Ok

well this is super ...so far we have 8 entries & it only started yesterday!!
the competition will run for 2 weeks so theres plenty of time for all you slow coaches to come up with a world beater
the last date for entries then is the 4th of april.....i will get all the entries together in one of these polling stations weve had before on the 1st of april & announce the winner on the 5th & present them with the lovely shiny trophy
if ive made a mistake with these dates please let me know :)

i think we are now up to 10 entries which is fantastic...but who else is game...all you have to do is write& record a song then turn up the playback speed control on your DAW to get the song down to under 1.30 mins ...its that easy!!
what about all you new members joining in & getting involved here?
there will be prizes for 1st 2nd & 3rd places :)
-
No!!! Don't change the speed on your daw!!!! At least try to write/record it to the time given :(

dom it was a joke :)

Remember "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo? We could have a future number 1 on our hands! :D
For those too young to remember

I have a beautiful 1 1/2 minute piece called 'Fuck You' and it's the punkiest song I have. Sadly, I still don't have recording equipment :'(

I need to relax more ;D

Hopefully it's not too much like this 2 minute punk song called 'Fuck You' :)

I find most punk songs with the title 'Fuck You' under 3 minutes are generally the same ;)

Hope there is still time left for my entry - although based on what I have heard I have no chance!
Its all ready I just want to check the vocals and I will post it!
-
OK. I'm in. Song posted in reviews. Link on the way by PM Tinam.

well done guys we are up to 12 songs i think now! its so good to see new members taking part
im still the only woman in the competition tho.....thats a bit sad
& listen to kafla sayin he has no chance ....when everyone knows he"ll probably win it!!

Been busy and came in a bit late and with the speed the sites moving at recently... I've missed lot's of the earlier entries.
I wasn't going to listen to any of the entries until they were all in and do them all in one hit, but seeing as lots of you guys reviewed mine I thought I better start now. So, any chance of an "Entered So Far" List in this thread so I can catch up?

i will see what i can ........do my only worry is people might think its time to vote for a winner before all the entries are in!
-
Not a crisis. I'll just have to search back through the reviews. ;D
-
Will there be some decent gap between gathering all the entries and opening voting to closing voting? I havent had a chance to listen/comment on all entries either...figured it will be easier when they are in 1 place
-
Yes agreed, but only when the dealine for entries is over I wreckon. Only then put them all in one thread to make
it easy to go through them. I would think anyway :)
-
well i did say id close the competition on april 4th but put the polling station up on the 1st...... & announce the winner on the 5th
is that ok still?
-
Ah I don't care ;D I was just making suggestions :)
Do it however you want to Tina :) :)
