Foreign Rock Music

So I while I was trying to do my final sociology paper a week ago, I was reading through one of the articles I was planning on using and it was basically about how youth can take one object or idea (ie. rock music) and interpret it differently. It started talking about Korean rock, Russian rock...which got me interested...I'm Filipino but rarely ever listen to Filipino music. I've tried listening to the Eraserheads before ("the" Filipino rock band in the 90s) but they weren't my cup of tea..I've recently started listening to them again and have suddenly grown to appreciate their music (notable English songs include "With a Smile" and "Torpedo").

Anyway, while I was in the process of listening to some Filipino rock, I came across this band called Sandwich. Interestingly enough, the frontman of the band was the former drummer for the Eraserheads. I think they absolutely rock. I didn't really understand all their songs right away but I love their sound. Here's some of their videos..the first one is the only English one I could find but the others are worth checking out.

"DVD-X"

Chorus: Everything you're looking for/Everything is here.

"Sugod" ("Let's Go")

Sketchy translation:

Come on, my friends!

We're all close together

Wave the flag

Rock-and-roll until the morning

You've texted Shaun and Jhopet

Put gel on a new haircut

Bring out your fancy shoes

???(Hanep pumorma)???

No one will argue!

Chorus:

Been saving money for this for one week

Been waiting for this for one month

The feedback from the guitars

Your favourite songs

Chorus

Tonight we'll have fun

We'll watch the bands

Dance like wild dogs

to the beating of the drums

"Walang Kadala-dala" ("Nothing Learned")

Next up: French rock :D

OMG...I remember seeing that video to "Perfekte Welle" (I think you were the one who posted the video before)...I LOVE that song!

Revolverheld for some reasons reminds me of Nickelback/Three Days Grace. That Mia song's pretty catchy.

I keep hearing about Rammstein but I don't think I've actually ever heard their songs. Are they heavy metal/hard rock?

So, I came across this French band thanks to my French instructor last year. They're called Mickey 3D and they've quickly become one of my favourite bands out there. I was lucky enough to find their most recent album Matador here in Canada.

"Yalil" - Mickey 3D

"Matador" - Mickey 3D

My computer's being a pain so I'll post some more videos later.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
