It’s like losing a limb or having a friend go away permanently to another country. Ebe Dancel leaving Sugarfree is like saying they’re disbanding. They might as well do. Ebe IS Sugarfree. I hate it. I feel sick just thinking about it; that they’re not going to release an album again (and even if they do, Ebe’s still not there).
This is very disturbing, you know. One of the greatest bands decided to disband and call it quits. I know this is very subjective, and I don’t even care whatever reasons Ebe has for leaving. Sugarfree isn’t just the three of them put together. It has grown into an entire community of people who all could relate to what they’re singing about. And if there’s no more Sugarfree, who will we trust to sing about our heartbreaks, our first crushes, about the love that we’ve lost or never thought to have but did?
Them new guys? That Callalily fruit who thinks he’s always singing a high note that he has to constantly open his mouth like he’s going to swallow the entire crowd? Seriously, he should just shit a brick and get it over with. In the first place, shithead, your band is named after a flower, for god’s sake, so stop pretending you’re a rock band. You can’t call yourselves Callalily and strut around like you’re hot shots at the same time. It just doesn’t work that way.
I know, it’s not even Callalily’s fault that Sugarfree disbanded, but fuck them, I need to direct my frustration to somebody else and they have the gayest name I could think of right now.
Fuck it, what’s happening to Filipino bands these days?
Fine Time: The Eraserheads Live! The Final Set

There’s no better way to describe last night than to do it using one of eheads’ songs: I hope we could spend more time together, a few hours is better than never. If we could only make it longer, a whole day would be fine, a whole day would be fine, a whole day would be fine, a whole day would be fine…
The Eresareheads Live! The Final Set was indeed a fine, fine time for me and I’m sure for everyone else who was there as well. It was one of the best nights of my life. Of course Ely still somehow sucked as a host at the beginning, talking very little to the audience, but he became better because he communicated with us through their music anyway, AND HE CAME DOWN FROM THE STAGE AND WENT TO THE AUDIENCE at the end so everything was compensated.
On the other hand, Raimund and Marcus (the very pogi Marcus Adoro wuhoo!) were awesome performers throughout. I’ve always been amused of Raimund’s dancing, his energy, and how he owns the stage and really sees the audience as part of the song, so seeing him perform was awesome. Marcus was awesome in a different way. He was the one who sang Huwag Mo Nang Itanong, with his signature Marcus-sense-of-humor way.
One of the best things is that I love most of the songs they played. I don’t like Julie Tearjerky and Insomya that much and would have them played Kahit Ano and Balikbayan Box instead, but oh well, it was only one night.
At the end, I think it was at the end of Huling El Bimbo, Ely approached the (same?) piano from the cover of their Sticker Happy album, poured gas over it and set it on fire. So for those who are still hoping there would still be another concert, I doubt it. It looked to me like it really was the final set, and that the concert is the last best shot of Eraserheads before they leave gracefully. And then when everyone thought it was the end of the concert, because confetti were already falling when they were playing Huling El Bimbo, and there were fireworks already, and after the song the camera even followed the band exiting to the back. But as the crowd was already leaving (and some already managed to go out) the band came back and played three more songs! Haha! Good thing no stampede happened, but everyone ran back, shouted once more, and jumped up and down again. I tell you, it was one hell of a concert.
Other highlights of the concert are: they dedicated Superproxy to Francis M of course, and they played a chorus of Kaleidoscope World for him too. Ely threw his shoes to the audience at the end.
And also the concert proved that their best album is still Cutterpillow because most of the songs they played came from that album, and it really is lol. Anyway, here are the songs they played in the concert.

The song changes me. Or is it Beyonce’s voice? Either way, I’m moved to the core and whatever negativity and cynicism that may have inhabited me vanishes as soon as At Last floods in the room with its melodious and heart-melting lyrics.
It feels like I’m transported suddenly to a time when I hadn’t had my heart broken yet; a time when all my fairy tale wishes were the most important thing for me to think about in a day; when I still longed for a prince charming and there really is someone who will come for me.
For three minutes, I’m not the person people have known to become cold and harsh. I’m the boy-crazy, high schooler who steals glances to the boy he likes and prays at night about meeting him in the street on the way to school. I calm down when I listen to the song, and I know that my heart is at peace. For a few minutes I believe that I still have an At Last, and someday I really would get to sing the song and feel it wholeheartedly because my heart is indeed wrapped in clovers and the skies above are blue.
It feels like forever when I listen to the song, but everything has its end. Three minutes is suddenly over and I find myself waking up from a dream.

May bagong album na ang Paramore. I think it’s better sounding than the first one, refreshing, tsaka sa tingin ko nagmature yung sound nila tsaka gumaling pa sila, tsaka although they maintained their old sound in most of their songs, nagtry sila ng bagong sound. Kitang kita sa Misery Business, When It Rains at Fences. Yung Fences may pagka-ska pa, hehe. Weee, ganda ganda ng album.

“I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don’t we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.”

The song was “recommended” by someone–ok not recommended, more of dedicated it to me. Anyway, when I saw the video, naastigan talaga ako. Biruin mo ba naman alam mo kung gaano na lang ang buhay ng lahat ng tao sa mundo, pero sayo hindi mo alam! Tapos lately naisip ko parang yung Death God sa Death Note, yung nakikita nya yung lifespan nung tao. Ang eerie siguro nun no, ayoko ng ganung power. Haha.
