Here&#8217;s an excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In February of this year, I got an unmarked brown envelope that bore the label &#8220;Hubad sa Kalsada [Mix-Down 001\/2007].&#8221; Inside was a CDR. Playing it back, it revealed a bare, guitar-and-voice recording bearing that unmistakable falsetto (with the voice double-tracked, and with a bit of slap-back echo, a la Spector&#8217;s Lennon recordings, as in &#8220;Instant Karma&#8221;). It sounded sort of gothic folk, but sang in falsetto. This was most unusual. Insanely enough, I sometimes get unsolicited demos over e-mail from indie bands who ask for professional advice &#8212; to which I invariably say, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be as much help to you as a sack of hammers; see if there is a listing under &#8216;Rico Blanco&#8217; in the white pages&#8221; &#8212; but this can&#8217;t be one of those demos. More to the fact, it is unmarked. I personally brought this up with suspect number one, Ely Buendia, but he unnaturally shifted gears, &#8220;You know what we don&#8217;t hear a lot? Good whistlers.&#8221; Such a strange, eyeliner-wearing man.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Read the rest of the story in Uno Mag&#8217;s April 2010 issue.
