PSY may have to keep his pants on at the moment as his massive hit "Gangnam Style" remains stuck at number 2 for the second week in a row in Billboard's Hot 100 chart. He failed to dislodge Maroon 5's "One More Night" at the number one position, and won't be dancing naked as he promised if "Gangnam Style" makes it to the top of the charts.

But the 34-year-old Korean rapper is no stranger to (partly) disrobing as he channels Lady Gaga and Beyonce in a 2011 video that surfaced online.

In it, Psy can be seen dressed skimpily and dancing Lady Gaga-style to "Poker Face." He later channels Beyonce on "Single Ladies," wearing a sparkly red and white suit with a cutout that  prominently shows PSY's love handles.

'Gangnam Style' pokes fun at status symbols

Rain-soaked inmates go ‘Gangnam Style’

It's been more than a month since I came back from the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan and the past few weeks have been a long grieving phase for me.

Never has anything affected me so much—not anything in the past decade's worth of watching and taking photos of musicians that I love.

Today, I am latching on to the past and feel at the mercy of my emotions.

My musical bucket list

As I shoot concerts and musicians for a living, I had my own bucket list of artists I wanted to photograph before I (or they) die.

Thom Yorke of Radiohead sings while Jonny Greenwood waits for his cue to play his instrument. Radiohead was on my list. And they were headliners at the Fuji Rock Fest, which I was attending with fellow Yahoo! blogger Francis Brew.

Before flying to Japan, I had been so emotional at the thought of finally seeing the band. And it blew my mind even more that I would be taking pictures of them!

It would be the most challenging for me as I knew I had to set aside part of my extra-giddy fan self. I kept turning to Facebook to say that I would watch Radiohead, cry to "Arpeggi" with mud

Editor's note: When musician, promoter, DJ and Yahoo! Philippines digital solutions manager Mike Constantino posted his thoughts on Facebook about the issue on the so-called death of OPM , it was shared 118 times and liked by 170 people in less than three days after he put it up on Sept. 18. It also became the manifesto for a new Facebook group called Occupy Pilipino Music (OPM) that Mike hopes will serve to "encourage each other and share ideas on how to help the scene out in our own little way."  Below is an edited version of Mike's essay.

Mike ConstantinoHaving been fortunate enough to be directly involved in almost every aspect of the local music scene for the majority of my adult life, I too am incensed by all of this OPM is Dead business.

I know by experience that artists make their living in the LIVE arena.  Album and merchandise sales (and now, digital music sales) are all good for the industry, but for artists, playing live results in the most lucrative pay-off.

Before the advent of digital

A scene from "Ang Nawawala" (Photo courtesy of Cinemalaya)Gibson Bonifacio (Dominic Roco) is 20 and had just gotten back to his home in Manila after three years of studying abroad, but just for the holidays. The thing with Gibson is he doesn't speak. He hasn't, since witnessing a tragic event in his childhood.

He immediately notices that his family is falling apart. You notice too, that there is something more to Gibson than his selective mutism and the camera he always carries around.

The thing with "Ang Nawawala" is the restraint writer-director Marie Jamora applied in telling the story. She knew her characters' stories and back stories, all the details, but she and co-writer Ramon de Veyra revealed just the right amount of information to keep you interested.

Nothing forced

Nothing felt forced, nor too drawn out. Except perhaps for Mark Abaya's wig.

And because Marie's a well-loved music video director, you're almost worried her first feature film would look and feel like one. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just that you

There are very few all-female bands in the Philippines. Being a woman myself in a profession where I have to stay out at all hours taking pictures of rock stars, I know firsthand how it feels to be stereotyped. It can be both a benefit and a disadvantage.General Luna lived this from the get-go.

Vocalist Nicole Asension gets lost in the music.

When they were first signed to Warner Music in 2009, there was talk about the image of the band preceding the music they would make. So, I was a bit skeptical.

Yet, the few times I crossed paths with them in those early years, I saw a fire in them that I knew would come out at the right time. They were eager to play their own songs, but as relative unknowns, they knew they had to compromise.

Beyond bodies and faces

Guitarist Audry Dionisio said they've been pitching music video concepts that would go beyond the usual marketing scheme of constantly showing their bodies and faces.

For General Luna, it's really the music that matters more than anything else. But they know that they have to earn
