PUPIL’s Next Single: My guess, my choice

Published by kitoy under Music

On New Year’s eve, we were able to catch the year end countdown of NU107. Not bad for Pupil whose carrier single “Sala” from their second album Wildlife landed No.2.

Complete list of NU107 Yearend Countdown for Year 2007.

Now I guess the band’s second carrier single would be “Monobloc.” Haven’t heard or read anything (officially) if what’s that song all about. I’ve tried digging on the search engines to find the answers but i failed to get the right answer.

For me, the song is radio-friendly, the melody is catchy ( it has the hook)the the lyrics is quite deep as well. For you to find or make your own answer, get a copy of the album. Support Pinoy Rock!

The book is published by Seven Stories Press and distributed in Canada by Publishers Group Canada, it will hit the bookstores in January. Hoping to get a copy of this one when it’ll arrive in the Philippines.

Climate change is not a myth, it’s fact. Even in our backywards, we can start mitigating climate change in our own means.

The United Nations has also declared 2008 as the International Year of the Sanitation. The UN also that 2008 is the International Year of the Potato . “The celebration of the International Year of the Potato (IYP) will raise awareness of the importance of the potato - and of agriculture in general - in addressing issues of global concern, including hunger, poverty and threats to the environment.” So should we expect more French fries meal this year round? Or the rats will feast on the potato farms? Hope they wont do that. Continue Reading »
