ultimatums on day 6

Andrew Fraser — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 15:26:10 +0000

“Gentlemen, I’m a busy man, so I’m going to do you the respect of laying all of the cards on the table.”

The malfunctioning facsimile currently passing for a shower was intent on making his every experience in it a test of pain tolerance.

day 4

“See, this is where I get confused. Are we sellouts just because we made the leap at all, or because our music changed to fit some type of social paradigm? It certainly can’t be the latter, as our music, by your own admission, has sounded consistently unoriginal from the start. If it’s the former, I suppose we are guilty, but that’s a ridiculous double standard I don’t even want to get started on.”

this was day 3

“You guys want a copy of the record or something before you take off? I’d give you a shirt, but that’s a lost sale.”
“And giving away the CD isn’t?”

“Does the existence of a similar sounding band completely negate everyone else who comes after? On those same lines, does being ‘original’ mean your band gains instant artistic credibility?

He did not go as far as putting the phone to his ear and playing out a fake phone call, as some of his lonely peers did. It was difficult enough working up responses and queries for one side of a conversation, much less dynamically generating both. The need for social acceptance was not greater than the depth required to cultivate an imaginary partner worth talking to.
