This is the morning shocker tt i got when opened my email...

Email
WTF? Some company wants to feature one of my song in their compilation CD?! Wah either i'm dreaming or wot man. Yea but it's true. It's the real deal, though i've never heard of HLB Entertainment before. Cos the email's sent through Soundclick. Which means they've heard the songs there, and are kinda "impressed" with some of our stuff.
Hey before u guys congratulate me for finally making it or smthing, lemme tell u smthing. I'm dun really think it's gonna happen. Here's why:
  1. I believe the company is based in the US. And we're in Singapore. Unless they really think the current songs are "CD-quality", we'd definitely need to re-record. Dun really think they are gonna fly us there to record our music right. And it's just 1 song. Think abt it. Not gonna happen.
  2. Yea like Kai said, might be just a sham after all (tho i dun think tt way)
  3. I replied them already. But they havent gotten back to me. Maybe they are not interested anymore? Probably.
  4. One thing tt concerns me is the ownership of the music. Probably they just want our song, but NOT US playing it. Yea u get what i mean? Maybe they'd find some band to play our song or smthing man. Tt bugs me. My music is mine.
  5. Of course who can miss out royalties man. If the deal pulls thru i highly doubt we'll get paid la. But ain't it a lose-win situation?

Wei Ye says it's good publicity. But in the US?! Like we are ever gonna make it big and fly over there and hold a concert and ask all our groupies "HAVE U GOTTEN THE HOT LIVE BANDS COMPILATION?!?! IT'S GOT US INSIDE!! SO GET IT AT THE BOOTH BEHIND UR SORRY ASSES!"

Not gonna happen.

BUT (yea there's a big but) I definitely happy to see tt at least there's some form of GENUINE appreciation of my music. Which is good. This gives me motivation to improve. At least i'm heading in the right direction, wherever i'm heading that is.

Had a big argument last night with Tele Boy abt the whole band thingy. So it seems like i'm taking it too seriously already. So sorry all my groupies. There will not be any concerts for ur to come and mosh in the near future, or maybe it's never gonna happen. Yea we are just gonna be a bedroom band and forever be one.

So be it then.
