First a confession: I never understood the music of Sonic Youth. I don’t dislike them — if they ever reunite and decide to come to Manila, I would most likely watch.

There’s got to be something destabilizing about handling vocal duties in the German rock group Can. When two of your singers — Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki — quit after a few years to seek either psychiatric treatment (in Mooney’s case) or religion (Suzuki became a Jehovah’s Witness), you know that’s some powerful mojo going on.

It’s hard to believe, but once upon a time, I would have gladly waded through crowds and smoke and punk paraphernalia – just to see bands perform live.

This was about 1988-1992, that pivotal crest in history when the ’80s rose to a peak and crashed headlong into the ’90s.

Are Versus merely the best Pinoy band playing on US shores? Or are they something even better?

With their newest release, Hurrah, New York’s Versus (consisting of three Filipinos – Patrick Ramos, brothers Richard and James Baluyut – and bassist/singer Fontaine Toups) lasso some of their best punk impulses to craft their poppiest album yet. Strangely, the world has not yet stopped turning.
