Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Pet hate: Crowdfunding, mostly. But specifically bands. Just get to fuck, it's borderline offensive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Is that just what it sounds like? Give us some money so we can play gigs? That's fucking awful. It's this one that's bothered me enough to post it in here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/craig-john-davidson-innes-cardno-usa-tour-fund#/story I'm pretty sure there was a healthy enough debate about it a wee while back on here, where I made my feelings clear. I just fundamentally disagree with it unless there's something about a particular campaign that makes it any different to any other artistic offering. But like I say, the one above is pretty offensive to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I just don't get it, friends' bands have just saved and worked hard to produce their own albums or go on tour. To be honest, it's like being asked to sponsor someone who wants to run a marathon to get fit - fuck off, I'm not going to pay towards something that was just an afterthought. Next they'll be asking folk to pay for them to get a personal trainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 What does the 'funder' get out of giving the guy money so he can go on tour? I don't have a problem with the ones where you're paying for a record to be released, because usually you'll receive the record plus other goodies when it released, so you're essentially just pre-ordering it and being rewarded for doing so. The one above just seems to be "give me money for flights, food and petrol". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've always hated everything about crowdfunding. Replacing hard work with handouts and questionable ownership ethics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) What does the 'funder' get out of giving the guy money so he can go on tour?

The one above just seems to be "give me money for flights, food and petrol". It'd make sense to me if it was a case of crowdfunding coming from people in the [tour destination] where you basically buy your ticket in advance. I'm 100% behind the idea of crowdfunding where it provides a means of an artist securing funding in advance to create a piece of work, but this kind of handout shit pisses me right off too. If your music is good enough to warrant touring the US, sell a record or some tshirts and raise the fucking money yourself. xx Edited July 10, 2015 by Stroopy121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 "Chill", used as an adjective. Especially if preceeded by "so". "That/he/she is so chill". I've heard it used twice this weekend, once to describe a room and once to describe a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Also stringy bits on bananas are made of Satan's jizz. You're peeling it from the wrong end. Peel it from the bottom and you don't get the stringy bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
