Hung Up Stuck
by R.C. Kola


Get loose and listen to 90's music rendered by your favorite mainstream OPM artists. Fourteen tracks all in all.  This is in response for a special request. Pretty decent compilation. Mostly female covers of songs originally sung by males, and male covers of songs originally sung by females. It changes the mood they say, unisex music if there's a thing. If you want to impress your 90's peers and friends,  this should do.

GREEN DAY - UNO!


[audio:http://thesoundtripper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/01-Nuclear-Family.mp3]
Dos TreS!
R.C. Kola

 

The first of a series of three Green Day releases, a trilogy from September 2012 to January 2013. Uno, Dos, Tre! is the result of Green Day's most prolific and creative time of their lives. Their studio stint produced 38 songs which should have been a double album, was later split to three. This first release has initially received positive reviews from music critics, calling it a welcome switch from high concept to high energy. Dos! is out there now.

PEDICAB - KAYA MO MAG SANDO?



[audio:http://thesoundtripper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/05-Insekto.mp3]
Kamot Sa Likod
by R. C. Kola

 

Pedicab's latest EP.  Dance punk pinoy style.  Monsterbot and Sandwich volted in. They thrive and doesn't care. "Bakit nga ba tinatanong ng Pedicab kung "Kaya Mo Mag Sando?"  Listen on.   It is groovy, tasty and contagious.  Just sad to say that this won't reach that far on more attentive, misguided ears but that maybe is the point.

KISS - MONSTER

Hallelujah
R.C. Kola

 

This is hard rock at its finest! Following 2009's Sonic Boom, this is Kiss' 2012 release. Generic may be but they're back to the roots, 70's Rock and Roll. Grab it, you need it. I need it. Solid heavy metal.

THE SOUNDTRIPPER - COMPILATION VOLUME XX

A Page In Your Diary
by R.C. Kola

 

I remember the places when this kind of songs are played.  They sound like they're trying to cease the day, stopping time.  Like there's no more.  Like there's nothing more to expect.  That this is it.  Life as it is.  And I was just happy for a moment there.


Here are 10 great mixes of selected New Wave songs.  In case I miss this.  Just for the last time until it's gone for another decade.   Classic remixes.  Never thought they could sound this good.

DONG ABAY - REBULTO

Hubad Overcoat
by R.C. Avellanosa

 

It's about time. Had to have it downloaded from US ITunes and sent over by a good friend. It is  that hard to find here. And that's ironic because this release is a concept album about the Philippine's National Hero, Jose P. Rizal.  Rebulto tells of his statue, his resurrection and ostensibly Dong as Rizal's present thoughts of the Filipino and his country, Philippines.  Backed up by Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala on synths, engineered by Shinji.  And I read somewhere that the cover art was done as a 3d exercise by Dong's son Awit.  Expect more from Dong.

ROBERT POLLARD - JACK SELLS THE COW



[audio:http://thesoundtripper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/05-Pontius-Pilate-Heart.mp3]
Covert Robert
by R.C. Avellanosa

 

Bob's mind is racing. This is his second solo release this year along with two Guided By Voices releases. A third one "Bears For Lunch" is yet to come. To call him prolific is laughable, he is persistently productive.
