From 2011 to 2020 – Alternate Endings: The Making of the Final Set

karlaredor

It was around mid 2011 when Aldus Santos, the writer of the book “Alternate Endings: The Making of the Final Set” contacted me to contribute some pictures I took during the concert of the Eraserheads last March 7, 2009 for a book they’re working on.

Since then, I haven’t heard any news on the progress of the release of the book until I received a message from Day Cabuhat. She was one of the managers of Eraserheads and is continuously working with Ely Buendia. I got the message around October that the book will be finally released in December.

A few days after the book was released online, I finally got my copy! Thank you, Aldus, Day, and Offshore Music for sending me a copy of the book. Thank you also for the opportunity to be a part of it. If you haven’t gotten yours, just shop at Offshore Music online. The book costs Php 2,800. If you would like to get a copy of the book with Ely’s signature on it, you can get it for Php 3,500.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Throwback your Playlist

karlaredor

I just watched the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 this weekend. I loved the soundtrack of this film, just like the first one. Hence, I searched for the Vol. 2 mixtape. I found one on YouTube. However, I wanted it to come from an official source. During my search, I found out about a Disney and Spotify collaboration. I visited this website to generate a retro playlist based on my selected Spotify playlist. The playlist is now named Coldplay!!!- Vol. 2. It has 20 tracks from various artists. My playlist has songs from Queen, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin, and more.

Listen to the Guardians of the Galaxy – The Complete Mixtape at Spotify.

There is a new trend going on in Facebook where one posts a status containing a list of 10 foreign acts one has supposedly seen live where one of which is a lie. In my Facebook timeline, I have seen it evolved into:

  • 10 bands I’ve sessioned or played with (one is a lie)
  • 10 foreign bands I’ve interviewed (one is a lie)


Instead of posting it in Facebook, I’m just listing it here:

  1. The Killers
  2. Nine Inch Nails
  3. Death Cab for Cutie
  4. Coldplay
  5. Paramore
  6. Stone Temple Pilots
  7. Red Hot Chili Peppers
  8. Smashing Pumpkins
  9. Saosin
  10. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Romantic Punch – a band from South Korea

Romantic Punch

While we were walking along the streets of Hongdae, we chanced upon a Korean rock band performing. We didn’t understand the songs that they sang but it seems like that they have a big fanbase. Aside from Romantic Punch, there are other street performers around the area. However, they have the most number of audience in the area. It is also interesting to note that the fans of the band are also passionate in singing their songs while they’re performing. Hope to see more street performers here in South Korea.
