Iggy Pop forward!

[shanegrla]

Finally, a long slump broken! I got my song Motown Punk (on my Taxi page) forwarded for the punk listing:

ENERGETIC ROCK INSTRUMENTALS are needed quickly for a $1,000, Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Company Placement by the Creative Marketing Director of a cutting-edge, food-related product. We recently ran TAXI Listing #U160501IN for them, and they’re now looking for another style, so please don’t submit the same music. They need fresh, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Rock Instrumentals that could be found on the same playlist as the ever-so-popular song, “Lust For Life” by Iggy Pop. Please listen to the reference they gave us to get in the general ballpark of what they need: “Lust For Life” by Iggy Pop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuBU3pzy7is TAXI TIP: We think the distinct “Motown Shuffle” style beat combined with a rockin’ vibe is what they’re really after for this pitch. Here are some additional song references that are a great example of the sound as well! Check them out!! “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” by Jet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuK6n2Lkza0 “Town Called Malice” by The Jam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpRm-p7qlY Even though the references have vocals, they’re looking for Instrumentals only for this pitch! Quoting the Marketing Director: “We’re thinking ‘Lust For Life’ by Iggy Pop could be a great reference (as long as it sounds fresh). We mostly like the vibe of the Drum/Guitar intro.” Give them fun, lively, and energetic tracks with typical Rock band instrumentation, and a groove, sound, and vibe that are in the ballpark of the references. Give them a real band feel and an edgy, punchy mix that grabs them by ears and pulls them into your track. Your submissions should be at least a 1:30 in length, with good edit points. Non-faded endings will probably work best, but if you’ve got something that really hits the nail on the head and it has a faded ending, go ahead and send it. Do NOT copy or rip off the references or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fee for this placement is $1,000. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Company placement, so you’ll get 100% of the sync fee, you’ll keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, and you’ll also get 100% of any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. All Submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals online or per CD no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Sunday, May 8th, 2016. TAXI #U160508RK

I could definitely use the $1,000 about now!
