Rereading A Song of Ice And Fire: A Game of Thrones - Danaerys I [06 May 2012|11:23pm] I was supposed to include two chapters in this post but found out that this was a lengthy one. I completely forgot about reading Dany's first chapter and this time enjoyed it more because of all the details that I had overlooked during my first reading: ( Spoilers ) post comment

Rereading A Song of Ice And Fire: A Game of Thrones - Catelyn I [29 Apr 2012|05:51pm] (Warning: Don't continue reading if you haven't read the books yet - Spoiler Alert) ( Highlights ) 2 comments|post comment

Rereading A Song of Ice And Fire: A Game of Thrones - Bran I [28 Apr 2012|01:39am]   Jon’s eyes were a grey so dark they seemed almost black, but there was little they did not see. He was of an age with Robb, but they did not look alike. Jon was slender where Robb was muscular, dark where Robb was fair, graceful and quick where his half brother was strong and fast. I didn't notice this comparison between Robb and Jon during my first read. This is very interesting for me especially that it supports the "R+L=J" theory. One more thing I didn't really pay attention to was this:   His father knelt and groped under the beast’s head with his hand. He gave a yank and held it up for all to see. A foot of shattered antler, tines snapped off, all wet with blood.   A sudden silence descended over the party. The men looked at the antler uneasily, and no one dared to speak. Even Bran could sense their fear, though he did not understand. So it was also not an ordinary deer that killed the not so ordinary wolf. Hmmm :D 4 comments|post comment

Weekly Albums part 42 [21 Aug 2011|05:03pm] Artist: Fugees Album: The Score Comments: This was the first album (cassette tape) I purchased EVER. Back then, MTV was still very popular and I enjoyed watching (listening) to Ready or Not, Killing Me Softly and Fu-gee-La so I bought the album. Since I was still 13 at the time, I didn't really understand much of the words  (I coudn't search for the lyrics in the net and even if I did, I also wouldn't understand their meaning). But I still sang (rapped) along with the songs even though the lyrics were expletive. Listening to it again, I understood now what the songs were really about. I learned that 2/3 of the Fugees are Haitian-American and that they were from New Jersey and that they were from the ghettos. And I also realized that they made really good lyrics and nodded with myself upon reading in Wikipedia that they are one of the most influential HipHop artists. It's just so sad that Lauryn is no longer in good terms with Praz and Wyclef. She made really good melodies in the choruses. My Rating: 4/5 Favorite Tracks: Cowboys, Mista Mista, Ready or Not Track I like the least: Manifest 3 comments|post comment

Weekly Albums part 41 [07 Aug 2011|10:01pm] Artist: Eraserheads Album: Bananatype EP Comments: This was my second E-heads purchase. I bought the CD on the day of it's release. I love the "I-don't-fucking-care-I-just-wanna-write-songs mode" of this EP, and at the same time, the songs are fucking great. Harana is singable yet somehow weirdly relatbale and it has an epic outro. I taught my sister how to sing it. Policewoman was hilarious and listening to it now made me realize that I didn't understand some lyrics when I was in 1st year High School. Bananatype/I can't remember you is full of energy and it was the first time I heard about a dude named Sancho. And of course Tikman was a already a classic before it was even released because of the Burger Machine commercials. (Robin Rivera however, did not produce this track.) Overall, I really enjoyed this EP because it made me more excited for Sticker Happy which was also released in 1997. My Rating: 4/5 Favorite Tracks: Harana, Tikman Track I like the least: Policewoman post comment

Music Geekery [10 May 2011|04:07am] Peff is Mr. Kurt Kurasaki. He is all of the following:  1. Sound Design for Propellerhead Software - FSB, Orkester, Electric Basses, et al. 2. Instructor for Berklee Online - Producing Music with Reason 3. Author of Power Tools for Reason Book Series 4. Developer of Producing Music with Reason, and Music Production with Reason & Record 5. Occasional Music Producer & Gearslut I posted this because I am a big fan of Peff (alongside with other Reason/Record giants like Dave from Boy in a Band, James Bernard and Josh Mobley).  And I got starstruck because he answerd my question about CV  (Control Voltage) usage in REASON. He has lots of winner experimental stuff/ music/ tutorials/ patches. Go to www.peff.com to learn more. Here is a video of him introducing the Rebirth App for iPad. post comment

Weekly Albums part 29 [08 May 2011|07:38pm] Artist: Lite Album: Filmlets Comments: I got this from Last FM. Similar artist ng toe. At first parang toe. Kaya lang mas prog ang feel nito kasi lahat malikot. walang steady parts, steady bass. Maganda naman yung mga parts, kaya lang nakakaumay. Mahirap siya pakinggan nang derederecho although siyempre ginawa ko. Tas ang ganda ng Dead Leaf. haha My Rating: 3/5 Favorite Track: Dead Leaf Track I like the least: RE post comment
