#360. DIY it

April 5, 2010

JOEL: OK! You've got your recordings! I say you DIY it, put out the EP yourself.
JAMES: Can't we get the label to help do it?
JOEL: No, I didn't officially sign you. I can't offer the support of the label.
JAMES: If you WERE officially representing us, what support would the label offer?
JOEL: Oh, we'd second-guess every creative decision you'd make. Then we'd probably sow discontent amongst the band, pit you against one another.
JAMES: We can DIY that part, too, I guess.
JOEL: We also promise promotion and then don't deliver, which is a nice feature...

JAMES: Oh... cool. So... what kind of turnaround time we lookin' at?
JOHN: SCREW YOU. You think you're BETTER than me?
JAMES: Um... no.
JOHN: GOOD. Because you're NOT. You've got ZERO talent compared to me.
JAMES: Is this, like, the "hard sell"?
JOHN: Now. Can I interest you in adding toner to your order?
JOEL: No, I think it's the "weird sell".
