Bitch who turns out to be an inlaw

I had a last minute rush vocal job for this chick who called. She was in a big hurry.

I set her up in a sound room and did the recording. She was very impatient and never wanted to even give me time to set things up properly. She was a snobby, snooty, better than you kind of person who thought she was a hottie but she was hardly that.

When the recording was done it was time to mix. She didn’t have time to mix. She said “just throw it on a CD, I’m in a hurry.” I then informed her that if this project wasn’t mixed, it wouldn’t sound good. Simply slapping rough tracks onto CD would be for review purposes only. Not suitable for release to anyone. “Yeah, yeah. Just throw it on a CD.”

That was fine with me. It simply got that bitch out of my studio quicker.

That evening the phone rings and it’s the bitch. She freaks out on the phone about how terrible my work was. She goes ape shit over how bad it sounded. She insults me and tells me that my studio sucks.

You know you just can’t win. You try to explain to the bitch that the project won’t sound good until it is mixed. Then when you give her WHAT SHE AKSED FOR she insults you. No win situation.

I get home and tell my wife about this BITCH. My wife asks me what her name is… IT’S MY SISTER IN LAW!

She’s been on 2 or 3 TV ads here lately. I just about want to puke every time these spots come on. What a bitch.

I get the last laugh


Remember my problem with this crappy company called awedeals.com?

They’re the assholes who sold me CDs that were so bad, some even had tire tracks in them:

The final report is in… I had tried to email, call, fax, send notes via pigeon to these assholes about getting a refund for the garbage the sold me. No reply.

So I called my credit card company and started up a dispute. They were cool and told me that my account would be credited provisionally while they investigate my claim. I gladly gave them awedeals’ phone number (which only has a message and doesn’t even give you the option of leaving a freaking message. Even if you could leave a message, they wouldn’t reply). I gladly gave them their mailing address. I gladly gave them their email address. I simply knew that if they tried to contact them at all, they’d get nowhere.

A couple of weeks later my bank informed me that I needed to ship back the bad product. No problem. I sent it off and gave the bank the tracking number. Then about two weeks later, the package I sent came back. These assholes at awedeals.com have f’ing the client over down to a science. Think about this: They don’t talk to you about returns. They simply have a standard email and page on their site instructing you to send your product back to a specific address, along with your order number. All these jerks do is simply refuse the returns.

I just got the final letter from my bank. After completing the investigation, my provisional credit is now FINAL! I can imagine what my bank went through. They probably tried to contact them a few times and just gave up.

So here’s a toast to awedeals.com. I got the last laugh you assholes. I got my money back. If they haven’t already, VISA will soon be yanking your merchant account. If they haven’t already, I’m sure the Better Business Bureau will be contacting you. Actually, they’ll be attempting to contact you. Oh, and I’m sure you’ll be hearing from the California State Tax commission. You see, me and a shit pile of your other out of state clients weren’t supposed to be paying California sales tax. Not only have you been illegally collecting sales tax from out of state, I’d be willing to bet that dough hasn’t found it’s way to the California state tax commission at all.

My friends and I have some work to do. We need to help keep other people from being screwed by awedeals.com. Friends, and awedeals haters alike please comment on this post.

Fell off the drum riser

Playing a big gig one time and my kit was on a very small riser. Right at the peak of the grand finale song my drum stool leg slipped off the riser. I fell off the riser, the stage and back behind these big black curtains. Total fall and distance from kit: 15-20 feet. Fortunately I wasn’t injured.

The other guys in the band said “all the sudden the drums stopped, we looked back and you were gone!” They wondered if I had been abducted by aliens.

“Keep me searching for a brain of gold”

Rocker Neil Young was treated for a “dangerous brain aneurysm” this week but is expected to make a full recovery, his agent said Friday.

Young underwent “minimally invasive neuroradiology” treatment Tuesday at a New York hospital and remains hospitalized.

“The procedure corrected the problem and has been characterized as a complete success with a total recovery. And resumption of normal activities by the 59-year-old rock legend is predicted for the near future,” agent Bob Merlis said in a statement.

Someone had sex on our stage while we were playing

There was a big club we used to play at in a very “touristy” town. The stage was VERY big and had black curtains all around it.

This particular night there was a big stack of risers to the right and ON the stage.

Apparently a female patron of the bar and one of the bar tenders climbed to the top of this stack of risers and “got it on” while the band was playing in front of 900 people.
