maRtiN’s cUbicLE: The Chronicles of “Being Grown Up” and “Growing Up”…

soooo… last time i was complaining in my last fs blog post about fs’ stupidity in which they combined their ‘comments’ altogether with ‘testimonials’… having been away from my laptop for like couple of days, i was shocked when i opened this music blog i usually visit on a daily (or perhaps, hourly) basis. fyi, i always visit some music blogs that post full albums of bands that fits my style… blogspot server-ed blogs like imthescene, thescenealbums, n couples of others just like the kinixtion link i posted above… speaking of which, some of u might have clicked on the kinixtion link n wonder where the hell is the music n the albums since there’s only 2 useless posts n one pure white blank background… n that’s exactly why i was shocked the time i opened that blog 20 mins ago…

reading the comments on both posts n consequently opening this forum thread (which, if u scroll to the end u’ll find out the whole story), it seems that kinixtion had been sued for posting albums of eyeball records’ artists on their blog… n what’s more funny of it, eyeball records sued kinixtion for a fixed amount derived from a moronic reasoning that one access to a particular post equals to one album being purchased…!!!

personally, i don’t think that kinixtion is the ultimate wrong party… i found out many great bands through this blog that i wouldn’t have otherwise found… it is the quickest one in terms of updates as compared to other music blogs… n as for me, i did download music from kinixtion, but i did bought cds i think worth buying even though i digitally had them downloaded already…!! i had the new ataris cd with me, new found glory’s coming home album, the used’s berth, n some others… n one other great thing of kinixtion is that they have so many posts ranging from well-known bands like red hot chili peppers up to those out of the blue such that u actually discover great music!!

but then again, i know they infringe the mighty copyright act… they take away people’s royalty… but hey, how much goes to the artists’ pockets off of one cd being sold? they make more money through concerts! n how can they make money through concert? by more people coming to the concerts! n how can more people come to concerts? by having more people aware that the bands exist and that they play good music! n that’s exactly one good thing kinixtion do!!! i, as i’m sure many people do, discover great music from such music blogs!!!

speaking of royalty, copyright, n shits like that, i once read this official myspace blog of funeral for a friend, in which they talk about how they are done with recording their new album which will be released this may, n they say, "…we seriously can’t wait until May for you guys to hear it, or maybe earlier if it leaks on the net (hey, we’re realists!)…" u see… even artists are realists! hohoh… i like these blokes… hahahah…

so yeah… with kinixtion going down, i lose one out of couples of music blog i know… but the journey will always go on… hahahh… leave me a msg if u want the URLs to these blogs i know… hahah… n keep the great-bands-n-music-found-outs continued… hohohoh…

oh n btw, do visit my newly made myspace account here n do add me to ur friend list if u have myspace account… hohohoh…
