hellz yes

Ahhhh, interviews.

"What's your most glaring weakness?"
"I don't interview well because I can't put up with asinine questions."

Is it any wonder that I've become a professional gambler.

for lack of a more relevant reply

liquor in th front, poker in th rear

Would be fine if I had a "her" to go down on.

But for relevance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aolVYSMRw_0 is a vid of two guys on brownies playing for nearly 100k.

Interviewing for jobs sucks. One guy started talking to me about my favorites bands, and I just thought, "Fuck, this is not going to end up well."

What a sexy picture, hahahaha.

you know you wanna lick Andy's bod

[hi5haircut]

yeah, luckily none of my interviewers have liked music (@ all, if i'm any judge of character). these people are such bullshit. let's mutiny & start our own island.

Re: you know you wanna lick Andy's bod

[terri_is_dead]

For sure, for sure. Everytime anyone asks me about music these days I just play them Anal Cunt's 'Picnic of Love' and they shut the fuck up.

This island will involve no jobs /and/ we all wear masks to look like Andy.

I do pretty shitty at interviews too, for the same reasons. Same thing: get nervous, start babbling nonsense, bizarre things I remember from some obscure literature class in college, or, the worst thing of all, the truth. Hence my continual failure in the job market. Probably half the reason I'm looking for a lefty guitar. Pro musician is looking better than a "real" job these days.

Then again, it doesn't seem to be working out that well for you. Here's hoping though; the radio needs better tunes than the crap that's on right now, and you (and Frank, and numerous others I know or have seen in dingy back rooms of forgotten bars across NY) are providing it.

pro musician will get you tail, but not rent money! you can be good, nay; you can be GREAT, but unless you appeal to whatever nameless faceless numberhead man makes th pertinent decisions about these things (who gets promoted mostly) in some freak twist of luck you are DOOMED TO OBSCURITY & POVERTY. it's fun. it might even be yr "calling"-- but kid, it'll break yr heart.

that doesn't mean i'll be stopping anytime soon. th rich idiots need people like us around to be poor by comparison. if you ever get famous, GET ME PAID. overout

"Sugar-daddy" would be a nice job title...

I was having this discussion with a friend after a horrendous open mike last night: men that get into music to use it as sonic panty-remover.

Appealing to the nameless faceless numberhead man is not only the problem with record contracts, but also sitting there at the interview. While they may have a name that they used for contact purposes, and a face that is smiling at you and looking at you, that name is meaningless and that face is painted on a bleached skull.

If I ever get famous, I'm going to have to open a bar or something and hire all my friends. Put it in an old hotel building or something and have everyone live upstairs. Parties all the time when no one is needed to mind the bar.

rich idiots

[record_playback]

i'm so fucking rich. i always thought being a professional writer would be at least 1/3 as good as pro musician for getting tail, but I haven't had enough of an opportunity to find out

[chocolatebark]

Interviews can be awkward. I always feel like a jerk asking for references, especially letters of reference too. (Uh, they want to be able to phone you, but they ALSO want to have something in writing they can look at. do you mind?)

Chaos, I say. How'd these dumb buggers get to run the planet?

let th pixels revolt

[hi5haircut]

i DON'T KNOW, but we should take it back. i'm tired of merely dragging my stain across th planet. hoe do you translate commanding a presence into commanding th present?
