Fatboy Slim Live in Manila 2013 Concert Review

Image
October 10, 2013 or technically October 11, 2013 at 1 A.M., Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim pushed the tempo at the Republiq Club in Resorts World Manila! One of the most sought-after DJs in the late 90's and beyond, it’s a dream come true to see and hear Fatboy Slim play in front on me. Seeing one fourth of the great new wave band the Housemartins is definitely a bliss! Flashbacks of my highschool days accompanied by blinker lights did help to condition myself for 2 hours of non-stop dancing to Fatboy Slim's house/electornica beats. Some of the songs I recognized from his setlist: Praise You Eat Sleep Rave Repeat Fucking in Heaven Jack by Breach B.Y.O.B. by System of A Down I See You Baby by Groove Armada Right Here Right Now We Are Your Friends by Justice Kids by MGMT Star 69 (What The Fuck) Jump Around by House of Pain Gangster Tripping Jump by Kriss Kross The Rockafeller Skank Praise You (Reprise) (Encore) It could have been a blast f

James Harden and Eric Gordon @ NBA 3X

Image
It's gonna be a superb NBA off season for the Philippines! And another James will be visiting the town. After witnessing NBA Champion LeBron James, Filipinos will be thrilled again by the arrival of James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Eric Gordon of the New Orleans Pelicans this July 27, 2013 for the NBA 3X at the Mall of Asia. As a Houston Rockets fan since the Yao Ming-Tracy Mcgrady era, Ron Arrest-Aaron Brooks days, and to the current Beardsanity-Linsanity connection, I would say it would be a great treat for all local Houston Rockets fans out there to see James Harden for the second time around since the Smart All Star Weekend 2 years ago. I'm a fan since his demolishing of the Spurs from the 2011-2012 playoffs (even though I am a big Manu fan) and winning the 6th Man of the Year honors as a Thunder.  Then he was traded to the Rockets to become their franchise player. I was really satisfied that they were able to reach the play offs as the youngest team assem

Lebron James Manila Tour

Image
NBA Superstar Champion LeBron James will be arriving in Manila for his one day tour tomorrow, July 23, 2013.  This would be the first time that LeBron James will be visiting Manila since his NBA debut 10 years ago. He just recently won MVP, finals MVP and a championship ring from the last NBA season with the Miami Heat. And I believe it would be like a finals celebration tomorrow at the MOA Arena based from the long free ticket line give away by Nike in their Fort Bonifacio High Street branch a few days ago. I hope this would be the start of his regular trips to the Philippines. This event us brought to you by Nike Philippines.

The xx Live in Manila!!!

Image
Rejoice indie and true hipster kids!!  UK indie rock band the xx will be playing in Manila this July 30. The xx is presently composed of Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, and Jamie Smith.  I am so hyped up that they will be performing here in Manila. I didn't expect that someone will be bringing them here on the height of their careers or that they considered playing here because they performed two years ago in Singapore. So there is a public clamor or just great brave souls bringing them here. I am a big fan of the band. I discovered their music on a one lazy afternoon watching indie band music videos at Channel V Asia around August - September 2009. It was the music video of 'Basic Space.' I was intrigued by the electronica minimalist approach of the song with a 'Tracey Thorn' (Everything But the Girl) and 'Joao Gilberto' (Bossa nova singer) vocals. Few months after, I saw the 'VCR' video, I was completely sold! Then I got hold of their fir
