You all are very supportive when I have asked for votes on the local radio station....here is something different. It's a songwriting contest from the people who produce the drum program I use (Toontrack). https://apps.facebook.com/meltwaterpromo/998362/entry/1171783 Thanks much!!! Colin

Did you happen to noticed what "songs" were getting the most votes in this. Death metal and hardcore bands, where you cant even hear the lyrics...which IS part of a SONG? right.
Dont get me wrong, those bands are talented in their own right, but it;s supposed to be a songwriting contest, which it never is, it;s always an mp3 contest.
What first tipped me off was that nowhere in the rules did it state that you must own, or use toontrack gear, I dont think theose death metal bands were using ezkeys or ez drummer.
That is why I didn't enter free or not, they sent me the email, i replied, blah.
First of all, who knows about the contest, but other toontrack users and whoever is on the email, so you're dealing with participants and voters all being the same.
Those groups prolly have followings, and they asked people to vote for them, I couldn't believe when i saw over 500 votes for that music.

Bugsey,
You are of course right about the contest. I know I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning it, but if you want to get people to listen to your music, you must leave no stone unturned! So maybe someone will like my song.....who knows?

I was on at this girls place lol. Shes on facebook all the time, so I checked it out.
Thing is it's FOR people who record at home. And alot of these metal bands record at home because there is alot of guitar amp sims and they sound good for metal.
But you know when 500 people vote for basicly screaming, no audible sense of a melody or lyric, that that artist had help.
Not a bad strategy getting everybody on your facebook to vote for you. But alot of people have friends on facebook, whom they never met. Stacking the deck in essence.
You have zero shot, since there is no real criteria, and that would apply to me or anyone else too.
Hate to be a killjoy! Good luck anyway.
