For what it's worth, i just wanted to be sure the judges get that, although i am male, my song was meant to have a female protagonist.I think that comes through in the words, but just in case.
ReplyDeleteAt least a few of the judges are used to Edric singing from a female p.o.v., no worries. :p
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, after the discussion about the poll last round, I came really close to not even publicizing a vote request at all for this round. I did so mainly because at the listening party Jules more or less told everyone to do so sort of unabashedly. I was going to comment on the poll page but comments don't seem to be open there, so I'm writing here.
ReplyDeleteYou can see my request here -- http://theoffhandband.com/2010/07/my-song-in-round-3-of-spintunes-1/ -- and the email version I sent out had almost identical language. Compared to my previous requests, I don't simply say "Vote for..." anywhere at all, there are no exclamation points to cheerily rouse support, and I very clearly tell people that they can vote for up to three songs and that I hope they'll listen to them all, vote for the ones they like best, and that I simply hope that mine is one.
I hope this quells any concerns anyone has about at least my participation with the poll.

Is Sara's *video* the same recording as on the bandcamp page?? Cos it sounded a bit muddy to me on bandcamp?
ReplyDeleteWeird if it is....
I don't know Joe, I uploaded what I was sent.

ReplyDeleteWhile we're all waiting for the reviews and results. I just wanted to say that, whatever happens, I have really enjoyed being a part of this competition. I have participated in several other somewhat similar online amateur songwriting challenge communities, and I appreciated the focus this one placed on the writing and the very positive nature of everyone here. If another one of these comes around I hope to participate again. Thanks to Travis and everyone involved for making this a fun experience (so far, fingers crossed).
ReplyDeleteThanks Ross. Whenever SpinTunes #2 rolls around we would love to have you involved again. Hopefully I'll do a better job planning, and it'll run better next time.
ReplyDeleteI hereby vote for Joe's song!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryce.. you are very wise... ;' )
