See this video, witness how the Paramore and Parawhore made my point..

Look at that amazing crowd! After that Ancol show, I’ve just realized that Indonesian Parawhores heart paramore to their bones.. I hope Hayley can endure this era of Paramore longer..

Valerio’s basic idea is to exploit this technology medium (internet) for a better collaboration platform for musician everywhere. Few he said were about musician finding partners for song completion, music arrangement, sharing equipments, general music venue information, independent labels, distribution and more.. My dumb capitalist first thought was songs exchange between local musics. eg. Indonesian songs to be translated into Italian with few modifications on instrument or  music arrangement.. Well, dumb isn’t it..

I was so excited to get involve in that project.. until then I browsed around to find out about the existing music portal or specifically, a social network for musician. I found out these two sites very helpful: Which social networking site is most useful to you and list of social networking websites (wikipedia), which then I filtered it to get the musician related only:

• http://www.reverbnation.com/
• http://www.indabamusic.com
• http://audimated.com/
• http://www.buzznet.com/
• http://www.vocalist.org.uk/
• http://www.linked-musicians.com/
• http://www.gogoyoko.com
• http://www.tmntv.com/
• http://www.musiciansnetwork.com (the lousy got the domain)

Not all above is about music end to end music production collaboration platform. Some only do the marketplace. Anyhow, as an internet enthusiast, I feel that some of those actually has already has functions that Valerio told me. Oh.. yes, he did say that it would be much better if the project is done by musicians.. for whatever that means, I support his cause..

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

The most inspiring song… My favorite… Beautiful Release…

I do love Sarah's musical works and performances. I adore the lyrics and music of "Angel" from the "Surfacing" album. Almost of her musical works copy lies in my collection disc. Of course I also admire her initiative to promote more appreciation for women in music, in "lilith fair: celebrating women in music". I even bought more of her merchandises few years ago…

I thought she only did for american-canadian only. I thought it's only lipsync when she said she care… I never knew until today I found www.worldonfire.ca where she ask a little from the big (us) to share…
