I know, we only reserve the lists for the weekend right? Well, the weekend comes early, as I, along with my favorite person in the whole wide world, go on an unprecendented 15+ hour trip to the land of our birth. It will be a trip to visit my dad, who's been in a 6 year long bout with lung cancer and who is also, currently missing his most loved and only grandson. I can't help but feel like Drew Baylor in Elizabethtown , or better yet, Andrew Largeman in Garden State - only replace [...]
This week's list will be a short one, though, with how much I ramble on, this post will probably be as long as my previous ones (or might even be longer). I'm actually making this list to get these songs out of my system, since I have a bad habit of listening to songs that I fancy 10 to 20 times a day until I get sick of them. Maybe sharing them will take the load off of my craving, and the songs and I can part amicably, such that I can listen to them randomly one [...]
One of the best things that I like about the internet is that it's so easy to make your work accessible to a lot of people. Not only that, with a truckload of software applications being made to help produce your work of art, you'll require less time, effort and manpower. The offshoot are digital tracks strewn across the web: some weird and quirky, while others, unique gems. What I love most about these do-it-yourself home-made tracks is that, a bunch of them are electronic (to the 80's child, it's the music of choice!) and it's also in [...]
What better way to let you in on my top 5 breakup songs than on the eve of Valentine's Day, which coincidentally falls on Friday the 13th. I know, Valentine's might be a nice red letter day for young lovers, or a special post Christmas holiday/pre-Easter chocolate treat day for young kids (especially for my 6-year old son Paolo, who zipped through his valentine chocolates in less than 6 minutes). But, let's not forget the people, who's Valentine's Day isn't so much as a celebration of couple-ness, but a hurtful reminder of the relationship that was lost - [...]
As they say, good things come in pairs - in this case, it's good songs. The past week, I was contemplating on what my next list topic would be. I started off with one thing, but could only list up to two songs in my head that I thought was post worthy. How could just two be a list? So, I moved over to another topic until I got three themes started in my head with two songs each. This, adding up to six songs in three very short lists. So, why not make it a Iist of three pairs? [...]
This is just something off the top of my head: a regular weekly entry that I'm tentatively naming List Addicts Fridays (this might change, who knows?). I'm doing this so you guys know you've got something new to read every week and maybe have something to look forward to. In my attempt to be relevant, in the next few weeks leading up till the end of February, it will be all songs about love. Why? Well, why not? Aside from the obvious reason that February houses Valentines day, all songs in general, (in my opinion) are all [...]
It's been a while since I put in an entry for site updates...and it's long overdue. Now, I can proudly say, all site features are fully functional. None of those messages to check this space in a couple of days . Nope! We've got brand spanking new things to explore - like the search page for example. We've got it there for whatever quest for information that you wish to undertake. Of course, information is still limited to the stuff that I've put in, though, feel free to peruse our search with a new option for finding [...]
Good music will always have a way of coming back and reviving itself every couple of years in the form of remakes and samples. But what I like the most is not the occasional emergence of my favorite songs from the past (like the umpteenth remake of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time") or a snippet of familiar music embedded in a rap song (take your pick, there's tons of them). It's the new music that pretends that it's not. It's those period themed tracks from artists that just can't let go of the past. Luckily, the indie music scene has [...]
For this post, I've decided to veer a bit, and post a shout out to a film. It's a film that begs to be recommended to everyone you know, just because of it's sheer intrigue factor. It's about the undying, yet complicated love, between a vampire and a human - a movie called Twilight. Well..no. Actually, Twilight and sheer intrigue factor don't equate, nor would I be so excited to blog about that movie enough to make me veer away from my standard blogging procedures. Though, I may be blogging about a film now, two things still haven't changed - [...]
