Hey, Fil-Ams: Please be better. (Review: Jo Koy In His Elements)

This is about Jo Koy’s new Netflix special, Jo Koy: In His Elements. 55 minutes of tone-deaf, cultural imperialism.

When you think “Filipino” – do you think adobo, karaoke, breakdancing, hip-hop, and nurses? Cause this show has them all. The Filipino Starter Pack (or to be more precise, the Fil-Am Starter Pack). Is this rude to say out loud?

Music On Shuffle

God Is An Astronaut generally makes me feel a lot of things--mainly rooted in my love for how stories (or the possibilities of stories) are embedded in their music (which can essentially be said for most of the music I listen to). But there is something about the build-up of this particular track that makes me feel like I could accept this idea of running a really long marathon through a meadow despite knowing that mid-way through my run, a strange creature will pop-up somewhere and give me a heart attack. As a track, it's pleasant; but at the same time there's this weird eerie aura behind it all, like someone will eventually chase me and I'll die while listening to this. But I keep listening to it anyway.

Listen With Me: Behind The Devil's Back

There is something about the return of an old favourite, a band that took a hiatus at a time when I felt I too needed a hiatus from music. I've been anticipating their return ever since they did a 10-year tour and announced a new album. So this post is mostly me re-listening to Fightstar's latest album 'Behind The Devil's Back' and free-writing as the album plays.
