Pretty cool dude!
HEH re: layne staley…nice
No clue who Jonesy is but, I dig how it turned out
Thanks, guys! JONESY is the black guy, featured briefly, in the second verse in the video. He’s a DJ.
He’s credited for samples on the song. I originally wrote the song with him recording me at his house in CT over the summer.
Very little of that original demo was retained for the final song, save for some key samples which is how we began the song (the Godzilla orchestral theme, the “ping pong” sounds that begin the song, and some others).
Yo, watch out for Toho, they are extremely protective of Godzilla and it’s copyright.

Eh, I know a guy who put out an album with extensive Toho samples (http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Music-EP/dp/B001Q13WRA/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329311469&sr=301-1) and nobody said anything. Void’s probably small enough to fly under the radar at this point.
Void is biggah than Godzillah, yo!
Toho’s not half as tyrannical as the Walt Disney Corporation.

Once, years ago, a young nephew of mine was going to have his birthday party. We knew this local bakery in town that a lot of people went to. The cake he wanted was a Mickey Mouse head. Anyway, it was ordered two weeks in advance.
Three days later his dad gets a call from the bakery, basically saying that due to an “unforseen error”, they couldn’t make the cake. He asked why, and the baker was real shifty and never outright said why. Just to make the process smoother, they just got another cake instead.
Years later I went in there for the same purpose, to get a cake. Just for giggles, I asked what the deal was about the Mickey Mouse thing. The girl at the counter basically said they got “secret shopper” calls requesting certain cakes, some of them pertaining to Hot Wheels, Barbie, etc, but in the end always wanted something Disney related. If the bakery confirmed they made it, they basically would get an immediate cease-and-dissist in the mail.
Pretty funny. They’re hardcore.

That is nuts.
I know they pay narc rewards too. Or at least I’ve heard they do. I don’t know for sure that they do that, but it sure seems credible. Teachers that use Disney clips are at a particular disadvantage and I’ve heard of school districts being made to pay 20Gs or more

That cake story is pretty wild . . . . but TOTALLY believable and I don’t doubt it in the least.
Another corporation that has been historically notorious for strongarming small businesses is Coca-Cola. They’ll send “secret shoppers” to the mom and pop diners with the audacity to carry Pepsi products or RC or something and they’ll order “Burger and a Coke” or whatever.
If they get served their meal with the non-Coke cola offering without being told right away, “We don’t have Coke, would you like ____?” they sic the dogs on the restaurant with a nice lawsuit threat. They then have the option to either switch out their offerings and carry only Coke products or get destroyed in court proceedings.
This is why you will almost always be responded with “Is Pepsi okay?” anytime you order a “coke” in a restaurant.

I’m pretty sure when you’re not famous that this is called pan handling. (and even when you’re famous that’s still debatable.)
Void: the world’s first internet pan handler
You’d probably do better to hit the streets with a sign that says you will do anything for cash or make up some sappy story about how you just got into new York and had all yer shit stolen and work the gas stations with that story asking for spare change…
normally you pay the people in your music vid not make them pay.

The role will be as one of the “Grey People” scientists.
Good luck with the fund raising, Void.
I think you might be able to pull in cash faster, though, if you were selling dates with INTEGRITY.

integrity the band? because yes. very much so.
or was that a joke about him having none?
either way, i am with it.
that being said, i wish i liked your stuff void, you seem to really want everyone to believe that you believe in it. and thats awesome… its just not my cup of tea. but keep at it man, new york is a hotbed for the Wilde-ian ‘art for arts sake’ thing.
Integrity is one of his more attractive underage groupies. He used to bless us with some tasty pics of her but he got pissed at some haters a while back and took down all the photos (boooo!!!)
I wish Voidy the best too. Musically, it ain’t all my cup of tee but I love his visual expression and performances.
I really hope he’s able to sell his $1K VIP pack. I just like the idea of him being able to charge more than Al Jourgensen.
