Good day everyone. This is Captain Monday speaking. In behalf of the whole crew of five working days of the week, I would like to welcome you aboard a sluggish week. For the whole course of the week, we expect to experience some mild turbulence that may transgress into a massive storm. Please fasten your seatbelt and stay safe. Despite this disappointing announcement, we hope you enjoy your flight care of our music for today from The Chainsmokers.
Bastille's Flaws
The Colourist's Fix This
NONONO's Pumpin Blood
BANKS' Change
It's a hot jolly Friday in the tropics and we're having Joywave today.
Joywave's Tongues
RAC's remix
The Hood's remix
Some of their latest release. I really like this Now song. I like it more than Tongues. Somebody New is a combination Smashing Pumpkins-esque, Keane-ish sounding song.
Now
In Clover
Somebody New
Who ate the world? Jimmy.
Today's playlist features Argonaut&Wasp. I was listening to my feed when I stumbled upon a pazazz-ed rendition of Jimmy Eat World's It Just Takes Some Time by Argonaut&Wasp.
Their single In The Drown caught my attention with its resemblance to Jai Paul's music. Though they are not as dark and hard hitting, their music also runs from slow beats and then advancing into an upbeat progressive rock. Nice touch with the guitar solo too.

I'm really surprised they don't have a big following. I mean, they're totally great!
Maybe they can be experimental but I find that amusing.
I find their songs very usable for western-y film or a travelling documentary. I wish they made more music videos.
Hey! Today's playlist is purely biased over Oliver Nelson. I've come to like his mixes very well. I might actually like his more than RAC's.
Mikky Ekko's Kids
Janelle Monae's Tightrope
Viceroy's and Ghost Beach's While We're In Love
MNDR's Feed Me Diamonds
Bon Iver's Minnesota
Kim Cesarion's Undressed
I really dig his logo, by the way.
Lastly, Bon Iver's Towers
It's a Friday and I thought, why not start the morning by re-watching American Psycho. Of Course, I didn't do that.
Today's looking a little mixed. I don't know. I'm usually belligerent on people bumping into other people, commuters who don't know how to say excuse me or sorry, and just plain nasty folks who don't respect others. However, today, I'm feeling passive. I'm letting everyone pass.
Earned and learned a lot this week. Disappointments, and coping with that. Silent fights with friends, and haggling for consideration and amendment. Proposing and receiving good promises, and dealing with the failure of achieving these. Happy surprises, and containing the feelings. These past two weeks has been a gust of whirlwind which may be a sign for a cool and gentle breeze or a sign for a disastrous terrible storm. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm letting everything pass for now.
Flow.
Sharing some tracks from my soundcloud feed.
The Wants' Beast.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines' Autm(n)atic.
Another one from STVatG. Still Awake at Sunrise.
They sound a little like Mogwai or Emancipator.
I feel like I'm in a trance, living and breathing but still unaware of whatnots. Empty? Or maybe it's just I don't want to care today. Maybe. Maybe no fucks will be given today.
St. Lucia's Elevate.
What's with saints today? Maybe divine intervention is needed today. I'm getting a Depeche Mode vibe with St. Lucia.
Please enjoy and hope you have a great weekend.
Also, a friend of mine back in the university did upload a track and I wanted to share it here.
Weather is getting warmer by the minute. Did I mention the humidity? I have started wearing them short shorts again. The other day, although I usually wear a rash guard at gym, I wore a cropped top.
Damn, I was just getting myself accustomed to new things at work this morning when I stumbled upon this blog entry. Damn, I need to work harder at the gym. I thought she'll be the typical pretty skinny girl model but no, she really does work it out. That girl is an inspiration. Renewed my gym membership since it expired a week ago. Cheers to more active and nonstop workouts.
Today's looking promising. Here, I present to you an equally bright and promising artist, Ta-ku.
Ta-ku's upbeat break up song, I Miss You.
Ta-ku's take on Justin Timberlake's Suit & Tie.
And another Remix. Ginger & The Ghost's One Type of Dark.
with NeonHitch!
Sorry, that was lame.
Lazy day whereas the author of this blog is begrudgingly and reluctantly listening to NeonHitch for no particular reason. At lease it is not Miley Cyrus!
It's catchy! Don't blame me. I get a MIA vibes from them too. I am so sorry! I promise to bawl out better sounding music next time.
Coldplay, a few days ago did give us Magic.
Besides from Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay is one of the bands I've been listening to since I was 8 or 9 years old.
Yesterday was an improvement! No big events but hey, at least yesterday wasn't as bad as Tuesday. Tuesday was just a day of hell.
Don't Panic - still my favorite from Coldplay up to this day
Coldplay always has this melancholy, serene but at the same time disruptive (in the most graceful manner) songs. It's like I want to listen to their songs to make myself feel better but at the end of the day, I tend to feel even worse. Well, I think they have differentiated from their original sound before but yeah, there's that lyrics that just begs to be sad about. Their songs are about waiting, wailing, losing, forgiving - realities you don't want to find yourself into but you actually do. Their songs are just there as an unforgivably depressing starlight in your dark days. Phew. Nevertheless, I enjoy listening to the lightheartedness and warmth of their songs, especially Chris Martin's voice.
Anyway, skimming through Chris Martin's discography and biography, wow. Didn't know he stood around 6'2"! He's tall. Thought he was around 5'11".
Here's a list of my favorite songs from each album.
- Parachutes
- Don't Panic
- Spies
- Yellow
- A Rush of Blood to the Head
- Amsterdam
- In My Place
- X&Y
- Talk
- Speed of Sound
- Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
- Viva la Vida
- Lovers in Japan
- Strawberry Swing
- Mylo Xyloto
- Paradise
- Charlie Brown
Can't wait for their album this May. I really think they're one of the most hardworking bands ever.
Here's Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory Remix from Porter Robinson. Not a party gal but I enjoy listening to upbeat music when I clean or do things.
I'm really liking Suki Waterhouse. She's gorgeous and was gorgeous last Oscars too.
When I'm busy checking out stuff at and outside work, I listen to more subtly mixed party songs. Not a chill song. Just an okay song to party with.
Here's Thomas Jack's remix of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
Anyway, yesterday was a little bland. Went to work. Worked. Train ride home. Bought books. Treated mom to dinner. Went home to bunk down. Hope today is not so so-so.
What's with the 100 days of happiness posts at instagram? Don't know what it's all about but if it makes people smile, why not.
Booked a flight to Cagayan De Oro. Didn't tell anyone yet (which I am doing now) but heck, can't wait.
Also, listening to this song is a breath of fresh air.
