The latter half of the 1980s brought a rambunctious wave of artistic expression that ushered in a giant movement in the Philippine music industry in the 1990s: the reinvention of Pinoy rock. There were other exciting developments such as the ethnic/word music movement, side by side with the rise of Philippine music theater and the recognition of Filipino musical talent in the world musical theater stage. Susan Claire Agbayani not only gives as glimpses of those exciting times in the Philippine music industry, but also details the l990s ethos in the varied collection of articles in this book.
—Ryan Cayabyab, National Artist for Music
Susan Claire Agbayani is the Martian chronicler sending a postcard home. Home is time. Last night, everyone partied hard at Oracafe, and all their brain and heart cells exploded and imploded in sync with the farthest Vedic stars. Tomorrow, everyone will have a hangover worse than death only to be reincarnated as the next spoken word poet slash performance artist slash multi-genre multi-instrumentalist. And today is forever as that cheesy payola-overdosed love song sang. All you need is a decade. And if you’re lucky, you can press Repeat Playback till your forefinger bleeds.
—Khavn De La Cruz, multi-award-winning filmmaker, composer, poet, and novelist
This memoir speaks and moves like a shared diary—shared not just among those who thrived in the decades the author lived through, or with those who went to the same gigs and dives and concerts. It should also resonate with those who weren’t there, generations who live, love, and play differently but carry the same musical DNA. As a music-loving culture, wherever and whenever we are, we Filipinos all need to know that we are part of each other’s journey.
—Sarge Lacuesta, novelist, essayist, editor-at-large, Esquire Philippines
