A few days ago, there was a girl asking me if I could make a song or two for her dog frisbee shows. She needed them by this upcoming weekend, and I said I would like to, but that I’m unfortunately very busy with working on the album. She then offered to pay 138 euros for it (get it, 13/8!), so I couldn’t really say no. :) Also, she had already bought t-shirts from my shop!
So today, I spent a little while to record the two pieces of lyrics she had sent me. This is the shorter one of them, they’re quite silly, so you probably don’t want to hear both:
By the way, I got this message regarding my album poll:
“Are you kidding? We’re supposed to pay 10$ for a drawing? that’s in no relation to the “only music”-price…. Just saying..”
So I thought I had to clarify: Those ten extra dollars are for those who want a signed copy. I will have to pay to get CDs shipped to me, sign all of them (and make little drawings) and put them all into individual envelopes that I have to buy, and finally get them to the post office and pay to ship them away again to all corners of the world. I will probably not make more money this way, but I’m doing it for you.
“I will probably not make more money this way, but I’m doing it for you.” Awwwwww!! I would buy 100 of them if I could!!
Those puppies look like they’re ready to rock in those t-shirts. Hmm, I better hurry up and order one! :)
People these days always want everything very cheap or for free, not thinking about the hard work behind it and no need to mention that some people have to live from the art they’re doing…”just saying”.
Maybe they thought you only do the personally signed CD’s if this option “wins” the poll and not that it’s only an option and you are only looking if people would generally be interested in it.
Personally I think it’s a cute idea and those who voted for it and want a personalized version appreciate the effort of yours.
The other options are pretty normal prices too, no actual need for people to complain. I get that a lot too, when working on requests for paintings and sewings.
Rant over ;)
I wouldn’t mind paying an extra $10 if it were only for the picture anyway. Really, it’s just a bonus. ^^ It is only $10, after all.
Thanks, you guys. :)
i think it’s really nice of you to offer the signed copys =) it’s a lot of your time spending in organisation and realisation, shouldn’t forget this. i can’t imagine there would be a lot of people doing that. people always forget, that you have to pay for ever4ything on your own (envelopes, shipping…)
if somebody thinks it’s to expansive he should just buy the normal copy then or take the download option.
For some weird reason…. I love that Gina song!!!!
Meroigo: Really, I thought you’d really hate it for some weird reason!
….I’m confused, now i think I hate it…….. …. … why !!!! suddenly I feel the lyrics feels all…wrong?! Hmmm.
