Otit playlist (Playlist of the Uncles)

Hello Psychos,

Your mom is back at writing. Sorry if I haven't wrote for a long time 'cause the corporate world ate me. Also, Netflix and other stuff.

Anyhow, while smoking my Marlboro Blue. I realized that I like listening to old synthpop songs while hitting the nicotine. 

So I created a playlist for my old soul readers. By the way, this isn't my uncles playlist. I just putted 'uncle' to show that these songs are almost two decade old. These are also the songs that our uncles (middle aged men) dances whenever they are drunk.

First on the list is P.S.Y's Angelina. This song was popular in the Philippines back in the 90's (as told by the boomers). I like the message of the song because it's all about reaching your dream while being young. 

Sadly, the main vocalist-Yassine Dahbi has already passed away.

This italian song was also popular back in the 90's here in the Philippines. I like this more than the remix version (which was more popular than the original version). This is Due by Raf.

Would you believe that this duo was once part of the more popular new wave band New Order? Yes, they are. The Other Two's Selfish became more popular when the House Music genre entered the scene. Click this link to listen.

and the last one is The Knack's classic My Sharona. The film Reality Bites (1994) changed the way on how I listen to this music.

Happy listening :)

Things to do when you feel Morbid

There were times when sadness came unexpectedly. Some, after you felt so happy. Oftentimes, when you’re just bored on a lazy afternoon. Whether you feel good (for some people) or bad about it. These cult classics will make you feel you’re not alone on your black parade.

Watch

Garden State (2004)

Directed by the lead actor itself, Zach Braff plays a role of a dysfunctional guy who's coming back to his hometown in New Jersey for his mother’s funeral.

Elizabethtown (2005)

An underrated film about loss, reject, and joy of contentment.

Listen

 The Shins- New Slang

      OST of Motion Picture ‘Garden State’, this song is very deep for its usage of figures of speech.

A lullaby-like song when you just want to get away from the everything

Gregory Alan Isokov- If I go, I’m going

Perfect for night quiet driving

MUSIC: HONNE- Good Together

Thanks to my classmate (I think he's Juancho) at my Visual Communication class for playing this in the room while we're at class break. I've been listening to this un-mainstreamed British electro pop duo from time to time whenever I feel good.

Come listen to them, young folks. I won’t fail you.

Music: The Killers- Shot at the Night

I've known The Killers for several years, some of my favorite songs of them were 'Mr. Brightside' wherein it looks like the music video was inspired from a classic novel and  'Smile like you mean It' (Madeon Remix).

But take a look at this one fellas, this video will surely relive all those butterflies in your stomach. This is my type of romance :)

Trivia: Did you know that The Killers got their band name from the name of the fictional band in New Order's 2001 Crystal video.

Jason's Playlist: Lullabies-sleeping playlist

Hello guys I'm back again! First thing's first, I would like to apologize about my paasa post of my Zambales trip cause as soon as the school starts again from the holiday vacation, my college profs started to recognize us again as robots not their student; I'm so busy these days. But I would eventually post it some time or maybe after Finals or whenever I have a spare time because Finals is fastly approaching so it means to say 'da realest busy days are comin'.

As a peace offering, I listed here the songs that would totally make you cozy and sleepy. Songs that would not make you leave an eargasm while you're trying to count sheep so that you can totally hit the sack.

 1. Save Tonight- Eagle eye cherry

  As far as I know, this song was part of the Notting Hill OST.

2. The Freshmen- The Verve Pipe

This song reminds me of Innocence and my first day of school as a college freshman.

3. Boston- Augustana

Sounds like a real lullaby for the babies.

4. New York- Snow Patrol

  

   

5. New Slang- The Shins

Garden State OST

6. Crash into me- Dave Matthew's Band

Last but not the least, this is my favorite song whenever I feel comfortable, cozy, just want to lay down on my bed, mixed emotions. This song will never go out of style!

  Hope you like these songs I enlisted for y'all. Do you have any song suggestions? Let me know! comment below.

sweet dreams, xx
