Hello World!
Its patrick here..
Im offering a fantastic opportunity for any lead guitarists or cellist to join my permanent band
I will be holding public auditions next week and the week in London, only one musician will be chosen. Female, ethnic "minorities" transgendered and homosexual musicians will be of highest importance and will command most respect from the judging panel. Either a guitarist or cellist with improvisational skills, a taste for the avant and extreme and multi instrumental will be well on their way to being chosen first.
Staying power, long term vision and a kamikaze approach to the world of "show must go on" will be much appreciated and applauded...
send your CV and a paragraph defining your character and love for music and influences.
London based musicians most appreciated. Many amazing shows to come in the future... All festival appearances and international tours included in your inclusion in my band/gang.
Send all applications to mybandneedsyou@gmail.com
look forward to meeting you!
x patrick

This is one of those times when I wish I was a better guitarist and wasn't tied up to uni etc.

^^ Agreed! Although I'm not even sure if I'm good enough to actually count as a guitarist  |

I'm so tempted to quit college and move to London and audition. It would be like running away and joining the circus.

It's annoying as I do live in London, I'm female and I'm okish guitarist (could probably play all of Patrick's songs fine). But I can't improvise to save my life, nor would I definitely chose to give up everything, uni etc to be in his band....unless I find out that I haven't passed my uni exams (I don't find out to the end of July though).

Argh, this is almost heartbreaking, because I can't do it. I fit the profile, except for whole playing the instruments thing, haha. I'd be willing to up and move, just for the adventure, but it wouldn't do much good without the instrument expertise. I'd love to tour with Patrick, if it weren't for that huge problem. It'd be not only a lot of fun, but a cause I'd really be willing to put my efforts behind. It's really neat to see appreciation for minorities (both ethnic and sexual), although it does kind of mean almost being prejudice against talented male members of the majority. :\ It is kind of a comfort, though, as I'm a bigendered bio-female (subset of trans, but meaning I switch psychological gender, depending on my mood or the circumstances), so nice to see I'd be appreciated.  |

"Female, ethnic "minorities" transgendered and homosexual musicians will be of highest importance and will command most respect from the judging panel."
Something about that line doesn't sit well with me. It's like he's basically saying "no white, straight or male people may apply". Homophobia turned on its head.

"positive" discrimination is such vexing bullshit.

Similar things are written in job ads. Makes me want to write "sorry I'm white" in my cover letter ... luckily I'm not a man. Then I'd be SCREWED. |
