Pinoy Bandwagon

A Better Year….!!!

NU 107 lived up (again!) to its rep as the most pinoy band-friendly station by placing 69 (!) OPM band songs in this year’s Countdown 107. This much awaited year-ender special, this time dished out by Pontree, Mallory, Shannon, Francis Brew, Bo Bomeister and finally, all the rock jocks (except Andy And Russ, hmmm), is always a treat to all PB fans. The top 10 songs this year are all OPM, led by this year’s Best New Artist at the Rock Awards, UP DHARMA DOWN… their song, Pag-agos, clinched the top spot, edging perennial #1, Kamikazee’s Narda.

hmmm, 99.5 RT is reformatting beginning Jan. 1, 2007…

their teasers poke fun at other radio stations and, funnily enough, i find them irrititatingly cute… (",)

Vote "hit"? Hit 99.5????? Oh, please…

bad news, though… RT100 might be a goner, too….

i think another reformatting station by the new year is KLite 103.5.. no inkling, though… just "a new sound is coming"….  hmmm…

No. This is not Protein Shake’s follow-up to their quasi-tribute song, Pacman.

This is the TITLE of the 7th HARRY POTTER BOOK!

Just got so excited, have to put it here….  (",)
