Trash Radio Manila Episode 11 Part 2: Punk Ba 'To?

Huy!

Things are getting a bit busy at our end. But we do have this wonderful playlist to keep you company during the midweek.

1. THE MARS VOLTA - "Wax Simulacra"
2. ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION with Chuck D. - "Black Steel (in the Hour of Chaos)"
3. HELMET and HOUSE OF PAIN - "Just Another Victim"
4. BODY COUNT - "Body Count's in the House"
5. SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - "Join the Army"
6. BANE - "What Holds Us Down"
7. CAUSE FOR ALARM - "Hole We Live In"

Now if you guys are up to some metaphysical stuff, I would like to direct you to an article I read over at The Mars Volta's website which detailed how their latest album The Bedlam In Goliath came into being. "Wax Simulacra", the first track on our playlist, comes from the said album, whose genesis happens to be "one of the weirdest in the history of modern music", as the said article asserts in earnest.

If, on the other hand, the metaphysical isn't your thing, or patience is simply not one of your best virtues, then just groove along with the rest of our playlist which includes Asian Dub Foundation, Helmet & House Of Pain, Body Count, Suicidal Tendencies, Bane, and Cause For Alarm. It's a great playlist. Promise. :)

Trash Radio Manila Episode 5 Part 2: How About Some Tuna?

Happy Valentines Day, you love-struck (and love-phobic) denizens!

By this time we suppose you've already found someone to spend Valentines Day with. But even if you haven't found anyone, or simply chose not to spend the day with anybody, allow us to provide you with a set of songs that depict the four-letter abstraction in its numerous forms.

For the first song off this segment, hear the charismatic Suggs do a convincing cover of Morrissey's obsessive "Suedehead." Then listen to the Marine Girls, Tracey Thorn's first band, as they sing a cut off the Beach Party album, "Fridays."

"Dreams And Desires" features Stiv Bators doing a narrative that can scare an unsuspecting Catholic girl off her wits, while "Never Talking To You Again" depicts the retaliation of a scorned ego. Meanwhile, Annabella Lwin gamely illustrates how a woman achieved orgasmic heights in "Sexy Eiffel Towers."

More cariño brutal follows with songs from Suicidal Tendencies and Blood For Blood. The segment is capped with Flogging Molly singing about ending up with "The Wrong Company."

This segment's playlist:

1. SUGGS - "Suedehead" (Live)
2. MARINE GIRLS - "Fridays"
3. LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH - "Dreams and Desires"
4. HUSKER DU - "Never Talking To You Again"
5. BOW WOW WOW - "Sexy Eiffel Towers"
6. SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - "Won't Fall In Love Today"
7. BLOOD FOR BLOOD - "So Common, So Cheap"
8. FLOGGING MOLLY - "The Wrong Company"

More tuna coming up in the next few days, so stay tuned. Meow!
