Why the internet is awesome: You meet people like PJ whose drive and passion for art makes me feel like a total slacker. He just sent me this lovely Henri Cartier-Bresson postcard. He’s one of my all-time favorite photographers (and most likely everyone else’s too. I mean, why not?). Thank you, PJ!
Why I suck: I owe mail to so many of you and I’m sorry! I’ve been so caught up with work (and blah blah blah), but I promise to swing by the post office tomorrow to send out the first batch of postcards and vinyls. I have to do them in batches because I ran out of postcards! :| Zet suuuuucks, man.

The Strangeness - Naglalakbay
(Juan de la Cruz Band cover)Another experiment in home recording. Also, it’s something a little bit different than what we’re used to, but it’s all good. Harmonicas, acoustic guitars, twang. A psychedelic alt-country arrangement of arguably one of the best Filipino rock songs of all time.
Respect.
ANG GANDA.
