Man, this recession is making it harder and harder to find a job.

And what you can find is so fucking specialised. Just take a look at these wanted ads:

•[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]a female violinist who can also do sparse backing vocals at times when there are no strings (you will be one of 2 violinists)[/size][/font]

•[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]a person who plays both keyboards and a tenor-range brass instrument (trombone, french horn, etc.) For the keyboard side of this we'd prefer someone who is more interested in highly-effected, newer interesting timbres than someone who is really into MIDI versions of orchestral instruments.[/size][/font]

•[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]a bass player[/size][/font]

•[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]a live sound technician to join the band as a regular member (but to do ONLY live sound for us)[/size][/font]

Haha.

Yeah, totally....

WANTED: Live violinist who can sing 6 octaves above middle C, has subsonic hearing, can play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon backwards, enjoys candle-lit dinners, walks in the park, rollercoasters, lives in an 8-block radius of our rehearsal space (we're willing to be slightly flexible about this), and is named Jarmila.

 

[FrostGiant]

Holy crap, I'm a perfect fit. Oh wait, my name is Jarmilla. Crap.

 

[Stultus]

If they can't play DSotM backwards, but can sinc it up with the Wizard of Oz, then I, for one, am willing to let that slide.

 

[Nagle]

Woah! No more Nick Kyte???

 

[Baliset]

[Firedwarf]

Isn't he a very competent bass player, or something?
