Belle and/or Sebastian Owes Me Money

It's true.


Those fucks owe me around ten grand for the last tour that I did with them.



Here's a nice picture of their lead singer dressed like a Christmas tree with black socks:

Here's what my month is shaping up to look like if ten thousand dollars is not wired into my account by four o'clock today:


















I don't mean to gripe. Correction. I DO mean to gripe. How difficult is it to pay someone for the work that they have done? That's retorical, or the answer should be 'not very.' I have very little recourse in my line of work, unfortunately. It's not as if I'm a brick layer who's been screwed out of 50 bucks and can just go drive my car through the brick wall that I've just completed. I deal in a more ethereal, intangible trade, and cannot reclaim my intellectual property as easily unless, say, I start poking out eyes. This is me giving your band the skunk eye from across the Atlantic. Dicks.


In an unrelated topic: What the hell have I done to my toes? If any of them fall off I'll be sure to let everyone know, stat.

i've refused to work with belle and sebastian ever again because they're notoriously cheap and some of their crew outsource a lot of the work. lame. lame lame lame. horrible lot. i've heard more bad stories than good ones.
