Musika

concert hall

My musical knowledge is limited. I have my own criteria (a musical preference) why I enjoy a certain song, album or artist. I think as long as it can serve as a background for my daily mood, I am fine with it. I know few artists, have a small collection of albums and can hardly hum some tunes. But that’s me, and as much as I want to explore more about the music industry (local or international), I'd better wait for someone, or at least the airwaves, to plug new music to my ears. Laziness defined.

I have a weakness for OPM (Original Pilipino Music). I was able to appreciate it when I stayed in Japan. And now, I am starting to miss it again. Weird, but every time I listen to a Tagalog song, I can’t help but beam. My boredom level is increasing quite fast. I must learn how to drive now! That deserves another entry in the future.

As what I have written earlier, listening to OPM now is a magical journey. Yes, even those repetitious novelty songs, annoying revivals, tonsil-breaking ballads, forced rock and alternative tunes, they are tolerable now. Am I crazy or what? Thousands of Filipino songs will be produced in the years to come, yup, including those remakes, but I believe my favorite OPM songs will always remain as favorites. To some these songs may be “jologs” or “baduy”, but hey I like them. Walang pakialamanan. Hehe.

Mabuhay ang OPM!

  1. Fishing ah. Baduy daw.

    You got the Asin song title wrong. :p I'm totally with you on the folk rock thing - despite my metal inclinations, I'm also a big fan of Joey Ayala, Asin, Freddie Aguilar and Grace Nono.

    May taste ka pala? haha
