BH contest discussion thread.

to Alien ken - that was a real nice video, the slideshow was cool and I enjoyed watching it - your Gramps looks like an awesome dude. Good luck in the contest!

[Bucketdog]

Alien_Ken - ok don\'t worry about it. I\'ll make an exception, because I feel partly at-fault... If you win you\'ll get a $75.00 spending spree and there will be a second place spot for $35.00. Because of the backing track. Otherwise anyone else that wins gets the full amount of $110.00. Are you and is everyone cool with that?

[alien_ken]

Thats fine, Bucketdog. Thanks  

And thanks to Badgerbot and Duckhead, for your kind words

[Wizard_beard]

Wow a lot of really good submissions so far!

Quick question to avoid problems ...in a earlier post i read that it is OK to have some voice over stuff(like Maximum bob type stuff) is this correct? my song has a little at the beginning and before i post it ..i kinda need to know

[Jowaxe]

Good job so far everyone! They all sound great!

[Bucketdog]

^^^ only if it\'s the sound of people getting crunched up, like in cannibal holocaust... Jk, voices are fine. Maximum-bob is the shit! And if it\'s short, I don\'t see why not.

[Wizard_beard]

^^^^ Cool thanks for the reply.. Bucketdog!

[StuntCoyote]

if everyone just read the whole contest thread, this wouldn\'t be a problem  
but you solved it perfectly, bucketdog!  

[Reanimator77]

This contest forced me to get off my butt and compose my first song. Awesome. Everyone\'s songs have blew me away. Thanks to Bucketdog and Badgerbot.  

[Bucketdog]

I jus got home from work and watched everyones video. I\'m really digging this contest! So fucking cool! I\'m gonna do this more often!

[DisembodiedLoaf]

I\'d be very happy if you did this more often. I\'m kind of obsessed with composing. This is the first mandolin song I\'ve written.

[BelieveIntheBucket]

dont let him keep that video with rhythm guitar and lead guitar. he\'s either going to have to re-do it by today or be disqualified. because it wouldnt be fair if you let him keep it because i reeeeeeeeally wanted to solo, i asked specially if two guitars were ok and bucketdog said no.

[DisembodiedLoaf]

It was very clear to me that there may only be one insrument besides drums.

Giving yourself the challenge of writing a one instrument song is very beneficial. I forced myself to do so a few months ago. What\'s great about it is that theyre songs you can perform live with no band or setup.

@beliveinthebucket

Sorry man, I already told him it was cool. But now that you say it... I would prefer if he did re-record a different version. Realisticly it\'s not fair to our other competitors...

Ken - if you could re-do your great tune. I\'d allow you till tomorrow mid-day  to finish it. Don\'t delete your entry, just modify it and post another link. I know I\'m contradicting the hell out of myself by asking you this. But, beliveinthebucket is 100% correct. If you can\'t repost a new video by then, I\'ll buy you any single cd of your choice off of here for all the trouble(and a because you wrote a great tune). Just pm me the cd name and your home address and that\'s it. I\'ll leave it up to you. Damn, I feel like an ass now.

[DisembodiedLoaf]

Just a little trivia. I imported my song into cubase yesterday and I don\'t know why, but it was all slow and low pitched. It sounded really cool. I then reversed it and here is the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsiXH4mud8o&feature=youtube_gdata_player

26 people at tk listened to it, but none of them commented and one even thumbs-downed it. :\'(

Anyone notice that if you go to one of these videos on YouTube, the others are related? Pretty cool. I mean, we didn\'t all have to use similar tags and such.

Mines the only one with no comments. Conspiracy?!
