45 minutes Eraserheads reunion concert?

Published on July 15, 2008 in Uncategorized. 8 Comments

Hindi nga? Hindi nga ako agad naniwala nang una kong marinig ang balita noong Sabado pa ata. Kung saan-sana ko nabasa at poof! parang Koko Krunch lang, ayan, may Reunion Concert nga talaga ang E-heads.

Yes it’s true. It’s been in the works for several months na. Marlboro

is sponsoring this concert and paid each of the members a staggering

P10M each to do a full 45-minute set. This is the official

announcement:

“No more blind items my dear friends. Yes. We are confirming it.

There is no point denying:

August 30, 2008 will be LEGENDARY!!!

The country’s most influential band ever will be reunited for ONE

NIGHT ONLY.

This once in a lifetime experience will be staged at the CCP

opengrounds.

Tickets are free and you can download it early August. Website to be

announced.

ONE BRAND.

ONE BAND.

ONE NIGHT ONLY…

ERASERHEADS REUNION CONCERT!”

Ayon sa nabasa kong blog, (blog ng kababayang si Azrael) galing daw ang actual na statement na yan mula sa isang taong nagngangalang Villy Jay Villacorta na galing sa mailing list ng dating nabuwag na banda.

Wow lang. Na-excite naman ako. Oo, hindi ako makakapanood, pero na-excite pa din ako ng kaunti.

Eto pa pala ang press release na sinulat ni Ricky Lo mula sa Philippine Star- (i-click itong link na ito)

Sabi ni Ginoong Ricky Lo,

Really now, don’t the Eraserheads fans wish that the band would stay together not just for a one-night-only concert but for good…for old time’s sake?

Naisip ko lang, may mga bagay talagang hindi nagtatagal. May dahilan naman siguro sa pangkalahatang takbo ng kalawakan ang pagkabuwag ng banda noon. May mas malaking rason siguro na hindi kailanman maiintindihan ng karamihan lalo na ng mga taong nagkaroon na ng attachment sa musika na nilikha ng grupo.

Parte na ng kabataan ko ang bandang Eraserheads. Trip na trip ng Tita ko (na noon ay dalaga pa) ang musika nila. Nakalakihan ko ang mga tugtog ng banda. Hanggang sa college, laman pa din ng radyo at ng lovelife ko ang mga kanta ng Eheads. Madalas nga akong kantahan ng Torpe noong dati kong ka-puso at ka-romansa. Torpe daw kami pareho.

Hindi kami nagtagal noong ka-romansa kong iyon.

May mga bagay lang talaga na parte na ng buhay mo pero sadyang mahirap nang ilagay sa kasalukuyan.

Pero ayan, salamat sa Marlboro at sa 10Million Pesosesoses! (Andami nun uy!) makaka-reunion concert sila at tutugtog ng 45 minutes. Oha! Goodluck sa dami ng tao na pupunta. Alam ko madami nang naging die-hard E-heads fans na umusbong sa pagdaan ng panahon.

Sa organizers, sa mga pupunta, sa Eheads, gudlaks sa inyo.

Worldpeace!!

Pakiramdam ko isa akong super-man kanina.

Halong, gulat, pagkamangha, takot, at galit ang ibinungad sa akin ni manong bus driver.

Madami siyang sinabi pagkatapos ng kisapmatang pagniniig ng kanyang mga emosyon sa kanyang mukha.
Ang natandaan ko lang, “You could get yourself killed!”

Kalimitan dito sa Amerika, meron kang labinlimang segundo para tumawid sa kalye. Yung kumikisap na ilaw na simbolo ng taong tumatawid o kaya naman minsan ay may nakalagay na salitang “Walk” ang magsisilbing hudyat mo sa pagtawid. Bawal ang pasaway. Kapag pasaway ka ay nahuli ng mga pulis na nagtatago sa mga sulok-sulok at naghahanap ng huli nila for the day, lagot na. May tiket ka at record sa kanila. Minsan may bayad pa.

Bihira ako ng mag- “Thank you” sa mga bus drivers ng sinasakyan kong bus kapag papunta o pauwi sa trabaho. Ayoko na kasing makadagdag sa pagod nila sa pagsagot ng “You’re welcome!” sa bawat pasaherong magte-thank you sa kanila. Biruin mo, halos 40 o 50 ang laman ng bus at kapag lahat yun ay isa-isang nag-thank you sa driver, eh goodluck naman sa kanya. Isa pa, Ayoko lang mag-”Thank you” Kapag hindi ko feel. Minsan badtrip din kasi yung driver. O.a. sa bagal magpatakbo ng bus. Minsan naman barubal kasi nakita nang pasakay ka, biglang aandar at isasara ang pinto. Bihira akong mag-”Thank you.” Promise.

Ikapitong buwan

Kahit pa nakatayo lang ako doon ng halos isang oras sa lilim at kumpleto pa with shades and bubble gum, eh medyo nalungkot pa din ako sa ginawa ko. Yung panoorin lang yung mga kuyang kargador na maglipat ng mga kahon ng damit mula sa isang 18-wheeler na container truck papunta s aisa pang 18-wheeler.

Akala ko nung una ayos lang yung gagawin ko. Kasi magbabantay lang naman ako sa kanila. Yun ang utos sa akin ng nakakataas na bosing kanina, ang bantayan ang mga kargador kasi baka daw magnakaw sila o kung anuman ang gawin. Ampangit lang sa pakiramdam nung wala kang nagagawang tulong sa kanila. Kahit na hindi ako ma-muscles ng todo, eh kaya ko namang magbuhay kahit papa’no.

Pero naisip ko din, hindi ko naman yun trabaho. Kapag umepal ako doon, magkakaroon ng injustice. Pauso ni Plato, kapag gumawa ka daw ng bagay bukod sa itinakdang bagay o gawain sa iyo ay magkakaroon ng injustice.

Trabaho nga naman nila yun. Doon sila binabayaran. Wala lang. Naawa lang din siguro ako sa kasama kong Hispanic na kamukha at kakatawan ni Hagrid ng Harry Potter series. Nagiging kamukha kasi siya ni Jabba the Hut mula sa star wars series kapag nagbubuhat siya ng mga malalaking karton. Pero malakas siya kahit mahigit 40 na siya. Halos 50 na ata. Ewan.

Buti mabilis silang natapos. Umiinit na din kasi ng todo ang araw at wala ng lasa ang bubblegum na nginunguya ko.
