Something Positive

Got a chance to talk to Jeff (Candyaudioline Drummer) last night... i asked him if he was still interested in playing drums for Candyaudioline... He said yes... We'll just have to wait and see if things will pick up from there... Atleast there's something positive to look forward to...

Pissed !!!

October is almost over and still nothing to get excited about... the same old situations of coping with some the things i hate most...

Wish we could or i could find people / someone who'd help us / me finish things... Wish there's something inspiring about this situation we're in at the moment...

haven't really posted for a long time coz i can't find the use for such but i guess
there is...

Honestly i feel like it's not going to go anywhere... the waiting has gone to long... i should've let things be when the situation was there... now I'm regretful for giving it another try... a total waste of my / our time...

I just wish people could be more honest and just... mindful of others and not just play safe looking after themselves not considering how difficult it is for the 'affected others"...

Candyaudioline don't really deserve this...

Slowdive Night " Catch the Breeze Just For a Day"

Slowdive Tribute "Catch the Breeze Just For a Day" (July 28, 2011) at Freedom Bar, Anonas. Featuring:

Monochrome

Skies of Ember

Elemento

Candyaudioline

Show Starts at 9:30 pm.

Often derided as My Bloody Valentine clones, I would beg to differ by offering the following proof that the two groups aren’t nearly as similar as some would have you believe. Although Slowdive does the swooning boy/girl layered vocals, the manner in which they are presented isn’t as obscured as those found on Loveless. Kevin Shields was known for his use of volume and tape saturation as a means to achieve the guitar sound found on that classic record. Neil Halstead and co. did actually use a considerable amount of effects pedals (hence the term shoegazer) to achieve their airy sound, ending up with far more in common with groups like The Cocteau Twins and The Cure’s Disintegration than My Bloody Valentine ever did. Finally, in a move which got them dropped from Creation Records in favor of signing real clones Oasis, Slowdive produced one of the forgotten gems of 90s post-rock on Pygmalion.

Now the present, four brave bands will be playing renditions of Slowdive

MONOCHROME - When the Sun Hits
Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
You burn so fast it scares me
mind games don’t leave/lose me
I’ve come so far don’t lose me

ELEMENTO - Crazy for You
Crazy for lovin’ you…

Candyaudioline - Celia’s Dream
She told me that she loved me
Love, just for a day
And all the time I feel her
I feel her fade away

Skies of Ember - 40 days
- Alison
- Catch The Breeze

listen close and dont be stoned
i’ll be here in the morning
cause i’m just floating
while your cigarette still burns
your messed up world will thrill me
alison i’m lost

So the story goes that after My Bloody Valentine had nearly bankrupted Creation Records and then couldn’t produce a follow-up to Loveless, label founder Alan McGee started signing Brit-pop groups like Oasis that were actually making money. The majority of American audiences never really caught onto the shoegaze movement during its brief existence anyhow, which was eventually snuffed out by grunge (although Kurt Cobain was noted to be a huge fan of My Bloody Valentine). Slowdive sort of got lost in the transition. Rumor has it that Oasis apparently demanded that in order to be signed to Creation, McGee had to drop Slowdive from the label roster, even though in reality Oasis had released its first single a year prior to Slowdive’s dismissal. During this period, Neil Halstead had become extremely interested in techno and ambient music. With the fact that Creation and Slowdive’s US label, SBK, had offered little to no promotion for Souvlaki and the fact that many of its band members had departed in no small part due to Halstead’s increased drug use and infatuation with the techno scene, it seemed like the group was on the verge of calling it quits. Knowing that they were about to be dropped from Creation, Halstead began work on the final Slowdive record, Pygmalion.

Amped Happiness...

Hello everyone...

inspite of playing last last night, i did get to enjoy our long set... thanks to Josh who agreed to bring an amp... Sazi's Bar's amp should have been laid to rest for sometime now... hehehe

i've long been thinking of buying me an amp... even just a small 50-80 watts one so that i won't get annoyed and won't be forced to use a bad amp... during our recent buzz night stint, Monochrome was kind enough let let everyone use their amp...

last night's gig was a nice way to spend quality time with friends before leaving for the U.S. and i guess we did really good...

Just wish we could've practiced last Monday.. if we did, i would have 2 new Candy songs to listen to during our 3 week absence... anyways, 3 weeks is not really that long a time but i'll sure going to miss this for the time being...

it's almost 1:30am, got to prepare my stuff... 'til the next post...

What's with the Tagboard?

Just finding it really annoying that everytime i view this blog, i seem to notice our tagboard being filled with messages which has nothing to do with us...

Just hope something can be done about this the soonest possible time coz i might be forced to remove the tagboard sometime soon...

Undecided...

Hello everyone...

i'm not sure if it's safe to say it, but i guess we're done with the recording of our album which i'll tentatively call "Lost Track Of Yesterday"... 10 tracks in all... 8 of which i'm very pleased with how they sounded... the problem is, 2 of the songs came a bit short of what i want to them to sound though...

still undecided as to when it shall come out but it will definetly be released very soon...

haven't had time to practice lately... wish we could've last Sunday... technically we have two new songs still waiting to be finalized... been trying a riff-based approach to writing songs and so far i've come up with 2 which has a bit of a post-rock feel to it but definitely, i hope it'll come to par with most of the songs we've come up with lately...

we have a gig tonight... 1 before i, together with Jeff and Dennis, leave for the U.S. this thursday...

2 More To Go...

Hello everyone...

after almost 3 straight nights staying up 'til 3am at Pink Noise, i'm glad to say that we're almost done with the Mixing Stage... we're just 2 songs short of completing the Album... It's just "Gently Fall Today" and "With No Sunshine" left while the rest have been mixed...

although, the mixing process has been quite smooth so far, except for that time when we got unsatisfactory results during the mixing of both "Away We Go" and "Far Frome Where", i think there will still be a few more adjustments before we could finally move on to the mastering stage...

i'm quite surprised at how some of the songs ended up sounding quite good which i never really expected, specially the song "So Much Of You" which had to be re-recorded, slowed down and lastly reverted back to it's up-beat form... of the mixed songs, my favourites are "Whispering Nothing", "Lose Track Of Yesterday", "Your Smiling Eyes" and "Far From Where"...

Just have to wait 'til next week...

01 Sad Inside (3:48)
02 Waste My Time (4:03)
03 Light A Candle (3:02)
04 Discarded Toy (3:10)
05 Flaming Walls (4:27)

10 Wicked Glances (4:01)
11 For All I Care (2:41)
12 Something Wrong (3:57)
13 Nothing Much To Lose (3:36)
.

Referências: Banda de Manila, Filipinas. Indie-Rock, Shoegazer. Depois da passagem dos conterrâneos do Sonnet LVIII, Taken By Cars, Apple Orchard e Moscow Olympics, chegou a vez do Candyaudioline (uma das bandas queridinhas do Amor Louco na atualidade) com seu ótimo "Saved It For Torture Reference", debut lançado de forma independente (antes em 2002 já tinham lançado o EP "Am Empty You"). As referências ficam em Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints, Dinosaur Jr, Pia Fraus e Stereolab (cuja a canção 'Jenny Ondioline', do EP do mesmo nome de 1993, foi referência no nome dos filipinos). Apesar das referências Shoegazer o disco flerta com o Pop (ecos de Lush) o tempo inteiro, uma delícia sonora. Ecay (Vocais), Allan (Guitarra/Vocais), Dennis (Guitarra), Kel (Bateria) e Maggot (Baixo) formam a banda. O disco é repleto de canções bacanas, destacam-se 'An Empty You' (minha preferida), 'Sad Inside', 'Light A Candle', 'Wicked Glances' e 'Something Wrong' (outra preciosidade). O disco fecha com uma reverência aos mestres do MBV, a cover de 'Nothing Much To Lose'. Obscuro e obrigatório.

References: Banda Manila, Philippines. Indie-Rock, Shoegazer. After the passage of the countrymen's Sonnet LVIII, Taken By Cars, Apple Orchard and Moscow Olympics, the time came for Candyaudioline (one of the darlings of the bands nowadays Mad Love) with his great "Saved It For Torture Reference", released debut so independent (in 2002 before they had released the EP "Empty Am You"). References are in Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints, Dinosaur Jr, and Pia Fraus Stereolab (whose song 'Jenny Ondioline', the EP of the same name in 1993, was a reference in the name of the Filipinos). Despite the references Shoegazer disc flirts with pop music (echoes of Lush) all the time, a delicious sound. Ecay (Vocals), Allan (Guitar / Vocals), Dennis (guitar), Kel (drums) and Maggot (bass) form the band. The album is full of cool songs stand out 'An Empty You' (my favorite), 'Sad Inside', 'Light A Candle', 'Wicked Glances'and 'Something Wrong' (another gem). The disc closes with a reverence for the masters of MBV, the cover of 'Nothing Much To Lose'. Obscure and compulsory.

2 Gigs 1 Night, It's Been A While...

Hello Everyone...

it's been a while since we had played at 2 different venues in 1 night...

originally, it was just supposed to be at 70' Bistro but upon learning that there was a slot that needed to be taken because one band backed out at our prod. at sazi's, i decided to let Candy play there too...

the 70's Bistro gig was supposed to be a really enjoyable one, inspite of the fact that we really can't get our volumes up everytime we play there, but during the middle of our last (5th)song, i think the bass amp went bust... ending our set on a slightly dissappointing note... still i think we played very well specially during the 2 new songs ("Your Smiling Eyes" and Lost Track Of Yesterday")... then off we went to Sazi's...

i wasn't really expecting that we'll have a swell time at sazi's knowing the fact that we'll be playing infront of a slightly young crowd weened on music that is predominant;y "emo"... but i like playing to an unsuspecting public... Coming from 70's Bistro, which was really Jampacked, i was a bit surprised that Sazi's was also a bit full-house... and also the P.A. system was louder than usual... it made me want to play more... when it was our time to play, we wasted no time setting up... all the amps were sounding so good... once we started playing, i knew that it was going to be enjoyable... our volumes swelled everytime we moved on to the next song... i was really enjoying it so instead of playing just 4 songs, i decided to add one more song at the last minute... we went down the stage smiling...






hope we'd have a chance at doing this again... 'til the next post...

Hopefully...

hello everyone...

hopefully we get to practice tonight with Jeff or maybe in the next couple of days... he's back, according to him...

not really sure how to react to this but i guess i don't have to expect much anymore... or maybe take each day as is comes... it's been a period of uncertain things for the past few months... what, with all the things happening around...

just hoping that this time... things we'll shift to the positive side of the pole and stay there for the longest possible time...

til' the next, hopefully happy post...

Enjoy The Silence...

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm... so goes the lines from the song "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode...

Hello everyone...

as usual... everything's quiet again here at Camp Candy... wasted are the days wherein everyone's free yet no one wants to take the initiative... well, Arjay and Dennis have been asking me as to when's the next Practice...

I don't really understand myself as to what's with me lately... i should have accepted the fact that it has always been i who should be taking charge of things but why am i sitting things out? why am just letting things pass by? am i enjoying this?

Partly to blame. i think, is this current side project that i'm having which i have "tentatively" called "Lipstick Tragedy"... it's slowly turning into a joke mainly because i've been very unlucky getting myself a drummer who;s willing to commit... i've already approached two... the first one attended 1 practice session, mysteriously dissappeared for almost three weeks than informed me last Saturday that she was ready only to text me again the next day that she could no longer commit herself to us... at least the second drummer informed me the day after i approahed her that she can't play drums for us since her other band is starting to get busy... Maybe its time to ditch the idea of having a girl for a drummer... also, i'm having abery hard time writing the songs... i've only managed two as of the moment... stupid of me not realising early on that Glitter Rock requires a lot when it come to arrangements and also with regards to vocal melodies... sadly i'm way too short with regards to that department... but that doesn't mean that i've given up already... i haven't even started my search for the vocalist of this group...

So what about things at Candy? i've not much to say really... i do miss it a lot though...

A Promise...

"You said nothing will change... We were almost near, Almost far... Down came the rain... But nothing will change, You promised...
- Echo And The Bunnymen (A Promise)

Hello evryone...

Time flies so fast and somehow it's March already... Summer's supposed to have arrived a few days ago but instead all we see are clouds in the sky... Still, it's been very humid the past couple of days... i usually feel very uncomfortable during this kind of weather... It is very hard to go about things due mainly to the promise of uncertainty that such a scenario offers...

That being taken into account, it's not very different from what's been happening to Candyaudioline lately... Too many things are forcing us to slow down a bit to a point that i feel we're being forced into a girnding halt...

The point of being in this group is mainly just to enjoy this gift and share it with others but it is really very hard to share something that's somewhat falling apart... i've refrain from listing to our songs for the past few weeks mainly because of the situation we're in right now...

The right word to call us right now is.... A "Promise"... We have just become another Promise... Something that may or may not happen... And that's the worst thing i would want us to be... Like Soft Pillow Kisses... People who knows would understand what i'm blabbering about...

It's March already... Sooner or later it'll be April... Don't want to wait anymore but there's nothing we can do about it for now...

Hello Eveyone

Buzz Night will be on the 22nd of February (Tuesday)... Here's the line up...

Lazy Lorelei
Candyaudioline
Gentlemen Mary Brunettes
The Shaunriders
Monochrone
Soft Pillow Kisses...

See you there...

Beer, Pizzas, Mojos And A Slightly Long Walk...

Hello evryone.

Me, Dennis and Celene had a few bottles of Beer, A Family Sized Pizza and Some Mojos at Celene's Place...

being inactive, we talked about lots things related to the band... a huge abundance of "What", Whys" and "Hows" was how the conversation was... Actually it was mostly "Whys" and "Hows"... we touched almost every topic ranging from the essentials on to utter non-sense... Remeniscing, looking forward but most of the time sticking to the present, questioning the very sense of it all which, even as we where in our most senseful selves, was outright sneseless...

maybe and maybe not was the common conclusion that we always came to arrive at... then, we all to realised that it was getting late... but 2:30am isn't that late when it comes to our standards... we usually end practicing until 3:30am in those good 'ol times... but life will always be "Like A Wheel" spinning...

unfortunately for Candyaudioline...

it was a long walk for me and Dennis to where we could get ourselves a cab... silence was everywhere, the lights were dim and the road is wide... i can hear the trees whispering promises to my tired ears... i listened for a while but i didn't really care...

'til the next post...

At Last... Where To?

hello everyone...

i've been wanting to do this for a long time but never really had the proper motivation or the slightest reason and confidence to do so...

now that i've done it, i was able to get some positive results from it... so where does this take us... still i don't know... well, that's alaways been the case and i've slowly learned to embrace it...

so it'll be another step i guess but i'm not sure as to how should i be doing it... actually, there are still far to many things to consider specially now, given our current situation of which, if you have been following is not the very likely one we would want to be to start with... but at least...

we're still in the yellow zone, meaning...

i guess i'm not making sense to most of you but to those who you seems to be getting to where i'm at right now, just wait and see and...

'til the next post...

It Should've Been...

hello everyone...

the first Buzz Night of 2011 was a bit weird for me... i was only able to confirm the gig barely 4 days before gig time and was able to complete the line up 2 days prior... in short, i wasn't really expecting a medium sized crowd or a somewhat festive atmosphere... plus the fact that i wasn't really up to it with both of my bands not realy a hundred percent prepared...

i got there really late with Dennis thanks to that UST thing happening just across... hours before i thought Mar was joking when he said that the place was packed... well, not everyone was there for the event... most of them were UST students just hanging out waiting for the traffic to thin out... still a crowd's a crowd and i was happy to know that the bands playing that night were being exposed to unsuspecting ears...

i arrived halfway thru Slumbook's set and was eager to see visiting old friends but was really surprised to see more than i was expecting... Kel and Deanna were there, Zhai and Remmy and even Rene although he had to go early so i didn't really got to see him... Lara was there too and i even got her to play bass in 2 songs with Pillow...

as usual, my Pillow and Candy-mates were also enjoying themselves with Celene, who was a bit under the influence of the stars and alcohol at that time, being the center of attraction... i just can't help laughing my guts out when Joms did that wrestling move to Celene...

anyways, on to our set... which i guess was were everything started to slightly fall apart... first, one of my strings snapped so i had to use Mar's telecaster which i didn;t really liked... then my amp was beginning to fall apart... also, Josh was a bit tired which made us miss Jeff some more... but to top things off was Celene's dancing... it was really a let down but we really can't do anything about it...

it should've been something but it has happened so maybe we'll just have to wait til next gig to...

that'll be that for now.. i'm really sleepy...

Still waiting for 2 more bands to confirm...

ti'l the next post....

Yun Na!!! Nangyari Na Nga...

Are We About To Hit A Brick Wall Again...

we've been very active lately... we've already played 3 gigs, have a new song and we even went to Baguio for a quick gulp of cool air...

but there seems to be something just around the corner that might cause a sudden stop to our slightly happy 2011 journey...

i've just learned of this last night and was quite upset... i felt much more agitated when one of my bandmates (jokingly) suggested that if ever that "unfortunate situation" comes out then, there's no use moving on...

well i don't really give a fuck whether everyone leaves... it's nothing new really... i only thing that gets me annoyed is the idea that just because you're bound to lose a single strand of hair you're about to let go of the rest... that's really something isn't it...

i just can't help feeling really offended...

to the cause... hope you get what you truly deserve...

Candyaudioline - Your Smiling Eyes (New Song)

parang naniniwala na ako sa kasabihan na pag maganda ang isang kanta malamang pangit ang napagkunan ng inspirasyon... true true true...



wasting away the time everyday
just waiting for, i've got nothing to say
those smiling eyes, it's all in my mind
i can't see

drifting away, what words should i say
it can't be, i'm losing my way (from you)
your smiling eyes, they're so hard to find
it can't be...

time Ttrying) to let you know how much i'm down again...
drowning (Laughing) at the thought of being alone again...

Candyaudioline Baguio Trip (January 9, 2011)

We all went to baguio last January 9... left manila at around 4am... ate at select nlex 'til 5am then off we went...




we got there at around 9:30am i guess and wasted no time appreciating the view and the climate, although i was slightly disappointed becuase i was expecting it to be really cold...




we got to stay at this really cheap inn in which me and dennis remember very well as the place where candyaudioline also stayed when we played there december 30, 2006...
no electrical out lets, no wi-fi and worse, the bathroon is located outside of your room...




i took a brief nap and at around 2pm we all went out for a stroll... we never really get to go anywhere since no one wanted to drive the van and i had to let our driver rest since we all planned to leave at around midnight...

we went to burnham park and had lunch there... then rented a jeepney to take us to mines view and after an hour or so, we went back to the inn but i went to church before returning to the inn...







we had our dinner at andok's session road and decided to drink somewhere near the cliffs of marcos highway before heading straight home...

First Gig For 2011 At B-Side...

Hello Everyone!!!

Last night we played our first gig for 2011 at B-Side in makati... Actually singit lang kami kasi i really wanted to demo 2 new songs ("So Much Of You" and "With No Sunshine")... kaya sana 3 songs na bago (+ "Your Smiling Eyes") kung di lang sana mahahaba ito... Syempre nakakhiya naman sa lahat ng banda dun, eh singit nalang nga tapos mag-dadami pa ng kanta... syempre as usual, bitin pa rin sa amin ang four songs pero okey na rin...

oks naman yung kinalabasan pero talo talaga ang nagamit ko na amp... haay nakaka-inis... di ako tumutunog ng maayos kaya tuloy nawala ang confidence ko...

anyway, mabuti nalang at pogi ang tunog ni Dennis at ni Arjay and with Jeff playing expectedly well naka-raos kami ng masaya... yung lang di ko talaga marinig ang boses but according to Celine, the vocals were way up high in the mix... well i just have to trust them, although di ganun yung lumabas sa Camera ko... but i think Pancho was shooting us from near the stage kaya nasapawan yung boses...

at last, natugtog na rin yung 2 new song na maayos kaya i'm all smiles na rin... and at the same time yung nabili kong camera eh matino ang audio nya... Sony na Cybershot na W270... mas mababa dun sa una ko na W290 pero mas okey naman dun sa isa pa naming nabili na W330... Don't buy those W300-Series cybershots specially if your into recording videos of gigs... the sound just sucks big time although the picture quality is really good... i just wish that Sony would someday come out with something that is truly worth buying - specially those low end Cameras - for people like me who likes recording videos of concerts and small gigs...

i wish i could post some videos but i wasn't able to set the camera to record smaller sized videos. most the videos taken are about 300mb and higher... Maybe next time...

that's that for now... 'til the next post...

P.S. Yes bandmates, salbahe talaga yang "Away We Go"!!! Nice Gig!!!

Candyaudioline - So Much Of You (New Song

This was taken last night at our Practice @ Propaganda Studios in Cubao...



here's the words to this song...

It seems that i have so much to do
I want to do them with you
Exaggerating all that i feel
I know exactly i do

I just can't get you out of my mind
No matter how hard i try
There seems to be just so much of you
And i don't know waht to do...

i want to...
i need you
But i just don't know what to do...

til the next post...

How Come... ?

Hello everyone...

i've been listening to our new song tentatively called "Your Smiling Eyes" and i can safely say that this one might come out to be one of the better song we'll ever do... a bit different from the previous songs we've done... it's more dream pop than shoegaze... 2 other new songs that i'm very excited recording is the Pixies-Sounding "With No Sunshine" and my current fave, the up-beat "So Much Of You"...

can't help but feel really amazed at how an array of stomp boxes could really make you sound great... Dennis has a new stomp box which is the Boss PS2 and it has really changed his sound radically... now i can hear the notes he's doing... and at times he sound more keyboard-ish than guitar which is an added treat...

me on the otherhand is quite content with just 2 stomp boxes although at times i do use 5... the only thing i need now is to learn to use my guitar's trembar...

actually while me and Dennis was listening to a new Sunshine Factory song i began to wonder why, inspite of my being a My Bloody Valentine die-hard fan, how come none of our songs have that trademark MBV "glide guitar" sound?... maybe in the future songs to come... just maybe...

'til the next post...

Starting The Year With A New Life, A New Plan And A New Song!!!

Happy New Year To Everyone...

Saying hello to 2011... a fresh start again although i never really did had a chance to fully enjoy the "changing of the times"...

at least we were able to achieve somethng last year but it was a bit unplanned resulting in things being push too far and in the process producing unsatisfactory results... but that's all in the past and what matters is the future...

as usual there'll be no plans again for now and just like before, we'll just wait...

as of now, we have 3 new songs 2 of which we just played a few days ago at our last gig and the other one we just jammed last night... this brings the total number of fresh songs to 9... enough for and album i think... considering that most of these songs clock at five to six minutes each...

so what's there to look forward to? can't tell really... we'll just have to wait... again...
