Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
The reunion of an important rock band is laden with enough emotional and literal baggage to crash an airplane. In the Philippines in the 1990s, the Eraserheads were the Beatles. Whether you bought their albums or not, you know their songs. They came at you from all sides, they got their hooks into your brain. You may not even be aware that you know them until years later you get stuck in traffic and one is played on the radio. Why do you know all the words, including the back-up vocals?
The End. in Emotional Weather Report, today in the Star.

i agree 100% i didn’t know what hit me when the Eraserheads came along… they were/is/will always be with me until my dying days and i don’t know if my children will ever come across a band like them.
i hope so. it’s a long shot but i really do hope so.

Ah, the mid-1990’s. Fresh out of college. First series of jobs,new friends. First car,first serious relationship. E-heads and True Faith tapes playing on the car stereo non-stop on unplanned out of town trips and gimmicks. Those were sweet times for a 1990’s guy like me. If I can come back in time, or move back time, it will be 1995 forever. Can’t believe it’s been that long. Remember when a senator (one of a popular noon-time trio host)delivered a privilege speech denouncing the E-heads and calling for a senate inquiry into the song “Alapaap”, for its supposedly naughty lyrics encouraging teenagers to take drugs? As if his own reckless youthful years were unblemished by allegations of drugs, sex and even rape.
