越来越夯 [getting awesome]

We are too busy to get married


winnie ho starting her vocal recording for her debut solo album, to be released in feb 14th, 2012 
you know what i concluded last night: TV (whether it is 3-D or whatnot) and home theatre systems are going to be a thing of the past in a few years' time.

because i discovered PPS (online streaming of movies) on my ipad!

imaging snugging on your bed (best if you have a loved one), munching twisties or sipping red wine (whatever the occasion demands) and watching a movie in the best posture and most comfy environment! i don't know about you, starting today, my AV system is gonna collect dust. and btw, the pps apps was installed by my 12-year-old niece without me knowing. she knows more than i do about how to extract the best from my ipad, for sure.

there's a cliche: the only constant is change, and in this super-advance days of technology, things are moving lightning fast. one blink of an eye, things have changed or moved past you. having said that, i don't mean we have to be the slave of technology. i, for one, still haven't can't quite come to terms with CAS (computer as source). i think readers know my resistance on this aspect of technology, so i need not explain again.

now, the key point of this post. 2011 is best remembered as a year we moved away from CD selling and production. or more correctly, we stopped relying on CD sales as a main source of revenue.

also, we are putting much less emphasis on "audiophile" quality of our music, because we don't want to be constrained by the limited scope and seriously, our core supporters/ fan base are pure music lovers who just want good music, not so much concerned about its recording.

suffice to say, this new direction opens up a window of opportunities so vast that we see CDs now as a mere supporting merchandise or a portfolio for our artistes.

winnie ho's debut solo album "the jazzy sounds of teresa teng" will most likely be our only album in 2012 and without revealing too much, it should further unfold many opportunities to pop pop.

it is breath-taking to even think of how we would progress from here.

"everyone i know is getting married or pregnant. we are just getting more awesome".

with the new year unfolding, you guys should be getting more awesome too.... go and pursue your dreams (quit your day job if you need to! just kidding).... happy new year, guys and gals!
