How stupid is this?
My conversation with AFA today.
AFA: Dear, we can't accept this submission
Me: Why not?
AFA: Because you clearly state that you recorded 4 of the songs prior to the start of the project
Me: Ummm..that was the demo
AFA: Yes, well, we can't accept that
Me: Ummm...how am I supposed to include a demo if I don't record one?
AFA: You are just supposed to record the songs and do nothing to them (which is not stated on their application form)
Me: But it's a demo...and you asked for a demo
AFA: Next time you need to ask for money prior to recording songs for the project
Me: I did!
Me: And, I am not asking for money for the ones already done, I am asking for money for the ones I haven't recorded yet
AFA: Sorry, next time ask for money for songs you haven't recorded
Me: But...but...demo...you....sputtering about them wanting a demo that I apparently I am not supposed to record and yet need to send....
Fucking AFA. HONESTLY....what kind of stupid system penalizes you for making your demos better? Honestly, doesn't everyone build on their demo? Isn't that the point of a demo?
