Launching album ke 2 sudah semakin dekat.

Posting ini tidak akan mengumumkan tanggal, jam dan lokasi launching.

Dengan asumis elo follow twitter gue di www.twitter.com/pandji

atau denger iklannya di radio radio :)

Disini, gue mau mengumumkan 2 hal.

Pertama, HTM adalah Rp 50.000,-

Kedua, everybody pays.

Ga ada guestlist. Ga ada free enterance.

Everybody pays.

And here’s why:

Gue, menemukan salah satu kunci agar industri kreatif, terutama musik untuk bisa bertahan dan bahkan berjaya.

Kuncinya adalah : MENGHARGAI NILAI SEBUAH KARYA

Jadi, gue minta elo untuk bayar untuk masuk ke launching gue.

Gue tidak memberlakukan free enterance, guest list, dan segala tetek bengek yg kita semua pernah dengar.

Gue juga tidak akan memberi album gue kalau elo meminta.

Kalaupun ada yg dapet gratis, adalah karena GUE yang ngasih. Bukan karena gue diminta.

Sampai sini, adakah yang berpikiran gue pelit?

:)

Ada.

Bagus.

Ga usah dateng ke launching gue.

Atau.

Baca lebih lanjut dan pahami alasan di balik semua ini.

Gue sama sekali nggak ngerti sama orang orang yang suka minta karya buatan temennya.

“Eh, minta dong album lo…”

Gue biasanya menjawab “Ya elah, beli doooong”

Biasanya dia menjawab “Anjirr?? Pelit banget lo!”

Disini, gue kemudian berpikir “Yang pelit gue, ATAU ELO?”

“Elo tau susah payahnya gue bikin album ini, elo tau segala keringat yg menetes, segala jam tidur yang lenyap, segala lelah yang menumpuk, segala uang yang sudah gue keluarkan sendiri, segala jerih payah untuk mengumpulkan uang itu sendiri… Bahkan setelah elo tau itu semua, ELO MASIH MINTA??? TEMAN MACAM APA ELO?”

Kalau bukan temen gue sendiri yg menghargai jerih payah gue, lalu siapa lagi?

Siapa yang pelit? Elo atau gue ?

Ada sebuah cerita, Kanye West pengen nonton konser Jay Z sahabat yang sudah dia anggap sebagai kakak di Madison Square Garden yang merupakan konser terakhir dia sebelum dia pensiun. Kanye nelfon Carline, sekretarisnya Jay Z dan menanyakan apakah Jay Z nitip tiket gratis untuk dia. Betapa terkejut ketika Carline menjawab “Jay nyiapin tiket buat jatah elo, mau bayar lewat apa?

Terkejut Kanye West ketika ternyata Jay Z minta dia untuk tetap BAYAR!

This is Kanye, who made numerous hits for Jay Z out of his beats. And Jay still wants him to pay?

Is this mockery?

Belakangan Kanye paham bahwa Jay Z sedang mengajarkan Kanye untuk tetap menghargai nilai sebuah karya.

“Big brother got his show up in Madison Square
And I’m like yea, yea we gonna be there
But not only did I not get a chance to spit it
Carleen told me I could buy two tickets”

Big Brother, Kanye West.

Ini juga yang mau gue kenalkan kepada elo.

Pada launching gue nanti, tidak ada yang gratis.

Semua bayar.

Bukannya gue ga berterima kasih kepada elo, bukannya gue ga hormat sama elo.

This is not JUST about me. This is about for the sake of the WHOLE CREATIVE INDUSTRY.

Gue minta elo untuk menghargai karya gue.

This is me, Pandji, ur friend, the one you follow on your twitter, the one you listen to, ur friend.

Start from me.

Dengan  belajar menghargai sebuah karya, kita akan bisa mengalahkan pembajakan.

Kita tau bajakan tetep ada, tapi kita memilih untuk beli yang asli.

Di buku Sarah Mc Cartney berjudul THE FAKE FACTOR, ada sebuah survey yg bertanya “Alasan apa elo beli barang asli dari yg palsu?”

Moral, ada di urutan ke 7.

Dibawah kualitas, harga, bahan, dll.

Artinya kalau ada bajakan yang kualitasnya bagus, harganya okey, bahan juga, maka mereka akan tetep beli.

Padahal, harusnya orang ga beli bajakan karena memang secara moral beli bajakan itu salah!

Harusnya, terutama kalau elo sudah berpenghasilan, elo malu untuk dapat gratisan terhadap sebuah karya.

Karena yang harusnya dapet gratisan adalah mereka yang bener bener ga mampu.

Bukan elo.

Elo masih bisa ke starbucks.

Mereka bahkan ga akan pernah berani menatap ke arah starbucks.

Malu kepada mereka.

Kalau kita , elo dan gue, mulai menghilangkan budaya gratisan, maka gratisan akan lebih mudah untuk dijadikan jatah saudara saudara kita yang ga mampu.

I hope you understand.

Wether you’re a friend, a cousin, a celebrity, everybody gets the same thing.

Everybody pays.

    I read this post 2 days ago, and suddenly, last night, while I’m praying, suddenly I got reminded of this post. I don’t know but it feels like I gotta say something.

    Pandji, I used to be your fan. I like your songs man, the words are deep, I bought the original CD. I like your ideas, they’re so out-of-the-box. But man, I’m a bit shocked to read your reply to iman’s comments. They’re all in capital words.

    Man, just because someone said stupid to your ideas, doesn’t mean it stupid, doesn’t mean you’re stupid.
    I believe everybody here knows that you’re right, knows that you’re smart; even the stupid one.
    I’m sorry (and please don’t feel offended), but you look like a high school kid – get so angry when someone just don’t agree with you.
    I believe Iman just said what he knows, his ideas about yours.

    Man, you should not be so defensive.

    I believe you know much better than us, about many things.
    But unfortunately, human makes mistakes and we can be wrong.

    Pandji, whenever you see someone that just not right thru your eyes, please correct him… humbly.

    … and I’m still waiting for your next album brother! :)

    Interesting post lead to interesting comments..high rated=>
    Old saying would say : There is no such thing as a bad publicity, it is still a publicity.
    And that is what exactly happening in here, lots of pros and cons even the heavy ones but it all lead to one thing : More people are becoming so curious with your album and more people are definitely will come to your lunch.50rb is nothing compares to the curiosity that kills them. curiosity on why you are really defensing your opinion.

    Btw, i can’t help to deny this conspiracy scenario in my mind : i think iman is one of your guys that was planned to “provoke” this post, so they you will have an opportunity to explain on this issue in a more interactive way. There is no hard evidence on my scenario so don’t take it to serious but if its true..way to go marketing strategy you have..

    Good luck man,

    Pandji… I’m one of your fans… gua sering denger sisi2 wisdom lu … dan gua inget satu kalimat lu “only you who can ruin your own reputation”… bukan org lain… reaksi kita thd action org lain yang justify apakah reputasi kita rusak gak… and thanks to your comment, i become a better man… gua bisa lebih sabar skrg dalam menghadapi org2 yang bikin gua kesel…

    so.. gua juga berharap lu bisa jalanin wisdom dari kata2 lu sendiri, dalam hadapin reaksi org2 yang gak setuju sama kata2 elu… you cannot achieve something with compliments.. but you can improve yourself with critics… gak selamanya org yang masuk blog lu akan setuju dgn kata2 elo… tapi yg care, yg masuk blog dan leave comments.. albeit spicy ones… adalah yang bener2 ingin menyumbangkan sarannya atau ingin diyakinkan ulang… sama elo…

    dan kalo lu bisa bersikap cool … and give some room for disagreement… baru akan nunjukkin gimana elo matang sbg satu pribadi….. karena selamanya ada aja org yang gak akan setuju sama elo….. dulu Obama kalo di kritik pedes… selalu bersikap cool.. and end up winning majority’s vote… although some of them may not agree to all the things that he says….

    Posting dan komennya bagus-bagus
    @Stenly defensive kaya gitukan gapapalah Sten, namanya juga usaha ngerubah pandangan orang
    @Pandji Postingnya Inspiring, tapi cara ngejawab komen dari Iman harusnya lebih pintar. Sebagai orang yang bekerja di dunia entertainer lo pasti bisa melakukannya lebih baik dari kebanyakan orang yang baca blog lo

    Kalau ada yang salah mohon maaf ya
    hehe :)

    @pandji: gw suka cara pikir lo.. bener2 suka banget.. kebetulan gw sering banget digituin juga ama orang2 deket gw.. tapi mungkin emang kita ga ada di satu bidang yang sama sih,, lo bekerja di bidang seni dan gw lebih banyak di bidang IT.. dengan smua tulisan lo,, gw rasa gw bakal lebih berani buat ngomong ama orangorang yang kurang menghargai kreatifitas dengan meminta gratisan.. bukannya gw pelit atau gimana yah,, tapi semua kerja keras kan harusnya bisa dihargai.. salut buat lo ndji.. sukses terus

    ~eh.. tanggal ulangtahun kita sama lho.. happy birthday yak! maaf telat! :P

    Betul ^^

    saran yah… kalo mending ga suah di kasi statement macem2 deh .. cukup “guyzz . .plis beli originalnya ya.. tolong hargain karya anak bangsa.. jgn di bajak . . hargailah karya anak bangsa!…” gw yakin dengan maksud ky gitu kita2 udah pinter2 kok.. udah ngerti . .
    he3..ga usah manjang lebar ky ngomel2 n kuliah gityu dunk ^^’

    hehe cuma saran lowh ^^

    gua kadang beli bajakan seh, tapi gua punya alasan …
    yah karena yang ori ga ada di pasaran.
    tapi kadang-kadang yang gratisan tu secara tersembunyi bisa mbangkitkan rasa beli lho.
    karena lagi-lagi konsumen berhak menentukan yang pantas dibeli dan yang pantas ga dibeli (teori resepsi)
