with my commercial project so I'm sharing something else I made for free. It was included in the London Short Film Festival in a talk by a writer from the Guardian- and I got paid literally nothing.
It's a music video which is made with Open Office. Some of it is real - i.e., I really did color in all those squares - and other parts were done by an animation studio.
It's a few years old, but I'm still proud of it and also still feel weary when i think about how long it took.

Nice video.
I really liked Babybird back in the day. That first commercially released album was a classic and I'll fight anybody that says otherwise. However ... a few years after the hits, I saw him in a small--ish local venue and he was miserable as fuck and really, really didn't want to play *THAT* song. I get it - monster hit is embarrassing and you want to play us your new stuff which is much better. Happy to listen to the new album Stephen, but the deal is we get to hear a couple of the back-catalogue songs, especially the hits.
I hope he's come to terms with it now.

and I totally get their sentiment on the matter. They started doing weekly live sessions during lockdown (still continue to do so, but not as often). People asking for the "classics" but they've just released a new (very good btw) album. It's quite different to their earlier stuff, but it's pretty darn good. They branched away to make music for themselves rather than to just get a "hit". After years of gigging the same tunes over and over you get bored. Every night for years on end, you can imagine! When you create new music you just want to play that, it excites you again, not the old stuff. That's boring to you now. In fairness to them they did a fair few reimagining's of the earlier stuff that was bloody awesome.

I think the deal is "This hit single will be a albatross around your neck for the rest of your life, but it does shit golden eggs". I wouldn't mind playing a song that I wrote 20 years ago a few times a month, if it paid the bills, even if I now hated it.

Chances are the record company does very well out of it but the artist being shouted at to play it doesn't.

If that’s the artist then they do well. If that’s the record company they will do well. The artist of the most popular version of the song will do ok out of royalties too. If they’ve been stupid enough to sign away these rights, then diddums. And what artist would release anything without wanting it to be a hit? “Oh, that was just meant to be an album track actually, I really resent the people making it a hit, the record company made me release it as a single, life’s so unfair.” Fucking diddums.
Spare a thought for Norman Greenbaum though. Legend has it that many Hell’s Angels were rather keen on his one big hit, and at some gigs would force him to play it repeatedly under threat of violence should he not comply. He’d usually be able to get the hell out of Dodge after an hour or two. That’s pretty tough.

I decided that I'd get some pork jowls from the butcher. This pleased him, so he went to the back of the shop and brought out an entire pigs head, and sliced the cheeks off it. Got it home and saw that it wasn't just the outside of the cheek, but it was the inside of the mouth too. Long story short, was sure I'd prepared it and cooked it properly, but was very sick for two days afterwards. Won't be doing that again.

I have a drinking problem.
And the problem is that whenever I get drunk, I want to play a game which I call Bad Decisions.
In the game, you ask the other players questions about moral dilemmas, and then predict their answers. Those who predict correctly, get a point. It seems like harmless fun. Right? Dead wrong.
It’s all fun and games as long as you’re in the pub with your mates. You’ve got people looking out for you. People who care. People who pull you back if you get too close to the edge.
But when lockdown came, things got more intense. I got obsessed. I started playing over zoom calls with friends; then with friends of friends, then later on, with strangers. And I wasn't long before I was texting my mum at 2am to see if she would divorce Dad if he admitted he was a robot, or desperately asking my colleagues if they would assassinate a five-year-old Hitler. When things got really bad, I started asking Siri what she would do if a dying man asked her to pray for him: even if the dying man would never find out if she did it or not.
I ended up writing 320+ questions into a book (books are cheaper to print than cards) as well as eight yes/no cards for answering and making predictions, and put the whole thing together into a beautiful package which is in Spanish and English - and also, it’s illustrated.
It's out of me now. I am free. And while I will always be addicted, I have found a modicum of peace.
Chapters include:
Sex and death
Shakira
Money
The Forbidden Question
All ages
Unlikely Situations
etc.
I made 400 copies (spent about €3000, printing locally) and now I am selling them. I still have about 300 left, which is embarrassing.
Anyway, please buy my book at malas-decisiones.com and use the discount code B3TAN to get €5 off. UK orders are posted from Derbyshire and Spanish orders are posted from my home in sunny Spain. It would make a great gift for a friend or a lover, or a terrible gift for your grandparents.

Theoretically, if I said I might buy one due to being drunk in charge of a keyboard on a midweek evening, why would the online shop tell me (when I give a UK address) that the only shipping option was €4.00 to "Europe (except Spain and UK)" and then offer to charge me that, so that the net price of the product including €5 b3ta discount is only €1 lower than the headline price?
Perhaps you could offer a greater b3ta discount to alleviate the pain of the high initial 'arbitrary price' for the goods and the intransigence of the order collection engine. Unfortunately by the time you take a look at it I will have sobered up and the current high price will appear too much to bear, even as an amusing gift for 'friend or lover or grandparent'. I suggest doubling the b3ta discount and perhaps the community here will help you shift your unwanted stock.
