So, who's going for the gold? (Global Auto Giant listing)
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 10:29 am
I'm working on something now.. I'm probably going to have to outsource the vocals to a guy with an "American voice" but I'll record a version w/ my own pop-voice and submit that too..
Anyone else going for the gold on this one? I'm thinking some big name cover/remake is gonna take it or something but hey at least I'm inspired to write something new and out of my box.. Hopefully I can have a preview up by this weekend..
What I like about this one is that it appears to be an almost anything goes with some very specific DON'Ts -- which is very useful. The first sentence cracks me up... Timeless, Hip, yet Contemporary (Not TAXI's fault I know)
Good luck!

Major Ad Agency needs an "Inspired, Classic, Timeless, Hip, yet Contemporary" SONG to re-introduce a GLOBAL AUTO BRAND, showing that they are, "Re-worked, slick, refined and very cool." We don't make this stuff up-that was a direct quote from the agency! So is this; "BUDGET IS NOT A CONCERN," for the perfect piece of music. They will consider "re-made [covers of] classics to totally obscure new [Indie] music." You'll need to own the master recording of covers and master/publishing rights on originals. They're NOT looking for, "super-charged, super high-energy, super-hard rocker, or a super slow, dramatic kind of thing, or 80s Cock Rock." Good to know! OUR interpretation is, "Almost anything goes. They'll know it when they hear it, but they need the viewer to feel the positive change when they reveal their new look, feel their pride for bringing such awesome new cars to market, and inspire viewers to buy one of these babies so their friends will be envious that they're hip, cool, and have really neat stuff." Here's a laundry list of descriptors the agency provided us with: "POSITIVE CHANGE, A NEW DAY, DIFFERENCE-WHAT A DIFFERENCE-WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES, GROWTH, PROGRESS, NEW ME, GETTING BETTER, BETTER, IMPROVING, CHANGING LOOKS, A BETTER VIEW, THIS IS THE DAY." Once again, we're just the messengers here. Keep your eye on the prize for what we think could easily be a SIX-FIGURE PAY DAY. Please submit Broadcast-Quality (great home recordings are fine) full-length SONGS that are easy to edit, and you must own 100% of the master and composition rights. The company has requested that we don't give out their company name. If you ARE chosen, they will contact you. THE AGENCY WILL NOTIFY US OF ANY MEMBERS WHO CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY, AND YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Please submit up to (3) tracks via CD or online. Submissions will be screened on a YES/NO basis; there will be NO TAXI CRITQUES. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, January 12, 2011. TAXI #Y110112HC
