bebot

that's the title of one of the songs in 'monkey business,' black-eyed peas' latest album. a good friend (thanks, rod) gave me a copy and it has been playing semi-non-stop in my itunes since last week.

track 12 is bebot. it's an all-tagalog (filipino?) song by apl. it's a nice, catchy song. i hope they release it as a single someday so we pinoys can bombard mtv's trl so they can play it incessantly. we can dream big, can't we?

i admire apl for infusing his filipino-ness to his group's albums. the apl song from their last album elephunk was quite good, too. there, he paid tribute to asin, a band that he said he listened to when he was growing up in pampanga.

i wish i knew how my friend does it in his blog, so you could also listen to music files here.

hi moms!

i use a program called swift mp3, and it's very easy to use. i had to pay $25 for it, but it's money well spent. i've long wanted a music blog, but i didn't want to post downloadable mp3s.

anyway, i also have the new black eyed peas cd. bebot's awesome, i love the chorus. "gone going" is also okay, featuring jack johnson and sampling his song "gone, gone, gone". nice.

did the apl song get airplay in mainstream radio there?
