Just got back from T in the Park. We played T break which
is a stage for unsigned bands. We played our set and after
we played an A&R man from Sony came up and offered us a
deal. We're meeting him next Wednesday. Pretty soon I won't
have the time to talk to you loser wannabees(never will
be's).

THAT sounds like it will work out good.

Some guy in a park making decisions for sony.

I'm sure he's really in it to further your career and sign
unnoticed talent.

Bill, some guy in a park offered you a record deal.

your telling us on a messageboard how that makes you better
than us......

--------
in any event, if someone with clout says you have talent,
and you were smart, you'd tell him to kiss off, then shop
your record around to labels.

If you really do, then when a label responds to your CD, YOU
are in the driver seat, not some guy pushing record deals in
a park.

I'd trust him more if he was selling drugs :D

lol, some A&R person came up to you in a park bill.

I'm not trying to cut you down, but the premise you base
your fame on so far is lame at best.

I don't want to humiliate you, but T in the Park is the
biggest music festival in Scotland. This was the main A&R
man for Sony Scotland. I don't want to say his name but his
is quite well known. He's been after us for a while. He just
wanted to see us play in front of a big crowd. So all i can
say is, Keep reading the NME.

if he has been after you for a while, that's different, he
must really want the money.

Your lack of fame doesn't humiliate me, the fact that some
A&R guy in scotland cares about doesn't negate the fact that
I don't.

People who sell out to Sony should be heard anyway, what a
shit label, but I'm sure you've done your homework.

how do you take Bill's name and then whore yourself to a
major label?

you humilate me?.............pfffffft

if you are using your music as a tool against affluenza,
then I guess I have to shut my mouth.

either way, I would never buy a records from Sony from a
band that was claiming to be anti-establishment

I think you have a credibility problem there, you sure
aren't pulling a Fugazi here that's for sure.

Thanks again. I know David works for Sony and whatever but
he seemed really honest and into his music and there was
none of the usual A&R bullshit. We'll see next week, but I
have never been so confident in my life of something good
happening.
