Eraserheads

[doosh_baggins]

I still have thier tapes though.. pero sa tingin ko the best pa rin yung 2nd album nila sa Circus!

 

Anyway, does anyone still have that white book that eheads release about the fruitcake or something? Can't find it anywhere now.

[sabaku_no_gaara]

sayang talaga heads..

 

reunion concert na!

[misbyutiful]

nung iniinterview sya last week, parang ayw na tlga nya pag usapan un eheads. aayw na daw nya ng reminiscin ek ek..heheeheh tpos pinapasok nya ung bagong band nya sa usapan agad.message nya sa mga die hard eheads fans, move on. hehehe

[tensyonado]

To this day, I will never forget how I used to bang my head whenever I hear Magasin and Alapaap being played. I will always remember how I cried once about lost opportunities upon hearing Torpedo. I will always reminensce how my heart beat faster than any man on earth when I first heard Ely utter the lyrics to Fill Her. Hanggang ngayon barkada song ko pa rin ang Minsan…and yes, who wouldve forgotten the song Pare Ko, a song where I ended up in a police station after my drunken stupor led me to instigate a brawl with certain local residents. Man, those were the 90's. Those were the Eheads. Those were the times of my life…..Thank you Guys.

 

Trivia: Everytime I had sex, my ex would play "Ang huling El Bimbo". Unto this day, I dunno why….must be that Japayuki itch.

I met Ely while studying at the University of the Philippines. There were several of us who hung around together. Ely, Manok (Ely's roommate), Irl, Tano, Redel, Ogie, Chappy or Paeng (depending on who you were talking to at the time), Efren, Luci (short for Lucifer because we all thought he was the nth coming of the anti-Christ), Mondski and myself. We all lived in Kalayaan Residence Hall, the freshmen dormitory at UP. Everyone of us in the group, except Luci and Ogie, lived on the 3rd floor. Yeah, we did a lot of drinking then and every night was isaw night because all they served at Kalayaan was tinolang itlog. The isaw vendor across the street, wedged between the Coop and, I think, the street entrance to Area 1, let us drink liquor by his stand, mostly bilogs and flats because we did not have enough money for beer. We'd stay there until Kalayaan curfew (kind of an oxymoron isn't it, Kalayaan and curfew) then I'd shove all of our leftover libations into my gym bag. Ely, Tano and Paeng would distract Ate Elves ( the security guard ) while I passed through the main door so she would not notice the clanking sounds inside my bag. Ely and the other guys would stick around the lobby cavorting with the females and generally making, pa-cute, until last bell rang and it was really time to retire for the night.

 

In truth the night, for us, was just beginning. After bed check, we would all make our way towards Ely's and Manok's room towards the end of the hallway. We drank whatever liquor we had left while listening to Ely and Luci play the guitar and sing songs by the Cure, U2, REM, Siouxsie and the Banshees and the like. We engaged in useless banter and, sometimes, worthwhile discussions confronting the "Isko ng Bayan." For example, thoughful advocacy of how a big boob girl really was more appealing than a cute perky butt girl or vice versa; philosophical, if we thought that one person was an ahole, in all probability that person was an ahole; physics, how the hell does one particular big boob girl keep from falling forward dragged by all that weight; literature, critiques of Cactus Jack's vandal wars against NDF (we all thought that CJ was Ely), written and posted behind almost every bathroom stall door on the 3rd floor, etc. When we were bored, we simply pointed Efren's binoculars towards the Yakal's girls' wing, the upperclassmen dormitory right across us, and were treated to shows quite like no other. We stayed up all night most of the time. Those nights are still vivid in my mind. I left UP at the end of my sophomore year, 1989. As children, we were carefree and saw nothing as it really was.

 

Years later, I heard from Irl, he became a UP Concert Chorus member and toured the States with them, that Ely had made it big with a band. Ely and I met in Chicago, where I lived, around 1998 when the Eraserheads toured the US. I went to one of their scheduled autograph signings. We both had so much stories to tell. He had kept in touch with most of the guys. I knew Ely as a friend and I was so happy for him.

 

As I left that meeting to pick up my then girlfriend from work, I turned my radio to the National Public Radio station. I caught the last verses of a poetry reading which, looking back, I think reflects the times that the Eraserheads sang in their songs:

 

"I learned about life from life itself.

Love, I learned in a single kiss,

And could teach no one nothing.

Except that I have lived

With something in common among men,

In fighting with them

And in saying all their say in their songs."

 

It seems that my friend has said what he's had to say in songs and it has brought you all far more riches in life than troves of treasure. For their songs remain in your heart and though they may be significant to each of us for different reasons, their significance derives from each of the lives that we have led and in each of its part that we have met.

 

 

My apologies for quite a lengthy post. Be well.
