Libera │ “Bayan Ko”
October 26, 2009I had the privilege to watch Libera’s Manila concert last night (Oct. 25) at the PICC and it was a great experience for me as a fan even when others slept and kept on making “unnecessary noise” during the most part of the concert. The Libera boys’ voices are ‘celestial’: as Amb. De Ocampo said in his opening remarks, their sound is almost like the angels’.
Below is a clip of their encore song “Bayan Ko“, a Filipino patriotic kundiman, recorded by one of our companions uploaded “officially” in YouTube so that everyone could watch and listen to this ecstatic performance. The arrangement is good and the style of Libera made the song even more hair-raising.

Kris Allen’s LLWD official single cover!
October 14, 2009Most of us Kris Allen fans were disappointed (it lacked creativity; bland) with the cover/artwork that came with the current Idol’s single when it came out on iTunes. Now, the following official single cover was released. Why the delay? Or was it because of the clamor for a ‘beautiful’ artwork/photo to front a pretty guy with a beautiful voice? Hmnnnn…

Genius mixes
October 10, 2009What’s in your iPod? I don’t know how iTunes v. 9.0.1(9) got to organize my music Library but I just love the Genius mixes. Genius indeed! Here’s mine:
And I already updated my iPod touch’s software to 3.1.2.
