Cobra Starship’s made it onto Rolling Stone’s Top Tracks with the song “Good Girls Go Bad” feat. Leighton Meester (Blair from Gossip Girl)! I’m excited for them. Just hope they don’t go to the dark side of commercial crap. Doubt they will, Gabe Saporta is the leader of the band, after all.

“The music business has always been corrupt but the art itself saves us time and time again and so we adapt by developing Rhino hide in order to get paid for what we are truly in love with and good at. Big sigh.”-Andre Passis

“The business or what's left of it is littered with the trash that greed
always leaves behind.”-Joel Sill

“The endless games you learn to play; the lack of fighting spirit on the part of the song writers;
the lack of a song writing community;  the lack of any "power" on the part of the song writers as they are taught to believe they are totally dispensable, replaceable,
("if you don't behave we'll use someone else's song on the record") ---low man on the proverbial music totem pole. Wow!  Really??? Go write your own shit
which some artists inevitably do although they can't write.  Which reminds me---do you iknow the one about the song writer who has to sit with the
recording artist who can't write at all but hold his/her hand and then give them credit as a writer of the song even though THEY CAN'T WRITE???
Swallow that.  Quietly.

Yeah. I know. I'm venting.
I was angry 30 years ago when a DJ at a radio station told me to blow him or he wouldn't play my song on his station; when my Record Company A&R guy
wouldn't stop eating his Chinese food and talk to me about my record even though I flew 3,000 miles for the appointment; when, when when........
I'm going to stop now.  I'm not having a pity party.  I'm having a "someone tell the fucking truth, already" celebration because it's time...” –Ellen Shipley

Interesting insight into the music business. Never knew it was this corrupt. Never even thought of the term “corrupt” to describe it.

Arctic Monkeys’ lyrics for the new album were stolen! Thank goodness Alex managed to write all of it again. I can’t wait! And I still have to get Favourite Worst Nightmare.

Went to get a free haircut at Taka with Wee Kee and Sharry accompanying me, it was Wee Kee’s friend that cut my hair, he’s a trainee but I think he’s better than the previous hairstylists I had. He cut my hair for nearly 2 hrs. And his “shifu” had to come and check now and then, and he ended up layering my hair brutally, which turned out beautifully. Turns out a normal haircut by him costs a whopping $600. Wee Kee’s friend told us that the cheapest haircut at the salon costs $158. Whoa. But its Kim Robinson after all. I did not expect the salon to be Kim Robinson, and I must say the interior design of the salon is really nice. You can order food and reception when you’re getting a haircut or waiting. Its so much classier than Reds.

Anyway, final EE draft due on Monday. Playmax dry run tomorrow. Off to watch Ugly Betty. And the Grey’s Anatomy finale is soooo tragic. Very sad ending, but hmm. Its the only way to end the season when some actors are leaving the show.
