Dumb Craig's List Ads thread

I won't translate the whole thing, but some local rappers are looking for someone to record some scratching on their album in return for a mention in the liner notes and "naturally a free copy of the album". Yup, just one copy. And you thought $10 per song was cheap...
 
Are you looking for a "unique" addition to your band?

Yes, there's something for everybody on craigslist. AND he has a battery operated PA!

Are you a talented musical artist? So am I. Let's work together. My name is Timothy, and want a side career as a musician. I have some classical training and background, but I improvise very well. I pucker whistle. Please don't be put off. Pucker whistlers don't use hands or fingers to make the sound, simply the pucker. Please let me know what you like to do with music. I also play classical (nylon string) guitar, and keyboard. On guitar, I mostly play improvised, original, melodies. I have a keyboard amplifier with three channels: one dedicated to microphone, and two for any type of instrument. I also have a rechargeable battery operated Public Address system with microphone. And I have a microphone and microphone stand for the keyboard amplifier. I plan to buy an electronic keyboard. My acoustic piano needs repair at present. I believe I am an excellent whistler. I will probably be whistling and playing guitar, alternately--one at a time, at a potluck dinner, background music in about a week and a half. (510) 843-2783

From a local band looking for a keybaordist:

"What the hell is wrong with all of you?

Have people who play keys all gone completely crazy - either jazz, or weddings. Do you not care about music, or are you such stupid individualists?

If your brains haven't been scrambled from looking at a black and white keyboard and you think that individual virtuosity is less important than the beautiful sound of an innovative band - join us. We want to add some new space to the music we create. And it is good, in the style of King Crimson or The Mars Volta, but we're not afraid to garnish it with elements of jazz, funk, or heavy riffs. So you must be a person with an open mind because otherwise you won't get far with us, and you probably won't acheive anything in life like that anyway. Attention - we don't require you to be Peter Hammil, just play your part and don't be afraid to try new things, in exchange you will receive real music.

Write to us."

I do not think it is such a dumb ad. I have seen a few key guys who were not quite all there, or simply did not know how to play in a band.

I want to do that to one of my neighbors, when he's out on a week-end . Pretend I own the place, invite the bands and their fans, tell them the house is locked for security reasons, and then disappear.

They are so stuck-up with everything, even when we have guests in broad daylight, they complain about the noise.

I couldnt get your email to work. Im an acomplished drummer of 6 years , with pro gear and a strong work ethic. I like chains on my wallet, mullets and flannel shirts....as well as the company of an attractive lady from time to time. I have no sexual interest in men whatsoever, ( thats really gross) , and am a team player ( if you know what I mean) . I love to watch women dance, and shake it while Im playing music, and if all the guys stayed home from the club that night, it would be just fine with me. I hope you consider me for an audition.

PS, I hope it doesnt matter that Im a guy, seeing as we have so much in common, this could work out great for all of us. Thanks for your consideration

Bass player looking to start a REAL punk band. I am looking for a guitarist, drummer, and maybe a singer. Q***rs and p*****s need not apply. Similar influences are a plus, but not necessary. Mine are GG, Antiseen, Cocknoose, Blatz, The Hookers, Zeke, Before I hang, Texas Mother****ers and a lot more."

I hope this is a joke.

http://nanaimo.en.craigslist.ca/muc/1374765013.html

Hello there! (ladies and gentlemen?)
If you got that joke, then keep reading.

We are currently looking for a Bass Player for our Rock Band Band. This band consists of a Hard/Expert Vocalist, a Hard/Expert Drummer, and a Expert Guitar Player. Must also play on at least Hard level. Being attractive is a plus, as all three members are sexy bi-hotches.

This band practices evenings and weekends, fairly often, so the more available you are the better.

Please reply with a little bit about yourself, only serious replies will be considered.

We look forward to hearing from you!
