Another Whinge

Because I can.

Dear Support act.

1. You're not the main act. Don't make demands.

2. I'm not going to spend thirty minutes slaving over your accoustic sound. See point 1.

3. Try and bring your own guitar and stomp box leads. Kids do that, why can't you?

4. I'm the guy mixing. If your boyfriend backseat-mixes behind me, I'm going to intentionally make your sound worse.

5. The reason you can't hear your guitar in your foldback when you pick versus when you strum is because YOU STRUM STUPIDLY LOUD AND PICK STUPIDLY SOFT. And no, I'm not going to change your foldback level each song.

FFS. We had a great support act last night, and now the one that's stuck with us for the rest of the tour bar one night is a total prat.

Life is grand.

On the upside, the PM has now become a really good bloke, and wants to use our company for all his Qld dates. I'm a happy kid.
