Before transferring to Pasig, I took pictures of the studio. I knew I would miss it, every part of it, so I took shots of all of it - the amps, guitars, speakers, microphone and fan; the posters of great musicians, the egg trays, and the LPs tacked on the wall; and the bright red cushions, the green carpet, and the white walls. I also took pictures of the vandals in some parts of the walls, names written with black markers announcing they've been there or that they weren''t dead and of etches of a 6-point star on one tarpaulin I have of Muziklaban. Martha tells me that the people behind these vandals are members of 'punk bands.' Ah, thus the vandalism, a statement against 'the man?' After all, I did write down as a rule to "please not vandalize any part of the studio."

I find it rather stupid that they find vandalizing the studio as some sort of rebellion or punk-ness. I mean really stupid. First of all, I am not 'the man.' I do not in any way oppress any type of people - not musicians, not the poor, and certainly not women. In fact, I believe I am helping people what with the low rates of the studio, the relaxed amosphere the studio offers, the definitely non-coercive type of handling renters. The studio can never be more indie, too. It is practically non-profit, what with our cash out still not met by income, with the owners doing the labor themselves (e.g., keeping records, attending to customers, maintaining equipments, sweepingand waxing floors, cleaning the toilet, dusting the ceiling and equipments, et cetera), with the studio literally built by family and friends, and most of the equipments bought second-hand. So to vandalize the studio is stupid because it achieves no point, political or otherwise. It is also a waste of ink. So it is not in any way rebellious or punk, because it actually works in the opposite context. It is in fact being one with the system, 'the man,' as it discourages, makes work harder, and does not support indie activities and underground efforts at providing venues to express and create.

Punk should not be used as an excuse to be stupid, you know?
