   LIST: 2009 Mid-Year Round-Up, Part 2

   Most awaited Filipino releases for the second half of the year. As usual, this is completely and entirely personal!

   » The full length album by Us-2 Evil-0. Still no working title, as of yet. It ought to be released after singer Mich Dulce gets back from an extended stay in Europe, for her “day job” as fashion designer.

   » Tubby Trousers’ Strangers With Candy compilation. I nearly creamed my pants, after checking out the updated track listing. I hope the sound quality and mastering is up to par, though. (Unfortunately, it’s never a guarantee.)

   » ANY new recorded material by Patience, Dear Juggernaut. Wincy Ong’s tweeish solo act has possibly the most awesome name EVAR in the history of Filipino indie music. More importantly, the infectious pop melodies would make even Cain Marko smile with glee.
