Mabuhay!

	 We are first year students of Philippine Normal University
and are currently working for our thesis about piracy which is our
project in Economics. For some information that we need to know, we
prepared questions for you guys that we‘¦re hoping you‘¦ll answer.

  1. What can you say about the piracy here in the Philippines?
  2. How does it affect you as an artist?
  3. What do you think is the effect of piracy in our economy?
  4. Do you consider downloading from the net and CD burning a form
of piracy?
  5. What do you think are the reasons why most Filipinos prefer to
buy pirated CDs, VCDs and DVDs than purchasing original ones?

	 We‘¦re very grateful to have you answer this. Just please
send in your reply to any of the following e-mail addresses:

„« akosieiypee07@...
„« tweed_11@...
„« meili_sasah@...

	 We wanted to ask you these questions personally but we know
you guys are all busy. Have a nice and blessed day ahead‘K Thanks for
being part of our thesis..=D Keep safe guys..

Bloomfields – let the fields bloom!

The Bs – or liking them – is culture-bound.  First-timers – young or
old – have always been captive audience.  To think that it is just
some purely rock and roll stuff ought to be rather unbelievable.  One
then tends to ask – what is with the Bs that is well, not found in
another pack of `rockers and rollers' in a `rocker-roller musical ride'?

	 We all love cool stuff, don't we?  And Central Plaza or Fuente Circle
in Eastwood is venue for the Bs' regular Wednesday gig although CP is
still under renovation.  FC provides a less than panoramic view with
its rather makeshift stage compared to CP.  Sadly, CP is not about to
open soon – not next week, not next month, not likely soon. FC or CP
doesn't really matter, does it?  Rock where the Bs rock, roll where
they roll.  For life is music.  And music of this type sets toes on
fire.

	 Karl Popper wrote the book, "The Open Society and Its Enemies" and
the Bs, like its counterparts knew this as a reality.  No one is
perfect.  Every band, worth its salt, strives for perfection and the
Bs is no exception.  Sadly, others are simply too quick to judge –
even have to rob their own sense of pessimism to the more adoring
patrons of Bs.  Viewed differently, critics are doing the Bs a favor –
not a disservice.

Or, so I thought.  There simply are a lot of options on how one can
best promote a musical group and the Bs has started to invade the boob
tube, the radio waves, the print, and even the web.  While Eastwood is
home to the Bs and their adoring fans as it is with maybe – the Blue
Wave in Macapagal Avenue, or Aruba in Mall of Asia, or Bellevue Hotel
in Alabang, or Ricco Renzo Bar in Makati – it is of no real moment
where the gigs break.  Truth is, you can take the Bs out of Eastwood.

	 Bs performs in a quite borderless environment.  Hawaii and Hongkong
registered in the musical Richter scale when the Bs touched everyone
with their familiar tunes, antics, and perhaps signature voices.  Only
George knows how many invitations or requests have to be turned down
owing to the Bs' fully-booked schedule until the 1st quarter of next
year.  If that were any reliable gauge, it tells us that perhaps, the
Bs is the highest paid band in the local music scene.  That is not
said as to attract violent reactions from some quarters, though.

	 Of late, undoubtedly, the Bs attempted to experiment on various other
stuffs.  Jayjay even tried brass – blowing the trumpet – and maybe the
sound produced fell flat with what we normally expect from a
trumpeter.  But even if Jayjay may have been not much of a trumpeter –
so be it.  Trumpets probably match better with jazz music (or so I'm
wrong?).  Other songs have likewise been sung by the Bs – one caught
fire – `Obladi, Oblada'.  In itself, every gig is a social experiment
in its musical acceptability.  Playing new instruments, singing new
songs, morphing into dancers than rock and roll artists – all these –
are virtual questions in a survey.

	 What is wrong with trying to know what appeals to the taste or liking
of a larger, less homogenous, more varied audiences?  Kids love the
Bs, no matter what.  Teenagers as much as love them, too.  Adults – or
those born from the 1950s to the 1960s – are willing victims,
matter-of-factly.  Just everyone can really like them perform where
they do although perhaps, the Bs' first debut with foreign stand outs
could have been that – in the Gary Lewis and the Playboys concert at
the Araneta Coliseum or the big damned dome.

	 Not too many people know that the Bs come with their families.   They
listen, too.  If every member of the Bs is friend to one another (is
there any other option left?), their parents unto other parents are,
too.  There ought to be a larger circle of families or friends coming
into the gigs for a much-deserved respite from routine, boredom, that
rat race called living in a cosmopolitan jungle.

	 The Bs are just boys who don't have to descend from their Ivory
Towers to send across a message.  They are what you see, individually
and collectively – soft-spoken, courteous, meek, average.  No one
tends to turn down anyone for a `photo-ops' with each or all of them.
  Too obliging, too warm, too accessible.  Perhaps, they love the
audience and the crowd as much as their fans love them.

	 Funny but true, the rains seem to be `kill joy' at Eastwood last 14
November.  And who would like to get wet in an evening of great
musical numbers?  But none of us want to get wet, do we?  And great
musical bands are not at all that scarce.  They even have their own
websites and I must state that if you ever wish to `sign in' – bring
an umbrella with you.

	 The point I am trying to drive at is this – there are other websites
or links hostile to the Bs.  Any of these could get you wet.  In other
words, sometimes we can't really think that loud.  Fact is, an
audience's round of applause for the Bs might be enough to break the
ear drums of Bs' unpatronizing audience.

	 For those of us who never miss a gig at Eastwood on a Wednesday
night, evenings are safe but even the place is not at all `off-limits'
to even the non-adoring viewers.  Be the better judge whether a
first-time visit deserves a second time.  Meantime, let the Bs do the
rock and roll – beyond its limits.  So guys, how about seeing you at
Eastwood come 21st of November?

It's probably the best performance by the Bs in a mall setting.

The songs were so skillfully 'ordered' one after another to bring
about the desired effect - it connects real cool with all the audience.

As to the Fuente Circle's gigs last November 14, what can I say?

One can really be proud of the Bs!  The social contagion or mass
hypnosis is there.

hi guys kamusta?

Let us please be careful in our postings.

We might just have entered lion's dens as there are music websites
largely unpatronizing of the B's.

It is really unfortunate when that happens as the moderator and
administrator themselves appear to countenance the impropriety of
their posters and threaders.

My friends, this is just a word of caution.

Bloomfields' walk to fame!

	 At the rate and pace it goes, the fast-emerging retro band – the
Bloomfields – will soon become a national security issue.  There might
come a time when there are more children, kids, teens, young girls and
boys, even adults from across the age spectrum found in Eastwood (and
beyond) than in their respective places of abode.  When this happens,
the National Security Adviser is well-advised to keep tabs of this
development before everything goes out of hand.  Sounds McCarthyst?
No sir, but it is not an overstatement to say that all we see on the
surface of this little localized `planet' is a rock band now known to
an expanding population of kindred souls.  The Bloomfields – Jayjay,
Pepe, Louie, Lakan, and Rocky – at the exclusion of all other bands is
now making the waves.  And soon enough, everybody else will see them
coming.

	 That 31st of October in Eastwood is truly awesome, by Rocky's very
words.  Indeed, it was never like that before as an entirely very
juvenile group, aged 3 to 19 from presumably middle class families –
invade Fuente Circle in Eastwood – to get a piece of the action.  All
tables were filled – not few – were standing but glued to the show
they are watching.  It was such an evening and Pepe, some minutes
before the show has reason to be worried as to be apologetic that they
might already be some kind of a `bad influence' to my three kids.
Thinking out loud, the Bloomfields is not a bad influence to my kids.
  To us parents – the kids are.  The `generation gap' has just been
bridged by this evolving and patronizing fondness for the members of
the band.  To see other parents with their kids as well truly relieve
us from any moral responsibility over our own.  Right or wrong, music
is all there is to it.

	 The original pack of bloomies doubled in size that evening and it is
axiomatic that parents have become the bad influence over their own
kids as they trooped to Eastwood for what was to be a simple Halloween
party.  There is no passing the buck now.  In the spirit of clean and
wholesome fun, the Bloomfields met the universal criteria of what a
good rock band is.  Some degree of TV exposure is partly responsible
for this craze.  Now more people will go to where they will find the
Bloomfields in their regular gigs – north, south, east and west of
Manila.  It is not about how much one family will shell out for each
viewing session.  It is a common therapy from our pestering collective
existence in a country ran by evil-doers, bootlickers, criminals in
uniforms, `commissioners'.

	 Bloomfields is set to become the next phenomenal rock band.  Its
mercurial rise to fame is a group project, call it that.  Molecular
Louie – less `eye contact' with a revering audience – is superb by any
standard.   Leader-of-the-band Jayjay is not King Creole for nothing –
long live Jayjay.  Magnetic Pepe and his glueing stare – full eye
contact (and its captives)  -  is no age-specific (pardon me).  Lakan
and his rare voice put more fingers to the keys than are necessary.
Rocky-drummer boy Rocky discovers every new tone where he hits his
sticks to.  Even George, the disc-jockey out of the box has voice that
is too prompting.  All the six are definitely doomed to fame, if you
follow my drift.  After all, each performance is created as though it
were the last and thus, the musical recital is one for Guinness.

	 Not surprisingly, no two performances of Bloomfields leave the same
and identical trace.  Each performance is always different from the
last – the relationship being moment-specific.  Thus, it does not bore
anyone who goes to Eastwood as a matter of unstoppable habit or
addiction.  There could really be one of a problem on whether
Bloomfields can connect to all kinds of people in the Great Cultural
Divide.  Mall experience tells us that indeed, in mall tours,
Bloomfields does not quite connect with the rest of the pack.  More TV
appearances at drowning frequency may yet be necessary to pole-vault
the retro band to highest status as the `national rock band'.
Eastwood, Blue Wave, Aruba, or else where – these are but music
laboratories for just the middle class of society writ large.

	 Whatever segment of our realpolitik Bloomfields' brand of rock music
caters to – is of no moment.  If others will tend to accuse the group
for its inherent middle class bias, let them be proven wrong.  In
music, there are no social classes.  No such thing as elitist rock.
Remember  that if we light others' candles, we don't have to lose the
light.  Thus, if Bloomfields are out there to pluck their guitars,
punch their keyboard, bang their cymbals, hit their drums – perform to
their own excesses – let the listener be the better judge.  A lot of
people from all walks of life love the Bloomfields.   Whether there is
only one Wednesday in a week, in a month, in a year, or in a lifetime,
it is worth listening to this band – one gig at a time.
