As always, he never fails to emphasize is view on family life as his foundation,underneath his personality as a an aloof character.Other works featured were from Jigger Cruz's "Dead End" where the art for the normal meets the mundane is very possible as he splashes his oil paint over the flat ones as misadventures.The last one included on the show was from Bjorn Calleja's "Some Failed Attempts in Creating A Good image for Painting".Much filled with things we see everyday,he paints the picture with pop culture in a way that it gives room for us to see more of what each stroke does to complete the picture.<br /><br />Last night was also a great night because i get to reflect myself and what i really want as I see the people who knew me.I forget that I firmly wanted people to see that side of me outside work because this is the only way i know how to appreciate what life brings despite heartbreak and changes.And I still want to learn what tomorrow will bring me as its gift.</span></div>daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-30295639429393032802011-03-21T04:32:00.000-07:002011-03-21T04:34:03.592-07:00hello i'm old....what's new at the scene?personally,i lost track of everything fresh and i'm starting to appreciate old songs and the ones from (ugh,bite me) Glee.I'm beginning to have a mature ear (if that is really existent),which is why I start to have LSS on some pop songs.just like that Hugh Grant movie 'music and lyrics'-not the one with Drew Barrymore in it, but the reaaallly cheesy one -'Pop goes my heart' (Thanks red and nikki for that lss,it's still friggin sticks to me like glue)<br /><br />oh yeah.i go crazy over electric percussions.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVkU8dDSC9w">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVkU8dDSC9w</a>daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-72437901455884508352011-03-21T04:30:00.000-07:002011-03-21T04:30:41.959-07:00LADY GAGA - Born This Way (Cover)<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xG0wi1m-89o?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />Ah sorry,a very late post.Finally, after a somewhat slew of mediocre youtube versions of new songs,i find Maria Aragon's take of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" amazing and fresh.She's so cute,the way she sings the high pitch.It's not everyday that a superstar would tweet about a kid with all respect,you know.

Cubao X is a quaint hotspot for artist/musicians/entrepreneurs for the arts.then again,it's actually NICE to get lost in CubaoX-there were a lot of nifty stores/vintage hubs that i can browse through.but i went there a bit late so some stores were closed too. I never met the artist before but i did want to check out the artworks - i was handed with a little picture invite from dex's show and pretty much went to exhibits after that.it was fun,that these artists are something.there wasn't any sense of intimidation as they welcome spectators to see their works.Anyway,funny thing happened that night,i was looking for amber in CubaoX when someone shouted my name-not on my nickname-but my REAL name! i was thinking if i knew someone in the QC area who knew me-aside from my relatives,of course.i was thinking of friends from MY area-the BF area-because they're the ones who usually called me by my name.then slowly turning around- i see familiar faces - shannen of NU,froi,kuya neil,andy,and raf. Funny that they eventually recognized me from a 10 feet distance.haha.so i hung out with them and finally saw the pablo gallery.It's a small space for an art event,but i think what makes up for it would be the well lit room.the artworks can be seen and the colors blended as well. Since that was my first time ever to view darel's artwork,i could say that i instantly fell in love with it,since all i see would be pictures of doll-like figures.they're all in the same ,but the feelings would have changed it otherwise.i liked how it had this dream like effect-almost nostalgic-makes you wish that you were a kid and that you would like to become an artist someday. it was child-like but the deep shades of purple is what appealed to me the most.i had an opportunity to say hi to darrel saying that i loved his works.plus a quick trivia that shannen told me-that was also his first time to draw a real idenity-such would be the picture of a young girl with a book. but it still looks surreal.he may have forgotten me after that,but i still would be a fan for his works.the night was young,so i hung out with people-and then i saw joe de jesus-first time that i also met him was at the al's bar silipan at rinigan event-friendly dude. and then we talked abou anything new about his prod- Tubby Trousers.I'm already familiar with Tubby Trousers because Soft Pillow Kisses usually performs on his prod.And undoubtedly-i've been a fan of Soft Pillow kisses for quite sometime.then we chatted the whole night,and it was all good.Then i saw Brendan Goco- so i'm really relieved that i saw people whom i've been really open to when it comes to music and art.but then i had to leave early because i have work the next day after.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153); font-style: italic;">Good thing that the last train ride was until midnight.otherwise,i would be screwed up after.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">maybe someday when i have a kid,i'd buy a huge artwork from him and give it to my future kid to "make believe".</span><br /><a href="http://pablogalleries.com/2009/11/06/make-believe/"><br /><br />http://pablogalleries.com/2009/11/06/make-believe/</a>daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-31814224269753168052009-11-03T17:32:00.000-08:002009-11-04T23:04:15.032-08:00rainy weekendwednesday again.my nose just itches and i feel like my body was run over (again) by a car or something.ah. anyway. the hype after the NU Rock Awards 2009 is over and i got the chance to witness it.it was my first time to watch it.even if the weather wasn't that game (at that time typhoon "Santi" already was in the manila area).I was with my friends Ben and Charles, and the gave me the ticket ABSOLUTELY FREE .heheh.But the event was hell fun. Because the event was not that packed,and it was star studded-rock stars everywhere. from the hottest names-like say, Ehra Madrigal, Ornussa Cadness, and other heavy names in the biz,i'm in absolute haven,i guess.Iza Calzado was a goddess by every inch and her co host was even a rockstar-Ramon Bautista.hahaaa. The performances were stellar-from the opening acts like Salamin, Turbogoth and Even to Up Dharma Down's Armi Millare singing the National Anthem, and to the hardcore acts like Kamikazee, Urbandub, Juan Pablo dream, Razorback,Kjwan and Chicosci. But 3 of may faves would be from Franco, Up dharma down and the one for Francis M- Ely Buendia singing "Higante" with Elmo Magalona.i couldn't help but coo at his kid siblings at the side of the stage-the youngest of the Magalona clan-they were in synch with the rap part. The downside part of the show would be the storm and how the heck are we going to go home after.But that was not part of the event-so blame it on the weather that time.hehe.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);"> list for this year's winners:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Artist of the Year:</span> Up Dharma Down<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Album of the Year:</span> Bipolar by Up Dharma Down<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Song of the Year:</span> “Antukin” by Rico blanco<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Hall of Fame:</span> Francis M<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Best Live Act: </span>Hilera<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Listeners Choice Award:</span> Chicosi<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">In the Raw Award:</span> Dimmerswitch<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Best Music Video:</span> “Last Day on a Cruise Ship” of Bamboo as directed by Pancho Esguerra<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Producer of the Year:</span> Robin Rivera of Peryodiko<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Best Album Packaging:</span> “Mornings and Airports” of Sugarfree by Inksurge<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Vocalist of the Year:</span> Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree and Armi Millare of Up Dharma Down<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Guitarist of the Year:</span> Kakoy Legaspi of Peryodiko<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Bassist of the Year:</span> Ivan Garcia of Hilera<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Drummer of the Year:</span> Allan “Bords” Bordeus of Kamikazee<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Best New Artist:</span> Peryodiko<br /><br /><br />*photos were taken by Popo dela Cruz.awesome pics.<br /><br /><br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fdaiox23%2Falbumid%2F5400502242493852225%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="400" height="267"></embed>daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-49140588191178992792009-10-28T18:41:00.000-07:002009-11-05T00:16:50.852-08:00500 days of Summer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yzmM-qD53dQ/SvJmkDoTPXI/AAAAAAAAALM/LyD8UlPRJTY/s1600-h/16641_167111388252_646148252_2797673_169359_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yzmM-qD53dQ/SvJmkDoTPXI/AAAAAAAAALM/LyD8UlPRJTY/s320/16641_167111388252_646148252_2797673_169359_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400491672806309234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yzmM-qD53dQ/Suj0rI5RPiI/AAAAAAAAALE/DjnLhEgWj4g/s1600-h/500DaysPoster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yzmM-qD53dQ/Suj0rI5RPiI/AAAAAAAAALE/DjnLhEgWj4g/s320/500DaysPoster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397833175362780706" border="0" /></a><br />my new favorite movie.it's not a chick flick.but it is a hard hitting story about love. oh yes.<br />and somehow the scene of the story was sort of autobiographical for me.what i like and how i view relationships were true. on the summer's point of view,as i have said it to people.and how i dump guys,yep,the cold truth. and how i get dumped,from the guy's point as well. i do that,breaking things after rejection.and most likely gets depressed and drunk and plays music that loud and screams.but then again on my end i get past thru depression,i guess.<br /><br />What i loved about the film was the cold hard truth that love is not getting the guy (or girl- from the protagonist's point of view). I mean Tom (played by Joseph Gordon- Levitt) sets his eyes for Summer (played by Zooey Deschanel) and madly falls in love with her-but the girl though otherwise. it's a perfect story of reality vs. expectation. One cannot help that they can be so torn up for the dude.but that also goes the same for the ladies as well.<br /><br />BUT THIS IS ONE GOOD FLICK WITH AN EVEN BETTER SOUNDTRACK TO MATCH.<br />Take it from the Smiths-- the cinematography also goes with it-- the neutrals and the browns are visible on the movie.really sharp and snazzy, i may say.<br /><br />favorites on the soundtrack:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Mushaboom</span>- Feist<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Please please please let me get what i want</span> - The Smiths<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">There is a light that never goes out</span>- The Smiths<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Bad Kids</span>-Black lips<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">There goes the fear</span>- Doves<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">You make my dreams</span>- Hall and Oatesdaioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-72283602735555552112009-10-28T18:25:00.000-07:002009-10-28T18:41:11.418-07:00what i'm listening right now....<object><br />i like this one.They're called Temple Scene.I browsed it by accident. the website where i discovered this act was also stumbled upon as well.it's called thesixtyone.com. in a few days that will also be my fave site too.<br /><br /><br />The track is called A sign of all things to come.

This is one the recent exhibits that i recently headed to as a kickoff for my restday since that fell on a Tuesday. One of my new friends, kuya Neil gave me this cardboard brochure to check out their works at Makati. That was good because i don't have to get frantic at that time because the location wasn't that far from the office. I even checked out the webbie for the address on where the event will be shown at.</span><br /><br /><div style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;">Alliance Francaise de Manille</div><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;">(formerly Reposo St.) Bel-Air 2, Makati City</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 102);">i was a "buang" too when i realized that Alliance is ridiculously near the place where i work at.no less than 10 miuntes away.haha. i cam there by 8 ish. i was able to see same faces which is fun because in my own opinion,i'm starting to get reacquainted to people who i've been introduced with and i've gotten comfortable with myself because i get to ask helluv questions.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102); font-weight: bold;">then the exhibit closes.next thing i knew is i was already with dex and others.having a drink somewhere in manila.the night was late so i stayed at dex's until 6 pm.That was also the first time i ever went to Marikina. I do get to see what it's like to be a visual artist firsthand-it's typical. the difference is that they full heartedly are committed to see how things are and they've mastered it on medium.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">But i'm enjoying all the hype that they're humble still nevertheless.good to know that there's still a group who welcomes the world and makes it better.

These kids are aspiring artists so i also like their eagerness and they absorb interest like sponges.really a good sight to see.then seeing familar faces like mihk and beejay from tether,redslim 08, even reporter julius babao was there. The ever so good think about art events is that there is no pretenses-on my part,i was introduced and i honestly say who i am-just an employee from a call center who likes art to its extremes.<br /><br />Then came Dex and Froilan, who came by 9 ish.it was awesome that they're both simple guys who have this really strong force for the art scene.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#ff99ff;">I like Froi's work when it somes to color--it has this really strong hue which is total irony for his fuzzy looking creatures. Dex , on the other hand has a penchant for brown tones, japanese culture and things that are deranged.the awesome thing about it is that he makes it look interesting.</span></em><br /><br />I came there solo flight.

The concept is about silence and broken relationships. That was my very first time going to a huge event.big names of the art scene attended to this<br />event,like Quark Henares,Cristina Dy, Marie Jamora,well the list goes on.I was really excited that i saw all of these hardworking artists.I had to really bring friends Gadz and Rik as well so i can introduce them to Dex and so that they can see their art.but they had to leave early for the last FX home,so i was left at the show,but I met all of these artists.all of them are soooo humble.and i was this art enthusiast who mainly doesn't have anything talented at hand.it was awesome that they assured me that it was nothing and they would like me to see more of their works. Plus i saw familiar faces-like mik from Tether and kuya Ross from Al's bar.I realize that art should be OBSERVED in any way-whether it was seen,or listened to,it was all about reaction.Their exhibit was under the "imagine the silence" category. the other part for this event was on Greenbelt 3.It's called the Museum of Broken Relationships.it's a museum dedicated for love that faltered apart and things that reminded them that at least there was something that "they" exist.it's sort of a "letting go" museum.<br /><br />My love of lokal art rekindled once again.i can see and feel art in every way possible.and i am blessed that these kinds of art saved my sanity. So not only that i can write about lokal music,i can also write a little something about art.<br /><br />*above exhibit photos were done by Brendan Goco.thanks!daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5975225680808012114.post-75929050920020881092009-09-16T02:36:00.000-07:002009-09-16T02:47:16.984-07:00lokal electroindie also is my current fave as well<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=7556565/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=7556565/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="400"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://techyromantics.bandcamp.com/track/run-dmaps-remix"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Run (Dmaps Remix) by Techy Romantics&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;</noembed></object><br />lately i have just got to browse anything that's unheard and awesome.enter techyromantics.they make awesome songs to dance to.plus i came across Spazzkid,another genius<span style="font-style: italic;"> ng</span> lokal electro indie scene. although he's now based in the States,he makes samples for local tunes.and Dmaps/eggboy-that's Diego Mapa.i would like to shake hands with him someday and tell him i was fan of his show <span style="font-style: italic;">dati </span>with Jason Caballa when UNTV was unearthed and was the best channel circa 2000.<br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=1544779790/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="allowNetworking" value="always"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer.swf/track=1544779790/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="always" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="100" width="400"></embed><noembed>&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://techyromantics.bandcamp.com/track/night-out-spazzkid-vs-techy-romantics"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Night Out (Spazzkid VS.

I was with my neighbor/good friend/brother Jaycee and his bandmates Japs and Nando from F.I.O. we went there by 9.30-ish.The place was packed.Everyone anticipated the album lauch.I've been a fan of Sugarfree since the <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"Mariposa"</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">"Burnout</span>" days.It does reflect the band's craft on their views on the pinoy pop culture.And i did see this on on the new album as well.Plus they also featured guest bands to make the have the night rockin' and rollin'- like Cambio and Sandwich.Which i'm also an avid listener. Cos i'm a huge fan of Raimund Marasigan's bands--all jumpy,all hyped up.Then came the band's main performance.The thing i like most about Sugarfree is they like to keep things raw and it's ok for them to laugh while singing.That's a good thing for me because they really do like to share what they know and they're open about it.Oh yeah,i almost won a freebie that night,unfortunately,i was 4 numbers short.hahah.main faves on the album launch? "Hay Buhay" pa din. then before going home,i feasted on too much siomai and black gulaman.XD but then again.cheers to a great night celebrating music once again!XD<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wearesugarfree.com/">http://www.wearesugarfree.com/</a>daioxsoundmachinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04905826808785320634noreply@blogger.com2
