Access Hollywood Rock type listings

[elser]

There's a dispatch listing asking for "Rock type" songs like might be heard on Access Hollywood. When I've watched that show it seems stylistically all over the place. I wonder if a straight Pop or Dance track would go through. Any thoughts?

I'd probably stick to tracks that would be considered rock genre because that's what the listing says. As far as style, tough call... It sounds like they want a lot of cues so my GUESS would be a wide range of rock styles might be acceptable. They key would then be how well they might fare as TV cues in general.

I couldn't submit to this listing because currently I don't have anything of this type available for an exclusive deal.

Good luck!

Thanks Casey, funny thing is in all the clips I could find of AH I heard nothing like straight up guitar rock. I think I'll just leave it alone.

There is also this Dispatch listing.


30 to 60 SECOND URBAN TYPE INSTRUMENTAL CUES a la shows similar to Access Hollywood, etc., needed by a Full Service Music Publishing Company with a solid relationship to a Major Network, for use in multiple shows! Cues submitted should be upbeat, energetic, and rhythm-driven. They said, and we quote: "The network uses over 100 cues per day, 5 days a week, so the possibility of much of this material (from TAXI) being used is VERY HIGH." This company offers an exclusive deal. Broadcast quality needed (excellent home recordings are okay). Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than NOON (PST) on Monday, March 21, 2011.

I wish someone from Taxi would clarify here if they are supposed to be 30 sec or 60 sec, or in the range of 30 to 60 sec.

I actually can't afford Dispatch at this time, but I always wanted to submit cues for these type of TV shows. I am getting ready in case listings like this come through to everyone.
