 Post subject: Mood of the WB Listening PartyPosted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 11:36 am 
I was curious if anyone had an idea of what happens during the listening party. I can't help but picture the 'Big Wigs' on one side of a long table and Eisley on the other, sitting in silence while the tracks play with an atmosphere of suspense. Is it more fun? More casual? Do they discuss each song or listen all the way through before going back through the songs they like? I can't remember how this went the first time around, so if anyone can enlighten me that would be awesome! Hopefully its a lot more fun and actually more like a party than I'm imagining! _________________ Poor Writer is my hero. |

yeah...the bad thing is, if any of them don't like the songs, they stand up and hit the big gong that Richard has outside his studio. If they gong 'em...that song doesn't make it.

If they gong 'em...that song doesn't make it. You don't know how many people just freaked after reading that. You're gonna get 20 million PM's asking in some frantic tone, "Did Like the Actors make it?! I love that song! Tell me the big scary label trolls liked it!" |

I'm getting a preview tonight. Me n Weston n Garron are going over to the Craig Aaronson listening party. The girls were like, 'meh... let's go to the Grove, instead". I sorta think it's cool though... They know Richard is an iron clad ally... a defender of Eisley-kind. And me... well, if Richard goes into attack mode, I'll jump in with all arms and legs and teeth and torso... i'll be like all kamikaze jeti. words will be up on my journal tonight... if early in the wee. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

Well if nothing else I do hope it goes smoothly and without the dominating gong-banging execs. In the end, Eisley can know there are so many fans backing them up! _________________ Poor Writer is my hero. |

I hope if a label dude hits the gong on Like The Actors that it vibrates off its fastenings and rolls over his foot. As far as I'm concerned, it'd be harsh but justified. _________________

With all of the talk of gongs and Like the Actors, I keep imagining gongs in the song now. Shot in the chest.

There are listening parties for albums after (or just before) they're released, often with celebrities in attendance, but I can't imagine any self-respecting label allowing Owen Wilson and the Osbournes to sit in while record execs get their first glimpse of an album.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |
