RPSharman Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Don't know why I found that so funny, but I really did. Great performance by the sound guy, and good production value. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well made and acted as RPS said. Jim, do you know the history of this short? CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Don't know much about it. Came from The Hard Times, which is sort of The Onion for Punk/Hardcore. But they have some funny articles that will appeal to people way beyond the hardcore world (which was never my scene, man). http://thehardtimes.net And they're on Facebook, so sometimes their stuff shows up in my newsfeed. https://www.facebook.com/thehardtimesnews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Cameron Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 That upbeat sort of resolution 'feel-good' music at the end, with his totally negative comment made me crack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElanorR Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Maybe I'm too non-confrontational, but that was really uncomfortable to watch. I had to force myself to watch it to the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to force myself to watch it to the end! I could see that. But it was only funny (to me) because the Soundman character was so blown out of proportion..like to the point of caricature. I can honestly say that I've not seen one near as bad as Mr. Murphy is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, we came across friendly-enough people. Sometimes we had real grumps. Sometimes we deserved having real grumps. The short made me wistful for my ill-spent youth... I also liked how the video above took what could have been a niche and shallow joke and spun out a well-made video with broad appeal. Over 600,000 views on Facebook in just two days.

old school Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 In my bands back in 66, 67, 68, 69..., we never played in a venue that had a sound system or FOH mixer. We had to bring our own. Always the weak link back then IMO. We played at Parties, the YWCA, YMCA, and Country Clubs, and the Teen Center... One time at a Roller Rink. My all time favorite show? The Red Barn. A fraternity at Cal State Fullerton. Don't know their Greek name, but I remember this gig well. They "requested" (insisted) we play Gloria, Louie/Louie, & Satisfaction all night. We did. The 5 of us got 40 bucks. And a story or two. Maybe 3... CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, we didn't always have house sound...that was probably partly why when we did, we made some mixers grumpy. CrewC- that sounds like a great three song set! And then you got to humblebrag to your friends, "Man I'm tired; we played 12 sets last night." :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
