Something before we start.
I made the mistake of drinking brewed coffee. Yes,I mean those beans that you put in the coffee maker and leave your eyes bloodshot. I was too lazy to mix powdered in my cup so I just turned on the coffee maker.
Now I can’t sleep. I’m the Evil Frankenjc, the lurker of internet at dawn. Bwahaha.
Anyway. Alright, people. Let’s get down to business. I know some of you have been waiting for this. Let’s go.
First treat: Tadhana by Moonstar88
Yes! Anggalinggalinggaling ng magic powers ko! Who would have thought? This one got me bopping till forever. This is a very welcome change for the guys who churned out Torete, although I still love Accel for that. Speaking of, Cris (or is it JP?) coined me in on this: Accel may just be forming a new band. Last we heard, she’s leaving Moonstar for marriage. Now, she’s gonna be back in the scene.
Hmm. Parang Katwo Librando and her new band Duster. We still don’t have much info, but there, Narda has disbanded, and she’s in a new band.
Anyway, here’s the mp3. Pagkarinig nyo, sisigaw rin kayo ng “dito tayo sa dileeem!” Swear. Parang Pedicab lang. :p

Second: Stolen (Acoustic) by Dashboard Confessional
This is per the request of Marlo. This is by far the most emotional of the ones I have downloaded. May isang acoustic, sobrang pangit. Grr.
Anyway. I think you’d like to hear this, Jayps.

Third: Of the original and the emo.
I found these while looking for Dashboard’s acoustic version of Stolen. Aparently this is for an MTV live session. Too bad I didn’t hear the REM version first. Dashboard’s version is nice with the emo touch, but REM’s is definitely better.

The photograph on the dashboard,
taken years ago,
Turned around backwards
so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals
the picture in reverse.
Still, it’s so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge.
The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I’m not sure all these people understand.
It’s not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September’s coming soon.
I’m pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.
Fourth : For JP
O. Ayan na. I’m still wondering why you’re looking for this. Di ba matagal na ito?

Fifth (and the second best after Moonstar88′s Tadhana): Contagious.
Yes. I’m not an Avril fan, but this is defintely good: “When you’re around I don’t know what to do / I do not think that I can wait / To go over and to talk to you / I do not know what I should say / And I walk out in silence / That’s when I start to realize / It’s so contagious / I cannot get it out of my mind / It’s so outrageous / You make me feel so high”

It’s okay. Most of us are.
Try checking the Archive for that discussion on this link: http://evilwearspink.com/blog/2007/07/09/hey-o-lets-go/ and it might shed some light. Hehe.

why does the tadhana running time say 18mins at the playlist when it’s just approx 4mins long?

You know, I’m not so sure. I noticed that before, but I don’t mind so much. :p Heeeeey! I just downloaded like Dashboard discography. Amp. About 170+mb. But it includes ALL albums, even MTV unplugged, chaka early works. Galing. :]
