Eraserheads

Eraserheads 1989-2002, 2008 onwards?

Isang buwan na lang at Eraserheads reunion concert na. As a tribute, I wrote this blog entry just for it. Rock on este read on pala …
Ang una kong napakinggan na kanta ng E-heads ay ang Tindahan ni Aleng Nena. Mga Grade 5 ata ako noon, nakahiram si ate sa classmate niya ng cassette tape ng unang album ng E-heads (Ultraelectromagneticpop) tapos pinatutugtog niya yun sa walkman niya (di pa uso non ang iPod at mp3 meron lang Betamax…). Ang gusto kong part nung kanta yung mga background sound – nabasag na bote ng suka, sigaw ni Aling Nena, nakuryenteng pusa, pagmamakaawa na ipakilala – at yung mismong kuwento ng kanta.
Isa rin sa mga paborito ko yung Toyang kasi masaya yung melody. Kaya siguro pumatok rin ito sa charts kasi madaling maalala yung lyrics. Pano ba naman pinagsama-sama yung mga lyrics ng Penpen de sarapen, Too Young, Ti Ayat ti Maysa nga Baro kaya ang resulta parang kanta sa larong pambata (Too young nga e hehe).
Yung Minsan naman saka ko lang na-appreciate nung college na ako. Mas feel mo ang mga kanta ng Eheads pag nasa UP ka. Sa simula pa lang ng kanta sabi:
minsan sa may kalayaan tayo’y nagkatagpuan
may mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay
On the same track of thought din yung Ligaya, Kamasupra at Sembreak.

Ligaya:

Ilang isaw pa ba ang kakain, o giliw ko?

Ilang tanzan pa ba ang iipunin, o giliw ko?

gagawin ko ang lahat pati ang thesis mo

wag mo lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko

Kamasupra:

Pero miss na miss na miss

Ko na

Ang aking kama

At ang malupit kong unan

Sembreak:

sana ay may pasok na para at least

mero’n ng baon

cutting classes dating raket

rock and roll buong taon

naalala kita SEMBREAK

Yan ang mga kanta ng mga bangag dahil sa mga course requirements at thesis, at ng mga tinatamad pumasok sa school (hehe tulad ko).

Ito pa yung mga iba kong paboritong E-heads songs:

§ Huwag Kang Matakot – kanta ng mga prends por eber

§ Huwag Mo Nang Itanong – medyo may commentary tungkol sa buhay

Field trip sa may pagawaan ng lapis

Ay katulad ng buhay natin

Isang mahabang pila

Mabagal at walang katuturan

§ Harana – galing ng drums (Raimund) at bass (buddy) dito.

§ Alapaap – although di ko gano gusto lyrics, nagandahan talaga ako sa beat, vocals, drums, guitar at bass sounds ng track na to. Napaka puno ng energy.

§ Torpedo

§ Kailan – nakakatuwa yung backup vocals dito. Dubiduwap..

§ Magasin

§ Maselang Bahaghari – uplifting ang tunog

§ Overdrive – pinakagusto ko dito yung dulong dialogue ng mga pagkain. Ang kulit. Gusto mo ng tapoy? Ginataang-gata

§ Para Sa Masa – very appropriate na kanta sa banda nila.

§ With A Smile – song on how to take life’s ups and downs. Optimistic song

§ Poorman’s Grave – tunog Beatles. Tells of the sad truth that most Filipinos get to wear their best clothes only when they die.

§ Huling El Bimbo – like most E-head songs na may kuwento. Isang factor na sumikat ito marahil kasi madami naka-relate sa theme ng panghihinayang.

Sana sa concert nila sa August 30 kantahin nila ang mga kanta na iyan. Puwedeng intro song yung Minsan tapos kahit last song yung Huling El Bimbo or Para sa Masa. :)

It’s Monday, I feel tired, sleepy and my head aches. It must be because of lack of sleep and physical exhaustion. For the past 2 weeks I have to wake up as early as five in the morning to prepare for breakfast and do cleaning in the house before I leave. I usually sleep around 11 to 11:30 in the evening which leaves me roughly 6 hours of sleep. I sleep that late partly because I do the dishes and the cleaning after dinner. It’s much like me opening the store in the morning and doing the closing sale in the evening. Admittedly, it is quite hard to do things which formerly the house help does. It has been 2 years since we had a house help and I have to admit that I got used to it, especially on those years that I spend more time at work than at our house. Now that we do not have any house help (for three weeks and counting..) I suppose I am still adjusting on budgeting my hours at work, chores and personal time. I think I should set limits on my OC-ness to spare time for my much needed rest and study. Besides, it is not only me who is tired at the end of the day. All of us in the family does, since each one of us have tasks to do at home. Let’s just hope we can all pull this through. ;)
