Subterranean Romance - Rise Of The Martial Law Babies

"Back in the early-to-mid 1980's, the Philippines had a thriving underground music scene centralized in its capital city of Manila. Bands like Betrayed, Urban Bandits, Ethnic Faces, Dean's December, Violent Playground, Under Blue Skies, Strange Days, Charlotte Russe, Silos and a lot more were directly/ indirectly influenced by punk and new wave, still gigs were few and far between. Recordings have been real scarce, as well.
Apart from the not-too-many and sporadic 7" singles and cassette releases, a compilation tape entitled Subterranean Romance went on a limited circulation and it pretty much summarized the whole scene: lo-fi and very DIY. Moreover and most importantly, it was inspired and awfully promising, with an intense fan-following. It's interesting to mention that a small number of the bands, like Charlotte Russe and the Silos had a penchant for pop. Sadly, only the Silos were able to release at least one song, which appeared on the above-mentioned Subterranean Romance compilation. One of Charlotte Russe’s live gigs meanwhile, was heard over the radio courtesy of the short-lived station, DWXB 102.7 FM. Known for its "dare to be different" tagline, XB 102 catered to non-mainstream listeners and integrated these bands onto their playlists along with the likes of The Pale Fountains, Aztec Camera, The Lotus Eaters, Care and Orange Juice. Even so, the radio station was shut down in 1987 and majority of the local groups faded into obscurity, while some have continued making music, although taking a different musical path."

Listen to the entire Subterranean Romance compilation.

Pasko Sa Amin - 'Nung Bata Pa Ako

"Pasko na naman,
O kay tulin ng araw,"
Kasabihan sa atin sa Pilipinas, pagpasok na ng buwan ng Disyembre , talagang nalalanghap mo na ang Pasko. Sabi ng Lola ko, amoy pinipig ang hangin. Kasabay nito ay ang pagpasok ng lamig. Marami ng nagsabit- sabit na mga parol at wala na kaming pinakahihintay kung hindi ang dalawang linggong walang pasok sa iskuela.
Ang unang tanda ng Pasko sa aming bahay ay kapag inilabas na ng Tatay ang malilit na ilaw para sa aming maliit na Christmas tree. Para sa aming magkakapatid, napakaganda ng mga ilaw,, may mukha ni Santa, may Snowman, may candy cane, may star, kaya ingat na ingat kami na huwag mabasag. Siempre, lalagyan namin ng bulak sa ilalim, parang "snow".
Ang mga palamuti sa bahay ay isa-isa ng kukunin ng Nanay sa kahon- may isang Nativity set, mga sabit sa Christmas tree na madalas ay gawa ni Nanay at saka gawa namin sa iskuela. Simple lang , meron kaming "streamer" na ang sabi"MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR"---iyan, unahan lagi kami kung sino ang magsasabit.
Ang pinanabikan namin sa panahong ito ay kung anong parol ang gagawin ng lola ko. Sa aming karsada, tanyag ang lola sa kanyang mga parol, ibat- iba, may estrella, may hugis bulaklak, may hugis kandila, lira at marami pang iba. Ang kawayan, kinakayas mabuti para sa tamang lambot upang mabuo ang baskaga. Papel de Hapon at almirol ang pandikit, tapos ang palara ay binibili para sa buntot ng Parol.Hindi pa uso yung mga parol galing sa Pampanga. Kapag nakasabit na sa aming bintana ang mga parol ng Lola, lahat ng napapadaan ay tumitigil, sa labis na paghanga. Maraming gustong magorder sa Lola ko, pero ang laging sagot- talagang pangpamilya lang siya. Siempre pa, sumusunod din sa uso ang Lola, ng lumabas na ang iba-ibang kulay na plastic, lalo siyang sinipag. Kapag naman malapit na ang bagong taon, ang Lola ko rin ang gumagawa ng mga 'sulo', para sa "Torch Parade" sa bayan. Lahat ng iskuela, highschool ay kasali dito.
Ang Tatay at Nanay ay pinalaki kami na naniniwala kay Santa Claus. Sa bisperas ng Pasko, nagsasabit kami ng lumang medyas ng Tatay ko sa flower box ng bahay namin. Maaga pa ay matulog na daw kami dahil hindi darating si Santa kung gising pa kami. At saka kailangan talagang matulog ng maaga para sa Noche Buena sa hating-gabi. Natutulog kami sa himig ng mga kantang Pamasko na inaawit ng Nanay sa kusina habang naghahanda ng Pancit Molo, Chinese ham, Pandesal at Queso de Bola. Kapag malapit ng hating-gabi, gising na, takbo sa medyas!!!!WOW- ako, mayroon maliit na manika, ang Ate ko , may chocolate, ang bunso may laruang kotse. Tanong ng bunso, "paano nakarating si Santa sa amin"-- sagot ng Tatay, "may sariling sasakyan siya na nakakapunta sa buong mundo-"-bilib kami lahat sa Tatay- siempre matalino yata siya.
Sa araw ng Pasko, lahat bago ang damit at sapatos. Pagkasimba, punta na sa bahay ng Lola, para magmano-- . Ang bigay sa amin, ay malutong at bagong limang piso bawat isa. Bago matapos ang araw, ang tingin ko ba ay ang yaman ko.
Ang mga kakanin na handa ng Lola ay talagang napakasarap. Suman sa lihiya, bibingkang malagkit, palitaw, matamis na ube at leche flan. Hay, ang sarap ng buhay!!!
Ilan lamang ang mga ito sa maliligayang alaala ng Pasko ng aking kabataan.Ito ang aking kinagisnan, mga tradisyon na sinimulan ng aking mga ninuno at magulang.
Ngayon, ang aking sariling maganak ay mayroon din mga tradisyon. Isa dito ay ang laging paghiling ng aming anak na isalaysay ang mga alaala ng Pasko sa Pilipinas, kahit paulit-ulit ay hindi niya pinagsasawaan.
Patuloy ang takbo ng buhay at nakatutuwang isipin na darating ang araw na ang aming anak naman ang magiingat ng mga masasayang alaala.
