I just really dread the idea of doing yet another shoot, especially since it will mean that I'll have done exactly as many photo shoots as played shows with them. Which is obviously an insane ratio for a "band."Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑17 Jul 2019, 6:31pmI'm with Flex re. leaving them with useless photos. Keep in mind that she is, by your account, a racist and an abusive control freak. She hasn't earned your good conscience.

Re: I need a publishing/royalties boffin
Yeah, we got the royalties registered a couple weeks ago and then I told them last practice that next Saturday is going to be my final show (though I am still on the hook for a January show if they don't find a replacement in time).
I'm a little ambivalent because I'm going to miss playing live and don't know how long it will be before I can get that going again. but I had enough people from other bands come up after shows to compliment my playing that I might have some contacts.

Congrats all around. Last show means you get to indulge in a 45-minute bass solo (or until the audience leavers; whichever comes first).Kory wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019, 1:37pmYeah, we got the royalties registered a couple weeks ago and then I told them last practice that next Saturday is going to be my final show (though I am still on the hook for a January show if they don't find a replacement in time).

She's shopping it around to labels now, and she said that if they don't get a bite by the end of December, they should self-release in February.

I'm still a "jerky Kory the jerk" completist, so I'll be buying a copy. I'll even go for the physical copy if you autograph it.

That'd be superduper keen.

Re: I need a publishing/royalties boffin
My cut is only for performance royalties, like if another band plays the song or if it gets played on the PA of a store or something. I'm not going to see a dime from physical sales. I'd probably just wind up buying it and then selling it to you for the same price, if the signature is worth that much to you (if it is, I'd like you to see a therapist).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019, 6:43pmThat'd be superduper keen.

Re: I need a publishing/royalties boffin
Well, if you don't get any sales royalties, I'm more inclined to pirate it then!

Re: I need a publishing/royalties boffin
I really did do my best with these guys to increase the quality of their music by introducing the idea of transitions, intros, outros, etc. In some cases I was semi-successful, in other cases they were very resistant, but in a lot of other cases, Stephen Hague stripped my ideas away in the interest of "streamlining" and radio-friendliness. His aesthetic is very apparent from the stuff he did in the 80s, and he hasn't changed much since then.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019, 8:04pmAll kinds of shitty records get pirated.
