People who are too cool to accept a free CD handed to them at a show[views:9725][posts:130]_________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:05am - Kadoog ""] Good god, DIE. It's FREE for fuck's sake. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:22am - dertoxia ""] haha yea this happend to psytoxia in milwakee, stupid kids were checkin out merch and we had some free shit. they were like 'how much?' uh free just take it, then all the sudden got all 'mmm, i dunno mumblemumble well see...' fuckin douchenozzles |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:47am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Douchenozzles indeed! |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:49am - immortal13 ""] There was one guy that gave us two bucks for buttons we were giving out for free. I'm not complaining at all, I just found it funny. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:53am - the_reverend ""] THAKEEE YURRRR SHEEETEEE CEEDEE UND FLEEEE |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 11:56am - ......... ""] if it's free...it sucks. last free cd i got at a show was graveside service. that should say it all. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 12:06pm - immortal13 ""] Kill yourself you anonymous son of a bitch. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 12:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] if its free its for me |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 12:24pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] last time i took a free cd it was from ShitFuck. I landed on Harvard Ave and promptly got smashed by a cab |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 12:57pm - Nobody_Cares ""] Happened to me the other night. Did a rap show at the Western Front and asked a girl who was watching a performance if she wanted a cd. She said no, I says it free, she still says no. My response was "you're at a rap music show and you don't want a rap cd? That's weird." Even if I don't listen to it ill at least humor someone and take 1. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 1:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] every free cd i obtain ends up in the backseat of my car for people to step on. charge me 50 cents and i might at least listen to it. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 1:26pm - narkybark ""] F-R-E-E that spells free, credit report dot com bay-bee |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 2:05pm - quintessence ""] Sometimes I just dont like carrying that shit around... |
| ______________________________ [Oct 4,2008 4:03pm - Seth ""] If you dont want it at least just take it and leave it for someone who would want it anyway. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 4:06pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I've gotten plenty of awesome CDs for free. There are definitely a lot of shitty free CDs, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to spread the word...it's called promotion. Like Nobody Cares said, I'll humor someone even if I know they aren't my cup of tea. If I know they're complete wastes of life, then I won't bother...that only happened in one or two cases so far though. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 5:17pm - Nobody_Cares ""] Listening to peoples shitty free cds can also be funny or a reminder of how awesome you are. I met a dude at O'Briens, he was this Lebanese dude in his late 30's or older. He gave me a cd along with a card for a limo company. His name was the Rhymeboss. I played the cd and it was him rapping over techno/house music. Some of the most awkward shit I've ever heard. I always wanted to call the number and roll to shows in a limo. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 4,2008 8:05pm - xanonymousx ""] aol cds? victory record samplers? what the hell... use them as coasters for your purple drank. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 9:36am - Kadoog ""] FuckIsMySignature said:charge me 50 cents and i might at least listen to it. that's the worst logic ever. "Hey, here's something I put a lot of work into, for free." "Free?" "Yup" "No thanks, I'd rather SPEND MY FUCKING MONEY" |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 9:51am - handinjury ""] I like free cds, I take them just for the case or paper sleeve. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 5,2008 10:18am - Lamp ""] Buddy from Third Death used to hand out free demos at Providence shows all the time and they're one of my favorite bands ever, free can be awesome. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 10:42am - Kadoog ""] Fuckin a. I know there's a trillion and one bands out there, but at least give it a shot. If you don't like it, give it to someone who might. People are too god damn full of themselves. Or do what handinjury said. Use the case. IT'S FUCKING FREE. I just don't understand you god damn kids and your god damn hippy ways. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 5,2008 11:25am - Lamp ""] Kadoog said:Fuckin a. I know there's a trillion and one bands out there, but at least give it a shot. Exactly. Don't people get bored of what they listen to anyway? Good new music comes from strange places sometimes. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 11:26am - Conservationist ""] I turned down a free CD at a show once because I was too stoned to figure out what was going on. I finally told the guy, "I'm too high," and he tucked it into my shirt. Pretty cool. I think a lot of us "green" types nowadays prefer to find a myspace link -- we figure out if we like the band a lot faster, at 0% landfill cost. |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 12:31pm - dysenteryvokilsNLI ""] im not gonna lie i almost never accept the hand outs BUT its only because i always lose it/ends up getting broken while pitting or something! |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 12:35pm - ellesarusrex ""] cds dont fit in your pocket. who wants to carry it around. you should give people candy instead. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 5,2008 1:16pm - blue ""] ......... said:if it's free...it sucks. this is true about 75% of the time i find. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 5,2008 1:17pm - Conservationist ""] ellesarusrex said:cds dont fit in your pocket. Good point. I'd probably lose them, unless I stuffed them into my rectum and ended up walking like a metalcore/Macintosh fan. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 8:56am - Kadoog ""] what kind of clothes do you people where? a cd will fit in the back pocket of most pairs of pants. Jacket pockets also. Hoodie pockets? mmhmm. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:02am - corpus_colostomy ""] who is gayer... the people who don't feel the need to grab your free cd..for whatever reason. or the extra sensitive dood who makes a thread about people being "to cool" to take the "free cd." *yawn* |
| ______________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:17am - timma ""] [img] Gayer. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:29am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Kadoog is gayer than Rob Halford, Clay Aiken, Lance Bass and Richard Simmons all in bed together. "Boo hoo, the ABHORRED CD didn't sell, I can't even give them away!" |
| _____________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:31am - Mess ""] Abhorred fucking kills and i miss seeing them play. i actually bought the cd. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:31am - timma ""] Abhorred was the first, last, and only show I even went to at All Asia. Man, that place sucked. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 6,2008 9:33am - Mess ""] i saw Leng Tche at the All Asia. I also mopped the floor there with the ninja singer. he enjoyed it though. |

"Boo hoo, the ABHORRED CD didn't sell, I can't even give them away!" hahaha which Abhorred cd? Wallowing sold decently even though it sounded like shit. None Shall Be Spared didn't sell cause we gave it away for free on the internet. Don't be pissed cause we didn't ask you to put it out, you big teddy bear, you. |

I don't care if no one grabs one off the table, but when I come up to you and say "Hey, look, free shit." and you act like you are TOO FUCKING COOL to take it, yes, that's pretty lame. Also, learn to use quotes correctly. There was a "Free cd" so there's "no need" for "quotes" "dickcheese" |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 11:16am - ouchdrummer ""] yeah, it's hard when your trying to hand it out for free and people don't want it. But I guess they just don't like music. |

I had to look up minutia. You learn a new word everyday. And yes, doods by nature are NOT supposed to be that sensitive. Especially brutal doods. Doods that would post on here specifically. When i hand out free, old, ouch demos, people sometimes don't take em. You can't let it bother you, people for the most part aren't going to give a shit about your music. That's just that way it works. If people not taking your cd bothers you, what about boo-ing, and heckling when your onstage? What about not booking your band when you say you'll play for free? You gonna cry? Cause that my friend, is not brutal. Neither is whining about people being "too cool", for the record. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 6,2008 11:56am - timma ""] I'll pretty much listen to anything once...especially if it's free. Those free samplers I got at NEDF are fuckin great. Even if it sucks...#1, it was free (although wasteful), and #2 I like to have a top 3 list of the shittiest things I have ever heard just for my own amusement. Vintage Flesh is #1 right now. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 11:59am - ouchdrummer ""] vintage flesh huh? I kinda have this thing for things that are so terribly bad, that they're funny. So vintage flesh will fit this great superlative? |
