[Fmpro] Dear Santa...

[Marinho Nobre]

Dear Santa:

Here is my wish list for 2008 and aside for the bottle of 
Jonny Walker I slammed on the wall after I opened 
my last ASCAP statement, I have been a real good boy.

My wishes for 2008:

That  all composers get their balls out of the closet 
and start speaking out and fighting against discrimination 
and the complete lack of integrity and respect towards 
their music. Fight the power, educate directors and stop 
being "yes sir dogs".

I also wish that all film directors grow an extra noodle on 
their so busy brains and stop believing that cookie cut 
music can bring the same level of excitement to their film 
that a custom score writen by a reliable composer can. 

I wish software companies start spending more time 
developing great orchestral software, that being, stuff 
that  won't require you to graduate at NASA in order 
to use it on your next score. Stuff that actually does 
what it claims to do and allows us to concentrate on
our compositions. 

I also wish some of the other software companies stop 
creating loser software that glues up loops of pre-recorded 
music which allows more and more non-musician wanna 
be's to clog our path to survive on this business. 

In the stuffer you can actually leave me the entire Vienna 
Collection, yes, that one that only the rich can buy.

I promise I won't boobytrap my chamine so your fat ass 
can have a safe way down.

I will also leave very sour cookies so you get a taste 
of what composers of orchestral music went through 
this year. 

Don't worry, there will be milk too.

Sincerely yours,
