How to approach this one . . . ?

Just a weekend reminder about this juicy listing being run by the HEAD of MUSIC at a MAJOR Hollywood studio. This is more than an opportunity for one placement. It's also a nice way to get on this gent's radar for future projects. Here's the listing again:



TOP MUSIC SUPERVISOR for a MAJOR Hollywood Film Studio needs UPBEAT ROCK SONGS. And we quote: "This placement will pay between $5,000 and $8,000... possibly MORE depending on the use. VIBE, VIBE, VIBE is what we need this song to have! Musically, it can range from CONTEMPORARY MODERN ROCK to CLASSIC ROCK as long as there's a FUN, DANCEABLE BEAT. Think ARCADE FIRE, SOUNDTRACK of OUR LIVES, JET, or the STONES. Give me powerful VOCALS and MUSICAL HOOKS!" They're NOT looking for HEAVY METAL, COUNTRY, BALLADS, or Classic BLUES. UNIVERSALLY THEMED LYRICS that will fit a number of situations and characters are recommended. MID-to-UPTEMPO will work best for this pitch. This song will be played on a JUKE BOX in a bar scene... a COOL, HIPSTER kind of bar

Sounds pretty straight forward. Listen to the a las and try to discern the common thread of VIBE they are looking for. As long as it is upbeat and danceable as well, it might be in the ballpark.

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!
