Crooning the Night Away

Crooning the Night Away

"In the dark times, will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing about the dark times." - Brecht

About me

Unbeknownst to strangers who heard him sing in videoke, Crooner KR Guda did not have formal training in music, apart from a brief stint as a bass voice singing "Times of Your Life" during high school. Nowadays, he busies himself writing about politics and culture and studying photojournalism. As a journalist covering human rights issues, he is what can aptly be described by that John Berger quote: "Truly we writers are the secretaries of death." (Thanks to newly-sanctioned poet Teo Marasigan for that one)

Stupid Me

Arggghhh! Hindi ko sinasadya! Nabura ko ang blog ko! Ubos lahat -- entries, links, comments, lahat. Argggggh! Ngayon, iisa-isahin ko ang entries na mayroon pa akong kopya dito sa PC. Yung mga wala, ipapaubaya ko na lang sa mga diyos ng cyberspace. Kaya kung may nai-save kayo na entries ko, ipadala n'yo sa kin! Now, to continue on with my teeth-gnashing. Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh!
