"Dharmaisms"

The music that lingers in my head is UpdharmaDown's "We Give In Sometimes"

"...Take me where I wanna be
any place will do
learn the tricks of fire
i apologize but i'm gonna
have to take me with you..."

Hyped:
I'm in awe for the past few weeks (and for the next couple of weeks more pa) to the dazzling sounds of UpdharmaDown's first album 'Fragmented'.

I don't know. Perhaps, they're just in the right timing to come up something different. Well... not actually different but rather -Unique blend of musical genres. Of course some will claim that they sound like Portishead and Massive Attack. Pero iba talaga e.

North to South:
Yesterday, me and my friend went to Alabang Town Center just to see them play live scheduled at 6pm. I'm from Quezon City... imagine the trip from north to south just by hearing the place... "quezon city to alabang." =)

Yes, we we're lost for sometime in metropolis alabang. However, we planned to meet as early as 3pm for this one of a kind trip down to south. At lumagpas pa yung jeepney na sinasakyan namin sa ATC. ang galing talaga ng sinabi ni calculus na... "What is worth doing is worth delaying!" It helped us out to properly plan a fixed meeting time. So that even if we we're lost in the travel(which we highly anticipated it), we had alot of time ahead before the exact time. =) wehehe..

...And we did it! exactly 5:05pm we were already in the TOWER RECORDS ALABANG TOWN CENTER BRANCH. The band too, was already there and making their soundchecks. whew... the tiresome travel and the stomach aches due to not eating lunch was all paid off. What do we get? -four hours of happiness. =)


Like a drug so addicting:
Oh well... It's a bit weird for me. Because it's unlikely for me to go travel miles and see gigs of any local artists and yet this is one of the many bands that just got me carried away.


There's no harm in trying:
