                    [Summary] => 
Rumors of the death of the album as an art form have been circulating for a long time, at least as far back as 2000, when Spin magazine declared their Album of the Year as “Your Hard Drive.”

                    [Summary] => 
Designer Kate Torralba has reinvented herself as a neurotic, drunk-on-your-love singer-songwriter. But is her emotionally messy but sonically sleek debut album any good?

It was the year of R.E.M.’s “New Adventures in Hi-Fi,” of the Manic Street Preachers’ “Everything Must Go” and Fiona Apple’s “Tidal”; of warped americana and anthemic catharsis and brutally beautiful confessions crowding together on your mixtapes.

Think about it: if your true love actually sent you all the gifts described in that English Christmas carol, would you really appreciate it? Sure, maybe a Partridge in a Pear Tree, Turtle Doves and some French Hens would be interesting.

                    [Summary] => It was my first time to watch a live acoustic performance at the NBC Tent, the Philip Morris 100’s Strings and Sofas. 	The Tent was transformed into a music hall, but unlike the usual seating arrangement, sofas and lounge chairs were arranged for a relaxing mood. Guests were comfortably hanging out and conversing with their friends, while being entertained by the music at the same time. The concert featured performances by Paolo Santos, Cooky Chua and Noel Cabangon. It was a privilege to watch the top acoustic performers in our country all in one night.

                    [Summary] => There is not much you can do by way of arrangement or  performance with the music of the Beatles except perhaps if you turn them into chamber pieces. The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton tried and failed miserably. Despite this though a wave of excitement accompanies the arrival of every new version of a Beatle song and though we always return to the originals, we never fail to listen.

the Philippines last  Saturday, March 25. The young  Carol, who is establishing
a career as a proficient belter, was his chosen interpreter.

She has no new album out but that is no reason for us not to take another look,
and of course, listen to the sparkling music of Julia Fordham. The pop-jazz
songbird performs again in Manila this Saturday, through the courtesy of the
Nation Broadcasting Corporation's Joey@Rhythms 92.3 FM, which is celebrating
its first anniversary.

If I remember right it was this same radio station that brought in the
enchanting Diana Krall a few months ago.

                    [Summary] => There is not much you can do by way of arrangement or  performance with the music of the Beatles except perhaps if you turn them into chamber pieces. The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton tried and failed miserably. Despite this though a wave of excitement accompanies the arrival of every new version of a Beatle song and though we always return to the originals, we never fail to listen.

It wasn't Jungee Marcelo's night. Neither was it Carol Banawa's who could have
used the victory to earn points to forward her career. Jungee's song Make It

at the Asia Song Festival composition that was held at the Cultural Center of
the Philippines last  Saturday, March 25. The young  Carol, who is establishing
a career as a proficient belter, was his chosen interpreter.

She has no new album out but that is no reason for us not to take another look,
and of course, listen to the sparkling music of Julia Fordham. The pop-jazz
songbird performs again in Manila this Saturday, through the courtesy of the
Nation Broadcasting Corporation's Joey@Rhythms 92.3 FM, which is celebrating
its first anniversary.

If I remember right it was this same radio station that brought in the
enchanting Diana Krall a few months ago.

When fashion rocks (gently)

December 19, 2009 - 12:00am

I may be giving away my age here, but it was around 2004 when my taste in Christmas tunes changed forever and I owe it all to a fictional — and arguably geeky — tastemaker: Seth Cohen.
