Music Industry Poser

Guy who is unemployed/underemployed that has a hobby of doing something with music, but he puts himself out there as working in the music industry as a professional, as if its a real full time job.
Guy read the ad in the back of Rolling Stone, or saw the commercial on daytime TV since he is realistically unemployed about "working with the stars of tomorrow, today."

Since "graduating" from the recording vocational "school" (that has no selection criteria), when he goes out and people ask what he does, he says "I'm in the music industry/sound engineer/music producer/in a band." He'll name drop artists you've heard of, but you'll never read his name credited on any of their albums.

Realistically, he is unemployed, but has a 'hobby' of making one or two albums for others with day jobs every year.

He is flat broke, and will make up fake albums that he has deadlines to meet as an excuse why he can't afford to spend $10 on Friday night.

This guy, is a music industry poser.

Music Industry Standard Response

The Music Industry Standard Response is the general reply you will get from emailing or calling someone in the music industry. IE: NO FRIGGIN REPLY WHATSOEVER... NONE, RADIO SILENCE, A VOID OF COMMUNICATION, Absolutely bugger all response.

MISR is used by almost any part of the music industry as the first port of call when faced with a long question, a question they don't like, or respect enough with an answer.
"Hi Sir, I would like to book the Bum Luvin' Criminals for my wedding, do you think they would like $10k ?"

*Silence* - Music Industry Standard Response (ie no reply)

...And a day later we watch a bit of bush roll by, and a squeaky sign squeak in the wind.

Ministry of Silly Walks

A branch of the British government, run by John Cleese, that publishes ways to walk that make you look like an idiot.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes me rather longer to get to work.

lt's not particularly silly, is it(Referring to Mr. Pudey's walk)? I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.

Now the Japanese have a man who can bend his leg back over his head and back again with every single step. While the Israelis... here's the coffee.
