Oasis – Champagne Supernova

“Someday you will find me caught beneath the landslide… in a champagne supernova in the sky…”

Woke up with this song playing in my PC speakers…. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since this song was released…. i can remember i was singing and playing this on my guitar within the hallways of our school and when other people sees me playing it, they will try to jam and sing along with you.

Ahh the good ol’ days of youth… guess if i will be given a chance to go back15 years ago, i would say to myself, enjoy your youth and i tell you, years from now, you will be one stressed out guy working in a game company but hey, it will be fun… you get to meet new friends, be in a band, enjoy life, experience the ups and downs of life, will learn new things but the most important part of it is that you will meet the girl whom will complete you and will make you happy for the rest of your life… oh and btw, you will always say mnmkbp999 more often up until you grow old…

Sweet… i should make a me a letter addressed to myself 15 years from now…

But i promise the next post will be worth reading. I’ve been thinking of a website redesign for Points Of Interests, problem is that i can’t choose a new template that will match the theme of the site. Any templates that you guy can recommend? feel free to share it to me.

For the meantime, here’s the latest video from the treadmill guys which is named Ok go. Here is their latest work and i’m still looking if there were cuts made on this video that was done on continuous shot.

Being the kid of the late 80′s-early 90′s, i did have an idea and heard this song back as a kid. This was a powerhouse song showcasing the talents of the 80′s era.

Now  almost 25 years ago, this was redone with some of the well respected musicians and artists of this day.

All hail the king of pop for composing the song.

Almost a decade had already passed. It was just like yesterday when the whole world panicked about the Y2K problem, Tsunami’s and terrorist attacks are here and there. The fall of Saddam Hussein, the election of the first African-American president and other things that were truly a first for everyone, including your truly :)

As we look back in the year 2009, our country also has it’s shares of up’s and downs. We had the so-called “rice shortage” problem, the sex scandals which paved way to names like Maricar Reyes, Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili. We even sang the song “Careless Whisper” and uttered the words “Ooh lala! Sizzling Hot!” We felt sad with the deaths of the following celebrities like King of pop Michael Jackson, The EDSA revolution icon Cory Aquino, The creator of one of the most famous models of guitar that most musicians use, Les Paul just to name a few.

Ondoy caught us off-guard but instead of falling and tumbling down in the ground, we all joined hands and we rose from the aftermath. Truly, one of the sights to see and something to be proud of us filipinos all over the world. The massacre of journalists that happened in mindano which up to know, still has no justice served. I support the codemning of killing my fellow journalists.

Pacquiao kept on annihilating his foes (he’s done with mexicans, Hatton and Cotto were his new targets this year and he was successful on it) Too bad the dream match against Mayweather is on the rocks and im still hoping that one day, these 2 showstoppers will finally face off in the ring and prove to the world, who’se the real number one pound for pound fighter.

This is just a little sample of my look back at 2009. The next post will be my New Year’s Revolution (as i do it every year) 2009 in review and the tunes that kept me rockin on the year that is full of surprises and unexpected turns…

~Cheers!

While I’m preparing for the year end posts (yes, it’s the traditional new year’s revolution, top 10 music and other stuff) I’m bringing you a Japanese music break post. This time; it’s the same song done by 2 different artists: The videos are both coming from youtube users Sincer1987 and NerdyBass.

The first video is the original artist Husking Bee while the second one is a revival done by one of my favorite Japanese rock bands, Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The song is entitled “Kake Botan no Hama” which translates in english as “The beach of neglected buttons”

Go ahead and take your pick, which sounds better?

Either way, i think they’re both great versions.

On a side note:

This has to be the best album commercial for me this 2009. All of the album covers of Jay-Z was featured on this video.
