  Hello, peeps. As you all know, we went on In The Raw last night on NU 107. We were sharing the booth with Soft Pillow Kisses, Spring Boutique, and Popular Days, mostly because we all share some members. Let me just show a lineup to give you an idea: Candyaudioline Ayn Roel Ralph Me Allan Soft Pillow Kisses Allan Louie Lara John Paul Charles Popular Days Charles John Paul Eric *** Spring Boutique Charles John Paul Lei Antz This caused Francis Reyes to dub the episode Allan Montero In the Raw Night. He was pretty overwhelmed by our number at first, but he knew how to handle us after a while. It was confusing for us, too Allan didnt want us to go one by one because it would seem too serious of us, when most of had already been on the show before.
He wanted it to be something like Here we are with our new songs and we just want to have fun on the air. Uh-huh. It was ok. It was pretty weird in the booth because we were all cracking jokes and people kept taking pictures basta ang gulo namin talaga! But I was surprised to hear part of the taping afterwards because we didnt seem as noisy as we really were in the booth. Well, for those of you who listened, you know how it turned out.
All in all, it was a fair episode. I think everyone enjoyed it a lot. Call me anal, but I had some problems about last night. I remember months before when someone suggested that we do In The Raw along with Popular Days and Allan said something like, Magmamanyakan lang tayo dun huwag! Well, thats what happened last night. I mean jokes are ok and all but I just wish nobody had mentioned Nymphettes or Romeos or whatever.
I like them as private jokes, but for us to bring it up on the air was just plain too crass for me. Dont get me wrong. I LOVE Popular Days and all our other friends from indie bands who patronize those places. I just didnt think Nymphettes was appropriately mentioned last night. And of course, there were other things that were put into focus last night that made me raise my eyebrows. I will not elaborate.
The preceding thoughts were written the morning after our NU guesting. However, I now feel that it was great. We did have fun, after all, and people were given a chance to hear the new stuff we had produced since the last album. Now they know we havent been sitting on our asses :) One thing depresses me, though. Allan and Ralph got to hear how our songs sound on the radio, and they both were disappointed. We all feel that the finished product doesnt come close to how we had originally envisioned the songs.
Because of this, theyre actually considering not releasing the EP anytime soon. Boohoo. I talked to Allan about it. I asked him why not, when we all had agreed to release it even if it wasnt up to par, and THEN do well on the next release. He said, I understand how you guys still arent thinking on the band level and want to release the EP just to be able to tell people that weve produced something. But in the long run, if we release it now knowing its not good, youll be regretting your decision.
Itll hurt to turn out something mediocre now. And we saw his point, even if it depressed us. Its true the guitars werent given the emphasis we had wanted. And the drums sound sucky (not entirely Roels fault). So now, were wondering what to do. Should we record them again?
That would be hell on our pockets (Allans and Ralphs) and we dont know how soon well be able to release it after that. Should we have it remixed at this place Allan knows? That would be expensive AND time consuming for sure. Were trapped by our own perfectionism at the same time, were not really sorry that we are. This is the way we think. Meanwhile, you can download the current versions of our 4 songs somewhere on Soulseek (I think Ralph put them there).
Time will tell about the EP
