The Bobbo Contest UPDATE!
In case anyone hasn't seen it, the Bobbo-oriented Battle of the Bands is once again in full-swing! This is an update after not even a week into the contest.
What a resounding success it's been so far! In 6 days, I've had 9 entrants for a total of 36 suggestions. That easily trumps what I got all of last contest.
Though that's a sizable amount of music to intake, I still encourage EVERYONE WHO READS THIS to enter. It's simple. Just look at the list of my favorite music (Posted at the end of the entry), get a general idea of potentially similar music, and suggest it to me. If it's not on the list, it's fair game (but take it seriously. I'm not going to go listen to Limp Bizkit just because its not on the list).
Two amendments must be made to the original post. Firstly, as the number of bands continues to grow, and I want ample time to fairly judge each band, the end of the contest won't occur until June 15th.
Secondly, I was given a good idea about the prize of winning such a contest. Instead of a song about the winner, the winner should actually do a song with us when we record! Ah snap! It's just been knocked up a notch!
For the record, I've already had three people "assure victory" with their picks. That's going to make it hilarious when I have to inform a couple of them--even funnier if I have to inform all three of them--that they were no victorious.
Thinking I won't like anything you have to give? Just remember, Elliot won last time... ELLIOT, of all people! (No offense, but seriously, you understand). We seemingly had no musical taste in common and out of nowhere, he delivers. So all is not lost!
June 15th will come sooner than you believe, so do your Pat Benetar impersonations and hit me with your best shots!
FIRE AWAY!
