My next flick to watch hehe

Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles, commonly referred to as Where the Light Is, is a live album and concert film by American blues-rock musician John Mayer. Released on July 1, 2008, the album documents Mayer's performance at the L.A. Live Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles, California on December 8, 2007, during the promotional tour for his 2006 third studio album Continuum.

Blur: No Distance Left To Run

“No Distance Left to Run” is a feature length rockumentary that follows the band throughout their summer tour. It was the first time in years that Blur rejoined forces to play together — and you can bet enough happened in between that time to fill up notebooks worth of song lyrics.

However, the movie also focuses on their successful, yet rocky past as brothers; brothers in the sense of their bond as opposed to their blood. You see, the band members all have sisters but no biological brothers. The film starts off with Blur explaining how close they are. But they’re also distant to each other in a way only brothers can be.

Blur fans will be happy to know the movie doesn’t go more than five or 10 minutes without some music. This makes perfect sense judging by the number of hits Blur produced between the late ‘80s and early 2000’s.


The documentary also features exclusive interviews with all four band members along with unseen archival material. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace don’t shy away from asking lead singer Damon Albarn and the band about his highly publicized romance and brake-up with singer Justine Frischmann, the complicated dynamics between Albarn and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and of course, their chart battles with Oasis.

A very nice jagged rhythms by Sting

Title: Seven Days
Artist: Sting
Album: Ten Summoner's Tales
Year: 1993

"Seven Days" was all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me, she gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me, woe is me
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well we'll see
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see
It's him or me

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

The fact that he's six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me, The Mighty Flea (flee?)
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me in time for his tea
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal, it makes me think
Perhaps I need a drink
IQ is no problem here
We won't be playing Scrabble for her hand I fear
I need that beer

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so
Seven days, so many ways
But I can't run away

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late

"Panggap" moment and a blessful night at 70's bistro [August 28, 2010]

Maraming nangyari kagabi sa 70's bistro.

1. "Lagpas"
Sumakay kami ng jeep galing kamias papuntang anonas kasama si Ruffa at Jericho. Di namin namalayan na lagpas na pala kaming bistro at nasa freedom bar na kami, so baba kami at naglakad pabalik. Tulo pawis sa bitbit na sandamkmak na gamit. Salamat at nkarating din.

2. "Panggapness"
Nung nasa loob na kami ng bar ay nagpahinga muna kami. Suot ko ang damit kong "The Jerks". Biglang sinabi ni Jericho na nandyan daw si Chikoy Pura singer ng Jerks, ay bigla akong nahiya sa di ko alam na dahilan. Umandar na ang aking imahinasyon at pagkapraning. Iniisip ko na baka magkasalubong kami at di ko sya mamukhaan at d ko ma bati ay mabadtrip siya, o baka (assuming) kausapin ako, at wala akong masyadong alam tungkol sa kanila ay isang ultimate pagpapanggap. Lumabas ako ng bar at nag palit ng damit. Sabi ng manager namin "O bat nagpalit ka nang damit?, andyan si chikoy sa
loob" sabi ko, "basa ng pawis boss e, baka magkaubo pa ko." Panggapness.. Lesson learned: "Wag magsuot ng damit na banda pag wala kang alam tungkol sa kanila"

3. "Blessful"
Isang malaking opportunity at pasasalamat.. May supporters kami na ilang beses ko na din nakikita na palaging present pag my gig kami (Saguijo at Bistro). Di ko sila masyadong nkkabonding dahil si Mowmow ang palaging nakakausap. Silay mag asawa, D ko alam na ang mister pala ay nag tatrabaho sa JB music sa Megamall, at tutulungan daw kami at bibigyan ng discount pag my bibilhin kami sa JB. Andaming nangyari kagabi na di ko na namalayan, Naputulan pa pala ng string si Skrovs sa kalagitnaan ng set namin, buti na lang may mabait na taga Radio Manila na nagpahiram ng bass. Salamat po sa inyo! Present din ang producer naming si Ser Robert Javier.

All-in-all ansaya ng gig sa bistro!

"Keep it up" -Rico Blanco [August 26, 2010]

Super saya ng gig namin sa Capones last thursday. "Lakihan Mo Logo Nights: Eheads night" kahit na kami ang 3rd band na nag cover ng "Maselang bahaghari" ay nagpalakpakan pa din naman ang mga tao at kahit papano ay may mga naghintay parin sa amin kahit kami ung last band. Salamat! Sobrang saya din ng banda nung nalaman na nanuod pala si Rico Blanco sa aming set, at sya mismo ang nag ayos ng mix namin at may matching picture2x pa with sir Rico after ng set. Wow! sobrang thank you sir Rico Blanco! and to end my night, Pinasalamatan ko si Sir Rico, and he tapped me and said "Keep it up.." kahit ganun lang ka simple, its very encouranging for me, considering a famous and genius musician would take his time to watch us (kahit last band kami and its almost 2am) and helped us tweaking the mix to make our sound better.

thanks for following sir! (nagulat ako haha!) anyways, just wanted to ask you.. what's the best thing about being a part of tanya markova? thanks!

im new kasi in formspring. hehe well siguro ung drinking sessions at laughing nights haha.

Me eskrebani ka ba? pakisulat...
