20 people/bands managed to tough it out through round 1, but only 17 of them managed to turn in a song for round 2. wait WHAT, Austin Criswell & Charlie Wolf have missed the deadline & have been eliminated. There will be 5 more people eliminated by the judges before the round 3 challenge is announced.
I have finished uploading the 17 entries, and so far have 4 shadows uploaded as well. Hopefully we will get a few more shadows before the LP (I really hope the 3 people eliminated turn something in late), but it's a good batch of tunes already.
Listening Party:
It will be hosted by me at the following address: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/spintunes
It will officially start at 8PM Cincinnati time, (check the counter) TODAY. I will probably start broadcasting a little early just to make sure everything is set up & ready, but won't start the SpinTunes songs until 8PM. All songs will be available for FREE listen & download shortly after the LP.
I'd like to admit that I screwed up. I posted a sequel to The Beatles' When I'm Sixty-Four without doing the proper research.
ReplyDeleteTurns out it was never a single, so didn't chart. A 1967 instrumental cover version reached #43, but that doesn't count either.
Although I'm entirely to blame and will completely understand if I get NUL POINTS across the board, I do think When I'm Sixty-Four is a famous song. A very famous song. Like I'd be amazed if anyone didn't know it. That's all.
I'm really looking forward to hearing everyone else's entries. At least I made the deadline...
Some of these titles look very promising! Also, Edric is crazy.
ReplyDeleteBen: Whether it gets 100 points or 0, I'm sure everyone will love the fact you turned it in.
ReplyDeleteBryce: You're stating the obvious.
Ben -
ReplyDeleteI searched for awhile to see if it charted in Belgium or somewhere else, but it wasn't released as a single. I've been there myself with the superhero song - we didn't make it POV - doesn't make it a bad song, just it doesn't fit all the criteria. It's up to the judges as to how much they take off on that.
Looking forward to hearing the song. I once turned 'When I'm Sixty Four' into a 6 second 'short song'. Drove people mad. I'll have to find it for you.

I don't think anyone would argue that it's not actually famous. In fact, it may well be the ONLY Beatles song that I can sincerely say I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Top Twenty was specified. Won't take away from the quality of the song, of course, but will likely take away from the validity of the entry.
We want to hear it. 'Nuff said.
