Pulled an all nighter and got my song "Shred These Streets" forwarded. Although I woke up the next day and really regretted giving it that title. I came up with another chorus completely and called it "Get Up, Get Out." But I don't think they heard the new version, so I am shocked :o that it got the nod.....but thankful. You just never know.
The version on my Taxi page has the new chorus, I'd really rather not have anyone hear the original ;) But if you want to hear it, I'll upload it to Soundcloud.

Hey Paul.

The Time of Your Life got forwarded.

Like you I pulled an all nighter and the next morning finished the mix but had major ear fatigue. Wasn't totally happy with the mix but had to get it in! It got the nod so I am happy but I still re-mixed it today....

Peace,
Mark

Nice job, Paul! Fits the "fun, indie" vibe they asked for. And I actually like the title "Shred These Streets" - that's speaks volumes. Congrats!

Congrats again Paul! You must be on the way to being Taxi's most forwarded artist by now!

Watch today's Taxi TV. It was a Peeyo love-fest! :lol:

Your song was played twice and unsurprisingly people were raving about it. You nailed it!

Best of luck again. Nice work as always

I don't think the music sup actually picked the song, he just singled it out as his favorite of the bunch. Wait and see. On to writing more tunes :D
