I repeat: if that was all you were asking for, you would have received it without a second thought.

I think you may have misread it. That clause means we have to pay if *they* decide to sue *us*.

Your quote is from the second one? Man, that's rough. What was the first one like? [edit] Wait, my mistake. That one *was* from the first. The second one isn't as offensive, and may actually be a starting point. I still wouldn't be happy signing it as it is, though. The big dealbreaker in the new o...

That first film synch. form was too broad, and applied more for contracted musical scoring. [...] This new form spells out that it only gives us the rights to have your song, "Stand in the Circle" play with our short movie "Don't Mind Me". As Bill suggested, an acceptable contra...

What you asked for in your email - permision to use the song as soundtrack for you film - was entirely reasonable, and would have been granted without a second thought (and, in fact, had already been granted). But what matters isn't what your email asked for, it's what the agreement you asked me to ...

That was not the message you recieved from me. I have never been afraid to say fuck when I mean it.

contribute Do you mean this in the sense that you will not be paying people? You should see the agreement he wanted me & yook to sign when he wanted to show the short film that used the omphaloskepsis track as backing at some film festival. It claimed that we were 'employees' who had written th...

I'll gripe where I damned well please.

And not one of you did a version of World Of Screens. What's wrong with you people?

Yeah, another voice for the native instruments pimpage. Battery and Reaktor, in particular, have been extremely useful. For samplers I prefer Halion to Kontakt, though - it does all I want from a sampler and has a much smaller memory footprint, so I can have many more instances of it in the mix. And...

Thanks, Spud.

subdomain access isn't working for me, and of course the user access doesn't have the tilde. Other than that, it looks fine :)

I'm late in finding out about all this.

Blue, thanks again dude for songhole, it was totally cool of you.

Spud, if you could transfer my stuff, at least for the short-term until I get something else sorted, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have no idea who Liz Phair is, except that I gather from reading songfight that she's some kind of recording artist.

Powerpoint slides, and more specifically the morons who use them in a presentation where they just read the contents of the slides to the audience. I can fucking read, thanks. If that's all you're gonna do, just email me with what you wanted to say. Preferably in plain ASCII text. I can read it in 5...

"Rybread Celsius", huh? You an IF fan, Jute?

I dunno if they sell this over there, but if they do I can wholeheartedly recommend it:

i posted this list over on somesongs back in January, but no-one seemed inspired by it: 15-16 Puzzle covering 'I Say Nothing' by Voice Of The Beehive.
