My song "Love Story, Where Are You Now?" (on my Taxi page) just got forwarded for this listing:

UPTEMPO INDIE ROCK and ALT ROCK SONGS with MALE VOCALS are needed by a Hollywood-based Music Library that has gotten TONS of TV placements for TAXI members. QUOTING THE SOURCE: "What we really need is a similar UPTEMPO GUITAR STYLE to 'Reptilia' by The Strokes, 'Animal' by Neon Trees..." As always, DO NOT rip off the referenced songs in any way, shape or form. Use them ONLY as a guide for texture, tone, and tempo. They're looking for a vocal performance with real CHARISMA. Lyric themes may vary, but must be UNIVERSAL. MALE vocals ONLY! Vocal and Instrumental presentation must be impressive. Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). You must own 100% of your master and composition. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Thursday, December 20, 2012. TAXI #Y121220AR

After about 16 returns in a row, I seem to have broken that miserable streak. This is my third forward in a row in the last few weeks. And it feels pretty good. Things are certainly looking up! :D
