In a moment that could either be described as spastic or waggish, I came up with a rather interesting contest. First, to make sure I wasn't totally off my trolley, I sent an email to my fellow rocker, Michele. She not only likes the idea but is rather enthusiastic about it. Inotherwords, it is either a bloody good idea, or she is as nuts as I am. Assuming the latter, here is my idea:
I am (as some of you know), and have been, for a few months now, putting together a band of 30-somethings to record an album (and to tour). We are looking for original stuff. I thought it might be a good for a laugh to run a "your perfect rock lyric" contest. In this we get people to suggest lyrics to a rock song they would like to hear. Of course, if my band uses any, some, or all entries we will give credit where it's duo and a share of royalties.
The deadline for entries is Valentines Day 2004 and the prize is yet to be determined. I can predict it will be music (or about it) and purchased via Amazon, however.
Musical swots may include an MP3 of the music they suggest should be used with the lyrics if they wish. It would help if you told us what sort of song it is (ie ballad, rocker, anthemic, power ballad etc), so we can get a general idea of how it should be sung.
Unlike pop idol or any other of those efforts, we promise not to humiliate or badger you in Cowell-esque manner.
Judges will be Michele, John, and I. Our top 5 will be posted on both A Small Victory and Dodgeblogium.
