Three (3) shows on November 5.

A potential problem faces a punk rock kid on the 5th of November. Got some money, got some time, got some energy but will definitely have to make a choice on what show he will go to. There's 'For the Sake of the Sic 4' happening somewhere in Cavite (a carwash!) featuring some of the most brutal bands from in and out of Cavite. Next he has one of the best bands (QUEEN CITY CREW) from Cebu visiting for their "Hatebreed pre-show" happening at Center for the Arts in Quezon City. They got the Mainland Crew and some more "hard" bands playing that night. Bystorm will also be playing that show. The other show is just the next corner from Center for the Arts. Yes, its happening at Ten02 with our visitors from Australia - THE PINTS, headlining. Got a couple of punk rock bands playing that night as well as some fast ones (Rush IxDx, IxOxDx). So to the punk rocker - what do you do? Where do you go?

Currently listening to: Chain of Strength "The One Thing..."

Giants win!

Awesome win by the Giants today. J. Sanchez struggled but the Giants bullpen did the job. Wilson, who is my next favorite closer next to Papelbon, was lights out as he got the last fie outs to shut the door on the Phillies. Giants should finally be able to win it all against the Rangers.

Good stuff: BS/RID practice today. Made a new song, polished the other ones. Should be ready to record next month.

Currently listening to: Catharsis 'Samsara'

Mozzarella and Basil on a Bun.

Awesome stuff from the oft-hated corporate coffee shop. In any case, this is good stuff right here with mozzarella, tomato and basil on a thick sesame seed laden bun. Add brewed coffee and you're set.

Currently watching. Yanks at Texas for their last game of the year (!).

Good stuff: Bystorm/RxIxDx practice tomorrow. Haven't done so for almost a month. Should be a good time!

Playlist during these rainy days: Have Heart discography, Sons Of Anarchy and Chuck.

Kick-off show at Commonwealth tonight.

Just found out about this show today. Punk rawk show happening somewhere in Commonwealth Avenue. I think this will serve as the "Kick-off" for the Bad Omen Indonesian tour happening later this month. Congratulations guys! Have fun!

Currently watching: Game 4 between the Giants and Phillies.

Bigoli Goodness.

Baked ziti from Bigoli. Just discovered they serve free garlic bread. Awesome. Last Italian restaurant I know serving that was Fazoli's. Unfortunately the last surviving branch (that I know of) is located at Eastwood City in Libis. Too far.

Currently watching: Giants - Phillies rerun. Its fckd up that ESPN doesn't show the NLCS on time. By the way, those Yanks are down to their last game. Go Rangers.

Royal Town Hardcore.

Got this shirt via trade with one of the guys from Kids On The Move (I think...) when Bystorm went on tour there. You'd be surprised at how very few large shirts they have. Everyone wants to wear a size or two smaller than one would usually wear. This also goes for the big guys. Weird huh? Well, they think we're weird because we wear a size or two larger than what one would normally wear. Ha!

Currently listening to: Shelter 'Mantra'

The Pints.

Australian punk rockers from Australia 'The Pints' will be hitting the Philippine shores this November and they'll be playing two shows. The flyer for the first show is up now. Punk rock line-up!

Good stuff: Cliff Lee throwing another postseason gem against the Yanks. That guy can do no wrong (except go to NY).

Bad stuff: This f'n typhoon.

Currently watching: The Sopranos Season 3 rerun.

Earth Decay @ San Pablo City!

Here is the flyer for the upcoming Earth Decay show to be held at San Pablo City. This is starting to become an annual thing so don't miss out. Good, varied line-up too. Don't miss your chance to watch TIGER PUSSY at this show. From Agee:

Good Matinee Show!

Tame The Tikbalang does what they do best.

Finally getting my bearings back after a terrible two weeks. Aside from personal sht, our drummer in Bystorm had a terrible freak accident which sidelined him for a couple of weeks. That is the reason why we were not able to play at yesterday's show at Ten02. He'll be undergoing MRI but hopefully we'll be ok. We're going to play at the Earth Decay Fest in lieu of Rush IxDx so it looks to be promising.

Also got some Bystorm 'Kingdom' shirts for you in a different colorway. Brown ink on light brown shirt, yellow ink on dark blue shirts and black ink on dark grey shirts. I still have a couple of Feud shirts which I'll also be bringing at the San Pablo show.

The show last night was awesome. Saw a couple of new bands (the highlight being The Crimson Cartel's cover of 'Enforcer') as well as classics (Tame The Tiks), hanged out with some friends, sold some stuff. If not for the typhoon threat, we would have stayed longer. Congrats to Johner for putting up a great show! I'm really looking forward to more of these shows.

Currently listening to: Warzone 'Don't Forget The Struggle...'

Good stuff: Cliff Lee going to NY tomorrow to destroy them, Giants/Phillies NLCS

Blanks...

I'm currently in a bind right now on some deep sht and I've completely overlooked on posting here. There's some shows happening around this weekend and I hope we can really play to let off some steam most probably. Got some materials to post but been really too preoccupied. I'll post some when things clear up.

Good stuff: Chuck Season 4 Episode 1, Giants going to the NLCS.
