The These Estates Megathread: Finally, I Can Beg You For Money
Johnny C:
Well our Bandcamp website is finally finished and you can actually buy our EP on it now.
The price structure breaks down as follows. You can still download the thing for free if you want, either in 128 kbps or the 192kbps M***af**e link from earlier in the thread, but if you would prefer to hear it in higher quality (anything from v0 mp3 to lossless) you can buy it - track by track, I'm asking at least $1.00 CAD per track, or at least $5.00 CAD for the whole shebang.
That's it! If you like us and you can afford it, please drop a couple bones on the record. It comes with printable album art that you fold up using this method. I think you can burn as many copies as you want.
JD:
Man if I had any money I would buy it
David_Dovey:
You don't have $5 Canadian? Isn't that worth, like, two pebbles? Two shitty pebbles?
JD:
Read my previous statement more slowly Dovey
Johnny C:
I'm crossposting the following, so please ignore the tildes and lack of caps:
so for a tour fundraiser in march my band is going to be putting together a ~*live karaoke night*~ and i'm just wondering what you guys think when you look at this list of song suggestions. we're going to cap requests at like 40-ish so that we can have it go for a reasonable amount of time.
the way we're planning on working is: we're going to post the list of songs on like thursday of this week, and then we're going to start doing a media ~blitz~ to get the word out. first people who are going to get a crack at this are local alt-scene celebs, who we're going to let do it for free. for everyone else there's going to be a pricing tier where you get different stuff at each tier, but the basic level is that you get to do karaoke PLUS you get a live .mp3 of your performance. (we haven't hashed out all the deets for this yet.) we're considering cooking dinner for the top tier.
the idea is that you select your song ahead of time so we know what to practice. we're aiming for like 40 songs but if we come way under we're still going to push the fuck out of the event and practice a "potpourri" selection of tunes that will then make it to that night, and we'll publish a signup sheet for that night that will basically be first-come first-serve. since we are also capping it and trying to do it in advance we're also going to offer to learn whatever song you actually want us to learn. i think.
so ok. here's the list, there's the structure. anyone have any thoughts or ideas or SUGGESTIONS
