Seriously, this HAS to be a troll post. I can't make myself believe that a band could be this delusional.

Even though I know that most of them are.

"Our music is very poplar"

HOW CAN MUSIC BE A TREE!? Seriously someone should contact them though and see how far the rabbit hole goes.

 

[Melb_shredder]

Absolute gold! Trolled so well that I actually twinged in anger a bit

 

[Jordon]

I quite literally emailed that guy last night and thanked him for the funny. Apparently he's gotten like 80 emails about that post, almost all of which were from people who thought it was serious. Awesome.

"When we go platinum you'll be happy you recorded us for free." Lol, best line ever.

As soon as I started reading that, I thought "man this sounds like something someone on the Sneap forum would post just to vent after dealing with another shitty local band."

if not trolling ->

The "Newman" part gave it away as fake, only idiots like us use that spelling to make fun of the bigger idiots that pronounce Neumann wrong.

Much of the incorrect terminology is more of what you see around production forums making fun of people like that in the post.

"We've got something like 12 songs so we won't need a lot of recording time. Most of the songs are around 4 minutes long so we can probably get them done in about an hour or so. Plus maybe an hour or so to mix. So I guess 3 hours will cover it."


made my day.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yeah that's pretty good.

Haha! Most americans can't understand irony it seems (Big generalization, I know)

Wait, so is it NOT pronounced like "New-man".

I always thought it was. Or is it "Noy-men"?

Nah, it's kinda true. We're young and unable to laugh out ourselves in the same way most other countries/cultures can.

It's "noy-min" - in German the 'eu' dipthong creates an 'oy' or 'oi' type sound as in "oil" or "boil". It's almost a direct translation of "new man" but that would be neue mann and not a single word.

 

[ArthurD]

I would say its between NOY and NEW. Someone from Germany could chime in (Lasse)?

 

[AntonioPetrole]

I actually emailed them as well trying to troll them. I thought they were trolling but now I can't tell to be honest

 

[FIXXXER]

Don Tadley = Tad Donley?

 

[bryan_kilco]

^^

WTF.

"We want to record for free".

"We realize being in a real studio is going to cost lots of money".

So what is it?!?! They want a shit demo?!
