ahhh! my virgin ears...

i was unforcibly drawn to tower records yesterday by an unknown force, probably by my pangs of boredom. and seeing that the listening station for opm albums was free, i instantly grabbed the oppurtunity to drown myself in a torential flood of hopefully good music. on the rack was latest albums by slapshock, parokya ni edgar, marty mcfly, mongols, rivermaya, true faith and rex navarete. rex navarete? who's he? well for your info he is a fil-am stand up comedian residing in the states. so instead of the occasional head bobbing, foot stomping and/or hand tapping from songs of the bands, it was replaced by smiles, snickers and from time to time, boisterous laughter. now it makes sense why some of the people browsing through the shelves of cds where staring at me like i was some kind of a raging lunatic. ( or is just because they are smitten by my freakishly good looks? :j ) i admit it. i think i did look silly. i can't help myself. the man is good. he did cover a lot of somewhat ordinary but funny topics, from a party on 1904 to his magical lolo, from erap to racial snacks, from being caught with porno during his juvenile years to his tito boy's lecture about the birds and bees. (i especially liked the way he speaks our language.) although he is good at his craft, for me the replay value of his album is quite low. i wouldn't buy the album. but i'd sure like to see him perform live.
