oy ano na?

hi guyz. nagpopost ako kasi nadedepress si allan sa katahimikan ng blog na to. cheer up. di naman ibig sabihin na patay na tayo. busy lang. buti nga may iba tayong inaatupag sa buhay. eventually, we'll be able to fix our skeds and get together again. miss ko na ang da boyz. hehe. dennis, espanyol ulit! sama naman natin si kiel hehe.

kung di lang nga masyadong praning tong kumpanya namin ay laging nakastandby tong blogger dashboard ko para makapagpost ako anytime. well, masama rin yun kasi laging wala rin naman akong maisip so puro nonsense lang din yung mababasa niyo dito hehehe.

So, let's see what we can talk about. Okay, some thoughts on the issue about rip-offs. Mukhang apektadong apektado kasi si Allan dun sa PBB theme. In fairness, katunog talaga ng verse! Ang weird nga nung nabasa ko na sabi ng guy na after taking a good look at both songs, they conclude that they each have their merits that make them individual treasures or something like that (i freely paraphrase here, of course). Ngyar. Pero di lang naman sila. Ang daming katunog diyan. i heard that one band denies they've ever heard of "greatest view", even if it was a big hit a few years back. and another parries their own rip-off issue with, "we admit we're fans of this band... that's it."

But here's the thing: Sige, no one can help songs sounding like each other cuz almost everything's been done already... especially if you're a fan and you have a tendency to emulate what you admire. but man, there's a difference between emulating and ripping off. the worst part is that you're making money off this. if you're really fans, shouldn't you be carefully watching out for the degree of rip-off you're doing?

oh well, this is a bit off self-righteous bull, i admit. but it's just common sense. being fans, they should have been able to tell they were getting too close for comfort.
