OPM SONGS

LISTENING TO | KAMIKAZEE - NARDA (TOWER SESSIONS 2024)

Kamikazee is definitely in my Top 8 OPM bands of all time.

LISTENING TO | ELY BUENDIA - BULAKLAK SA BUWAN

Fire song from Ely Buendia.

LISTENING TO | ITCHYWORMS - BAKIT HINDI KA CRUSH NG CRUSH MO?

I've always been a fan of Itchyworms, especially their Little Monsters and Noontime Show songs.

LISTENING TO | JOPPER RIL - SALAMIN, SALAMIN (BINI COVER)

If you are a child of the '90s, then this version hits home. This cover is awesome!

LISTENING TO | LETTERS TO JUNE - NASAN KA NA?

I like how it's like Ben&Ben but with the pogi rock emo-ness. It reminds me of the days of Shamrock and Join The Club. This is a good song.

LISTENING TO | PASTEL SKY - LILA

The cover photo is clickbait, but the music will drive you positively nuts, especially if you love those early '80s, Ted Ito-ish vibes....

LISTENING TO | PASTEL SKY - HANAP

Pastel Sky's Hanap is a good listen, especially if you just want to chill.

LISTENING TO | CAROUSEL CASUALTIES - BAKASYON

I first heard one of Carousel Casualties' songs on GMA's Playlist YouTube channel. I think that was before the pandemic hit. Anyway, this...

LISTENING TO | TANYA MARKOVA - IGLAP (TOWER SESSIONS LIVE)

while I like the studio version (and the music video that also had Roxanne Barcelo,) I found the live Tower Sessions even better,

LISTENING TO | JUAN KARLOS - TANGA MO JUAN

I initially wanted to snub checking out the music video, because I thought this would be a nationalistic song celebrating the Philippine...

LISTENING TO | APO HIKING SOCIETY - O GILIW KO

It all started when my kid was being unreasonable. We were about to travel, so I thought I should teach him a lesson. No, I was not going...

LISTENING TO | OVER OCTOBER - IKOT

It's a chill song about confusion and delusion. I like it.

LISTENING TO | JUAN KARLOS - LIMANG TAON

it's awesome to find people being vulnerable with their singing, and a good example of this is JK Labajo.

LISTENING TO | GARY VALENCIANO AND GLOC-9 - WALANG PUMAPALAKPAK

Gary Valenciano is an icon. I was about to write a bunch of expletives before the word "icon," but I had to stop myself. Sa Yah-weh!...

LISTENING TO | RIVERMAYA - ELESI (RIVERMAYA REUNION ON ASAP 2024)

I don't know if the YouTube source will be taken down, so I saved a copy for my listening pleasure. Anyway... RIVERMAYA RULES!!! Without...

LISTENING TO | ROB DENIEL - MISS MISS

This is the first time I listened to a Rob Deniel song and for some reason, he is giving me Orange and Lemons vibes. Well, I guess this...

LISTENING TO | KIKO MACHINE - VAL SOTTO

Even if I'm affiliated with the rival network, it's just right for Tito, Vic, and Joey to have the Eat Bulaga name back. This is like...

LISTENING TO | SANG KISS MUNA - SIPILYO (BUBBLE GANG'S PASILYO PARODY)

Natawa ako doon sa "Pikachu, ikaw ba 'yan." Hehe. Anyway, here is Michael V, doing Michael V things again. This time, he gets hold of...

LISTENING TO | LOLA AMOUR & MICHAEL V (LOLO KANOR) - WAITING HERE SA PILA

Here's a version that I wanted to hear without the laugh track. After the Bubble Gang cover, Michael V as Lolo Kanor and Lola Amour...

LISTENING TO | LOLA AMOUR - HUWAG NA HUWAG MONG SASABIHIN (KITCHIE NADAL COVER)

I like this version. I still like the Kitchie Nadal version, but they are doing the right things to keep their selves relevant. Raining...

LISTENING TO | PAROKYA NI EDGAR - HALAGA (THE VOICE GENERATIONS VERSION)

So this is why this rock-out performance by Parokya ni Edgar is awesome.

LISTENING TO | CHICOSCI - A PROMISE

Full disclosure. I was NOT a Chico Science fan when they first debuted. For some reason, part of my brain wanted to choose between Chico...

LISTENING TO | ZACK TABUDLO - DELULU

I've been rocking on music as if Bedrock is still alive. And I guess it takes to a time when Padi's Point Calamba is a teen hotspot....

THOUGHTS | RAINING IN MANILA MUSIC VIDEO

Lola Amour's Raining in Manila is probably one of the best OPM songs in 2023. It has that coffee shop vibe I like and I get why Michael V...
