i just received news from the man who runs the DIY label that releases my music.... he's having a kid soon, and there's other problems, and this means that the label might be winding down pretty soon. Which means all my albums will be discontinued, basically. of course, he said "might" but i'm pretty sure there's a good possibility that it will happen. damn it, this ruins my whole day. i'm so...... AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! |
||||||||

|
|
'discontinued' mean what exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to hear, man :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

that they will no longer be manufacturing or distributing them. which bsically means none of my music will be available to the online public, which means i'll be officially and completely unemployed. |

How many have you sold? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very few. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess this means its time for me to find a real label - either that or..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or.... "would you like fries with that" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
you certainly haven't disappointed me this time, fleetmouse! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i appreciate the humour fleets, as always. things happen for a reason sometimes, and i guess this is my cue to stop being so lazy and try a bit harder. |

Yeh well a backup plan is a good idea if you want to pursue music... are you going to uni or a trade school or sumpin? qrter: I am bitterly disappointed in you for not commenting on my Halloween track! I realize it's probably a bit conventional by your standards as it doesn't consist of a condenser mic pushed into an electrocuted weasel's ass and all... |

i was going to a college, but i didn't have any money to pay for this semester so no dice there - trust me, i'm trying to find work - i'm going to try to get back in next semester. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
sorry to hear about this oddio, it sucks. it sounds like you have a plan tho', so i'm sure everything'll work out. what are you going to take at college? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh dude, bummer! : ( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sorry for you, and I really really hope things work out, in one way or another. This must be paralysing for you.. but just begin to move again, and you'll soon be on your feet. If you make good music, there will always be hope for you. :) |

If you feel the need, either do your own discs on CD-r at home (which is what a lot of my label is based around at the minute), or burn a bunch of discs and send them to small indie labels. One will be happy to pick up your music, hopefully. Maybe no bigger than your current situation, but if you don't mind that, I can't imagine you'd have much of a problem. |

Trying to make money out of music is a complete fantasy. So in as polite a way as I can say it 'WAKE UP'! |

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope something else comes up. |

Promo is completely correct, of course. Especially with the music you're doing. But it's always nice to have proper copies of your own music, and it's nice to let people have CDs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do shut the fuck up promo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
giginger, Why? Have I burst your bubble too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, it just gets annoying hearing you bleat on and on and on time and time again about it. I know I'll never make money from my music. I don't care either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well why entertain people's (complete and utter) fantasies? Does more harm than good IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well thank you all for the sympathy - even promo, whilst it was a bit harsh. that's why i like this place, people care. it may be a dream but fuck it, it's my dream and I'm not going to give up since I've been doing it for over 10 years now. anyways, i'm going to be sending my music to other labels soon, so maybe i'll find something else. i can't go any LOWER from here, so i guess that's a positive way to look at it. :D |

i love you oddio! yr a good man!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah man, perhaps its for the best make you send out more demos, in turn getting you signed to a bigger label? Best of luck man |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aw, thanks, i love you too. btw, have you finished the new site yet? zeus - yes, i was also looking at it this way as well. lunaticworks contacted me today about a cowboy sugarcakes demo, they said it wasn't quite what they were looking for, but asked me to keep it coming anyways. which i shall. thanks again. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope. gotta start from square one... will still be up in the projected time frame. but were making it more animated and interactive (see www.ween.com for a general idea of what were going for) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting, indeed. i remember when i completely reprogrammed my site a while back and had to rewrite the html code from the ground up - it's a bitch no matter what you're doing, and time consuming - but it always pays off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i mean... better to go back to the drawing board NOW then say, 6 months down the line when were almost finished. at this rate, i still think it can be ready when it needs to be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good good - keep up the work then and tell me when you've finished it. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
will do, man therell be a big to-do on here, for sure |
||||||||
|
|

Oddioblender, you know, there are ways of making that baby still born. Email if your up for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lmao - that's so wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Don't such a baby. Just trip over and accidently punch the mother real hard in the stomach when they're having the 'We're Having A Baby' Party. And be sure to say a witty remark when you get up and apologise or else they'll blame you for lil' Duncan's death. |
