Hello ya'll. Everything is settled for the weekend, I hope. Peace and love =)
Best make out music
RIGHT now, one of the words most tossed around in recent Filipino slang is MOMOL, which stands for “Make Out Make Out Lang” and is used to describe relationships of a more—physical nature.
“So, are you guys officially dating?”
“Well…MOMOL.”
“So, are you guys officially dating?”
“Well…MOMOL.”
Since then, there have been variants like MOMON (Make Out Make Out Na), MOMOR (Make Out Make Out and More), MOMOP (Make Out Make Out Pa), MOMOX (Make Out Make Out Extreme) and KAKAL (I’ll let you guys figure this out for yourselves).
However, there is something that makes MOMOL more than just MOMOL and I’m not talking about getting into relationships. Why commit when you can just have Make Out Make Out Music (MOMOM)? It makes things more dramatic and romantic than what they really are, and there’s nothing like listening to U2’s “One” while MOMOLing in the car.
I know this is more information than you’d like to stomach-but I was introduced to the concept of making out to music late in life; two years ago, to be more precise. And when I discovered, through my ex-girlfriend (thank you, you know who you are), the mind-blowing possibility that two people could actually make out to a playlist, I stopped kissing her and spent the next two hours programming my “on-the-go playlist.”
So without further ado, I present to you Super’s 2009 Make Out Playlist. If you’re reading this in the morning, I suggest you search these songs out now to ensure a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
1. Massive Attack—“Protection.” Almost no other genre says MOMOL more than Trip Hop. So begin with the quintessential Trip Hop collective and pair it with the very soothing and female-friendly voice of Everything but the Girl’s Tracey Thorn. Clocking at almost eight minutes, this is one of the best songs to get each other in the mood and a great beginning to that MOMOL session!
2. Mazzy Star—“Fade Into You.” Then you should probably segue into this mid-90s folksy alternative classic, a song both distant yet offering the promise of love.
3. Broken Social Scene—“Lover’s Spit.” Track 3 might be a good time to shift into something a little more obscure and current. “Lover’s Spit” is a deathly sexy song, and bonus points for you if you get the version with Feist singing in it!
4. Jeff Buckley—“Last Goodbye.” One of my favorite music critics, Jason Caballa, once said: “People only love Jeff Buckley because he’s dead.” I must disagree with Mr. Caballa on that comment. People love Jeff Buckley because he is so great at making make out music. I’m positive that at
2:04, when Buckley croons, “Kiss me, please kiss me. But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation,” a thousand couples have bit harder and kissed more passionately.

5. Lauryn Hill—“Ex-Factor.” Fewer Hip-Hop/R&B artists do it more soulfully than Lauryn Hill. “Ex-factor,” her best song from “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” is both painful and sexy at the same time.
6. Radiohead—“Nude.” Few things are sexier than taste and intellect, and nothing is more tasteful or intelligent than Radiohead. “Nude” is their most ethereal, atmospheric MOMOL masterpiece.
7. Drip—“To You.” Time to go local, and my vote for sexiest Pinoy act goes to Drip. “To You,” from their 2005 debut “Far Side of The World,” has the best combination of drums and bass, floaty guitar sounds and Beng Calma’s come-hither voice that guarantees suave kissing action.
8. Elliot Smith—“Say Yes.” A guitar and a guy, nothing could be sweeter. If it worked for the first kiss between Minnie Driver and Matt Damon in “Good Will Hunting,” it will work for you.
9. Peter Gabriel—“In Your Eyes.” OH. MY. GOD. I put this in the middle because this is the best. Playing this song will subliminally invoke images of John Cusack holding a boom box outside Ione Skye’s house in “Say Anything,” and for five minutes and 30 seconds, the two of you will have the illusion that you are ACTUALLY IN LOVE.
10. The Cure—“Lovesong.” Time to speed things up a bit, and what better song to do that than this New Wave masterpiece? The 311 version works too, I guess.
11. Paula Abdul—“Rush Rush.” This will probably get in the way of a smooth-flowing MOMOL session, but then it could go two ways: a.) your date will stop, pull back, and be confounded or b.) your date will stop, pull back, and you will sing the song together, resulting in a sweet, funny moment. It must be said (though this really has nothing to do with anything) that the video with Keanu Reeves is a classic.
12. Michael Jackson—“Rock With You.” A risky choice, to be sure. This might give your date the wrong idea, especially if he/she is much younger. It’s a great song though, so what the hell.
13. Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot—“Bonnie and Clyde.” They say that French is the most romantic language, and this 1960s gem from two of the biggest sex icons of the time may seem kind of weird, but it works.
14. Prefab Sprout—“When Love Breaks Down.” Prefab Sprout was very much an underappreciated New Wave band that wrote lovely pop songs full of yearning and melancholy. “When Love Breaks Down” is my personal favorite song of theirs—it’s quite sad, but then I find that most good MOMOM is.
15. Ella del Rosario—“O, Lumapit Ka.” Yes, this will probably elicit laughs, but in an ideal world, this Manila Sound classic will be the perfect precedent to getting it on.
16. Marvin Gaye—“Sexual Healing.” Speaking of getting it on, as we wrap up it might be time to start dropping hints. This beautiful 1982 pop ditty just might get you MOMOR, if that’s what you’re looking for.
17. MGMT—“Electric Feel.” It’s best to seal the deal on a high note, and I can think of nothing better than my personal favorite song of 2008. It’s new, it’s cool, it will make yo’ bodies move, b*tch. So good luck with your playlists, friends, whether or not you decide to choose mine. After all, to quote “Electric Feel”—“This is what the world is for: making electricity.”
‘I’m always thinking of compositions’
Even in the West, pop [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]music[/color][/color] receives much more hype than Western classical. Yehudi Menuhin is such a great artiste but it’s a completely different story of hype for a Madonna or a Michael Jackson!” says Pt Shivkumar Sharma, when asked how he felt at AR Rahman’s global fame.
“But, I believe he (Rahman) is one to have introduced electronic music to films. Other composers rely heavily on programmers,” adding, “Earlier, we used to have arrangers. While the producers would also compose the interludes, the arranger would garnish them keeping in mind the individual styles. That hardly happens now.”
Is this the reason for his absence from composing film scores now? “Time is a constraint besides I hardly get subjects that interest me.”
