FrancisM shared the first track of his forthcoming album in his Multiply account but deleted it (or made it private) after a couple of days. But before taking down the song, I was able to get a copy.
The song is a remake of a Clash original and FrancisM’s version is a rocker! It’s great to hear a new song from FrancisM after a long while. He hasn’t lost his touch and I’m very much looking forward to his F-Word album.

I dunno if I will make any sense to anyone in this post. I’m doing it anyway.I’ve been struck twice today. By 2 distinct memories I mean. First by a nationalistic sense, now by faith. Stimuli from literature news and music =) Ahh, my senses are really sensitive to such.
Here I feature the simple short song, Majesty , that I just stumbled on again while I was browsing for gospel songs. It is not my favorite, but it is one of the good ones. The part I love most about faith and fellowship has always been the music. I posted about this before, though less directly, when I put up the Maranatha singers’ interpretetion of the You are my refuge. I love the praise and worship songs when sung in congregation. It is just wonderful! And I have to say it is the only other time (apart from really really good music concerts that drive me insane) I swear my hands smell and feel differently from all the clapping I do. I’m talking about the intense energy that builds up when you sing praises. It’s another euphoria altogether with worship songs.
I first learned Majesty in Sunday school as a child. It was one of the worship songs that was sung softly as a prayer. The sweet melodies of worship songs always make me feel at peace and closer to the Lord. Sandi Patti also has a version (hitting all those glass-breaking notes). I mentioned before that I grew up listening and learning children’s gospel songs from tapes. As a young adult I continued to listen to songs by Kelly Willard, one of my favorite gospel singers of the day. I listened to her album on Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs over and over. I remember performing once for an audience of Baptists as a 12-year old.
This is the first time I heard Majesty in slow rock, performed here by Caedmon’s Call. (Thanks Jie for the link, I finally downloaded the songs after a year!)
Majesty/Worship His majesty/Unto Jesus/Be all glory, honor and praise/Majesty/Kingdom authority/Flow from His throne
Unto His own/His anthem raise

Majesty/Worship His majesty/Jesus who died/Now glorified/King of all kings
So exalt/Lift up on high/The name of Jesus/Magnify/Come glorify/Christ Jesus the King

Like I said it is short.. simple.. humble. A quick reminder of faith.

One of our usual list-scribbling…

I?ve been itching to buy my portable mp3 player since last year. I?ve browsed TipidPC?s site for possible options and found 2-3 good offers. 256mb is good enough for me. I?m not after the capacity anymore as I don?t load up my playlist with lots of songs anyway. I just want to listen to my weekly podcasts during my travel to and from work.
I?m currently subscribed to TWiT and Diggnation?s weekly tech podcast. Both show are an offshoot of the now defunct TV show Call for Help popularized by Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton. This is my way to be updated with the current tech happenings around the world. And this is my reason why I wanted to have an mp3 player more than having to listen to mp3 songs.
So there, hopefully I will be able to buy one before April ends. I just need an extra money to fund my gadgets.

Haven’t confirmed this yet, but the buzz word is that a compilation album E-heads songs will be covered by various OPM artists. I was able to snatch a list:
With A Smile - South Border
Ligaya - Kitchie Nadal
Overdrive - Barbie Almalbis
Huwag Mo Nang Itanong - MYMP
Magasin - Paolo Santos
Alkohol - Radio Active Sago Project
Torpedo - Isha
Spoliarium - Imago
Hard To Believe - Cueshe
Maling Akala - Brownman Revival
Superproxy - FrancisM
Alapaap - 6Cyclemind
Pare ko - Sponge Cola
Ang Huling El Bimbo - Rico J. Puno
Tikman Ang Langit - Sugarfree
Huwag Kang Matakot - Orange & Lemons
Para Sa Masa - All Star
WTF are they thinking and letting Cueshe join the tribute?! Rico J. shouldn’t also be on the list. He’s a little odd (or old for that matter) in the lineup.
Expected release date is on the 29th of Nov. I’ll let you know when I get one.
*forgot to tell, I already have the superproxy track sung by kiko*

Been listening to Itchyworms’ new concept themed album - Noon Time Show.
Tracks are catchy and great. Special mention to “Akin ka na lang” and “Buwan”. I’ve uploaded the two tracks on the server. I hope the Worms won’t mind.
