 | Internet Independence
by Terrina Hussien | | The question of whether or not we need major labels is one that's been debated forever.Major labels provide (in most cases) the financial backing to produce, engineer, promote and market an album - a cost that most local acts and bands can't come up with themselves. |  |
| | The Importance of Presence
by Terrina Hussien | | I'm sick of going to gigs where I can't tell the difference between the roadies and the rock stars. More often than not, it looks like they all shop at the same place, probably called 'Unwashed Jeans and Uncombed Hair'. |  |

by Terrina Hussien | | Alicia Keys, Celine Dion, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, Boys II Men, Wyclef Jean, Muse, Blondie, Incubus, John Legend, Akon, My Chemical Romance, Kanye West, Simple Plan … | |
| | Aiming For The Rest
by Terrina Hussien | | With Anugerah Industri Muzik 2008 just around the corner, award season 2008 kicks into overdrive.

"We’re providing a platform for you..." They say.
"You get to promote your band..." They say.
"Sponsor 'tak de budget bro'" They say. | |

 | | Terrina’s been known as the rock chick with a chip on her shoulder for some years now. But she likes to think that it’s only because she cares. Others however put it down to her control freak nature! Her moshing days may be over but she now redirects that energy to questioning everything she doesn’t agree with. And don’t forget – this is a PERSONAL blog.
