I was contacted by a scouter on myspace that works for A&R select. Ever heard of them? I haven't. Anyways they say they're an agency that finds talented artists and hooks them up with publicity/promotion to mtv/tv networks/indie films/video game companies, prof bios, etc etc etc. They gave me a call and we talked for a bit. Sounded very legit, they went on and on about how great this is, and how lucky I am for being found, and that my sound is exactly what they're looking for in submitting to some recent projects. And how fast the cash rolls in with royalties. Fuck, I was being pampered over the phone. But for all these amazing services I'll be getting, theres a price. 3 month 199USD$ 6 month 299USD$ 1 year 399USD$ Is this legit? They have a myspace but the link to their site doesn't work. Do these kinds of companies charge you? Is this how it works when you're 'discovered'? |

You should NEVER hand money the other way to get stuff out (unless you are self financing a release obviously). Please don't fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book and instead send me $100 every three months to stop you being stupid :P |

It sounds like bollocks. If someone thinks you're going to make money for them, they're not going to charge you are they? It's like average looking girls paying thousands of pounds to fake modelling agencies. |

There were quite a few holes in the guys proposals that I'm slowly realizing after the post-giddiness. He did get some information out of me, like my address, but not my billing and bank account info. That's about the time I said I'll get back to you on that. |

yes, it was the anime (you should see it) I've been trying to find all the dvd episodes because the tv episodes are shorter and certain bloody bits are cut out, and I got like seven dvd episodes but then the eighth was tv and everything got mixed up... |

My mate You know the band Joy Zipper? My mate basically had a deal with their manager (who also managed indie-folksters Turin Brakes) to release a seven inch of electro stuff, maybe a CD album, do remixes of various indie bands, etc...the manager didn't ask him for a penny, just hassled him for music, told him to be at places, meet people, DJ, stuff like that. The fucking lazy bum blew it. Couldn't be arsed travelling down to London (all fares paid btw) to meet industry types and all that stuff. Huge ego, thought that somebody else would show interest, they didn't. Now he really regrets it. |

There you go, you passed the test. I remember when I was a student some fucking Moonie approached me saying "Hey, are you in a band?", nice hamfisted psychological profiling homing in on the dodgy half arsed Goth. Yeah dude, do you want me to come play your fucking Bean Festival? |

Yeah, so my buddy nearly had a deal with these guys: who were a hip up and coming indie label a couple of years back. The manager wanted to go "electro" and had heard some tracks because he'd liked a fan remix e-mailed to Joy Zipper. But the lazy, ungrateful drunkard blew it. |
