Its a simple yes or no question.


Yes.

And the reason is, because they INVITED me, not because I PAID some third party to get me there.

The music industry, what's left of it, has so little pride anyway. I won't be a part of the crumbs that are left in the biscuit barrel.

cheers, niteshift

PS - there is no such thing as the 5 minute pitch. It does not exist. It is an urban myth. In reality, it's more like a 2 hr chat fest of like minds. Would you invite someone into your project, and play the 5 minute producer ? Again, this rubbish is coming from LA LA land. And even there, the 5 minute pitch doesn't exist in reality. It's a learning tool, in order to be brief and concise.
