Up late doing camp admin stuff till half midnight only to be woken up by new waste contractors for the offices at the bottom of the street doing a collection at 2am.

I just get woken up by heat, and the sun, which sucks when you've had transport nightmares until ungodly hours. I've got to stop going to odd places in North London unless I leave early.

I thought we'd independently booked a gig for this Sunday. Turns out that - BEHIND OUR BACKS - the record label has somehow got involved, stuck in all their other bands in ahead of us on the bill. And the first I hear of it, is through a Press Release where, to add insult to injury, he's using a photograph that we have SPECIFICALLY asked him not to use.
I was under the impression that record companies were supposed to get you gigs, not nick gigs you'd already set up for their own aggrandisement.
I honestly feel like cancelling. I'm certainly not doing any work to promote it.

Anyway, I've spoken to Emma and she's on the case. She knew nothing about it either, so it's not just me that's out of the loop.

With that out of the way...
WHAT A FUCKING TWAT!!!
I sent the bloke from the record company a fairly polite, but quite strong email (even our manager read it, and said it was reasonable) -which I rewrote twice to make sure I stayed professional - saying, basically, look, this is not on, I have a problem with X and Y. Firstly, he responds going all "oh, I'm too irritated by your tone to respond now" then he sends another email going "Fwah fwah fwah" with all kinds of excuses for the things he's done, and then, to top it off, ends it with "oh, you could stand to be nicer to me, instead of blowing up by email".
Dude, you have not even SEEN blowing up.
But this is EXACTLY the sort of crap he used to pull when he was dating my bandmate. He would do something totally insensitive and horrible, and then if you - quite legitimately - got upset by it, he would be all "oh no, calm down, don't be such an angry, hysterical woman!"
So I told him "if you don't like my tone when I'm legitimately angry, maybe you should stop and think about what you are doing to MAKE people angry."
And I don't care if he reads that, or if my bandmate reads that. He's a fucking twat and this shit fucks me off.

I am scared that we're going to get stuck with this twat long term, that we'll somehow be indebted to him forever if we do the single with him, and he'll go around trying to trade on our contacts like he's been doing all along. It's not just us, I've heard other stories about him from other people in the music scene, how he exploits connections and stuff, argh. It makes me feel unclean.

I first met Ned in... errrr... 2000? On tour, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe Seattle. I'd had enough of Rockrgrl so he kidnapped me and took me off to Terrastock for some dronerock. Oh yes.

Yup, more or less -- October 2000. I did not so much kidnap as summon. Please note I have said nothing about Kate drunkenly holding onto a DDB as Elvis T. and I passed them in the street, nor about the photos of her smooching a bartender. *runs away*
i met ned last summer, in an pub.
Yus! And I am very glad to have done so. :-) That lunch we had with Mark S and Stevie was a fine noontime out.
I have yet to meet Ned :(
Alas! Sometime soon, sir. :-)
Hmm, I'm a ghost now.
I don't define myself by this at all.
Ailsa is very wise. :-)
I do indeed. And Lauren rules, and you ALL rule, yes indeed. :-D
