Glad someone thought of making "Philmusic".. :)
I'm not sure if this was ask before, but could not find where.. sounds trivial to me, but...
1. Who started Philmusic? Who conceptualize this website?
2. When did Philmusic go live?
3. Who are the people behind Philmusic? :)
curious lang ako ... hehehe :)
-
just to add:
will there be a philmusic sponsored concert?
im hoping i could watch a nice gig with different music genres, with everybody playing very well.
pulp and NU gigs suck.. too much violence and jologs. you cant bring your gf in there without getting into a fistfight

Well just to satisfy your idle curiousity....
1) I registered the domain in Dec 1996. The first website went up in Feb 1997. The first feature was a photo essay by Eddie Boy Escudero.
2) Back in the day, domains were easy to come by, so I got lucky with this one. If I was into golf, this would have been PhilGolf.
3) Since 2001 PhilMusic has mainly been designed by Chette and Jim :-) Usually I handled the content and graphics and Chette did the information architecture and scripting.
4) A few notable people who have contributed to PhilMusic in the past:
- Lionel Valdellon aka Acid42 was managing ed for awhile
- Butch Madul (now with Bigfoot) wrote some articles and took some photos
- Quark Henares was responsible for the definitive Sandwich interview circa 1999 before anyone ever heard of them
- Marie Jamora interviewed Eraserheads for Natin99
- Mayo Uno Martin did a lot of cool interviews - he really had a way with words
- Candice Lopez did some pieces like our Slapshock and Chicosci interviews
- Claire Agbayani also pitched in
- Miguel Mari did some very cool graphics in 2000
- I took the bestest photos (hehe)
5) PhilMusic.com won 10 Phil. Web Awards from 1998 to 2002, or 2 per year for 5 years. In 2005 this site won a Phil. Web Award Hall of Fame and was thus ineligible from future competition. So I guess that makes us semi retired hahaha
6) In Feb 2007, the site will have been online, on and off, for 10 years.
7) The PhilMusic.com logo has been the same since Feb 2007. Miguel Mari did some studies for a new logo at one point but I always prefered the old one, so that was that (sorry Miguel!).

At first I thought this place is more on trading and selling gears :)... but probing through each section reveals that Philmusic has more substance than selling and trading :).. I guess the trading and selling secion is just more of an enticement :)
Wow...I never thought Philmusic has gone places... and had achieved several awards "Kudos" :). I think that putting a section about the brief history of this website would give members the sense of awareness and would value more this website. Probably a recognition corner..just an idea :), Now i know why some people are hook to this place... :) heheheh. Not comparable but somehow this place reminds me of Rock and Rythm Magazine before when internet is not yet a convenience.. :), where every latest release of Rock and Rythm Magazine brings great anticipation for music lovers and enthusiasts.. :)
Hats off to the people of Philmusic.. :)

Well the site has evolved over the years - it used to have an online magazine format and the forum was just an after thought. That involved too much work. I prefer keeping the forum format around though because the content is all generated by the visitors, and it's more interactive and sticky.
-
I actually miss the online magazine format. It helps people like me who are out of the country keep up with whats going on with the music scene in Pinas. Those articles were really informative. I haven't been back in Pinas for 7 years now...so Philmusic's articles kept me updated.
Thanks Jim and the rest of you guys for Philmusic. Kahit wala na yung articles atleast I still get to keep in touch with great musicians here.
Merry Christmas sayo pare :-D
-
I miss the pictures section... those were my favorites apart from the forums. The "picture of the week". (tama ba yun?)
But it's ok if it's not there anymore, I understand about the part where people download and use them illegally... wish it was still there though... sigh...
-
sayang nga yung articles dito dati.
-
Babalik din yan, promise. Dalawa lang po ang kamay ko, hehe.

yay!
i wanna have as my wallpaper the old melody del mundo circa 1999 (ata) picture, and the barbie circa 1999 picture too! way before melody disappeared and barbie became a model. :-D
yay! thanks chette! :-)
-
I don't know what that Melody del Mundo photo was, but I think I have the old Barbie Almalbis photo somewhere. Sheesh, she was only around 19 or 20 then (that makes her 29 now).
As for the "magazine format" as you can see by visiting www.philmusic.com --- it's bacccck.
I'd like to have a more web 2.0 user generated approach this time, like a slashdot or wikipedia. Anyone want to get a writer's account? We're testing that out. If so let me know.

Siguro give me until next week to figure out how to handle submission of content. Until then, use the contact form muna to submit your articles.
After that hurdle is over, I'll concentrate on bring the Photos back up. Wish me luck, sigh!
-

Yes, she was 19 then. :-)

Si Jim and Chette :)
Nagtratrabaho kami sa umaga. Sa gabi, puros PhilMusic na! :)
-
im just wondering, who founded www.philmusic.com? and when?
thnaks. more power to philmusic.
-
obviously you don't visit the main page :-)
http://philmusic.com/main/content/view/6/10/
-
based from what i know, it is sir jim ayson who founded philmusic..
-
obviously you don't visit the main page :-)

I'm reading the "about" page right now, and, OH GALLY GASH, PHILMUSIC IS 10 YEARS OLD!!!
Wala bang party? :D
-
That's correct, I founded the site when I was 10 years old. 8-)
-
That's correct, I founded the site when I was 10 years old. 8-)
:lol:
-
More like 11 years, because philmusic was originally a community on email -- it was actually a mailing list.
The domain name was also registered 11 years ago.
-
Yup, Chette the Internet historian is correct. PhilMusic started out as a mailing list hosted by iPhil in 1996. (para sa mga bata, isipin nyo lang na parang yahoogroups yun). So to be technical about it, the idea of PhilMusic is 11 years old. In a few years, PhilMusic will be old enough to smoke, hehehe
And then we will look like Kedy Sanchez's avatar:

-
sir jim tanong lang po..
nung niregister mo yang domain 11 years ago, may bayad na ba nun sa pagregister ng domain?
saka ilang bandwidth nya dati? wala lang.. ahahahaha
-
Yep back then domains were super expensive. I think I paid over $100 to Network Solutions. But the good thing was most COM domains were available then.
The bandwidth was really low, there was just one 64K link from the Philippines to the Internet, and the company I was working with had one of the early connections. The site itself was hosted in a company in Portland, Oregon called Europa. I don't know what the bandwidth was, but our requirements weren't that high anyway.
-
woah! ang mahal nga.. in demand pa eh.. ehehehe..
sayang! tapos na ba nung time na yun yung librend domain na .ph? o wala pa yung promo na yun?
-
.ph is a lot of crap!
But this is way off-topic. In the meantime, for Facebook users, do join the PhilMusic group:

good day, im currently working on my thesis and im interested in the role of philmusic in promoting philippine music abroad with respect to international relations. can you please help me by answering some questions:
-are there activities initiated or participated by philmusic that promotes philippine music (event arrangements, music festivals, tours, etc)? if so what are these
- is philmusic just a community based website or it has actual events where people meet with organizers and stuff
- is philmusic "approved by" or "a member of" certain organizations that asserts the site's credibility
*please, it would best help if you try to explain these things.
thank you very much.
much respect
-
nako marami tanong mo sir... pwed paki googs nalang thanks
-
nako marami tanong mo sir... pwed paki googs nalang thanks
googs?
-
he means "google" it.
anyway since it is your thesis that is at stake then you better start doing some serious back reading...
you will get no comprehensive answers here if you just ask point blank.
anyway philmusic is a very vibrant pinoy forum with a lot of industry people who are also members. lots of overseas members, lots of provocative posts to fight/argue over just shoot the sxxt...
or you can ask the big man himself pinoymusika nicely...
-
Some people still have this impression that PhilMusic is this big company staffed with hundreds of people but really it's just something that chette and I grew in the backyard that went out of control. If people think it's bigger than it is, that is probably saying something about the power of the Internet.
-
Hiya, please see my comments below:
-are there activities initiated or participated by philmusic that promotes philippine music (event arrangements, music festivals, tours, etc)? if so what are these
A: PhilMusic.com is always open to event sponsorship. We come on board as a media sponsor. We have been known to be especially effective in getting the word out on events. In terms of organizing events, I'm open to working with production companies but leave them to set it up.
- is philmusic just a community based website or it has actual events where people meet with organizers and stuff
A: We are basically a virtual entity. "Organizers and stuff" meet online. Putting up an event involves, well putting up an event, so we'll need help in the event management side from third parties.
- is philmusic "approved by" or "a member of" certain organizations that asserts the site's credibility
A: Actually nobody believes me so we have no credibility, hehe
As an individual I'm a member of IT organizations and am setting up some involving the mobile industry. As a music journo this is strictly off the beaten path since people who know me personally know that I actually work in a mobile telco for a living hehe. I have a lot of personal online activities (blogging, managing virtual communities, and PhilMusic is one of them).
It is interesting to note though that at the height of the Eraserheads-Marlboro controversy Carlos H. Conde noted that in the viral spread of information about the event, PhilMusic appeared to be the "ground zero" of info. Though I still think of this site as my personal blog (or one of them), the longevity of PhilMusic (this has been online for eleven years) by default gives it a certain air of credibility.
The forum is another matter. I look at it is a self-sustaining community. While any tom, [sausage], and harry can just fire up SMF or phpBB and start their own forum, the PhilMusic forums has managed to attract a surprisingly wide spectrum of musicians, from known professionals to amateurs and newbies. I sometimes wonder how we were able to get them all onboard, but I'm always thankful for the community for making the forums what they are - and that is the most authoritative source of info for music gear. And that's not something we did, it's what the communty was able to achieve by itself.
We don't need to "join an organization" for that, the community itself gives its own credibility. I think PhilMusic is the original social network for pinoy musicians.
Oh I forgot that PhilMusic.com has been recognized a few times - the website won the Philippine Web Awards twice a year for eight years straight, so this site won ten trophies and then two years later they gave us a Hall of Fame just to put an end to it. :) Maybe that adds to the "credibility" as well.

hehehe :evil:

I guess I thought everyone knew - but I was wrong! We all manage the board in a voluntary basis - this is an all volunteer effort. So don't bug the mods ok? :-)
I just got an email from Jerome Azarcon asking if its true that mods get paid 40K a month and if he could apply... where do those weird rumors come from?!? Pare mag call center ka na lang... :roll:

good day, im currently working on my thesis and im interested in the role of philmusic in promoting philippine music abroad with respect to international relations. can you please help me by answering some questions:
-are there activities initiated or participated by philmusic that promotes philippine music (event arrangements, music festivals, tours, etc)? if so what are these
- is philmusic just a community based website or it has actual events where people meet with organizers and stuff
- is philmusic "approved by" or "a member of" certain organizations that asserts the site's credibility

maganda pare maghanap ka ng mga matatagal na dito.(BTW, hindi ibig sabihin na madaming post eh matagal na sa philmusic.) check mo na lang yung registration date nila. tapos mamili ka sa kanila from guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, etc. sections/board ng pwede mo mainterview ng personal(wag mo ko isama sa interview list if ever, im a very super busy person.). o kaya pagsabaysabayin mo sila kahit sabihin mo libre mo na lang sila ng alak. saka maganda magset ka ng time kung ilang oras sila magiistay. mas madami ka matututunan kung kakausapin mo sila ng personal sa mga experiences nila at observation dito. isa pa is sa mga EB attend ka with the intention to get their views. maki mingle ka at iexplain mo intention mo na may project ka. sa dami ko ng nakatransaction dito, minsan hindi enough ang 2 hours sa kwentuhan namen bago magkaliwaan ng items or tinda.

so how come philmusic is not asking for donations so that you could improve your server or maybe switch to a different forum board wherein your search engine could function properly. to be honest with you this forum is totally informative it's a shame to go to waste.
Im sure with the number of people who could afford to sell and buy gadgets and guitars in this forum they could shell out a few bucks for a donation.

Napansin ko lang, ang search function ba ng Philmusic is talagang for the posts lang? Not for the thread titles? Yun kasi yung makikitang nakahighlight kapag nagsearch eh. Pwede kaya natin gawin na yung thread titles mismo yung tags?

Adjusted it to 60% instead (less 15% on search weight for age of last matching message, 5% for topic length). Should help a bit MORE, me thinks. :-D

Bro, ganyan din error sa akin, dun ka ba nag sisign in sa top left?
Try mo click yung login, na kahilera ng Home etc na options,
Dapat yung login page na lalabas eh yung nasa baba na and mas malaki yung box, yung pwede mo lagay kung ilan minutes mo gustong naka login.
