Are you getting free gear out of the gig as well as getting paid?

[Zephyr_Nova]

That's a nice compliment.  "We've got some of the best monitors in the world, so the ad music's going to need to sound really good.  We better get Squee on the job."  'Grats.

I was actually thinking about asking them about getting paid in equipment, but I’m working on this through a production company.

And yeah, I took it as a huge compliment that they asked me to do it :)

 

I’ve already done one tune but they re-edited the video so they needed something more uptempo. I really liked the first track I did, and so did my client, and now I’m worried they’ll tell me that the new track is too dark. Oh well.

Can we hear the tracks once the contract is complete?

Sure!

This was the first draft I did which has been scrapped because the video got re-edited. Just ignore the parts where things get tonally weird... and ignore the mix as well. Like I said, this was the first draft ;)

Completing music and releasing it and saying 'here, this is done' is a great relief.

Oh good! Yeah until 1998 is fully phased out, workers need to have knowledge of both. Which is fucking stupid IMO.

My older brother spent a lot of money on custom-made polo shirts with his company logo on them. His wife washed them and they shrank to the size of a tight Small. My brother is fat.

 

I lolled.

Me too

On a related note, I read the password card for my parent's router once - ONCE - and I remembered it forever. They call me up to ask what it is, and I perfectly recall it, every time.

But...I can't remember the password to mine. :(

How the fuck would I remember a random string of digits?! Be reasonable.

 

why didn't I think of that earlier...

While proofreading my book, a section I had forgotten about made me cry. For reasons other than bad grammar / spelling, I mean.

i managed to get into my apartment (it's still mine, my name's on the lease) and get my ms-10 back!

 

this may well escalate the situation further once my roommates return from holidays but it's worth it to have my baby safe

[ambermonk]

I successfully managed to restrain laughter when my grandmother said "peanuts for squirrels". Because it sounded like she said "penis for squirrels".

Congrats! What's up with your roommates not allowing you into your own apartment, sounds like you're literally at war with them, and since it's still yours you'd have the law on your side going there?

You sound like a cool dude, so why are your roommates acting in this fashion towards you?

[Pipenik]

My cousin (who just turned 20) sent me some psytrance tracks he had made and they're suprisingly good. I think? More IDM than expected. He'd like for me to collaborate with him. I haven't made any music in 6 years but perhaps I should saddle this horse up for "them laughs". 

 

Also sorry for contaminating WATMM with all the familial nonsense and such. [redacted] have no [redacted]* and [redacted] human nature to want [redacted] by sharing [redacted] or something. Idk lol (p dumb tbh). 

 

*Except for cheeseburgerwalrus, we've been having a few chats, heart-to-hearts about computing, The Wire and such. He's a bit too much of an incel for me to really level with tho and is only up at nights. Still (my man) tho.

Pipenik, I like you but the redacting is distracting. But, hey, you do you, bud.
