Heads On Collision.

A year ago, I once stumbled across this chap when I was searching for some covers on YouTube. . .















Yeah, he may look like a dingdong but he ain't. This kid has pure awesomeness spelled on his forehead. This is Ed. He's a music enthusiast and he's doing it down right real! Would you expect something unpredictable after having a slight soundtrip of Mest's Jaded would trigger this guy to pop up on YouTube's related search results? (Haha! Talk about timing.)



So I added this guy up on Facebook and he shared some of his ideas and stuffs to me and I also did likewise. I envy this guy because he has already been stepping forward to his dream. He's fortunate he has the gadgets and gizmos to make covers. I know we are all having the same problems when it comes to choosing our dream career over a high-paying job but c'mon guys, you gotta give a hands up for Ed!


Some of us may love hearing dub-step music all of the time but seriously party people, wake up! What's life all about? Party rocking? Gotta get down on Friday? Birthday sex? More crappy beats than meaningful lyrics? It's a tsk yeah but hey, were thankful this guy exists.


He started as a simple listener and observant like we all are until artists like Linkin Park, Rise Against,Third Eye Blind, Three Days Grace, Green Day, Silverstein came in and poof!... Takuma Demon Reborn (Youtube ID) is now in the line and making a face in the world.


He came up with the idea of making covers because he was bored. (that's ok Ed, you ain't the only one.) So he chose to sing songs rather than playing guitar like we sometimes assume covers will be. He said that he's not good in guitars that's why he chose to cover songs this way inorder for him not to present himself as a poser. He jams with western music but little did we know that his sole inspiration was none other than our very own well respected OPM artist, April Boy Regino! (could you imagine that ladies and gentlemen? xD)



He may sing like a punk but he's very neutral when it comes to music. He even sang Mariah Carey's "One Sweet Day" once and was his first collaboration with XoCourtneyLynnXo  as a tribute for his friend's cousin's tragic death that they played the video in the funeral.



Onward to more blah blahs and chit chats. . .he later mentioned that he saved a lot of his money just to buy some equipments for his vids and not only did he spend them, he also gained a lot of subscribers, friends and fellow collabs in return. Unfortunately, he encountered problems with Youtube that resulted his first channel being banned and whatta bummer that was. (shame on you YouTube!)


He said that his parents also support him that they let they even gave their microphone to him when he was a kid. That microphone of his has evolved him into something new and distinctively radical person. I once promised to him that if ever I scooped up some greens and bought my own cam, mics, recording devices and the likes I would definitely make a project with him someday since we share the same likes and tastes in music. But before that I have to prove to myself too. The question is ...when?

So c'mon YouTube, give this guy the break that he needs! And bring the real music
back in this era.

A real smack in the face from us haters.










This man says it all. Truly right you are Mr. Russell Howard, even I can no longer understand what's happening to the industry now. From those artists and lyrics that you've mentioned I also agree that they are worthy to be called crap. Here's a little bit of sense for those who are making nonsense.




...have fun viewers!

Divergent music.

I'm not such a big fan of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) but there are artists out there which I think should get a big recognition from others and particularly, Filipinos. Based from my taste of music, they've been satisfying my taste buds ever since I started hearing their masterpieces and I figured that I should share some of them here.


1.) Maryzark












These guys are worthy for this spot. Usually, I don't like hearing OPM artists singing tagalog songs because they project the same worn-out images over and over and over again. Suddenly, I remembered that I purchased my first ever PULP magazine and read a review about them and their EP Return To Sender and then BANG! (laughs). Try hearing the song KAI (Kung Ako Ikaw) it contains an atmosphere of being alternative, a sprinkle of emo-ness and a little spice of  hardcore and plus they are using tagalog lyrics...




Mahalin mo nalang kahit kunwari
Dalangin niyang makatingin sa langit
Naubos na ang sandali ng buhay niya
Kasing gulo ng isang
Pelikulang wala namang istorya
Natapos nang ikaw nalang ang bida
Di manlang nasabi na
Mahal na mahal mo siya... "




this made an exception to the songs that I usually listen to. Other songs that are worth to hear are "My Sweetest Enemy", "Suko" , "Andromeda" and my favourite lullaby from them "Ssshh..."




2. ) Mr. Bones & the Boneyard Circus










We all know foreign bands having their own edgy styles like Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy etc. but you probably didn't know that we also have ours! This band is having an edge in the underground music industry for having somewhat like a horror, fantasy and zombie-esque kind of image (how's that for a change?). Bones del Rosario along with other members really got me going when I first heard their cover of Seal's Kiss from a Rose (OST of Batman Forever)...




"Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on they gray.
Ooh, the more I get you, the stranger it feels yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the moon from the gray..."



and then I started hearing their other songs from then on. Other songs that you should hear from them are "Go Go Dance", "Twisted Boy", "Haunted Wonderland".




3.) Franco






I know they've been in a lot of shows and concerts and I also know that they are smoothly spreading their independent name from the underground scene. Franco reyes along with the other known members are dining with fame and respect. No wonder they've decided to make a super group, because they already knew from the start that they would achieve something more than just making alternative and reggae music... ----a hybrid! From all the singles that topped the charts, "Song for the Suspect" is my fave...



"Another new day to
understand as much as we can
as much as we can understand
our love
We're high everywhere
We float in the air
We smoke and we float in the air of love..."





other awesome songs that are worth the hear are "Cast Away", "This Gathering", Stupid Me" and "Touch the Sky".




4.) Somedaydream








I'm very neutral when it comes to music. From Classic Symphonies of Beethoven down to     the soul-steaming depths of heavy metal's Black Sabbath. I'm quite sure that in between those poles lies a lighter side of art. Pop music is one of those things that talks about people in general. It could be about love, despair, frustration, dreams, or even life itself. Pop is modernized nowadays through the use of technology and thus the genre synthpop now exists. This guy, Rez Toledo, is one of the many artists that you could think of when it comes to OPM mainstream success. Somedaydream may be a simple name to construct but  it really made a remarkable peak in the OPM industry more particularly, the teenagers. "Sing this Song", my first favourite hit from his has caught my attention through it's jumpy beat and pleasant lyrics...




"And I'm leaving on a jet plane.
For all I know when I get back
You won't be there to kiss me
Won't you miss me..."





check out his other chart hits like collaboration project "Tuloy", "Delivery Boys", and his first top single "Hey, Daydreamer".




5.) Typecast










I've been admiring their music since the launch of their independent first album until their 4th present album. They've been known a lot because of their emo appeal and post-hardcore influence to their fans and not just in the Philippines but also in other foreign countries in and outside of Asia. These Pioneers of music are sometimes mistaken by others as an American band. They also reigned in Singapore and Malaysia to be labelled as one of the most influential rock band of South East Asia. I've been listening lately to "Kono Yakusoku" (which means "This Promise" in English).




"Plant my eyes onto the ground
And I will never make a sound
'Cause this is something I believe
That you'll be coming home to me..."




I would personally say that this is my favourite band and so I would recommend you to hear more endearing songs from them like "Last Time", "Clutching" ,"Will You Ever Learn", "Boston Drama" and a serenading song called "When The Sky Starts Falling".




... I think that wraps it all up for now. I'll be checking other artists soon so stay tuned! :)

How i rate stuff.

How I rate movies:

This is how I rate if I have them in DVD's.
(I'm being Captain Obvious here.)




10 - The case isn't the only thing that's gonna get broken, pal.

9  - I am not a video rental store. Better return that back.

8 - You've got to see this!

7 - Hmm. . . Interesting.

6 - I won't mind if someone borrows it.

5 - I won't mind if someone steals it.

4 - Give this to someone who has no taste.

3 - Give this to someone I don't know.

2 - In the trashcan you go.

1 - I demand a refund!


_ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _  _ _

How I rate songs/musical piece:

This is how I rate if I have them in my track list.


5 - Must have a back up storage for this.

4 - MUST. NOT. DELETE.

3 - A deserving one.

2 - I don't even know why I have this.

1 - BURN. I mean "literally". 

The Avengers pwn.

Total epicness. These are the only two appropriate words to describe this awesome movie. I have to admit that Marvel has yet again left a big awe to their fans and viewers as they release their most anticipated block busting movie that we all have been waiting for.

For those who doesn't have any idea who The Avengers are and why they exist, here are the basic things you have to know .

The Avengers are composed of Marvel's most iconic comic book-based characters that creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko made along alongside Jack Kirby (notably I consider them heroes when it comes to imaginative art). The Avengers primarily consist of 6 members. Captain America, a newly enhanced super soldier which by the help of a serum made him the leader of the group. Iron Man, the co-founder of the group and the foot-step follower of his father who seemingly the reason why Captain America exists. Hulk, a once brilliant doctor accidentally exposed himself to gamma radiation and turned him into a green, mean fighting machine. Thor, a god of his own world that wields the power of thunder and lightning by the means of his bestowed hammer. Hawkeye, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. highly skilled in the art of archery and swordsmanship. ( although it's not shown in the movie, he also aliased himself as the Ronin). Black Widow, also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. that excels in handling guns, gadgets and close quarter combat. (By the way, Scarlett Johansson puts justice with her role.) Nick Fury, The leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. who happens to be the reason why The Avengers are now as one. (that's right! it was all his idea).

Now, I won't tell you everything about the movie but I will certainly spoil some parts of it just to clarify the things that you've seen in the official trailer. First, why is there a box and what's inside it? Surely, it's obvious that there's no bunny rabbit inside but instead pure power. This power has the ability to grant immortality or unleash devastating chaos all over the earth. The piss-off part there is that Loki,adopted brother of Thor( yeap! He's the bad guy here) wants it so bad! Why did Iron Man, Captain America, Thor made a little conflict with each other? Obviously, it's a test. A test of who is willing to sacrifice his life for the world, a test wherein to know who will give up his pride for his fellow team mates, and lastly a test of trust and intellect.  For the last spoil, Who pwns (owns) Loki's sorry butt and makes his/her a star in this movie? Well, if you'd listen closely to what Tony Stark said in the trailer it's Hulk. Why is he the star here? It's my opinion so the answer to that varies from person to person. If you really wanna know why then better watch the movie now! I promise you, it's worth the spend! You'll surely laugh,thrill,scream, jump up and down all the way to the end of the movie! Trust me! It's a jaw dropping, eye-popping,heart-pounding, armpit-sweating hell of a show! . . .


and for that I'll give a booming 9/10.
If they cast Ant man and The Wasp in the sequel then I would definitely give a sizzling 10!
