on a lark

we made it past the second round of eliminations for the 2007 world battle of the bands!

on behalf of my nice sexy happy go lucky wonderful bandmates, i profess neverending gratitude to each and every single voter that voted for the band! this is a victory in and of itself, which is to say i'm very happy! but nevertheless a crease forms on my forehead everytime i think about how this is all going to end, because we want to win, and with every passing round the stakes are getting higher and higher and i just want to put the album out already and stuff.

we joined wbob at the suggestion of the real christian bautista without much planning, the thought process was "hey we need a song that you haven't released that has been recorded nicely that you want to put on the radio" and shirley was all "we have an album that is yet to be released that we just recorded!" and so we sent it in, 100,000 pesos and singapore in our heads.

and we didn't really campaign at the start, it was more like "hey vote for us if you have load" and people would be all "sure!" and somehow we got into the top 10 and now there's this pressure to just keep voting and voting and voting ad infinitum

last night i was with kathy and selena and the ciudad guys, and mikey said he votes for shirley every so often and i was floored, flashbacks of drunken nights at millenia and freedom bar, kafe katipunan and rock radio alabang, watching ciudad play typical ciudad sets, and me in the audience pulling my hair (i do that when i see something cool and i have no other means of expressing it) because ciudad is so cool. mikey votes for shirley!

so i dunno if this is some cop-out, a cheesy moral of the story ending, or just really cliche-d but it really doesn't matter much to me if we win or not anymore. there are lots of people voting for us that i didn't even know cared about the band.

wooooooo haha
