Letters from the future...

Dear C64Music! Readers,
I just came from the future and I would like to contribute with my humble point of view about the emerging 8bit electronic music sub-genre. It's a quick draft and it might not be focused towards the commodore 64 musicians in particular but anyhow here it goes.
To me, it looks quite obvious that the 8bit music genre is emerging since some chip musicians decided to take the chiptune style to the stage in the 90s, and Im not talking about the stage of a demoparty.
These musicians had the 8bit aesthetics so heavily imprinted that they couldn't follow any other option in their musical paths. It was a bleep or die situation.
The Transition to the 8bit age.
Today, we are experiencing the shock of a transition, the transition of chip music struggling to live outside the computing geek scene as a sub-genre of electronic music. The same way as we have drum&bass parties in every city, we should expect more and more 8bit parties with live acts in the future, at least in the big cities. And do not forget Circuit Benders they come in too!
At this moment, among the confusion of this transition, that many won't believe or accept as being a reality, we hear people call 8bit music with terms such as chipcore, nerdcore, chiphop, bitpunk or chiptune which is the most common one, I guess this is definitely a good sign for 8bit music when people are trying to classify it among electronic music, it means it exists for society ! Check out the adventures of Mr.Maclaren trying to make sense of all this while insinuating that he discovered this scene !
Are we actually aware of the amount of 8bit bands out there ? Anyone heard of Bud Melvin ? A gameboy and a Banjo.. dig that. With every musical genre, there was things that needed to happen before it could even be born, I guess everybody agrees with that, one of the crucial things that needed to exist is the internet and its netlabels and specialized net communities like micromusic.net, or even global ones like myspace or last.fm... Because we are experiencing this change into this new opensource way of 2.0 life, I would really compare the action of someone downloading a free creative commons licensed mp3 EP with the action of someone buying that EP... in these times its the same mental result, I mean, if someone "owns" your free EP among his music collection, this person is obviously a fan! You see the connection ? It's a whole change in the way musicians network.
Yes, It is true that they say that people care more for what they paid for, but that's where vinyls jump into the plot. I believe that the CD is not what it used to be in terms of feeling the object, everybody can burn a CD today, so in way it feels like a cassette tape again...just digital... in the near future, 8bit artists will prefer to only release the "original" recordings in vinyl. Probably a few CDs will be pressed to satisfy some demand of people who don't own a record player "yet"... but mp3s will circulate freely...
And to finish up, it couldn't be that the deep roots of the geeks wouldn't infect the music industry.. hell.. you geeks created the internet ! Why not create another form of music for the 21st century ???
8bit ! Vivaa! 8bit! Viivaa!!

2020.08.05【工作相關職場分享必看不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因】就算是酒店應徵也是有求職陷阱的!梁小尊來告訴你。
【工作相關職場分享必看酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容】
很多女孩我在酒店上班的日子在網路PTT的疑問:我在Google上網搜尋有找到好幾家酒店在徵酒店助理,可是我一到現場的時候,他們卻要我做酒店公關的工作,讓我感覺得害怕,可是酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?Google搜尋網頁上面寫的薪水又很誘人,真的很想嘗試看看,但又怕被騙!有人可以告訴我,我該怎麼做嗎?
梁曉尊來幫你解答: 酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?
網路上的應徵酒店助理都是噱頭而已,實際上他們要應徵的都是酒店公關,薪水也是想用高薪來吸引人家進來應徵而已,如果他們看到你,覺得外型不錯,就會開始跟你說做酒店公關的薪水會比較多,就會開始慫恿你做酒店公關,因為酒店最缺的還是小姐,至於其他職務的話,有可能也有缺…但是要看店家需要的人數跟目前還有沒有餘額,如果要應徵酒店類的工作還是打聽清楚會比較安全、比較保險。
酒店助理,薪水也大概在兩萬五左右,跟外面的助理薪水其實是差不多的,不會因為酒店是高消費的地方,所有職務的薪水都會提高。
再來普羅大眾網路PTT時常發問: 酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?如果真的要應徵酒店小姐 有什麼要注意的?要如何保護自己?
當然有些女孩們,因為生活上某些因素,需要酒店小姐這份工作又擔心受騙!沒有方向可尋....
梁曉尊再教你另一種保護自己的方式: 透過Google搜尋酒店經紀的名稱,是否有相關事業! 。如果只是看到漂亮的網頁 ,但沒有任何內容也別輕易相信(因為很多不肖酒店人士,透過假網頁做非法之事)共同點 經紀人名稱Google搜尋不到,更沒有本人照片(女孩們千萬要特別注意)。
