The Anti-Claus is coming to town
by Luis Katigbak - December 19, 2014 - 12:00am

Revenge of the Indispensables
by Luis Katigbak - November 28, 2014 - 12:00am
Rumors of the death of the album as an art form have been circulating for a long time, at least as far back as 2000, when Spin magazine declared their Album of the Year as “Your Hard Drive.”
The long and the short of it
by Luis Katigbak - November 21, 2014 - 12:00am
It used to be all about the album. Not so long ago, if you were a musical artist, people didn’t really know what to make of you until you released your debut full-length. Now, in a world of downloads and streaming...
Nobody wants to be everybody
by Luis Katigbak - November 14, 2014 - 12:00am
We like to believe that we are the sum total of our choices. Perhaps the idea gives us a sense of control, of having a deliberate shape to our lives. This belief is adhered to most fervently when it comes to the...
Buti na lang...
by Luis Katigbak - September 12, 2014 - 12:00am
By the time we broke the news, we had been keeping it secret for months: New music. By the Eraserheads. In our magazine.
By the numbers
by Luis Katigbak - August 22, 2014 - 12:00am
If you love music — and if you don’t, then get the hell out of here — then starting your own independent record label seems like an incredibly cool thing to do.
Setting the scene
by Luis Katigbak - June 27, 2014 - 12:00am
One night, 20-plus bands, and free booze: it sounds like the left side of an equation scribbled by someone solving for either “epic night out” or “apocalyptic hangover.” It is also a fairly...
Ransom notes
by Luis Katigbak - June 20, 2014 - 12:00am
Sometimes, when listening to a new band, you listen while bracing yourself for disappointment: a song can start off well enough, but squander its potential, fail to achieve flight with the chorus, or betray you with...
Summer writing
by Luis Katigbak - June 6, 2014 - 12:00am
When I think of my past summers, I realize that the most significant ones did not involve summer romances, but summer workshops—specifically, in my case, writing workshops. (Not that one precludes the other;...
Attack on memory
by Luis Katigbak - May 30, 2014 - 12:00am
There are some gigs that you never forget. Something about the live, sweaty immediacy of being there — standing in the same space as a new favorite or old beloved band — seals itself in your brain, rewires...
The sweetest jam
by Luis Katigbak - May 30, 2014 - 12:00am
What is the purpose of music? If someone asked me that outright, I would feel like doing several things, one after the other: shaking my head, sighing, and, ultimately, ignoring the question altogether. Music needs...
120 days of summer
by Luis Katigbak - April 11, 2014 - 12:00am
Summer has arrived, heralded by the preposterous heat and the sight of my female co-workers (and Jerome) in shorts.
The burning question
by Luis Katigbak - March 7, 2014 - 12:00am
Lots of people date for years or have long engagements before getting married.
Good vibrations
by Luis Katigbak - February 28, 2014 - 12:00am
I’ve never experienced anything like Malasimbo. It is truly unique, it’s an adventure.
A fantastic four
by Luis Katigbak - February 14, 2014 - 12:00am
I’m writing this on the eve of the first night of FebFest 2014, but by the time you read it, Warpaint and Mogwai will have already played—and, presumably, rocked our heads off—and we’ll be...
Behaving badly
by Luis Katigbak - February 7, 2014 - 12:00am
Creators are monsters. If you’ve been online in the past couple of weeks and you are at all interested in films or the Hollywood-famous, you’ve probably already read the unsettling open letter written...
‘It’s like watching a horror movie’
by Luis Katigbak - January 24, 2014 - 12:00am
