Here's the listing:ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library for Film/TV placement opportunities. They need really high energy tracks (no vocals) for car chase scenes, sports highlights, high suspense action/thrill footage, etc. Current sounding styles would be the best choice here: Rock/Electronica/Hard Rock/etc. A blend of orchestral instrumentation with the mentioned stylistic approaches might also be a great direction to take. They'll be looking for tracks that don't sound overly synth generated - authentic, pulsing and exciting! Your track should be within 1:00-3:00 and they'll mostly want to hear mid to uptempo tracks. They offer non-exclusive, 50/50 deals. Broadcast quality needed (great sounding home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than October 10, 2008. TAXI # S081010INHere's the links:Blindsided - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... =trueWe're Almost Home - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... ream=trueI just had got back from the Rally, checked my email and the forwards were there waiting for me. What a great way to end the weekend!- Big Blue

thanks everyone! Allen... I enjoyed getting to meet you and hanging out in the lounge. I think you mentioned wanting to do world music type songs. I listened to your CD and I would also encourage you to do more acoustic guitar instrumentals. I don't have my notes in front of me but I jotted down my 3 favorite track #'s as I listened to your CD. I believe all 3 of them were acoustic guitar instrumentals.Raags... It was great meeting you too! I knew wearing all that blue would come in handy! I look forward to seeing you next year too! I thought I'd put up my old avatar pic before I cut my hair since I had a blue shirt on. Time for a new picture!- Big Blue

Later in the rally it hit me: Sure, World Music, why not, but why not submit more guitar tracks too? In fact, why not shoot for anything and everything? Those listings are starting to look more and more like ping-pong balls falling from the sky every day. Check out our friend Dean in action:
