“How Far We’ve Come” DVD/T-Shirt Bundle

September 12th, 2007 by Elizar

Matchbox Twenty
I want one! I tried burning spending some more blog money on Matchbox Twenty’s newest album. The CD will be officially released October 2, and I would want to pre-order mine.

Went to their official website and checkout their Men’s DVD Bundles, and was so glad that the store allows Paypal payment. But when I was about to pay, the site prompted that the shipping address must be the same as my paypal address!

Darn it!

My paypal’s address is in Singapore and I put my brother’s NY address as the shipping.. Too bad..

Here’s what I’m going to do… I’m going to ask my bro to create an account, send some fund and then I’ll use that paypal to order the CD! Pretty smart eh? :)

Adding Lyrics To Your Songs On Your iPod

September 2nd, 2007 by Elizar

This is just an example of stuff you will want to know if you stumble upon it. I recently downloaded some new John Lennon MP3s (well, it’s old but its my first copy, so in my case, its new) then i saw that there are lyrics in it! Cool! See how an iPod virgin I am?

So, If you like to sing along with your tunes, you can display song lyrics right on the screen of a supported iPod. This includes:

  • iPod nano
  • Fifth Generation iPod

Entering lyrics

  1. In iTunes 5 or later, select a favorite song.
  2. From the File menu, choose Get Info.
  3. Click Lyrics, then enter the words to the song in the text box.
  4. Click OK when finished.
  5. Copy the song to iPod.

Viewing lyrics

If you’ve entered song lyrics, you can view them at any time in iTunes 5 or later. Just select the song, Get Info for the song, and then click Lyrics. If you want to view them on iPod, do

  1. On iPod, start playing any song to which you’ve added lyrics.
  2. Press the Center button repeatedly. The number of times depends on if you have artwork or not. Here’s the order of things when you press the Center button:

    Play status > Scrubber > Album Art > Lyrics/Description > Rating

    If you don’t have Album Art or Lyrics, then you’ll just see the Rating

    Play status > Scrubber > Rating

Lyrics should display correctly in most languages. If they do not, try removing any special characters in the Lyrics pane in iTunes, copy the song back to iPod, and try again.

Tutorial taken from Apple support site … so if this doesn’t work to you, blame them.. :) — it works for me anyway, so that’s a little assurance. :)

Exile From Mainstream - How Far We’ve Come

September 1st, 2007 by Elizar

I just received a notification email from the greatest rock band of all (for Eli), that they will be releasing they 4rth CD this October 2nd!

**crowd cheering, applauding**

Go Matchbox Twenty!

The CD, “Exile From Mainstream” is some sort of greatest hits album. This 2-disc album features many of their top hits, plus 6 new tracks, including the hit single “How Far We’ve Come”.

I really thought the band went their separate ways a few years back. Though there are no official announcement, I can feel that that’s the only way they will go since Rob Thomas released his solo album Something To Be in 2005.

I am so glad I was wrong. And so, here comes Matchbox Twenty’s highly anticipated and long awaited Greatest Hits album, Exile on Mainstream, hits shelves on October 2nd.

Just can’t wait until October 2 for your MATCHBOX TWENTY fix? Then be sure to tune in to VH1’s Top 20 Countdown to see “How Far We’ve Come”! Or you can check out Matchbox Twenty’s YuTube Channel. You can also see the video on the band’s website and Myspace page after the premiere!

I will surely get a copy of this CD.. Most definitely!

A Hard Day’s Night

March 19th, 2007 by Elizar

Good news to all Beatles fans out there! Remember my ‘Let It Be’ post? I found that one night while looking for some John Lennon interviews. I found the full length Beatles movie instead.

Well, the good new is, I found the full movie of their first movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”….

Few facts about the movie:

  • The people chasing The Beatles into the train at the beginning of the film are real fans.
  • The movie’s working title was simply “The Beatles”.
  • The title song was written after the movie was filmed.
  • A young Phil Collins can be seen in the audience at the television theatre. He’s wearing glasses.
  • Once “A Hard Day’s Night” was confirmed as the movie’s title, John Lennon (with help from Paul McCartney) composed the song that same night, playing it the next morning to producer Walter Shenson in their dressing room.

Nalulungkot Ako

February 12th, 2007 by Elizar

nalulungkot ako di dahil sa ako pinag reply ni Rachel sa email ni Bezella, tungkol sa enhancement ng Skypage namin, ayun ako tuloy ang primaring gagawa..pero para saming lahat naman un…;) … or nalulungkot ako di dahil sa kailangan kong i-replicate ung server para ma-test ung feature na pinapagawa ni Andy… Di rin dahil ung EPCI na nagfollow-up kay Rachel eh, ifo-follow-up ko rin (oooppps, di ko na followup.. nyayayaya!!) Di rin ako nalulungkot dahil may request sa ‘kin ung isang developer sa server nila…

Malungkot ako, dahil nakikinig ako ngayon ng Ultraelectromageneticpop, and unang CD ng Eraserheads..

ultraelectromagneticpop

Ang galing ni Ely sa pagkanta nya dun… ‘Tindahan ni aling nena parang isang kwentong pampelikula ha…’… Wala namang debata na di sya ganon kahusay kumanta pero yung orihinal na kalidad ng boses nya… iba eh.. may distinction, ika nga… saka iba ang dating nya sa mga masang people eh..

Ngayon, when I see Ely.. ngayon pala, pag nakikita ko si Ely sa tapat, iniisip ko sayang talaga ang grupo nila… Minsan nakausap ko si Raymond (Marasigan) sa isang mall tour ng Sandwich, tinanong ko sa kanya kung magkakabalikan pa ba ang e’head.. sabi nya, ‘oo’.. tapos bigla syang tumawa… “di na pare, wala na un”.. kakalungkot talaga..

Bakit nga ba natibag ang grupong e’heads? Meron din bang Yoko Ono na nakapaligid sa kanila.. Or meron din bang miyembro na nagnais na maging lider tulad ni Paul McCartney?…

Ayon kay Ely — “Out of control na yung business matters, e.”.. (so business pala.. siguro nga.. tulad din ng sa Beatles)

Basta, umaasa pa rin ako na magkakabalikan sila.. bow…

Yun muna… 5:33pm na.. lapit na umuwi.. :)
