if the audio you dragged is not available anymore. Aside from the built-in music search, you could simply add tracks by adding the URL of the mp3 file.

Dirty Kitchen is Chris Carandang (vocals and guitar), Joel Alagao (lead guitar), Datu Arellano (guitar, e-bow and computer soundscapes), BJ Villanueva (bass) and Nick Formoso (drums). They released their album “DK – Dirty Kitchen” in 2006 and it’s an independent release where they did all the “dirty work” like marketing, logistics and photography. The tracks were recorded and mixed by Ariz Guinto at Wombworks studio and was mastered by Zach Lucero at Tweak Mastering Studio. (more…)

You have a band, and you play really good music. The problem is, only a few people were exposed to the music. With the internet, you could spread your music easily.

There are a lot of ways to promote your band online. Here are some list of websites to do that:

1. Yahoo! Groups
This is by far, one of the websites that are widely used by Filipino bands.
- great way to interact with your followers
- you may post your gig schedules in the calendar

This is another song by Inyo. I’ve tried transcribing this song from their demo album since I cannot find one in the internet right now. I’m not sure if it’s 100 percent correct. So, if any of you have corrections to make, please do so. Just comment here so that I could make corrections. Read more for the lyrics. (more…)

Last Thursday, I went to Narda’s reunion gig with Ivan, Baby, and Sha. We were supposed to meet Rain somewhere in Makati before going to Saguijo. Instead, Rain went to Saguijo directly. Rain told me that the organizers were worried that there’ll be a few people who might be able to show up in the gig. However, I was confident that it was not bound to happen since it is Narda’s reunion gig and also because of the solid line-up (Ang Bandang Shirley, Taken by Cars, Us-2 Evil-0 and Pedicab. (more…)

In lieu of the Incubus concert later, I’m posting here the 5 tracks that I have in my iPod. Anyway, I’ll not be watching the concert, I’m hoping that The Killers, U2, and Dave Matthews Band (and some other foreign bands in my list) will come here.

1. Talk Shows on Mute (A Crow Left of the Murder)
Released: February 2004

2. Megalomaniac (A Crow Left of the Murder)
Released: February 2004

The track Talk Shows on Mute is the second most played track in Last.fm in that particular album. Obviously, Megalomaniac is the most played track there. If I want some music to keep me up, Megalomaniac would be one of the tracks that I would listen to. But if I want something quite relaxing and moderately up-beat at the same time, that would be Talk Shows on Mute. (more…)
