ANO ANG DAPAT PALAKASIN? (Indie music at hindi ang mainstream OPM)

Ano ang dapat palakasin? Ang indie music and mainstream OPM?

Ang dapat palakasin ay ang kapangyarihan ng bawat Pilipino sa industriya ng musika, upang makapagdesisyon ng sarili para maitahak ang tamang direksyon ng musikang Pilipino. Dapat palakasin ang ekonomiyang istruktura sa musikang pilipino upang maitaguyod ang musikerong Pilipino sa sarili nitong kakayahang pangpinansyal.

Kailangan palakasin ang mga organisasyon sa musika na tunay na nagtataguyod sa kapakanan ng mga musiko, kaugnay sa mga pangangailangang pangkaligtasan, kalusugan at karapatan. Kailangan palakasin ang mga oportunidad sa lahat ng larangan ng media para marinig ang musikang Pilipino, bago man o luma.

Hindi dapat palakasin ang musikang matagal nang malakas at naghahari sa ere, at malaki na ang kinita ng mga nasa mapang-aping mga istruktura na tumatapak sa mga maliliit na mga musiko, mga-aawit at kompositor.

Hindi dapat palakasin ang mga organisasyon na matagal nang naghahari sa industriya at hindi man nakakatulong sa mga musikerong nagkakasakit, nakandamatay na o tumanda na ng wala man lang pagkilala sa kontribusyon sa industriya. Hindi dapat palakasin ang mga organisasyong nagpapanggap na kumakatawan ng nakararaming musiko, mang-aawit at kompositor at patuloy na naglalahad ng mga huwad na programang hindi naman nakakatulong sa mas nakararaming kalahok sa industriya ng musika.

Maging mulat sa katothanan. Ito ay isang maiking mensahe ng INDIEPINOY sa Musikang Pilipino. INDIEPINOY- EMPOWERING THE INDEPENDENT FILIPINO ARTISTS.

Our blog update

I have decided to host my blog on my own website located at nolits.com. You can now visit this link and it contains all other information of me and my works. Although its still a work in progress as we are populating the contents especially the art and photo galleries and other literature stuff. I think this will take forever. So it would be wise to visit our site from time to time to see any updates. There are other parts of the site which I am still undecided, like on how to manage the Phoney Talks and how to post all the essays and literature I have created. Also on how I will showcase the comics section. These are a lot of things that will surely keep me busy.

As for the blogspot, I am retaining it as a mirror from the main site which is hosted on my own nolits.com. You can view new entries as what I post on my own blog will be reposted on blogspot automatically. (fingers crossed) You can leave comments but don’t expect me to answer soon as I will not be as active as I am on nolits.com.

That is for now. Catch you later.

I am back!!

I finally decided I am reviving this blog and will continue to input more entries from time to time. It has been over a decade since I last placed an entry. In fact I think it was still with multiply when I was active in this blog thing. After giving some thought, I decided to give it a go again.

So, I will be discussing things that come to my mind. I wont be too much of a political but you cannot avoid it as everything is political. I will put in some tutorial stuff, about music, about recording, technical stuff in electronics, arts, and anything under the sun. I will also be posting here artworks I have done over the years. Visual arts, music, and everything in between. I will try to make categories on this blog so it would be easy to follow especially if you have just got here late and there are tons of entries already.

I had plenty of blogs before. I think my first blog was written on BBS or the Bulletin Board System which I used to run in the 90s, where the internet was not yet the in thing and what we do is dial up modem to modem. Then I had my website which also contains a blog. There was also the basspage, the nolit.i.com and the nolitsite which is still running. I have a blog on my nolits studio page but I will only post what is happening on the studio in that page. I will not post music tutorials and other stories there. It will be here. I will not post family stuff, as I will be doing it on my facebook page.

I think you now have a general picture on what this blog will be all about. You will see articles, tutorials, discussions, and a gallery of my art. It is a variety of topics. So be prepared.

Let’s start rocking!!!!
