hi shirley blog it's been a while! but forgive me for i shall indulge in a fanatical post not about ang bandang shirley but my other great love that is the band ciudad haha.
but first things first...
reasons why this is not an off-topic shirley blog post:
1) me and owel are oldschool ciudad mailing listers. i somewhat met owel through ciudad's mailing list 7 years ago.
2) jing studied in ateneo highschool just like all the members of ciudad.
3) selena has a friend who had an ex whom the ciudad boys are friends with
haha. W!
sorryy. ok. the reason for this sudden burst of no1fanhood yet again is because i just got my copy of ciudad's new album "bring your friends" last night at route 196 and to quote ean's text message the morning after: "putangina ang ganda ganda ng bring your friends."
yung description ko ng album ganito:
"para kang nagbabasa ng online journal ng matagal mo nang kaibigan na hindi mo na nakakausap ngayon tapos kahit cryptic/vague/hindi mo na kilala yung mga taong kinukwento nya---naiintindihan mo pa din lahat. nakakaconnect ka pa din sa kanya kase nga matagal mo na siyang kaibigan o kaya somehow parang connected pa din kayo kase marerealize mo na both of you are going through the same things and by realizing that everything seems to be less scary because you know you'll be fine eventually."
or
it's a quarter-life crisis soundtrack.
haha.
ang gusto ko lang talaga sabihin eh ang underrrated ng ciudad pero ang galeng-galeng nila talaga eh so for the love of indierock and everything that is worthwhile please check out ciudad's new album "bring your friends" haha its worth your 250 pesos :)
love, kathy g.
200p lang nung route, so i guess pag live you can get it cheaper!
ReplyDeleteother reasons why it's not off topic:
4. si mikey yung nag-master ng themesongs, yung debut album ng bandang shirley.
5. nag-session na si mikey as drummer ng bandang shirley nung ramones night sa magnet a long time ago
6. nung 10 year anniv gig ng ciudad, tumugtog ang early shirley lineup ng cover ng what about me (tama ba title? basta kanta ni justin) in honor of the wonderful band that is ciudad
...
madami pa e, we and ciudad are incredibly intertwined haha
actually P250 ang bring your friends at live performances. but they're also selling is that ciudad? yes it's me son and it's like a magic for P200 at their gigs.
ReplyDeleteheading back home and the last thing i wanna do ---> iyak na!
yes, you REALLY should get yourselves a copy of bring your friends! for the love of all that is pure and true in this world.
ReplyDeletei texted mikey this morning: "dude, sobrang ganda ng bring your friends! :) ace arrangements, great lyrics, and uber melodic tunes! :D"
reply naman nya: "thanks jing! wow that means a lot! :)"
re ean's text yesterday morning na "putangina ang ganda ganda ng bring your friends.", sagot ko naman, "yeah, pinapakinggan ko rin ngayon. alam mo yung feeling of musical sureness in a song? nandito! :)" whatever that means, basta ang ganda ganda ganda! :D
