SBH Ep 24 - The INAP Conference in Subic Bay

Just uploaded episode 24 of the Subic Bay Hour, already Bay FM's undisputed source of latest updates in Subic Bay through live interviews with Subic's prominent personalities and decisionmakers.

Our resource person for this episode, Senior Deputy Administrator Ferdinand Hernandez, talked about the on-going conference in Subic of the International Network of Affiliated Ports (INAP) wherein which this freeport is also a member of, as well as SBMA's current efforts to market the newly-constructed container terminal to interested local and potential foreign port users. Also in the show was my very good friend mamu Armie Llamas, SBMA Public Relations Manager.

It was really a pleasure finally talking with Atty. Hernandez live over BayFM because I sort of missed his first SBH guesting. Not only is this guy so brilliant, he's also one very good looking dude and I just enjoyed staring at him while he talks over the mic ^-^.

Anyway, I'm utterly excited that SBH is fast gaining quite a number of listeners abroad through web streaming. A filipino in Italy called in through Radyo ng Bayan saying that they have been listening to the show because they're really interested to hear about the developments in the Philippines, particularly in Subic Bay. This, not to mention the regular listeners in the U.S. who call and send in text messages to co-anchor Ed Verzola.

For TTRO Filipino readers who'd want to listen to the show, you can access some of the earlier episodes by clicking on the Subic Bay Hour tag. Hey, if you want to take a break from the senseless drone emanating from Manila-centric news sources, get a dose of good news for a change and tune in to the Subic Bay Hour over Radyo ng Bayan 738 AM and through live web streaming at www.pbs.gov.ph every Saturday, 7pm-8pm (Manila time).

So here goes Episode 24 of the Subic Bay Hour featuring Atty. Hernandez (watch out for him soon in the local political arena).

Timeless Artists: U2

Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion, they were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Though the Edge's style wasn't conventional, the rhythm section of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr., played the songs as driving hard rock, giving the band a forceful, powerful edge that was designed for arena rock. And their lead singer, Bono, was a frontman who had a knack of grand gestures that played better in arenas than small clubs. It's no accident that footage of Bono parading with a white flag with "Sunday Bloody Sunday" blaring in the background became the defining moment of U2's early career -- there rarely was a band that believed so deeply in rock's potential for revolution as U2, and there rarely was a band that didn't care if they appeared foolish in the process. During the course of the early '80s, the group quickly built up a dedicated following through constant touring and a string of acclaimed records. By 1987, the band's following had grown large enough to propel them to the level of international superstars with the release of The Joshua Tree. Unlike many of their contemporaries, U2 was able to sustain their popularity in the '90s by reinventing themselves as a postmodern, self-consciously ironic dance-inflected pop/rock act, owing equally to the experimentalism of late-'70s Bowie and '90s electronic dance and techno. By performing such a successful reinvention, the band confirmed its status as one of the most popular bands in rock history, in addition to earning additional critical respect. With its textured guitars, U2's sound was undeniably indebted to post-punk, so it's slightly ironic that the band formed in 1976, before punk had reached their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Larry Mullen, Jr. (born October 31, 1961; drums), posted a notice on a high-school bulletin board asking for fellow musicians to form a band. Bono (born Paul Hewson, May 10, 1960; vocals, guitar), the Edge (born David Evans, August 8, 1961; guitar, keyboards, vocals), Adam Clayton (born March 13, 1960; bass), and Dick Evans responded to the ad, and the group formed as a Beatles and Stones cover band called the Feedback, before changing their name to the Hype in 1977. Shortly afterward, Dick Evans left the band to form the Virgin Prunes. Following his departure, the group changed its name to U2. U2's first big break arrived in 1978, when they won a talent contest sponsored by Guinness; the band were in their final year of high school at the time. By the end of the year, the Stranglers' manager, Paul McGuinness, saw the band play and offered to manage them. Even with a powerful manager in their corner, the band had trouble making much headway -- they failed an audition with CBS Records at the end of the year. In the fall of 1979, U2 released their debut EP, U2 Three. The EP was available only in Ireland, and it topped the national charts. Shortly afterward, they began to play in England, but they failed to gain much attention. U2 had one other chart-topping single, "Another Day," in early 1980 before Island Records offered the group a contract. Later that year, the band's debut, Boy, was released. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, the record's sweeping, atmospheric but edgy sound was unlike most of its post-punk contemporaries, and the band earned further attention for its public embrace of Christianity; only Clayton was not a practicing Christian. Through constant touring, including opening gigs for Talking Heads and wet T-shirt contests, U2 was able to

take Boy into the American Top 70 in early 1981. October, also produced by Lillywhite, followed in the fall, and it became their British breakthrough, reaching number 11 on the charts. By early 1983, Boy's "I Will Follow" and October's "Gloria" had become staples on MTV, which, along with their touring, gave the group a formidable cult following in the U.S. Released in the spring of 1983, the Lillywhite-produced War was U2's breakthrough release, entering the U.K. charts at number one and elevating them into arenas in the United States, where the album peaked at number 12. War had a stronger political message than its predecessors, as evidenced by the U.K., college radio, and MTV hits "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day." During the supporting tour, the band filmed its concert at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater, releasing the show as an EP and video titled Under a Blood Red Sky. The EP entered in the U.K. charts at number two, becoming the most successful live recording in British history. U2 had become one of the most popular bands in the world, and their righteous political stance soon became replicated by many other bands, providing the impetus for the Band Aid and Live Aid projects in 1984 and 1985, respectively. For the follow-up to War, U2 entered the studios with co-producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, who helped give the resulting album an experimental, atmospheric tone. Released in the fall of 1984, The Unforgettable Fire replicated the chart status of War, entering the U.K. charts at number one and reaching number 12 in the U.S. The album also generated the group's first Top 40 hit in America with the Martin Luther King, Jr., tribute "(Pride) In the Name of Love." U2 supported the album with a successful international tour, highlighted by a show-stealing performance at Live Aid. Following the tour, the band released the live EP Wide Awake in America in 1985. While U2 had become one of the most successful rock bands of the '80s, they didn't truly become superstars until the spring 1987 release of The Joshua Tree. Greeted with enthusiastic reviews, many of which proclaimed the album a masterpiece, The Joshua Tree became the band's first American number one hit and its third straight album to enter the U.K. charts at number one; in England, it set a record by going platinum within 28 hours. Generating the U.S. number one hits "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," The Joshua Tree and the group's supporting tour became the biggest success of 1987, earning the group the cover of respected publications like Time magazine. U2 decided to film a documentary about their American tour, recording new material along the way. The project became Rattle & Hum, a film that was supported by a double-album soundtrack that was divided between live tracks and new material. While the album Rattle & Hum was a hit, the record and film received the weakest reviews of U2's career, with many critics taking issue with the group's fascination with American roots music like blues, soul, country, and folk. Following the release of Rattle & Hum, the band took an extended hiatus.

LISTEN TO U2

U2 reconvened in Berlin 1990 to record a new album with Eno and Lanois. While the sessions for the album were difficult, the resulting record, Achtung Baby, represented a successful reinvention of the band's trademark sound. Where they had been inspired by post-punk in the early career and American music during their mid-career, U2 delved into electronic and dance music with Achtung Baby. Inspired equally by late-'70s Bowie and the Madchester scene in the U.K., Achtung Baby was sonically more eclectic and adventurous than U2's earlier work, and it didn't alienate their core audience. The album debuted at number one throughout the world and spawned Top Ten hits with "Mysterious Ways" and "One." Early in 1992, the group launched an elaborate tour to support Achtung Baby. Dubbed Zoo TV, the tour was an innovative blend of multimedia electronics, featuring a stage filled with televisions, suspended cars, and cellular phone calls. Bono devised an alter ego called the Fly, which was a knowing send-up of rock stardom. Even under the ironic guise of the Fly and Zoo TV, it was evident that U2 was looser and more fun than ever before, even though they had not abandoned their trademark righteous political anger. Following the completion of the American Zoo TV tour in late 1992 and before the launch of the European leg of the tour, U2 entered the studio to complete an EP of new material that became the full-length Zooropa. Released in the summer of 1993 to coincide with the tour of the same name, Zooropa demonstrated a heavier techno and dance influence than Achtung Baby and it received strong reviews. Nevertheless, the album stalled at sales of two million and failed to generate a big hit single. During the Zooropa tour, the Fly metamorphosed into the demonic MacPhisto, which dominated the remainder of the tour. Upon the completion of the Zooropa tour in late 1993, the band took an extended break. During 1995, U2 re-emerged with "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," a glam rock theme to Batman Forever that was produced by Nellee Hooper (Björk, Soul II Soul). Later that year, they recorded the collaborative album Original Soundtracks, Vol. 1 with Brian Eno, releasing the album under the name the Passengers late in 1995. It was greeted with a muted reception, both critically and commercially.

Many hardcore U2 fans, including drummer Larry Mullen, Jr., were unhappy with the Passengers project, and U2 promised their next album, to be released in the fall of 1996, would be a rock & roll record. The album took longer to complete than usual, being pushed back to the spring of 1997. During its delay, a few tracks, including the forthcoming first single "Discotheque," were leaked, and it became clear that the new album was going to be heavily influenced by techno, dance, and electronic music. When it was finally released, Pop did indeed bear a heavier dance influence, but it was greeted with strong initial sales, and a few positive reviews. In late 1998, the group returned with Best of 1980-1990, the first in a series of hits collections issued in conjunction with a reported 50 million dollar agreement with Polygram. Three years after the mediocre response to Pop, U2 teamed up with Eno and Lanois once again to release All That You Can't Leave Behind in fall 2000. It topped charts around the world, reached number three in America, earned the band Grammy Awards for the singles "Beautiful Day" and "Walk On," and became their biggest-selling record in years. (The Elevation tour that followed also brought U2 a hefty paycheck.) Steve Lillywhite, producer of the early-'80s landmarks Boy, October, and War, returned to the helm for U2's next record, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Released in November 2004, it hit the top of the Billboard charts and quickly gained platinum status. The album also garnered eight Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year, and Song of the Year (for "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own").

The Subic Bay Hour features Up With People

The Subic Bay Hour interviewed three cool young people, all members of Up With People, a global education organization visiting the Philippines. Armando Gonzalez (Mexico), Brandon Serna (United States) and Sara Persson (Sweden) came by Bay FM to talk about their group's civic activities in Subic Bay Freeport and nearby Olongapo City.

Up With People is an international organization where members (usually with ages ranging from 18 to 29 coming from 21 nations) get to travel to a lot of countries and exchange cultural experiences with their host families. Brandon, Armando and Sara were joined in by Filipina Rachel Peralta, a new member of the organization and their sort of tourist guide who brings them around the place. The four are part of the advance team (another group is in Manila) preparing for the arrival of a bigger contingent that will be staying in the country on December 5-15.



Listen to Armando, Brandon, Sara and Rachel (bright kids all) of Up With People in Episode 23 of the Subic Bay Hour right here.

What's Up, Subic Bay FM?

Bay FM's blog has since been running for less than 9 months now (and will turn exactly 9 months two days from now) and so far, things have been quite steady. Though I really cannot say if the pace at which things have been happening in our efforts to develop this tiny facility is "typical" in radio industry standards.

Even before this blog was created, Bay FM has already spent a good two years and a half in test broadcast. Then when we geeks came in, we did our best to dress up Bay FM in practically all aspects of its operations - programming, imaging, sales, technical, administrative and events. A lot of very helpful people had come and gone, and yet here we are still waiting for the gods of Mt. Olympus to really push the envelope. It has been two years since we geeks came in, so go figure.

But despite all the frustrations we encounter in trying to fast track the purchase of our equipment (government procurement processes really s@#&! Two friggin' years in the making!) and still operating at a pitiful 10% of the required transmission power and hand-me-down studio equipment, I can honestly say that we have at least managed to attain these: An annual budget from SBMA (BayFM is now under its Corporate Communications Group); completion of our new studio and office (which we have yet to inhabit pending our equipment); ADVERTISERS (though a handful they still are); a syndicated national talk show (The Subic Bay Hour with PBS-Radyo ng Bayan which can also be heard through live streaming @ www.pbs.gov.ph); a summer program for student deejays; participation in several big Subic Bay events as media sponsor; and most importantly, loyal local listeners.

For now, we are counting the days when our dear agency finally says: "Approved! Call the supplier and buy the equipment now!" Then, the really difficult and stressful work starts (heaven help us).

It's a good thing this blog is in existence. At least, we get to tell the whole world that, hey, we are here, a tiny radio station in this so-called economically viable, prosperious (so they say) and vast Freeport called Subic Bay. Now, if we can just get BayFM streaming online...

The benefit I got from this job? Down from 140 to 120 lbs. Not bad, eh? It beats going to the gym.

Feature: FALL OUT BOY

With slick production, commercially minded songcraft, and a tabloid-grabbing bassist, Chicago's Fall Out Boy rose to the forefront of emo-pop in the mid-2000s. The band's four members first came together in suburban Wilmette, a bedroom community just 14 miles north of the Windy City, around 2001. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley, and guitarist Joe Trohman had all been in and out of various units connected to Chicago's underground hardcore scene. Most notably, Hurley drummed for Racetraitor, the furiously political metalcore outfit whose brief output was both a rallying point and sticking point within the hardcore community. As Fall Out Boy, the quartet used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk with a heavy debt to the emo scene. They debuted with a self-released demo in 2001, following it up in May 2002 with a split LP on Uprising that also featured Project Rocket (for which Hurley also drummed). The band returned on the label in January with the mini-LP Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girl, but by this point a bidding war of sorts was already in full swing.

Fall Out Boy eventually signed a deal with Gainesville, FL's Fueled by Ramen, the label co-owned by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello, but also received an advance from Island Records to record their proper debut. The advance came with a right of first refusal for Island on Fall Out Boy's next album, but it also financed the recording of Take This to Your Grave, which occurred at Butch Vig's Smart Studios compound in Madison, WI, with Sean O'Keefe (Lucky Boys Confusion, Motion City Soundtrack) at the helm. Take This to Your Grave appeared in May 2003, and Fall Out Boy garnered positive reviews for their gigs at South by Southwest and numerous tour appearances. Their breakout album, the ambitious From Under the Cork Tree, followed in spring 2005, quickly reaching the Top Ten of Billboard's album chart and spawning two Top Ten hits with "Sugar We're Going Down" and the furiously upbeat "Dance, Dance." The album went double platinum, and earned the guys a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.

Fall Out Boy's star status in the underground -- driven by the especially extroverted Wentz, who also gained exposure with his clothing line and Decaydance imprint (of Fueled by Ramen) -- had boiled over into the mainstream. They toured extensively behind the album, both at home and abroad, including spring 2006 arena dates, in addition to appearing on TRL, late-night television, and music award shows. Without taking a break, the guys eventually hunkered down to work on their follow-up record with From Under the Cork Tree producer Neil Avron and, somewhat surprisingly, Babyface. Infinity on High, whose title was taken from a line in one of Van Gogh's personal letters, appeared in early February 2007, spearheaded by the hit single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race." The album continued Fall Out Boy's streak, debuting at number one on the Billboard charts and going platinum about a month later. Released one year later, the CD/DVD package Live in Phoenix documented the band's strength as a flashy live act. (c/o www.AllMusic.com)

Victoria London @ Bay FM

Here's a little known fact about 89.5 Bay FM.

During the early days of the station (my early days at the station, that is), hot international model (and one of FHM's 100 sexiest women for 2008) Victoria London did a couple of radio shows with us in the summer of 07. It was actually her dad (a Subic resident and investor) who talked her into going on board, and get this, doing it pro bono.

Ms. London had a couple of deejay stints at Magic 89.9 and, sure enough, when she graced us radio geeks with her sexy voice over Bay FM's airwaves, practically all the boys in our building dropped everything they were doing just to catch a glimpse of THE Victoria London. Such a good sport she was that she even hosted (sans talent fee) Subic Bay's beach bodies competition, donning one of the sexiest outfits I dare not wear.

Just a few weeks ago, Victoria was back fresh from a modelling stint in Florida, USA to spend some time off here in Subic. Probably still woozy from jetlag, she texted me that she was back and wanted to spend time with us geeks at the station. Well, she did visit us one Saturday when we were doing one of the live episodes of Subic Bay Hour. Right after the show, Noel Estrella of Sibil Subic invited us to his club and chattered over drinks. Anyway, this lady not only has wicked good looks, she also has the brains to boot, being that she is now attending law school in Hongkong.

Though she really wanted to, she hasn't really taken up my offer for her to go on board again (pro-bono of course, we can't afford her lol). But the last time I talked to her, she was ready to go back to Hongkong. Too bad. She had become a real good friend to Bay FM, and me of course (I feel I'm sort of like her older, and way less taller, sister especially when we spend some girl time to talk about the naughtiest things).

Want to know more about Victoria London? Check her out in her multiply site here. You can also directly access info and photos (still with proverbial egg trays in the background) about her stint in Bay FM here.

We will miss you girl! Thanks for being a special part of Bay FM.
