Are you saying you would be able to say no to those two singers if they asked you to mime bagpipes in their next video?

I had no idea what it was going to be. Someone asked me in a bar to be in this video and I got paid what seemed like a lot of money at the time. I actually know the guy whose organ it was and he got paid the same just for loaning them the instrument. So what does that tell you

heh heh, you said you know the guy with the "organ"

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 March 2010 15:08 (fourteen years ago) link

have you watched him play his organ before?

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 March 2010 15:08 (fourteen years ago) link

He has a detachable organ? (xpost x 2 dammit)

If I were you, I'd complain about not getting to use the clothes-changing portals to the future more than posing with a farfisa.

I think he should play bagpipes in the next video! Keep the "fake session band" consistent. If the chicks get to make another video, that is.

i never would have done it if i thought it would compromise my credibility on an internet messageboard ten years in the future. nothing's worth that

antexit, Tuesday, 9 March 2010 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah if there's one thing i think of when i think of music videos, it's the word integrity

I wonder how much it would cost to get them in my next video.

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 March 2010 15:26 (fourteen years ago) link

"next video" is a euphemism I take it
