PINOY THRILLER



Ano ang nasa dako pa roon?
Bunga ng malikot na pag-iisip, likha ng balintataw
O halaw sa isang daigdig ng kababalaghan
Di kayang maipaliwanag ngunit alam mong magaganap…


Marami pa siguro ang nakakatanda sa pamosong mga linya na ito. Galing ito sa isang tanyag na katatakutang programa na may pamagat na Pinoy Thriller na ipinalabas noong Dekada 80. Kakaunti na lang siguro ang nakakaalala sa mga episode nito pero sigurado ako na marami pa rin ang nakakaalala sa musikang ginamit bilang soundtrack ng horror show na ito. Marami ang nagsasabi na ang musikang ito ang dahilan kaya lumabas na nakakatakot talaga ang nasabing programa. This show spawned another horror show, Regal Shockers. But Pinoy Thriller, with its well-written and well-presented stories about asuwang, witches, kapre proved to be more horrifying. It’s certainly one of the best horror shows that came out on TV.
Pink Floyd ang may likha ng ‘nakapangingilabot’ na musikang ginamit ng Pinoy Thriller at ang titulo niyon ay “Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict.” Mula sa album na may pamagat na “Ummagumma,” ang kantang ito ang isa na siguro sa pinaka-weird na kantang nilikha ng Pink Floyd bagama’t marami talagang kakatwang kantang nilikha ang pamosong bandang ito. Wala ni isang instrumentong ginamit dito, boses lang at mga kamay na itinatapik sa mesa at kung saan-saan na ginamitan ng tape loops at special effects.

Ang kantang ito ay inyong mapapakinggan sa blogsite na ito, sa kanang bahagi, sa bandang itaas ng pahinang ito. Walang mensahe sa kantang ito, nagkakatuwaan lang daw at nag-e-eksperimento ang nasabing banda ng likhain ito.

Sa bandang hulihan ng kanta ay may tila isang Scottish na nagtatalumpati (na sa aktuwalidad ay si Roger Waters, Pink Floyd bassist at nagsulat ng kanta) at naririto ang mga salita sa kanyang litanya:

Aye an' a bit of mackeral, settler rack and down
Ran it down by the home, and I flew
Well, it slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade
And I cried, cried, cried
The tear had fallen down he had taken, never back to raise
And then cried Mary, an' took out wi' your Claymore
Right outta a' pocket, i ran down, down by the mountain side
Battlin' the fiery horde that was falling around the feet
"Never!," he cried. "Never shall ye get me alive
Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!
"Well I snatched fer the blade an' a Claymore cut and thrust
And I fell down before him round his feet
Aye! A roar he cried!
Frae the bottom of 'is heart
That I would nay fall but as dead
Dead as I can by y' feet, d'ya ken?
… And the wind cried Mary.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
