SpinTunes #12 Round 1 Songs

Big thanks to Tom for running a very LONG & smooth listening party.  It was good to see a lot of you in the chat tonight (aside from JoAnn).  Lots of good songs in this round from old & new faces...it's not going to be easy on the judges.

The songs are now available for FREE download. Until the round 2 songs are posted I will only allow people to download the round 1 album as a whole. But even after that, PLEASE download the entire album vs downloading just a handful of songs while the contest is on going. BandCamp limits how many free downloads I can give away, and 1 album download counts the same as 1 song download.

If this was your first time turning in a SpinTunes song, you are NOW officially a SpinTuner.  Which means you are now allowed to join our private Facebook group where you can chat SpinTunes or any other music related topic you want with the rest of the bunch.  You just have to send a join request, and I'll gladly let you in.

We had 34 total songs turned in before the deadline & we had 3 shadows turned in.  The judges will not be eliminating anyone this round (unless there is a DQ), but they will be reviewing & scoring you as usual. Good luck to you all, and well done!

(Album cover by Matt Schubbe)

- Judges & guest judges need to turn in their reviews & rankings by February 4th before noon (Sat).

SpinTunes #12: Round 1 Challenge

Party Mix - Write a song from the point of view of someone who just won or lost an election.  It could be a recent election, one from the past, or even a fictional one.  It doesn't even have to be political.  (2 minute minimum length) (your submission is due by Sunday, January 29th 11:59PM)

Submitting Entries:- Entries must be received by the given deadline. Otherwise it'll be posted as a shadow. Received means that it has to appear in my e-mail inbox by the given deadline. I will be going by the time stamp on the e-mail in my inbox. PLEASE do not wait until the last hour to send me something. If there is a blackout in your area, your computer crashes, or your dog actually eats your thumb drive...I will not care. You are allowed to send in a draft of your song early just in case something horrible happens & you miss the deadline. Then you can add polish to your song & send in a better version closer to the deadline. 1 minute late is still late, people.



- Send your file in a format that Bandcamp accepts. (.aiff, .wav or .flac) (at least 16-bit/44.1kHz) You can find the specific requirements for Bandcamp files HERE.

- Name your file the song's title, but without spaces & punctuation.

- Title of the e-mail should be the title of the Challenge & your band's name.

- Include the song lyrics in the body of the e-mail. (If your song doesn't have lyrics...consider yourself eliminated. Instrumentals can be pretty, but SpinTunes does require lyrics.)

- Include information on anyone that needs credited if you collabed with someone.

- If you have a BandCamp account, you can just send me a link to your song on BandCamp if you include all the info I mentioned above. Make sure you have it set as a free download, and have it set so that I don't have to put in an e-mail to download it if you pick this option. THIS IS THE BEST FILE SHARING OPTION!

- Other file sharing options if you need them: Sound Cloud (set to download a format BandCamp is ok with) & Drop Box. Please send an e-mail as I already stated, but with the download link if you need one of these services. Please follow directions so your file doesn't wind up in my spam or trash folder accidentally.

Side Notes:

- Remember that you are allowed to send in a little background about your song. Some people don't like to do that, and you don't have to, but if you want to write a couple sentences about your song I'll post it on the BandCamp page for people to see. Some judges will look at the lyrics & this extra info, but they aren't required to.

- If you didn't sign-up in time to compete in SpinTunes #12, you can still complete the challenge & send in a song. It'll be uploaded with the other entries as a "Shadow Song". Check the FAQ if you don't know what that means. You can even complete past challenges from previous contests.

- The only other way to get your music played at the LP is to cover "Today's The Day" by Inverse T. Clown.

- Feel free to leave any questions in the comments.

SpinTunes #12: Profiles

Time to meet your fellow competitors!  I suggest you all test out your links to make sure they are working, and if you notice anything else that's missing or wrong just let me know.  I'll fix them as soon as I can.  The first challenge gets posted later tonight...get ready.

(Profile order is based on who sent in their round 1 song first.)

Edric Haleen:  "Ol' Man Edric" is back!  One of the few surviving relics from Masters of Song Fu, Edric has been part of every SpinTunes except ST9 (when he went on a honeymoon instead) and the two "Champion versus Shadow" competitions (the two summers during which he first wrote and then worked to produce a full-length musical based on Jonathan Coulton's song, The Princess Who Saved Herself)!  Edric would like to thank Travis for his seminal role in everything that SpinTunes is, has been, and continues to be . . . and to encourage him to seize upon the nearest excuse, any excuse, whatever excuse, to escape the confines of the hell that is, has been, and will in all likelihood continue to be Ohio.

The Boffo Yux Dudes:  Old guys who do know better. The Dudes started in 1987, reformed in 2009, and got time off for good behavior. Now they attempt to do music. Allan Morgan, Tom Giarrosso and Scott Mercer head this version of BYD with rabid optimism that they'll be remembered for more than just all those replays on Dr. Demento. Chris Cogott is also soft in the head and offered to help us with the talent portion of our program. Record holder of most ST shadow songs submitted. We live 3000 miles apart, so cut us some slack.

Megalodon:  The "Big mighty" band is an extinct species of shark  rock that lived long ago, during the Cenozoic Era.

Megalodon is regarded as one of the largest and most powerful predator bands in vertebrate rock history,  and likely had a profound impact on the structure of marine rock. Primative recordings suggest that this giant shark rock band reached a maximum awesomeness. The Megalodon showing in Spin Tunes 11 was that of a mitsukurina. We were bested by the Jailhouse Payback, we hope they comeback to defend their title. Sharks always move forward, especially big and mighty sharks. Looking forward to the hunt.

And that's all that matters - songs and stories.

Bryan Schumann:  Bryan Schumann is a composer and performer based in St. Paul, Minnesota. An eclectic composer, Bryan embraces an immense spectrum of music. He writes and produces songs in many popular genres, as well as music for classical ensembles of all sizes (from chamber duos to large orchestras). He also creates ambient, electro-acoustic/avant-garde, and improvisatory music, and produces music and sound design for video games and film. He practices the amalgamation of all styles and is excited by the idea of crumbling the walls of genre.

Mick Bordet:  When not Lunacy Boarding or Dreiviertel Dreing, Mick mostly creates instrumental music that combines timbres in unexpected ways using a range of instruments from self-built synthesizers to broken zithers rescued from a flea market. Past SpinTunes efforts have resulted in songs about fabulous vikings, psychopathic lollipop ladies and tasty highland cows, so don’t expect any boy-meets-girl songs!

DJ Ranger Den:  DJ Ranger Den often refers to herself and her alleged identities in the third person but you don’t know her and neither do they. She suddenly no longer feels the need to yammer on in this bio which might belong to someone else or even to you, should you want to purchase it for a small fee. These were lies an hour ago. In exchange for your silence, we give you this pensive and tiny sullen photograph of ourselves. Also, we are not “real” DJs, but are like über authentic.

Andy Glover:  Hi, I’m Andy. I started playing acoustic guitar at the tender age of 13 and never really stopped. I got my start in songwriting after friends I’d made on youtube encouraged me to start writing my own songs rather than just posting covers. I’m a somewhat “spiritual” fellow, and I enjoy writing songs about the great unknown. And love songs. Those too. I hope some day to turn the touring musician life into a financially viable profession. I’m an avid concert goer and adore the Seattle folk scene.
