I dunno what happened, but suddenly my week ahead is now kind of a busy one. I was planning 2010 to be a pretty lazy year, doing nothing while I sit on a recliner couch eating potato chips dipped in lard as I watch Glee and fap off to that girl who plays Quinn, you know? But apparently it’s just month numero dos and I’m already neck-deep in work. Not that I’m complaining – HI BOSS! *grins and waves stupidly*

In fact, I’m actually enjoying the influx of things to work on for a change. Of course by the weekend rolls around, I’ll be dead tired, but I guess that’ll be a small price to pay for all the productive shit I’ll do.

Case in point: I’m playing session bass for two new bands right now, The Strangeness and Don’t Bogart The Can… Man! and I pretty much have a full plate this week because these two bands, along with Lose Your Beer Belly will have gigs this week! (more…)

I Refuse to do Shamless Promotions on my Blog- GUYS PLEASE VOTE FOR MY BAND THANKS

18 Aug


Thanks to Eboy for this!

You all know that I have this pretty awesome band called Lose Your Beer Belly, right? And you also are aware that I still don’t know why a bunch of talented and awesome musicians are letting some untalented hack hang out with them in the first place.

So I entered the band in this online battle of the bands around a few weeks ago, which resulted in screams of panic from my bandmates. We practically had no idea what to do, or what’ll happen. Also, I chose to send in the video where I looked kind of like a bloated barnacle.

So fast forward to last Friday. I opened my RSS Reader and I found out that we actually got in the semifinals. Now this is where things went crazy. You know that I have this dream to become a rockstar right? I mean, to quit the cozy, comfortable, assured corporate life and to trade it for the hazy, shitty, constantly near-poverty life of a rock star. (more…)

It seemed like a really good idea at the time: the Vibra-Finger Gum Massager

My Songwriting Skills Need Work

25 May

Every weekend, my bandmates and I meet up in one of those coffee shops scattered in the metro. Aside from playing Gino Padilla’s “Closer You And I” ad nauseam, we also try to write songs.

My bandmates, in my opinion, are badass songwriters. They can take one mundane situation like “I was about to cross the road when this jeepney stops in front of me and wouldn’t let me pass; the driver parked there for a good two minutes, blocking my way, until he realized that I wasn’t going to ride his stupid jeepney” into a pretty tight song:

(Don’t mind the stupid-looking bassist, k?) (more…)

In This Entry Ade Discovers That Beer And Headaches Do Not Mix

15 Sep

Last Saturday I went to Kublai’s Katipunan for my band’s gig, all hyped up and ready to rock. But with one major problem: I had a splitting headache. You see, I haven’t been getting enough sleep as of late because I like to stay up late and download all sorts of porn. But yeah, let’s stay on topic: porn. No, wait. I meant sleep deprivation.

So it was pretty obvious I can’t really rock out if my head feels like it was going to be split in two because of the pain. I just wanted to just finish the set and go home (and wank off) because of the goddamn migraine. But yeah, I wanted to rock off, right? So I just had to find a cure. I mean, what’s the perfect cure?

beer

And there’s no better way to get rid of a headache than beer.

The Bass That Blogging Bought

11 Aug

As you all know, I’m a bassist. A really lousy one, but whatev. So anyway, for the longest time I’ve been borrowing bass guitars left and right mainly because my old bass hasn’t really been usable.


It’s really hard to play the riff of “Come Together” with this.
 

If you remember, way back in January, I wished for a new bass. (more…)

TMB Presents The Banana Gangbang Rock Festival: HOLY CRAP IT WAS AWESOMETASTIC.

5 May

On May 3, 2008, the retarded boys of The Man Blog finally held its highly-anticipated concert, the first-ever Banana Gangbang Rock Festival at Bela Bar in Greenhills. Featuring bands from the members of TMB, it was an awesome night full of face-melting rock and golden beer. Lots of it.

More pictures after the jump. (more…)
