Hello everyone, it's Kathy!
Sorry for the late updates but i'm making up for it by being scanner happy! haha. Check out the photos section! I just uploaded some of the our magazine appearances (sosi haha) including the recent one which was a review of "Themesongs" in Pulp magazine aka Pulp Times - March 2009 issue! Nakakalambot ng cheeks (haha iz my newly acquired phrase from Los-udd!) to be compared with Arcade Fire's Funeral and Death Cab for Cutie's Transatlanticism (whoa) --- I'm too lazy to write it here so i scanned it instead haha! Thanks Mr. Jason Caballa for the kind, kind words :)
And oh! in the spirit of me being in the zone of updating: I also uploaded (in the music section) our fun-filled-sando-day Brewrats guesting 2 weeks ago. Enjoy!
p.s. just wanted to greet my co-arian race bandmates haha: belated happy birthday, Selena! and advance happy birthday Joe and Zig!

what's the buzz
hi guys, things have been quiet but a lot of happenings have happened without much updating here.
jing went to singapore and came back, we played our first out of town gig, don laudencia of aizo jammed with us, we've been writing songs and demoing like crazy. a lesson learned: if the album takes this long to come out, better get started on the next one early, i think. haha.
i think i've been a bit too bratty, i wanna apologize to my bandmates and the other people who we (mostly i) inconvenienced at subic because i was too demanding haha. you have no idea how often a phenomenon hunger tantrums are to this band. we want food now haha. also, there's this common joke people say when they find out that i'm part of shirley, it's always "wag mo kami kakalimutan pag sikat ka na a" and i never liked that, although it seems like there's this little distance that inserts itself when you're gonna play a gig and you wanna get in the zone and you wanna be the singer of the song and the song makes you feel all these feelings because you wrote the songs about something and i guess im still getting used to the idea that im sharing these feelings to other people i don't know
haha what a problem, drama queen band person kind of monologue. it's something sort of like kevin garnett, being intense all the time. i wanna be kevin garnett. intense all the time.
-------------------------------------
i've been talking with mikey of the great ciudad, and jason of the superb pedicab, and we had this conversation about how when our albums come out it'll be the big thing, the sophomore pedicab album (it's amazing), ciudad's bring your friends (their best album to date), and even the third itchyworms lp (i haven't heard anything from it though) is probably coming out at the same time that themesongs is slated to (finally) come out. exciting times. it makes me reminisce about the days when i got excited about new albums coming out. i'm not as up to date these days because of school and the radio show and the band and real life, but i love how we're part of something like this. ang bandang shirley has come a long way. haha. yes.
-------------------------------------
another thing, i've been really into the old dear catastrophe waitress album by belle and sebastian. i love how i'm not this super big fan of the band all the time, but there are flashes of intense love for the gospel according to stuart murdoch and co. i think that's the proper fandom, detached intense periodic fandom. like one day you'll start craving to hear patintero/habulan/larong kalye and you go crazy trying to find your copy of the rizal day sessions version, wondering what the themesongs version sounds like. sana may shirley fandom na ganun. haha. anyway i'm listening to dear catastrophe waitress right, and im singing along to the songs, and then i hear stay loose, the last track on the album. i think i never listened to it this much before, and it just reminds me of a lot of good feelings. i'm gonna be playing guitar for next week's gigs, cause the attorney and donald are both busy, so i'm gonna be channeling stay loose.
catch us tonight at magnet katipunan, tuesday the 29th there also, and the 30th at cafe saguijo for chubibo's rawr album launch :)
long rambly post. i miss you band! jam na tayo gusto ko na tugtugin live yung taksil haha
