  1. Anybody here watch it?

    I think they're wrapping up the end of the fifth series pretty badly IMO. No need to do what they did to kutner, but something big had to happen, plus kal penn's supposedly going to be working in the american presidency for a while. Still intriguing none the less to see how kutners situation will pan out.

    Still, cant beat house being a total bastard though.

  2. If you've AGREED a 50 fee, and get paid 40% of that, I think you're more than entitled to create a shit storm. Vans and bellies don't run on thin air. If a promoter isn't going to pay the full fee due to poor turnout, why AGREE on a fee in the first place?

    I would agree with this 100%. The only way to get better and further in the music industry is to create a revenue and to carry on in the industry whilst getting fucked over by small time promoters is not fair for all the work put in by the bands.

    Just for the record though, i'm 100% not talking from experience or of any promoters locally.

    Also, when does a band know they are of the stature to request written evidence of agreements? Should it be a flat out policy of touring bands to require written evidence?

  3. Kinda got me thinking due to Exposure@lemontrees thread on bands pulling out of gigs.

    How many local bands employ the use of contracts/getting things in writing before playing a gig? Do any of you local bands get a set amount to be paid in writing before playing a gig? I remember a Musicians Union representative coming to our college to explain that getting things in writings the first step to becoming more professional but it got me thinking that how many local promoters would feel happy signing a binding contract saying "x amount of money must be paid to the band after playing etc etc"?

    Anyway, all just thoughts and stuff but what are your thoughts on this situation?

  4. It's just something some people are interested in. Same as if you recorded a few tracks at Exile or Captain Toms.

    Exactly. No doubt if he hadn't put up who it was recorded with there would be people asking "who did you record that with".

    Sometimes you can't frigging win on this site.

  5. lol!

    i had to play "patience" by take that and "the way you make me feel" by ronan keating for my performance assessment at uni a few months ago!

    as well as kelly clarkson, stevie wonder, kylie, the primitives, james brown and heaps of other songs.

    i think i was actually given about 2 weeks to learn like 27 songs lol!

    It wont beat yer beasting version of sweet dreams in college. That pickup you had on the strat was awesome. 8-)

  6. I can see problems with this sentence being taken out of context.

    Ahhhhh! cheers for the heads up, never even thought of it being a problem! :up:

    For the record folks, i'm not racist, merely find south park funny.

  7. I am very poor at this game thus far. I think I need to read the instructions.

    I'm the same, I just can't get the knack for it.

    Does anyone know why vega can take off his mask and claw thing? Does it have any actual advantage to him to do so? ?(
