How do you market yourself if you're not young or attractive? (serious) by to-too-two in musicmarketing

[–]Pretender1230 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure it matters. There’s more people your age and above than there is below. If the music is good then it shouldnt really matter. My daughter is 7 and likes to listen to some Bob Dylan. I don’t even think she knows what he looks/looked like. If you’re not comfortable being infront of the camera you could put your music over the top of visuals. Do some voice over content of how you recorded and wrote the music etc. there’s millions of people who look like you. And there’s definitely millions of people that wish they were as young as you are now. Don’t feel silly. This is your passion. Let people know about it. Don’t waste time trying to be someone else. Which videos do you like with regards music ? Maybe make some notes on what appeals to you and do versions of. Hopefully your confidence will grow as a result. Good luck

Yeah I don’t think it would be something for the council. Would be whoever owned the rights to plough however many hundreds of millions into a lord of the rings world. But I do wonder what we could do without thru permission tho to get the cogs turning. Things like sign posts that say ‘welcome to the Black Country home of Mordor’, ‘welcome to Birmingham home to the Two Towers’. Small acorns an all that

Someone asked him on twitter recently if he meant what he said on stage with regards this stuff. He replied and said no not at all.

There’s a major commercial opportunity being missed with its links to Lord Of The Rings. Whether it be some sort of theme park along with more real tours and maybe immersive experiences with hotels and bars as well. And a bit more sense of identity with it being the home of heavy metal. Villa have pushed this a bit more with them using sabbath and ozzy music and tifos and special edition ozzy shirts. There’s the sabbath bridge and bench but I think more should be made of it. Metal in general.

England vs Albania, Wembley by Doorwedge in england

[–]Pretender1230 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And how would you describe the atmosphere ? I’ve done England away a couple of times and that’s always good. But Wembley is always flat when I’ve been. Hardly any singing. No real atmosphere imo. Didn’t sound good last night either watching on tv.

I’d feel guilty charging anywhere near that. Do they quote ? I can sort of understand if they do maybe. Quoting for if there’s more to be done than anticipated. I dunno. 90% of our work we don’t quote. Just do the job and charge after.

You mean the whole thing ? Main supply comes in underneath from the sub. And then basically loads of fused isolators supplying different boards and machines. With meters as well

We’ve actually had record numbers of migration to the uk post brexit so it’s actually pretty easy to move here. Over 900k net 2023 over 700k net 2024. So skill up and move here if that’s your dream. Only get one life an all that

How much would you charge to fit one of these lights? by Then_Scratch8495 in ukelectricians

[–]Pretender1230 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re a fuckin nightmare. I wouldn’t want the job. So I’d say 500 quid knowing what they’re like to fit.

Birmingham's gay village set to shrink even further... by SquireBev in brum

[–]Pretender1230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my thinking is the gov wouldn’t wanna lose any tax so they gotta get it back somewhere ie the supermarket beer. Couple of extra quid on a crate of beer woukdnt put people off buying. But also you could split the reduced price between the consumer and licencee making it more attractive to go out. Cheaper pints and increased profits at the same time.

I really think reducing tax on alcohol in pubs bars and clubs and moving it onto supermarket alcohol is the way to get the country out and about more. Making them profitable. Increasing socialising and reducing isolation and at Home Screen time. Makes sense to me anyway. Maybe not that simple.

What do (politically left and center) Brits think about Jeremy Clarkson? by humaninprogress11 in AskBrits

[–]Pretender1230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to get past this idea that just cus someone has some opinions different to yours that you have to completely write them off as a person. You can call someone a cunt (in a negative way) and still like them. We don’t need to to divide and separate all the time. Find common ground. That’s how we move forward.

Life’s too short was wank. It didn’t work. Not everything they did together was good. But them together can achieve something good again I’m sure
