Incubus Tracks on my iPod

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. D

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.

3. I Miss You (Make Yourself)
Released: October 1999

4. Stellar - acoustic version (Make Yourself)
Released: October 1999

So far, these two tracks from the album Make Yourself are the cheesiest Incubus songs in my iPod. Perhaps, the song I Miss You has the most plagiarized parts you could see from a rocker lover (yes, a rocker lover.. :p). Some examples:

To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn’t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
- I Miss You by Incubus

Or it could be this one,

I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I’m wasting away.
- I Miss You by Incubus

Anyway, a certain part of the song Stellar suggests that it’s a “make-out” song in some way:

Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close, if you’re afraid of heights
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way;
that I can show you how
It feels to be inside you
- Stellar by Incubus

5. Wish You Were Here (Morning View)
Released: October 2001

This is another “emo” track from Incubus. Certainly, this line “I wish you were here” is perhaps the most overused line ever!

Paramita Album Lunch this coming April

Ria Bautista of Paramita announced in the Yahoo Groups that the album launch is due this April 4 (at Route 196 - along Katipunan Ave.) and April 5 (at Saguijo - along Guijo St. in Makati). And yes, this is good news. D It has been almost 3 years since they’ve released Tala, their debut album, and it is indeed high time to release the next one. I’d be definitely going to the April 5th schedule since it’s a lot nearer to Paranaque. D

Bonggahan – An album tribute to Sampaguita


Paramita performing Bonggahan at Eastwood

Sampaguita is a Pinoy Rock and Roll icon from the 70’s and popularized the songs Bonggahan, Tao, Nosi Balasi, etc. They had an album launch at Eastwood last Friday. I’m guessing that my Dad will buy an album of this since he have some mp3s of Sampaguita in his iPod. Anyway, I was not able to go to the event but prior to that, I’ve already heard about the making of the album.

Tracks in the album:
Chubibo - Sayang ang Oras
Session Road - Nosi Balasi
Paramita- Bonggahan
Sugar Hiccup - Tao
Childstar - Laguna
Zelle - Sa Diyos Lamang
Paraluman - Ikaw Pa Rin
Lokal - Mahilig
The Amandas - Babalik sa’yo
Fuseboxx - Easy Pare
Cherry Cornflakes - Kumadre
Rocka’By - Sayawan

I’m interested to hear Fuseboxx’s rendition of Easy Pare since their music is categorized as progressive rock and it’s been a long time since I heard them.

Maroon 5 Live in Manila

Yes, Maroon 5 will be having a concert here in Manila this coming March 5, 2008, 8pm at the Araneta Coliseum. Thus, expect heavy traffic in Cubao this coming Wednesday. The concert seems to have an expensive ticket pricing (lowest at 1575 Pesos and the highest at 10,500 Pesos). I’ve first heard them in the TV series Smallville.

Anyway, I’m still not sure if there are tickets available since I cannot see the Online Reservation form in the website. If you want to watch the concert, just call at 911-5555 for more information.

In addition, I’m not sure if they will be having a front act or not. I’ve heard that Up Dharma Down will be a front act in the upcoming Incubus concert.
