Alarm - tentative lyrics
I lose scraps of paper that I write notes on. Writing on a table napkin while having lunch doesn't work for me either. It's highly likely I'll forget about it and it ends up forgotten in the laundry bin inside my jeans pocket. To eventually end up as a wad of pulp.
Better to record works in progress in the cloud that is the internet. You can't lose it once it's posted. Unless you intentionally delete it. That or a terrorist nuclear attack annihilates the city block and the data center where this site is hosted.
Laundry detergent is a very real creative inhibitor, believe me....
Curtains and trims
I can’t get rid of the Curtains and Trims jingle from head. It’s been playing on loop mode. If you’re from Cebu, you know this jingle and you understand how annoying it gets. They should use it in Guantanamo Bay since waterboarding is no longer an option for them there. Not as violent but just as effective. Prisoners will tell all or beg to be killed and be spared from such a torturous never ending audio loop. Or they might suffer permanent brain damage, whichever comes first.
Post Sonic Boom
We didn’t stop to rest after Sonic Boom because we had to drive straight to the airport for our return flight to Cebu. The exhaustion finally caught up with us after the check-in ritual. After finishing a styrofoam bowl of the most expensive Lucky Me instant noodles at P89, all three of us ambled towards the lounge area near our gate, laid down and promptly slept. Or at least tried to.
The booze and the rush of the performance blurred my memory of the gig. I remembered the set though -- Lemerson, Maude, Everyday Drive, then we closed with Quick to Panic. Someone held up a sign...
Fifth album?
Looking back and with some amusement, I realized that every next album took us one year longer to release! If we follow the logic then, we'd have to release an album this year, dang!
We'll be off the mark on this one.
