Work work
We all love to laugh or just roll our eyes in embarrassment when we see such spelling mistakes in Armenia. I won't mention which site this is from, but check it out.Still busy busy working on lots of new projects. The HAYQ cd single was just released, along with the new song (which so far is getting positive feedback), I did a couple of remixes of the new song, as well as the overplayed Qami Pchi. I'm dreaming of the day local clubs start playing more Armenian music. I won't blame the DJs though, considering the majority of Armenian pop music is not something you would really dance to in clubs, and any dance remixes locals have produced have been very primitive and weak.
I just finished a new project with a new singer, a very talented workaholic. Going to shoot the video soon. The ideas are quite exciting and new for an Armenian music video, but with such a low budget, I don't know what the outcome will be. On average, local artists are now spending about $4,000 a video. Though a joke compared to videos abroad (costs usually starting from $50,000 to a few million), local artists make these videos with no intentions of making the money back. Without sponsors, they just don't make any videos. Frustrating situation in such a small market.

A) The typography is so poor on this ad, I'm preparing to purchase a library of books on typography to distribute to designers for FREE if they keep this up.
B) All they had to do was look on ANY WEBISTE IN THE WORLD to see how iPod is spelt.
C) What iPods are they selling in Armenia that they are advertising? I bought the last available one in the entire country a couple months back.
D) BAD TYPOGRAPHY!!!! DESIGNERS, YOU HAVE POTENTIAL!!! GET IT TOGETHER!!! Sorry, that's the geek in me.
Armenian music. What is it like these days? My French-Armenian cousin sent me an inquiry about some Armenian music on a Smithsonian Institution "world heritage music" site. It was for sale there so I bought it, downloaded and sent it to him on CD. It was by John Vartan and, coincidentally, I quite liked it. Anybody heard of him? Is what we think of as traditional Armenian music to be heard in Armenia? or is it something like traditional American square dance music that you hear in elementary school and from there on out it's rock and roll for the rest of your life?
The irony is that, if you look close enough on the ad, even the ipod itself has the word "ipod" spelled correctly!
They could have just gotten it off there if they looked close enough. ;-)
der hova - hi, im new to this blog, and i would like to know more about you and your position there in Hayastan. are you a producer of Armenian pop music ?
Hello loveshayastan,
I compose/arrange/produce music mostly in English, but the only two I've produced in Armenian have been the two HAYQ singles. So I guess you can call me a producer of Armenian pop music :-)
der hova - nice to read your response, thank you ! good to know you're of your occupation/career. i enjoy HAYQ very much, Qami Pchi is dope, i love it very much, and Mer Patmutyun is cool too. I hope to get my hands on their full album when its released. so are you originally born in Hayastan then lived grew up somewhere else or are you a disporan ?
Thank you loveshayastan for the kind words.
I'm 100% diasporan, from Canada.
der hova - you're welcome aper, i am glad to know you are helping our people of Hayastan, and culture to produce & release out a modernized music that we all enjoy. i swear HAYQ is the hyekakan version of Black Eyed Peas (at least i'd like to think so). is it possible for me to contact you privately off this blog ?
loveshayastan,
