black dog dream sequence music video
Genre: punk, alternative, indie, emo, grunge, screamo, classic rock, etc.
Gene strobe comes from gin strawberry or gin strawb (read by some as "strobe"). hence the name.
The members of my band are me (in vocals), j--- (in lead guitars), r-- (in bass) and s--- (in drums).
The since takes place inside our high school classroom (we're college freshies now by the way). We are in our school uniform. We would be performing "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin. I would first sing the accapela part (the song alternates between accapella and riffs). Close-up in the camera. I am the only person present in the frame. Background: high school corridor. At the end of the first accapella part my bandmates would appear out of nowhere and they would shove their hands against my hair. Next: music silence. Close-up of finger plucking the lead guitars. Close-up of fingers plucking the bass guitar and close-up of shoe hitting the pedal of the drums.
Random thought: I want to watch National Treasure now!!!
Wearing our blue school uniform, we begin to trash the classroom. Me, r-- and s--- smoke (j--- does not smoke) and me and r-- try to piss of s--- by grabbing his cigarette when he tries to puff it. We would try the cigarette butts everywhere. We would throw it in the floor. We would throw it in the ice tea. We then begin to jump between tables (while still playing and carrying our instruments). Me and r-- would eventually body slam each other in between tabkes and we would fall down with a thud. S--- would drink from his ice tea. While he is not looking, I would throw chalk and cigarettes into the ice tea and he would then drink it without knoing what really happened. In the middle of the song a live performance of the band is shown accentuated with overhead lights and smoke (the source: unknown!).
Sometimes, there would be a scene where we would push s--- over the ledge (our room was on the second floor) outside of the window. There is also a point were all of us would jump over the ledge (posing ala-High School Musical). There is also a point where I will jump from the ledge with the wries for the guitar was wrapped around my body. Because of my jump, the amplifier would be pulled to the window. Aside from that, my guitar wire was heavily entangled with the guitar wires of other members of the band. As a consequence, they will also be pushed from the ledge. The video would end with the band thrashing their instruments. Guitars were smashed on floors, amplifiers, tabletops and overturned tables.
The End.

From Gadfly Society
Remember, remember the 30th of December
A blue-blooded mason was shot
We know of no reason
Why this blue-blooded mason
Should ever be forgot
Good day!
Allow us first to apologize for this intrusion of ours. We do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. We enjoy them as much as anyone would. But in the spirit of commemoration - whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the beginning of some bloody revolution, are celebrated with a nice holiday. We thought we could mark this December the 30th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking sometime out of our daily lives to sit down and think for a while.
There are of course those who do not want us to speak. In fact even now, as they read through this, they are already closing their minds to the truth that we speak and brand us as cowards and mere ranters. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words are the means to meaning; for those who will listen – the enunciation of truth. And the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country and our own Ateneo community. We have cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression, poverty and suffering – all these feasting upon our apathy, ignorance, and inaction. But while some have the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you are called destabilizers and anarchists – coercing your conformity, and soliciting your submission and consent. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others. They will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only to look at a mirror. We know why you did it. You were afraid, who wouldn't be? With everyone trying to live a happy, care-free, and comfortable life, only someone deranged would go out of his/her way and act. Everyone is pre-occupied with the worries and demands of mere living – getting high grades, being appreciated by parents, connecting with friends, finding a life-partner, celebrating victories and achievements, mourning over failures and disappointments. There were a myriad of problems that conspire to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear, apathy, and inaction got the best of you. You are resigned to conform and remain silent.
This year, we sought to end that silence. This year, the Society disturbed you from your dwellings of comfort, to remind you what you have forgotten. More than 100 years ago, a group of young men dreamt of a nation that is theirs and the greatest of them died a martyr's death by gunfire. Our only hope is that his death will not be in vain. We may be free from the colonizers of past, but are we truly a nation worthy of the blood of our heroes? Do our actions give honor to the people who came before us and to the future that lies beyond us? Fairness, justice, freedom, democracy, and nationhood are more than just words. They are perspectives. So if you see nothing, if the crime of inaction remains unknown to you, we would suggest that you allow the 30th of December to pass unmarked. But if you see what we see, if you feel as we feel, and if you would seek as we seek. Then prove yourselves worthy to be called the hope of the motherland. Take a stand and stop thinking of yourself alone! Futures are destroyed for every second of your inaction.
If only we can be true men and women of a nation forged in the blood of heroes - only then can we give that blue-blooded mason, a 30th of December that shall never, ever be forgot!
