Nice of you doing all the pants dropping favors.

I'm not interested in c grade musician scandals and 3rd world marketing strategy hypes really,I wish you all the best and I'm unsubscribing notification from this thread heh

 

[daryle]

alamak ron!

that's harsh man!

 

[blueprintstudios]

daryle : Hmm oops I realized I placed "musician" wrongly.I meant c grade sexual scandal of musicians nothing against their music.just the droppin pants thing.lame haha my bad

Likui : "You're welcome" for me to bump this band thread for ya

 

[daryle]

hahhaahahhaa.

Actually i've been following this thread right from the start. Just wanted to see what would happen next.

Anyway, i liked "Believe". I thought it was a very interesting piece of art. Best of luck!



....And Ron! That track on your website.. "The Sallys Track 10". It sounds awesome man!!!! Great Music!!!

Daryle : you know what i mean by the 3rd world marketing. First you do an innocent intro, then stir controversy shit, then expect people to fall for it, then everything seems to be suddenly all at peace and talking about hints of anything considered "sexy" cos sex sells and bump up thread at the same time etc.seen all that before.I haven't heard the music but if such a lame stunt is being pulled I'm pretty sure it's to make up for somethin lackin. Hardass? Maybe.. That's why mr nice guy James created www.music412.com (still feel that it sounds like some gangster code "you from 412?")

thanks for the compliments man though it was done 3 years ago.. We can talk about that in private =)

 

[daryle]

ah.. yes yes.

I know exactly what you're referring to, but i never really expected to see that on our level?

This thread can be a case study! haha.

I did follow the 'scandal' for awhile.. it did gain my attention. But you're right. It didn't make the music sound any better.

Really goes to show, if your work is good, people will come to you. There won't be much need for publicity stunts.

What the hell are u thinking man? LOL I am actually telling a true case scenario here, and Likui was like dont really know what belt can do wonders to a dropping pants...asking a favor can u please tug the sides of my pants coz im carrying a big box of cds. Its really dropping... For God's sake, what marketing strategy are u all guys thinking off here?

3rd World Marketing? 3rd World?????? Does it exist?
Guys, If you gonna die tomorrow or the next day, do you think you're still a part of the 1st World ? Youre gonna be part of the rotting world 6 feet underground and the worms gonna eat all your flesh like what the children in Africa have experienced. So go and be happy for a while that you are part of that GREAT FIRST WORLD coz sooner or later the worms will feast ur flesh and ur no greater than any of the world that you know.

For all the songs that I have done, I cannot even name one single note in it..who cares about notes? who cares about chords? I can make a melody and I can write lyrics in it...

Im going to die some day but I can still have tell you all that before worms have eaten my flesh i have given you a message THAT YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT and BE WHOEVER YOU WANNA BE...if you have Listened to my song " Believe"

[acousticdiva]

What level you're at? When you're already 6 feet underground the worms would rot in your face...you may be happy for a while now that youre living and u can boast all people that ur greater than anybody else,...but just for a while few years later...the worms will feast on u coz ure gonna be a part of that "6 feet underground world"...just like anybody who have boasted about how theyve been a part of that first world country many years ago and now theyre all dead and decaying skeletons in the cemetery...

ah.. yes yes.

I know exactly what you're referring to, but i never really expected to see that on our level?

[daryle]

ah..... i have no idea what you're saying being about 6 feet underground or being a first world or third world country. I can tell you one thing though: Ron won't be replying to this thread anymore. Only i am still here, and that's because i'm really bored these few days.

Anyway, by "level", i meant i wasn't expecting to see what Ron called "a 3rd world marketing strategy" on soft.com.


I totally understand what you're saying about yourself. Or maybe not totally, but i think what you're trying to say is that you're just enjoying life, enjoying music, enjoying art for what it is. I share your views if that's what you're trying to tell me.


I was just having a discussion with Ron that's all. No boasting going on here




P.S: If you think Ron was referring to your home country when he said "3rd world marketing strategy", please rest assured. He wasn't in anyway insulting your home country. We DO NOT condone insulting any race, religion, culture, or ethnic groups on the forum.

1) bump. you're welcome.
daryle : i check music kopitiam all the time though so I might as well redeem myself here since she has totally misinterpreted what I said.

2) acoustic diva : you type more than you read. now READ properly. I hope you sing more than you type.

3) thanks to you, the next time one of the lines i could use getting happy time from my wife when carrying my recording gear will be "honey my pants are droppin'"

4) you obviously never worked in sales/marketing/retail and if I really had to literally rephrase/relate what I meant by 3rd world > you're a sitting duck for nigerian scams. they're gonna tell you you strike the lottery, you have Monopoly milliondollar investment,they're gonna tell you they love you like akon smackthats all his women, and they're gonna tell you to come libya/kenya/whateverya to go meet them and then on your way to transit back to SG you find your luggage full of heroin and you get hanged. con-troversial strategy via emotions/sincerity. allow me to re ask the question , so likui first spams, then you supersoaker negativity here + fb, then later I say oh it's ok sorry to hear that, then later you say he's forgiven and he's all good and the droppantsjob thing then now you're trying to take a crap on me? I'm not the one who's fickleminded here woman. and yes I'm taking a shot personally at nigerian-con-men (read : not all nigerians) now cos I have someone related in jail for 10 years thanks to them.

now read again, "3rd world marketing strategy hype" and "Marketing Strategy hyped by/from 3rd world people" is a HUGE difference. I've rephrased myself "C grade musician scandals" (reads insulting your musicianship as c grade) and "Musician C grade scandals" (musicians having a B grade leaked scandal that's like politician/edisonchen" but C grade cos they broadcast themselves) therefore by "level" , I believe daryle meant it's usually done only by famous people/celebrities. not "our NORMAL level". why? do you personally feel that you're lower than the NORMAL level? =)

5) you sound very naively-misled by what you misread and emotionally driven. now go seek forth to write more inspirational songs.

6) country talk : I believe you're from the philipines? hi nice to meet you, I have the surname of the 1st emperor of china and I'm half indochinese/peranakan, my late granddad spoke japanese (Syonan To-nian) and I truly believe my earlier heritage were from immigrants/permanent citizens from anywhere else in the world, 100% singaporean cos I served NS/Reservist , topup my cashcard to deduct ERP and I have to vote. therefore, I'm just "same level" human like you and your parents being in SG.except with a pink I/C.

remember to like this plus previous post above..

 

[ridethetiger]

I seriously don't think acousticdiva and likui are putting on publicity stunts to increase their album sales. It is only people who are highly suspicious that are putting on some sort of stunts here.
Come on la, u have to get to know both their character first,when someone block someone in FB or MSN, u gotta read into the characters of both first.

 

[blueprintstudios]

1) Confession :

that's the idea, so u get to check my facebook wall lol

2) latest update on their FB : oh hey, all the negative jizm by Ms Beverly here has magically disappeared and now they're a match made in heaven.

3) but guess what goes on the net stays on the net .
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...=sg&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com.sg <-- ohoh painful =)
let me know if links goes down I have the hardcopy truth saved on my com.

So Ms fransisco, have you gotten your 5 souvenir copies for dear senior Mr&Mrs fransisco yet?

ridethetiger : agreed. that's why I added/msged her on FB to find out more sides of the story.. then now I've deleted.

so who still thinks I'm pulling a publicity stunt? I definitely didn't start this lol I only felt sorry for acousticdiva when she was ignored and vocalmusicianship insulted by her recording/mixing/mastering guitarist but turns out I wasn't feeling sorry for her but feeling sorry for how a band could take on a controversial marketing hype just to hopefully increase cd sales. Has local scene support/hype gone this direction? hope not.

 

[blueprintstudios]

well I did the recording and mixing and mastering.

bandcamp : Audio engineers - Matthew, Audio engineers from Beat merchant, Tharenii and Julius.

how unethical get your credits right.
hafiz of beat merchants studios
tharenii of white noise studios
and julius , well does it happen to be julius chua (softie : doubleblade) of audioinsanity studios?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

hehe, patterns more than badminton, chut stunts more then jackie chan!

Thanks @ Ridethe tiger... Ive actually have gotten my most precious 3 copies of this album...You are right why will I put on a publicity stunt if at the first place I cannot even get support from my own bandmate to practice. Have ignored my calls and sms for 2 weeks and block me in facebook. If that would go on, I would certainly not approve that he will continue selling it while I was like... I dont even have a copy??? If Matthew continues to do these bad behaviors, all I wanted was to get my own copy of the album and let him do whatever he wanted. I think he enjoys and prefers performing alone. Coz whatever request for practice I wanted to ask, it will never be heard by him.

I am not counting much on this band...But I have left 6 songs for you to hear...

 

[soft]

Ok, let's concentrate on the music. Let the individuals sort out their own issues.

 

[Likui]

I certainly never thought about all these stuff, I just wanted to let u guys know my music existed. Why I said that's the idea, because when shit happens try to look at the positive side and make do with whatever stuff that happens. I don't want to insult anyone don't say bad things just make the best out of the situation that has gone bad.

 

[ridethetiger]

"always look at the bright side of life" eh? not bad,but have you considered what acousticdiva felt? if she wants to take it a step further,and what's been writen on your hardcopy's sleeves, then maybe she can even sue u for certain reasons. No, i'm not trying to scare u,but its' a fact. Just be more tactful whatever your artistic reason is for shunning her off.
