An Art Called Noise Pollution



                                                                                                    
            “Too much love will kill you,” and a prolonged exposure too political aspirants jingle will damage your brain, erase all your sanity within and cause at times cardiac-arrest. Bad music causes disaster and oblivion, rape and all the catastrophes in the world much like seeing any image of Kris Aquino will make you feel sick and just want to throw up, and at this kind of chaotic scene, I always resort to my kind of music, turn the volume knob to its fullest and blast away all those fucking pain in the ass, ear shattering noise pollution. Self-deprivation of good music may cause a delusional world called Philippines and listening to the likes of ai-ai and Diet let this country to give birth to another trash, Jovit Baldovino.

            First and foremost, I am not holding any grudge towards the guy, he has a good voice. But that’s it, period. Having a kick ass voice, a hell-I-can-fucking-reach-those-high-notes throat doesn’t mean that you’ll have a good taste of music too. A good example of this is his songs. Okay-okay, so he won the title in a talent search for singing Brian May’s song, but the judges there doesn’t even had a taste for real talent and one of them doesn’t have any talent herself. So, he was largely influenced by hair-metal, tight-jeans-see-my-dick-blot-jeans music due to his father failure to succeed in the music business. So he grew up with Bon Jovi, Axel Rose and Sebastian Bach as his mentor, Sir eddie van halen was beside them whenever they are practicing and it was the late great lord Freddie Mercury who tap his back and told him to compete in the competition. But it didn’t mean that he would really grew with the right kind of sounding, the right taste between you sound good and you suck. Common, let’s face it haven’t you seen the way he sang? He looks like a Piolo Pascual having a hard time unleashing his wrath due to excessive use of his rear entrance by Sam Milby.

            Fine, music is for us to hear and not to see, then why are they still releasing worthless shit? I mean common, is that all to his music? I still remember his awful song on a bus I was riding for manila last month, I just can’t remember the title and the lyrics, but the music itself is poorly crafted that it really registered in my mind. It sounded really awful that I was about to puke beside a nice looking asshole beside me. If only I haven’t paid the fare, I might had took of the bus and wait for another one or maybe if only I was using a portable music player, then this post wouldn’t even exist in the first place. But why is it still being played in some radio stations? Listening to this kind of music would inflict self-harm without them noticing it, it’s the main source of road accidents for it damages your brain too much, that one wouldn’t even have time to stop and think before their mindless acts.

            As the Election Day comes nearer every day, more and more worthless shit hits the air to pesterized our ears with their un-mindful campaign jingles. Think of this, they would play their jingle as early as 6am to wake you up from your slumber, hell; they really got your attention didn’t they? They would turn their volume like there’s no tomorrow to shatter all your ear waxes, when, mind you, they care none on how they sound, they would just sit behind the wheels and roam freely around your turf and spit in your face cause you can do none to stop this chaos…and much of the time, they sound like your nagging mother having a bad sex day because your old man’s Johnson wont wake up. I think, all candidates for a government seat must have a crash course on sound engineering, I mean come’ on.  If you really want to win Juan dela cruz heart, might as well learn how to sing and crate a good music…and invest on good, if not the best, sound system. If you’re living somewhere here in my town, then you might as well have heard of those screeching jingles. Some would sound like tiya pusit due to lack of bass and over use of treble, and some sounds like a scratching paper mix with a very low farting sound due to the excessive use of bass. What’s with the jingle if voters won’t even listen to it due to its pitiful sounding? Worst case scenario, Even the aspirant hate his own jingle.

            We, Filipinos love to sing, in the toilet, kitchen, hotel, park, even in the Celebes Sea. I can think of any occasion that there’s no any kind of music within a 5meter radius. From wedding bands to death bands, birthday karaoke to wake’s singing marathon-till-you-die-too. And as far as I can remember, it was a Filipino inventor who made the karaoke. We love music too much that even Abraham Laboriel was stunned in awe to us on how good we are in copying and studying others music. We have so much passion in this that our country has produced the likes of Kirk Hammet, Arnel Pineda to name some, “Charisse Pempenco is from another race called hydrofied, and I don’t want to nag on her egocentric attitude at this moment.” I think it was just last year when sir Francis Brew Reyes posted something on his FB wall on how he envies others country by means of investing on good music. Bear this in mind, there’s no such thing as a Beautiful knob nor any good voice volume on any mixers and amps, all that you would see is low, middle and high, so would you all please study on how to mix and blend it properly and most of all, please invest the right speakers for the right mixer. Think of this, you would not brew a coffee using freezing water right?
