SINCE Poptimes Magazine celebrated it's 3rd year last February, it is just fitting to remember the good old days by revisiting the very first issue of the magazine.

Back in 2005, Poptimes had no website like what it has now. It was but a monthly electronic magazine/newsletter delivered to registered subscribers through email. The maiden issue was produced in January and delivered the following month.

On the cover were Bleud, The Third Element, Rubberband, and Patricia Javier.

Also featured were Inu (Now The Kuwagos), Version Four (now Blue Mellon Pop), and Sigh Robes.

tedmod   |2008-08-07 18:58:48 haha so funny! Wow, Jonze covered C-Note.. who would have thought?? And Feliza and Anna with their literary pieces!! It's like looking through a high school yearbook!

Feliza   |2008-08-07 22:30:20 Wait....what!? That was Anna??? Wooooow, I didn't know who she was then. But damn, her poem was intense. Awww, man! This was the first (and only!) time I was officially published in any magazine anywhere! Thanks for the opportunity, Ted. Wow, this really is like a time capsule.

pedrong apoy   |2008-08-07 22:48:45 mahgahd!! 2005!!! that was jonze taking pics at cnote?? grabe!! great memories pare. those were great pics of the bartolome brothers, willam and sherwin. and it turned out it was jojo who played the outro on "lost", lagot ka ted!! ahahhhaaaa!!!

tedmod   |2008-08-08 05:55:41 Hahah ain't it a blast, Gatch, Feliza? Yeah, Jojo of PI did the guitar part! Hahhahahe told me about it recently! Sorry hehehee it feels like ages have passed! Feliza,I still remember how I hounded you for that poem!

Feliza   |2008-08-08 12:32:36 Man, I was so scared! Didn't feel too confident yet about my work. But seriously, thanks Ted for hounding me to submit! Ohmagah....2005 seems like ages and ages ago! I remember when I could hardly find more than a handful of good Fil-Am bands that I liked, let alone whose music I'd listen to. Without Poptimes Magazine exposure, I'd still be in the dark. Damn! I didn't realize you guys covered Angie Pepa even back then! That article means alot more to me now that I've met her and seen her perform.

pedrong apoy   |2008-08-08 13:00:34 and pre, at the cnote, i tried to have a conversation with brijo to tell him i enjoyed bleud's set and he kept ignoring me!! i turned to arnold and asked him what was up with brijo and he just shrugged his shoulders. aaahaahahaa!!
